Ok so I’m a huge Kevin Owens fan (like so many people), and I like his promos these days, but...they are about Shane.  Are we really looking at a Owens vs Shane for Summerslam? Is it really the plan? So we’ll have another month of Shane on TV?? 

It sure looks that way.  And I think we may even get more than a month of Sweato Mac.  I am as sick of him as you are but his dad is not.  As long as that is the case, Moisture Man will remain prominently featured on WWE programming.

And speaking of unwanted superstars, what do the WWE wrestlers really think of Brock Lesnar? Does he have any friends in the locker room? 

Brock largely keeps to himself when he is at TV.  Obviously, he is tight with Paul Heyman.  I can't say if he has other friends there, or if he even wants them.  As for the talent, I have spoken to a number of them, off the record, and it's fair to say there is some resentment for Brock's contract and push.  You can't blame them.

It looks like WWE is pushing Kevin Owens like a Stone Cold type character. So how about this idea? I think we all are predicting Stone Cold to appear at the Raw Reunion and give a couple stunners but what if KO saved him? You could have Stone Cold about to get attacked by Shane’s group or really anyone and have KO come down and save him. After you can have Stone Cold crack a couple beers and kind of pass the torch.

That would work for me.

Seeing the Undertaker still going strong (or revitalised even) I have one question.  What in the bloody hell was the point of the post match v Roman Reigns at WrestleMania?

The word making the rounds at the time was that it was a potential end of his career if he decided not to wrestle again.  Obviously, he decided against retiring!

I think I recall reading that AEW will give their wrestlers insurance and benefits? Is that still happening or is that bs? What's stopping a promotion from offering wrestlers that?

I can't say for sure.  I know Chris Jericho has said on his podcast that he is getting benefits. I believe the EVPs and other talents that do office work are as well.  What stops companies from giving benefits?  A few things.  One is the cost involved.  Insurance is very expensive.  The other thing is if you give someone benefits, you can no longer claim that they are independent contractors.

With Finn Balor dropping the IC title, does WWE finally put Balor with Styles, Anderson, & Gallows?  I personally feel that this would be an awesome moment.

I have wondered that too.  But the question then is do you turn Balor heel?  I could see it happening at some point, but it looks like he needs to deal with Bray Wyatt first.
