Regarding the recent dramatic loss in rating do you think that introducing a new championship belt could take care of that?

No sir. A Title belt doesn’t mean anything on its own. It is how it is presented and how the people vying for it are booked that determines whether it matters or not.

When looking at previous heel authority figures in WWE, they all have one thing in common. They were beatable. My question is is HHH not only booked to never get his comeuppance,  but do fans even believe whoever he goes against has a chance of winning?

That is a valid point. I mean, Stephanie McMahon even got tossed in the mud against Vickie Guerrero but Triple H never gets laid out by anyone. In fact, he is often presented as the baddest man in WWE. That is a dynamic that needs to change. It is harder to do with him than it was with Vince McMahon, since Vince was never an active wrestler and champion, but for the good of the stories, they really need to find a way to have HHH get laid out and “get his” from time to time, otherwise the story never has an ending, or at least a good ending.

My question is what kind of contract does Jerry Lawler have? He wrestles A LOT outside of WWE. And why does Vince give him that special treatment only?

He has an announcers’ deal which allows for that. Booker T runs a promotion so it’s not just Lawler. But in the King’s case, it was part of his deal ever since he went into announcing.

Is there any rhyme or reason you guy's have heard about the Titantron not showing a live feed most of the time on a show? It seems an easy way to kill off the crowds vibe if they can't see everything! TNA started doing the same when i went to the tapings in the UK last year, i just figured it was an issue with logistics and a budget cut.

WWE wants the fans watching the ring, not the Tron. It makes for a bad TV product if a lot of the fans are looking at the stage and not the ring.

I know the last several years a lot of people have wanted Survivor Series to return to all elimination matches.  I would love to see it.  Do you think is year with the title vacant it would be the perfect time to do so?  The event for a change would be refreshing, exciting and really make it different.  They could do 3-4 traditional elimination matches, and then bring back all the survivors for like a 6 pack challenge or 8 man or however many are left in some sort of elimination match to crown a new champ.

Personally, no. I am not a big fan of those matches and with so few storylines coming to the point where it makes sense, it would feel really random and forced. Back in the day, it was a novel idea but today it just feels tired to me.
