At 50 years old, is Kane back for one last run?  Will he be back part time or full time?  Where do you go with him booking-wise after TLC?

He is booked through Survivor Series last I heard.  He is still running for Mayor of Knox County, TN so he will be part time.  As I type this on Monday morning, it sure looks like he has a face off with Braun Strowman in his future.

How can Chris Jericho be allowed to book a ROH show, as well as having Raven and others for his cruise deal when if Jimmy Jacobs takes a single photo with the Bullet Club he gets fired?

Jacobs works for WWE.  Jericho doesn’t.  He is a free agent that comes and goes, so he has the right to do things outside of WWE.  Jacobs was an employee and doesn’t have those same freedoms.

To me, it doesn't look good for Braun Strowman. They could do so much with him, but aren't. Now the latest with Kane returning to help him win the match with RR. Why would BS need help? It seems to take a lot of air out of the balloon, or am I just not getting it?

I like that you wrote BS for Braun because bringing Kane back felt like BS to me when it happened on Raw.  I don’t get it either.  It was totally unneeded to add him to the match.  It actually made me care less, not more.  The one good thing about Reigns getting sick was that at least they get another chance to do The Shield reunion.  Hopefully they will do it the right way.  They sure messed it up by making the TLC match a 5 on 3.  As for Braun, I agree.  Having him lose to one measly F5 in his match with Brock Lesnar was a huge mistake.  WWE booking keeps making those.  The fans want new, fresh talents to believe in and WWE just won’t give them to us.

Hey Dave, I wanted to continue the recent threads on potential sale of WWE.  Since WWE is a public company, if a company came and gave them an offer much above their current market capitalization (~$1.75 billion) they would almost have to accept for sake of the shareholders.  I get Vince and family are majority shareholders, but if they're offered something much above the current value of the company the board and shareholders can force them into a sale even as minority interest.  I haven't seen this discussed anywhere, what am I missing?

Let’s see if an offer that large comes along first.  I think if someone came in with a four billion dollar number, the odds are really good that the McMahons would take it.

I saw the Impact One Night Only PPV pictures on the site.  Was the crowd that bad for the entire show?

From what we were told, yes it was.  We heard the number of fans for the show was 161.  It says a lot about the drawing power of Impact, or lack thereof.
