Am I the only who thinks creative made Strowman look really stupid for handing his briefcase over to Corbin when a week after he does that he would have had the easiest title win in history after the whole roster destroyed the shield.

You are obviously not an Elite member.  If you were, you would know that many of us here at the site have said the exact same thing.

I know you get questions all the time about WWE's main roster compared to NXT.  I read excerpts from a podcast with Steve Austin and Sean Waltman were they discussed how they think (like many of us) that NXT is better.  How the storylines are simpler and easier to understand while the main roster storylines are often too convoluted and it's basically a variety show.  Is that really the problem though?  I get what they're saying, but I think the problem with the main roster is just a lot of it isn't good.  I'd be fine with what they do if it was better.  There's no reason Vince couldn't have his variety show, but with better quality wrestling and storylines.  Do you agree?

I couldn’t disagree with you more.  The level of talent on the main roster is excellent.  I don’t see how you can say “a lot of it isn’t good” especially when most of the talent had great matches when they were in NXT.  No, the problem is the booking and storytelling, that simple.

If you could book a triple main event, with 3 matches containing Wrestlers past and present in their prime (say for a Wrestlemania) what would they be? I’d go HBK vs Rock. Bret vs Angle and Austin vs Hulk Hogan.

You also must not be an Elite member.  If you were, you would know that I hate fantasy booking.  I don’t see the point in it.

So since intergender matches won't work in WWE and men can't hit women, do you think in the name of fairness and equity that they should stop allowing women to slap men. Especially if the man doesn't have a female companion who can stand up for them in that scenario?

You make a good point.  I have said for years that I hate Stephanie getting heel heat on the male wrestlers because unlike when her father did it, she will never get her comeuppance because the men can’t strike here.  I can see instances where they can get away with it, like Maryse slapping Daniel Bryan and then Brie getting her back.  But beyond that they should not use the practice.

It’s early but who do you see as the headliner for next year’s WWE Hall of Fame?

That is hard to say.  Is Undertaker ready to retire, or at least be inducted?  Would The Rock want to do it?  Big Show would be a decent fallback plan.  JBL would as well.
