Do you think Lita will return to the ring some day ? Lita is the greatest female wrestler in WWE history. She's 37. She's still got it.
I don't see her returning on a full time basis, no. I could see her doing a match every now and then , plus appearing on the 1,000th Raw, but that's it. There are a few reasons. One, she got out when she decided it was time, which I respect. She has had some injuries and as a person gets older, injuries tend to get worse. More importantly though there is really no reason for her to come back. When she was in WWE, the divas meant something. Now, not so much.
I realize it may be too soon to tell, but what is your professional opinion on the whole situation between WWE and TNA? We have a minor lawsuit, 3 hour RAWs coming up, TNA live is getting better and better, and it seems like WWE only pushes their mid and undercard talent when they're desperate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it possible we could see another large company buyout 3-5 years down the road, i.e. WWE/WCW? It feels like the pawns on the chess board are being carefully placed for someone to eventually yell "checkmate!"
If you are asking if TNA will buy out WWE, no way I see that happening any time soon. TNA's product has been better on the whole that WWE lately but their audience has gone down since moving to live 8 p.m. shows. As for WWE buying TNA, I don't think that will happen in the near future either as TNA has enough TV deals in place to keep them viable for a while.
Why do some wrestling writers feel [a little bit] disappointed when a big match ends via roll up?
It depends on the situation I guess. If it's done as a cheap finish on a PPV then the paying customer can feel ripped off. If it's done at the end of a hard fought match it can be a letdown. Generally the roll up comes across as a "lucky" way to win a match and that rubs some people the wrong way.
According with an article written by Buck Woodward the NWA did not acknowledge titles changes that Ric Flair had in the Caribbean. Why do promotions do that?
Years ago, before the advent of instant access to information, promoters would do title changes on tours like that to give the fans in the home countries a special treat. It was a way to give the fans there something special by seeing a title change. Obviously, that would never work today.
Since Raw will be moving to a 3 hour time slot, could you see WWE bringing back the TV Championship and having him defend it every week? I think it would be a great way to help some the younger stars get their time in the light. It could also help to fill the first hour; much like WCW did with the cruiserweights on Nitro.
Honestly, I think WWE has too many singles titles now. When Santino holds the US Title for as long as he has, it tells you a lot about the state of that belt. I wouldn't want WWE to bring in another one when they can barely figure out how to effectively use the US or Intercontinental Titles. Now I do like the idea of the taking the IC Title back to its roots and making it the stepping stone belt to the WWE and World Titles. That would be a good way to elevate younger talent. Of course, creative would then have to cease their infuriating habit of feeding the young guys to the already established stars and it seems at times like kicking crack would be easier for them to do.
