  Ok, so "The Board" was going to let HHH fire Laryngitis. Now they want to put him in contention to oversee BOTH shows? (I know…that's creative). But what I want to know is…can HHH still fire him, and why do you think they will want one man to run both shows? Is this a way to make the wrestlers work on both shows without question? Kind of like the end of the brand extension. And if Laryngitis wins..what becomes of TL?

If HHH could fire him, he would have followed through when he actually did it a while back.  If he didn't have the stroke then, he doesn't now (at least in logical theory).  The program with Ace and Teddy is just that, a program.  Hell, Ace is still the interim GM of Raw!  If Teddy loses, I would think he would stay around and somehow win his job back, and maybe Ace's too.

Was bringing up CM Punk's alcoholic father really necessary for the Jericho/Punk feud? I mean I understand it's a good way bring heat to Jericho but at this stage in the buildup to the match it seems out of place. They're feuding about who is the best wrestler in the world and then this gets thrown in? Plus I think the alcoholic father bit could have been better for buildup to a rematch, if Jericho is sticking around after WrestleMania.

I think it was because so far Jericho's return has been a bit flat.  He is back but he hasn't come across in the way that Rock has.  So I can see why they put some heat on the feud.  I think it was needed to get the fans intrigued by the match.

Is it just me or is the WWE really pushing the envelope as far as being PG is concerned? Are they maybe planning on going back to the PG-14 rating?

They have been the last few weeks (and I like it for the record).  They did the same thing last year at WrestleMania time.  At this point in time it's more about getting people interested in the biggest show of the year than any change in overall direction but it does beg the question that if they know that is what the fans want to see, why not cater their partner deals so that they can do it all year long?

The story last week regarding the McMahon's worth in stocks and bonds which I believe was 375 million. Does that figure include their WWE shares? Is this figure their total worth or just in stocks?

That was the low end of the estimate that they gave.  I believe they estimated all of his holdings, so that would include WWE stocks. 

Since Brandon Jacobs got released by the Giants is there any chance he will get a contract from TNA?

TNA would give him a contract in a second but Jacobs is looking to get a contract from another team in the NFL.  He is not ready to leave football yet.  When he is done, I would love to see him try wrestling.  He showed a great aptitude for it during his TNA run.
