So with all due respect to the memory of Warrior because he was revolutionary as a character, but is it me or are people remembering him as a far better worker than he was?  He was exciting, yes, but his matches, with a couple of exceptions, were far from great.

I don’t know what people you are talking to. No one I talk to ever described him as a great worker. He was a great character and had a few great matches, but no one I ever talked to said he was a great worker in the Eddy Guerrero definition of the word.

I have to agree with you guys on the shot to the head. I'm young but even I was playing football we didn't know about the problems and played with concussions. I don't have problem with shots to the back but my question is how come CZW and other promotions still do them?

Frankly, they are completely irresponsible in my opinion and they don’t care about the health of the people working for them. Sadly, their is an audience that also doesn’t care about the people taking those shots to the head and they come to see guys do irreparable damage to themselves. I find it sad and pathetic.

Is ROH still going to be syndicated on the local channels even though they have a national TV deal now?

Yes, the show will air first in syndication over the weekend and then on Wednesday night on Destination America.

What is the logic behind Cena beating Rusev 3 straight times and then losing to Kevin Owens, essentially a rookie? Rusev needed the rub from Cena to get him credibility as a monster heel.  Yet Cena goes over him rather handily but loses to Owens. Can you help explain this bizarre booking?

I don’t mind Cena losing to Owens but I can’t explain why they did what they did with Rusev other than to say that Rusev must not have had anyone championing his cause backstage. I don’t see any logic in having him lose so decisively either.

Logic involved here so probably a stupid question.....When they include the 'if you don't win , you don't get your title shot, big match etc', why don't the heels just beat up on the guy who is the opponent...so for example when Roman Reigns was against Brat Wyatt on Raw, shouldn't the authority have laid out Wyatt, then Reigns would have been disqualified, and missed his MITB shot.

Yep, you are correct, logic has no place in many pro wrestling storylines. If the Authority wanted Reigns out, make him fight a 20 on 1 match, no way he would win. So yes, logic goes right out of the window in this business all the time.
