KOFI IN THE IC LADDER MATCH, PUNK AT THE WWE HALL OF FAME?, CLASSIC PROMOTIONS AT AXXESS AND MORE

Why isn’t Kofi Kingston in the Intercontinental Title ladder match at Mania? I thought he was a perennial favorite in those types of matches due to his ability to take great bumps.

It would have made sense to include him, but given that he's being pushed (well, in theory) as part of a tag team, he's involved in that storyline instead.

What are the odds CM Punk accompanies AJ Lee to the WWE Hall of Fame this weekend?

I don't think they are very good. Even if Punk wanted to ignore his personal issues with the company and just go hang out with his wife, I don't see WWE wanting him there. Their employee is currently suing Punk and I don't think the company would want the two to cross paths.

Do you think WWE would ever vote a match into the WWE Hall of Fame, such as Savage vs. Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3 or Undertaker vs. Michaels at Mania 25?

I don't know that they would, but as time goes on and they need to get creative, it's certainly an idea. If they ever open a physical Hall of Fame, it would be a nice way to spotlight some classic matches from over the years.

Did TNA miss an opportunity not running this weekend?

I don't think so. Let's face it. The company has never had less of a buzz and is still in a rebuilding mode. Running against a number of smaller shows that would have drawn better than TNA wouldn't have been the best strategic move.

I had an idea for WWE. What if for the different AXXESS Sessions, they had themes of older wrestling companies as part of the attractions - for example, they could have an ECW booth with older stars and memorabilia, an AWA booth, etc. It would be a nice way to showcase some of the older talents, and some of the history that is seen on the WWE Network.

I like that idea. Hopefully someone in WWE is paying attention.
