Who put out a less desirable product in 1995, WWE or WCW?

Man, they both were pretty bad. There was a lot of Hogan in WCW. The Giant went off of the roof of Cobo Hall and lived to tell about it. We had the run of Diesel in WWF. Man, that is hard. I guess I will go with WCW, but I won’t argue if you disagree.

Do you think Brock Lesnar has been overbooked to be too strong... to the point where it doesn't look like anybody could stand toe to toe with him?  I'm not talking about the opponent getting a few lucky shots after being suplexed to near-death, I'd like to see someone on the roster who looks like they could give Brock a run for his money in a match... especially now that Brock is a face.  Do you see anyone Right now that, if book properly, looks like he could take Lesnar?  I think maybe Sheamus, or maybe Kevin Owens myself.

I am fine with it so far because it has all made sense, especially with what he did to John Cena. And sure, there are guys who can go toe-to-toe with him and when they actually win, it will mean a lot and should elevate them.

Can you please explain to us how VKM thinks that the audience wants to see Cena v Rollins at Summerslam, particularly given his habit of putting Cena over new talent? Also, do you think that if Cena was to win, he'd get a reaction similar to Reigns at the Royal Rumble? Thanks again for all he hard work, love the site.

He is making it the WrestleMania of the summer so he wants his big guns in meaningful spots. And there are a lot of fans that do like Cena and want to see him in the Title picture. Conversely, when I see lower audience numbers for Raw, it tells me that there also fans that don’t want to see Cena on top and they are tuning out. If Cena wins, I think there will be noticeable boos from the crowd in NY as there are a good number of “smart” fans there.

On Tough Enough, they had Tamina hit a body slam and a top rope splash onto each female contestant. After each, they picked up the female, with each shaking it off like it was nothing. However, during a real match, this is a finisher and a real diva would be knocked out from it. Was doing this a bad idea because it exposes the business so much more? Previously they had Big Show slap the men but that was actually a real hit.

It depends on how you look at it. If the goal is to show how it’s done, then it really doesn’t matter as people will know they are watching a performance. For the people that want to think it’s real, well yes it will blow up their illusions.

Do you think Hulk Hogan will man up and admit he said what he said in a moment of weakness and frustration or will he continues to blame others for what he said?

I honestly don’t know. For his sake, I hope he takes the necessary steps to get back in the public’s good graces. America is a very forgiving place, but they only forgive if you show acts of contrition, admit you are wrong and don’t make excuses. If Hogan were to do that, he could get past all of this.
