Do they really think that ANYONE is interested at all in seeing DiBiase vs. Hunico for the 100th time?

I think maybe their families.  Other than that, no one I can think of.

Is WWE happy with David Otunga and if so, is it simply because he is engaged to Jennifer Hudson an from Harvard? Or are there other reasons?

From what I have heard they like his look and his intelligence.  They feel he does a good job acting.  But oh yeah, the connection to Hudson is a big factor in his favor.

Why do people keep throwing out the same names over and over again as someone to replace Vince Russo in TNA Creative? Jim Cornette, Paul Heyman, lather, rinse, repeat. Why is the new name I’ve heard involved in writing and booking wrestling in the last few years Matt Conway? Isn’t one of the big problems in wrestling right now (that Paul Heyman himself has even said) is that so many people in the business are solely in the wrestling bubble and know nothing of the world outside of it? I know it’s a great talking point for “old school” guys to rag on television writers and supposed comic book nerds to get a pop at conventions, but one of the most acclaimed and well-received companies in wrestling right now...is CHIKARA. Why is the wrestling business and wrestling fans so set on going back to same well over and over again?

You echo a point I have been making for years now.  Bringing in people to do the same things that the guy who just left, when the business itself is not thriving, isn't the answer.  Guys like Heyman and Cornette only became who they are when they got a chance.  The next great booking mind is out there.  He/she just needs to be given the break.

When I watched the battle royal on SD last week, I had a thought : Would that not have been a perfect place for Christian to return, win, and get in the chamber? Of course it didn't happen (no real surprise there), but don't you think that would have been a really cool move, and a huge surprise?

That would have been an awesome way to have him return, especially when we found out that the replacement was Santino Marella.  Christian would have been a really good replacement.  

You mentioned that Chyna was doing a second porn movie with porn actors impersonating Hulk Hogan, Triple H, The Iron Sheik, Ric Flair, John Cena and other wrestlers. Isn't Chyna asking for trouble since this could end her second career? Couldn't Hogan, Triple H, Cena, Sheik and even WWF/E and TNA sue her for slander and using their character names without their permission?

It doesn't affect her unless she is the owner of the project.  With that said, as long as the characters are parodies of the people it is perfectly legal.
