Hello. Always enjoy reading your site. Here is my question - WWE lets go of talent and then years later they are back and with main even push such as Jinder Mahal, Drew Mcentyre, etc. What is the thought process here? This must be a message to creative that shows how badly they use obvious talent to the point when they get let go, only for these guys to go and make a name for themselves and come back with a major push. Or is this a strategy by creative, when they realize they have destroyed the talent and let them go in hope of geting them back on the rebound later once they are reestablished elsewhere?
I think you have to look at each case individually. In some cases, the talent are booked badly and have gotten stale. In some cases, the talent is up too early and needs to mature. Most talents are told that the door is open for a return and in the case of Jinder and Drew, it was the truth, but it's not a strategy to let them free and bring them back.
This has to do with your answer regarding the Stone Cold Stunner not being used by others. I know and understand he has to give the rub for someone else to use it, like H did with Rollins, but help me out here: isn't the RKO, and DDP's finisher identical to the Stunner, or at least, almost? (same movement, same drop)
Yes, it's just the positioning of the move when it's executed that is different.
So, is GFW still a thing?
Technically, yes. Whether they run again remains to be seen, especially since so many in the braintrust are now working for Impact. Jeff Jarrett would literally have to start from scratch again.
What are the odds ROH is seen as the number two promotion?
I think you'd have to look at them as number two. Impact doesn't run events. They are a TV series, nothing more, right now. ROH is a touring entity. To me, that makes ROH a larger, more viable, more successful promotion.
Where's Don Muraco?
The last I heard, Muraco owned a surf shop in Hawaii.
