I foloow your news regularly. I appreciate your knowledge and insight. Question: Does ROH own and posess all of its video footage from its first shows in 2002 up to present? ROH video taped czillions of their own shows by now. But not all are available on their VOD section of the website. Do you konw if they share copyrights of past shows with DVD/VOD companies?

Ring of Honor owns all the rights and all the footage to every show they have run in the past 13 years. They haven't placed every single show up on VOD, but they own them. I am sure that as time goes on, they will continue to put additional older material up.

Were Vince's obscurity comments about Sting a work or shoot?

Vince McMahon is not going to work a storyline during a stockholders' conference call. Federal regulations would consider that an executive of a publicly traded company lying. Vince is a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them!

Why isn't "America The Beautiful" performed prior to WrestleMania anymore? Is it because of the online preshow? Thanks!

I don't know what you are talking about, because the song was performed at the start of Wrestlemania this past Sunday.

Are you guys aware of a fan that attended all WresleManias?

I am well aware of at least one in New York City who has not only attended every single Wrestlemania but has a streak going of the last 35 years of events at Madison Square Garden. It's entirely possible there are others.

Whatever happened to former WWE womens champion Ivory?

She's living in California and was at Wrestlemania over the weekend, brought in by WWE to sign at Wrestlemania AXXESS.

Why is WWE doing so many "one-named wrestlers" lately? Is there a reason they don't want Cesaro, Blake, Murphy, and Neville to have full names?

It's simply a creative choice, likely coming down from Vince McMahon himself in many of the cases.
