WHAT BRAUN STROWMAN MEANS FOR THE WYATTS, TAKER-BROCK, CESARO'S FUTURE AND MORE

As far as the question regarding goes with supposed real life issues between Undertaker and Brock Lesnar - could what Undertaker said at the UFC event that time Brock lost his title be issues between the two given that when it was Brock's time to start putting over up-and-coming stars that his flat out refusal to do so was part of the Taker's beef with Lesnar at the time? After all, as a veteran the Undertaker did his fair share of putting Lesnar over. Its been perceived that when it was Brock's turn to give others the "rub" he refused and decided wrestling wasn't his thing. Its about that time he decided his new passion would be playing football in the NFL...then MMA...it just seems very likely that Undertaker (as the locker room leader) took offense with Brock's refusal to "do business" with younger stars in an attempt to make them stars. I could be wrong but that is how I have understood "the beef" between the two men.

I don't believe so. There had been a lot of time that had passed and if that was the case, I don't think you can make a case that Brock has put anyone over and made them since he returned, either.

What do you think the fate of Braun Strowman will be? He reminds me of Great Khali. He's all big and menacing and Roman Reigns is powerless against him but I mean, whatcha gonna do? If he really is that unstoppable he could, technically, just steamroll through everyone and grab the title. I guess eventually Roman and Dean will get some help against the Wyatts and will somehow find a way to beat them. Sort of like Reigns vs Big Show, let's just hope they leave out the retelling of fairytales this time?

It's going to take time before we can see what his fate will be. Perhaps he's going to be the personality that lights a match under the Wyatt Family and they finally become the all out brutal heel force that they have the ability and potential to be yet are never booked to be. We don't know yet.

What kind of audience did Impact get in the FSN days? Did the show and company do better then than on DA?

We never received any real concrete numbers, partially because the show was not on Fox Sports nationally. It purchased time on FOX Sports and was syndicated across it's different markets.

Was the ROH event on Saturday 8/22 as good as NXT Takeover: Brooklyn?

I watched the show via VOD over the weekend and it was a good, solid, fun show but it lacked the emotional impact of Bayley vs. Sasha.

After the Sheamus and Randy Orton feud is over, whom should Randy Orton feud with?

I like the idea of Kevin Owens.

Do you believe Cesaro will ever be considered a main event talent in the eyes of Vince or just a mid-card talent?

I can't tell you what Vince McMahon will see in him, because Vince's whims change by the week, sometimes sooner but I have to believe that it's getting harder and harder to deny Cesaro's great work and the momentum he's been getting from the audience in recent weeks.
