Justin Roberts and any other announcer make a living off only being ring announcers or do they have "real jobs" outside the business?

Lilian Garcia obviously does singing outside of WWE.  Tony Chimel heads up the ring crew.  I am not sure about Roberts but yes, WWE ring announcers absolutely make enough money to live on.

What do WWE cameramen do when not on TV?

Like ring announcers, the cameramen are paid more than a living wage.  There is a lot of travel that goes into their work and their days at TV are long ones.

Here lately you guys have been praising TNA for putting on a much improved product. I must say I agree they're doing a much better job in a lot of areas, but one thing that's really irritating me is all the rollup infalls. They're using them way too much in the BFG series, and they look really weak and poorly executed in a lot of cases. I don't mind a rollup once in a great while, but come on it's not believable to me that they wouldn't be able to kick out of a weak rollup. Thoughts?

Since I haven't really noticed it being an issue I guess that means that I don't have any problem with it at this point.

What happened to the classic foot stomp when punching for that extra sound and effect, I know it was the proper way to train a guy right up to the 90s then it died off?

It looked really obvious and the fans picked up on it.

So...is Kharma really done with WWE?  

Yes, she stated as much on Twitter. She is gone from WWE.
