What are the chances of Daniel Bryan working the Rumble?

I will say very, very low, for a few reasons. For one thing, they haven’t cleared him to wrestle yet and at this point, if they can clear him, the smart move would be to save his return for WrestleMania. They need all of the firepower that they can get for that show and Bryan’s return to action would be nice draw. But more importantly, they have to had learned their lesson from last year when they had him return at the Rumble and he didn’t win it.

Holy crap! Now Stephanie McMahon is slapping the piss out of non-wrestlers as well. And in a way that could cause concussion (which Reigns was lucky to not have happen to him). Surely they need to her stop doing this now?

She definitely put a beating on poor Tom Phillips. I am not worried about concussions, but rather that she is getting heat on people without getting hers in the end. If you have a heel dishing out punishment, they have to get theirs in the end or it makes no sense.

The problem I have with a team like Blake & Murphy is I have no idea which one is Blake and which one is Murphy.  Same goes for Dash & Dawson.  It doesn't help that they all have generic names and no sense of individuality.  If a Network subscriber and weekly NXT follower like me can't tell them apart, I think they will have some serious problems with many of the WWE fans not being able to tell them apart if called up to the main roster.  What do you think these teams should do in order to create more of a sense of individuality? 

I can’t say because I don’t have a problem telling them apart.

Lately, Dolph Ziggler has been using Shawn Michaels’ “tuning up the band” stomp (although I don’t recall him actually connecting his superkick with an opponent).  Did he do this on his own or is this something given to him by creative?

I can’t say who came up with the idea but it has definitely been cleared with Creative. That stuff is talked about in-depth.

How many (if any) of TNA's 1 million fans who have turned off since 2012 are as a direct result of Dixie Carter's heel tv character that hogged most shows including a graphic of her name during the THE world title ladder match between Hardy and Magnus?

Honestly, you would have ask each of them to know for sure. But what I think is fair to say is that as the owner of the company and the one who makes the decisions, the company’s shortcomings over the past few years are directly attributable to her.
