With the new Divas revolution, where does Natalya stand? Haven't seen her in a while.

Right now, on the outside looking in. Given her husband, Tyson Kidd’s, recovery from major surgery, that is understandable. Frankly, it wouldn’t matter if she were back. The “Divas Revolution” has petered out pretty quickly. WWE needs to fix it in a hurry before they worry about adding more wrestlers to it.

Personally, I’ve found Jon Stewart to be quite a breath of fresh air on WWE tv, as he’s retired from the daily show, would Vince consider signing him up as a non-wrestling character? Hell, I would definitely rather Jon welcoming me Monday night Raw than Michael Cole any day!

I am sure Vince would do it in a second if Stewart were interested. I don’t see any possibility where Stewart would do it however. For one thing, it would be a step backward for him (and that isn’t taking a shot at WWE, Stewart is a major name). But more than that, the schedule is something he would want no part of. One reason why he left The Daily Show was to spend more time with his family.

So…another turn for Big Show? Jeez! He used to be with, and aligned with, The Authority; what happened there?

It’s sad what they do with him now. My best guess is they are trying to get him some support to stop the chants calling for his retirement. Then again, they have turned him so many times, with no valid reason, I may be just looking for something that’s not there.

Does it bode well for the young guys in WWE that we seem to be heading towards Sting and the Dudley Boyz getting title matches at Night of Champions?  I'm not complaining about it, because I think it could be pretty good. But the question is why would three older guys who have wrestled a combined two matches in ten years in WWE be getting title matches in place of Cesaro, the PTP, Ziggler, etc? Thanks!

People need to accept the fact that while TV Rights Fees are the number one revenue source in WWE, keeping people subscribed to The WWE Network is the company’s top priority and they do what they think they need to do to make that happen. Let’s face it, after SummerSlam Night Of Champions is a harder sell, so I have no problem bringing Sting in for the Title shot. And if the Dudleys get one as well, works for me. It’s new and fresh, and in theory that should keep people subscribing.

Since NXT Takeover Brooklyn was a success before Summerslam, should WWE make this an annual thing like Hall of Fame and WrestleMania?

If you mean a show specially in Brooklyn, I don’t see a need for that. If you mean making NXT a part of SummerSlam and Mania, absolutely. I definitely see that continuing, as well as the brand seeing if it can fill bigger buildings outside of NY. The brand is growing and WWE would be foolish to not maximize its potential and garner the revenue that comes with it. I don’t think it’s time to do a Takeover every PPV weekend but I would love to see them add one on Rumble and Survivor Series weekend, to go with the two they did this year at Mania and SummerSlam.
