Did Paul Heyman start booking ECW with the show The Night the Line was Crossed?

No, he booked it but that event took place in February 1994.  Heyman started officially as ECW booker in October 1993.

Don’t you think Cody just gave away the leverage for he and the Young Bucks?   Kenny Omega has said he loves living in Japan and will never go to the WWE.  The bucks and Cody don’t want to move to japan and they are basically committed to Roh with less of a chance of big money.  Vince isn’t likely to negotiate them if he knows that they won’t sign even if they are given Main event level money.  Thoughts?  

I don't think Cody gave anything away.  The next move could be for all of them to remain with ROH and New Japan.  He just said they are all going to make the decision together and stay commited to each other, which, if that actually happens, is pretty damn rare for pro wrestling,

Whilst I’m aware that wrestling isn’t real and that logic and wrestling don’t really go hand-in-hand, a couple of recent Impact moments stretch credulity somewhat.  During the LAX / OGZ fight in the stairwell of the arena a “security guard” was picked by Homicide and slammed against a wall.  Also, Sami Callahan and his OVE cronies attacked a man in a public urinal and forcibly shaved his head.  No comeback has been seen for either of these actions despite them clearly being against the law.  How far do you think wrestling should or can go with this sort of behaviour?

I don't think it matters because the idea is the heels don't care about anything because they are pieces of garbage.  Terrible acts go unpunished in movies and TV all the time.  Why should wrestling be any different?  You have to suspend your disbelief sometimes. Wrestling should go as far as it can, as long as its still getting over the characters and the audience buys it.

Kevin Owens and Alexa Bliss, week-in, week-out, two of the hardest workers and best all-round performers on the main roster, both totally squashed in lightning quick matches at one of the year's biggest shows, while their opponents delivered cheesy, comedic dialogue to put the exclamation point on them being weak, pathetic, ineffective losers. Am I the only one who finds this a little depressing? 

It sucks if you are their fans, but they were featured and they are getting paid and it beats sitting backstage at catering.  Their job at Summerslam were to make Braun and Ronda look like killer stars and they did their job.  Not everyone gets to be the World Champion or the top star on the same night.  Owens has signed a long term deal, so I think we'll see him get his due.  Alexa is wrestling Trish Stratus.  They aren't being put out to pasture.
