RVD RETURNING, WHY JERICHO HASN'T SIGNED A NEW WWE DEAL, WCW SPRAYPAINTING TITLES AND MORE

Why WWE is not providing Chris Jericho a long term commitment?

Jericho doesn't want to be signed to one. He has outside interests and wants to pursue those. Being signed to WWE means you are giving them your entire professional life (and pretty much your personal one as well).

I have been a long time fan of the site. Thank you for keeping it real. I was wondering - during nwo times why only the world title got painted with nwo letters and not tag titles for instance held by outsiders?

My guess is that since the Tag Team belts didn't hold the same "value" as the World title, WCW didn't want to do it. WCW really de-emphasized teams as the Nitro era took hold, so I'm not really surprised.

What do you think about bringing RVD back to WWE for an intercontinental title or US Title reign, I mean its all about bringing back the prestige to both the titles. Just think about what a match it would be with Daniel Bryan, so what do you think about this?

I don't think Rob needs to win those belts to give them prestige. Daniel Bryan and John Cena holding them do that. As far as Rob coming back just to lose, I think Van Dam is at the point he doesn't want to return until there's a big plan for him.

You wrote George South and David Isley were The Cruel Connection. Why would they wrestle under hoods when they were well known?

Actually, yesterday, I wrote it was George South and Gary Royal. Two reasons - they were told to do it by the booker and they got paid to wrestle multiple times on TV tapings.

Any word on when Charlotte is coming up?

It's been discussed but we haven't heard any definitive word as to when.
