WHEN YOU WONDER WHY “THEY” DO THINGS IN WWE REMEMBER IT’S ONLY “HE”, WHERE WOULD WWE BE WITHOUT ERIC BISCHOFF, BRINGING BACK THE AUTHORITY AND MORE

I know chances of WWE doing this are slim to none, but do you think an acceptable way of John Cena bringing back The Authority would be this, an "I Quit" with between Cena and Rollins where Rollins goes over and forces Cena to say "bring them back" to win it?

Cena has beaten Rollins like a government mule. What would be his motivation for agreeing to that stipulation? He has nothing to “get back” from Rollins. He has owned him. So I don’t see how you set that up given the recent booking.

Let's say Bischoff was never made producer of WCW and Turner never challenged WWF (no attitude area), where do you think wrestling would have gone in the late 90's and then today?

I don’t think you would have ever seen the Attitude Era. The only reason Vince McMahon went outside of his comfort zone back then was because he was losing the war to WCW and he had to try things he wouldn’t have tried otherwise. So I think you would the WWF largely stay the way it was before the Attitude Era started from an overall direction standpoint. I do think at some point they would have gone to more first run type matches on Raw, because the medium would have demanded it, but you never know.

Probably the dumbest question ever.....but here goes...I've enjoyed your site for quite a while and usually access it via my iPhone. I have it saved as an app......got and iPad for Christmas, and have been combing through the AppStore and can't find it to add on to that device, all of my other apps carried over via the Cloud....any ideas where I can find it?

And you won’t, we don’t have an app for Apple products. You probably saved a link to the site on your home screen of your phone. Due to the fact that we have our Elite site behind a pay wall, Apple wouldn’t approve the app. Honestly, apps don’t pay anywhere near what regular advertising does so we are in no hurry to add one anyway. Mike and I do this full time and we need to generate revenue to pay the bills.

A few weeks ago Ziggler finally beat Rollins clean (without DQ, count out etc.). What a waste that was for RAW. Considering this was one of the few matches they had some knowledge of past resorts and Cole made this clear, surely this could have been used for a big feud angle and a PPV match? They have great chemistry and put on fantastic matches. Briefcase vs IC title could be a great way to have built these two guys up! Why do they waste so many potential good feuds? Rhodes vs Sandow, Rowan vs Harper?

Sure, it could be a great feud and could actually mean something if they didn’t book Rollins to get killed by John Cena over the last month. And honestly, when people ask why “they” do things, I wonder if they pat attention to the lay of the land. It’s not “they”. It’s HE, as in Vince McMahon. He IS the creative direction of WWE. Pretty much everything you see from a creative standpoint is HIS decision. There is no they here.

I'm confused. In what universe do you build up Rusev by tearing down Ryback?  By the booking, it seems that Rusev is becoming nothing more than a meatier version of Seth Rollins. And this is what they think is best for business? Two cowards at the front?

That is easy, The WWE Universe. Like I said above, I feel you. For whatever reason, Vince McMahon wants to book most of his heels as cowards that like to run away. I don’t get it either. To me, evenly matched guys make a bout more exciting but Vince doesn’t agree right now.
