Is the Impact Grand championship in impact a throw away now? Sydal gave it to Josh, but defended it and lost it to Aries.  I'm assuming it will just be absorbed at some point?

My belief is that was the beginning of the Grand championship disappearing. 

With promotions that tape weeks or months out, are those champions not required to carry their titles outside of taking how was champs always have possession? Wondering because if a title change happens at a pretape having the new champ carry it would spoil it beyond people at the takings anyways.

It depends on the promotion and the situation.  In some cases, the new champions carry the belts and an announcement is made at the live events.  In other cases, the spoiler of the title change is hidden and the live events are presented as if the events of the taping haven't occurred yet.  There's no rhyme or reason.

Another Stroman partner possibility. I never thought of Samoa Joe but would love for that to happen. However, any chance of it being The Big Show?

The Big Show is currently out with a hip injury, but it's a possibility.

Hi guys. I've been seeing a lot of rumors online that Roman Reigns could be in trouble due to some guy's documentary coming out that names him in steroid allegations. The rumors are that WWE hasn't made other plans for Braun Strowman in case theu decide to pull Roman from the Wrestlemania main event, and insert Braun instead. I haven't seen anything about this on the site so I was wondering what you know about this and if there's any truth to it whatsoever.

No truth that we can ascertain.  The "documentary" failed to come close to even linking Reigns to anything.  I wrote an entire column about it, which you can read by clicking here.  It was a lot of hype over nothing,  Roman was never in trouble.

Whatever happened to Col. DeBeers?

He is retired and living in the Pacific Northwest.  He's actually slated to make a convention appearance for Legends of the Ring in New Jersey this June.

I have tickets for a Tammy Sytch signing next month.  What do I do?

Ask for a refund.  She won't be there.
