Do you think that the WWE officials not letting Daniel Bryan wrestle anymore due to his health is just a convenient excuse, because they don't and didn't want to push him? I mean they didn't want to give him the World Title, but had to because he was so over. I'm not cynical enough to think this would be the sole reason, but do you think there might be some truth to it?
No, there is no truth at all to it. I know a lot of conspiracy theorists think that is the case but it’s not. In fact, WWE is super serious about concussions. They have had meetings with the talent in the last few weeks stressing how important it is to notify the company right away if they feel they have suffered one. They are supposed to do that even if they are in the middle of an important televised match and the referees and opponents are supposed to be watching for them as well. The company feels that since they tell stories, they can make sense of what happened later on. They have made it extremely clear that the health of the talent is paramount and they are extremely serious about concussions and following the protocol. It’s unfortunate that Bryan got caught up in it, but they are doing what they can to keep him as healthy as possible.
Is there an address where we can send Get Well cards to Ric Flair?
One has not been released yet as he is still in serious condition. As soon as we have that information we will share it on the site.
OK you knew this question was bound to be asked. With Jim Cornette back in GFW, how long before Vince Russo shows back up?
Hopefully no one ever gives him the chance to book or appear again. Russo had a nice run and all but his fifteen minutes of fame were up years ago. Plus, since Cornette is working their first, I would hope that the “order of protection” that Russo took out against Cornette will make it impossible for Russo to be in the same place as Cornette. Maybe Cornette can seek his own counter order against Russo just to make sure Vince stays away. If Russo ever did come back Cornette would be out the door immediately. He would never work with Russo, unless maybe Vince agreed to a shoot fight.
GFW traded Jim Cornette for Bruce Prichard. Do you see that as a positive?
With all due respect to Bruce, yes I do. Bruce has had a good long career in the business but Cornette is a legendary talker and I think he makes things more interesting when he is around. Plus Impact had too many on screen authority figures. I hope this leads to the end of that.
How dumb is Baron Corbin? Jinder Mahal was laying out flat. Corbin walks away, up the aisle, then realizes he has the case, and then goes back to use it. But by then, Mahal had recovered enough to put up some resistance. And so he is out of the deal. So where do you think that leaves Corbin? Where do you think Creative will take him?
First off, Corbin is a smart guy. He did what he was booked to do and I know you know that but others have written me as if he made the choice himself. As I said in the Tip Sheet, we shall see tonight if he was booked to be a moron, or if he will use that to get a huge win over John Cena and maybe even follow him over to Raw. We will know more in a day or two.
