Is it me or has there been a complete tonal shift in the Total Bellas series?  It is far more serious and less well, stupid, in my mind.

I would agree with that.  There's been some pretty frank discussion and coverage of marital and personal issues for Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan that certainly do not come off as scripted.  The storyline with Nikki and Artem seems far more rooted in reality than some of the stuff that has popped up on WWE reality series as well.

Was there ever any talk of a WWE theme park ride?

I am sure that if we dig deep, there were probably pitches for ride concepts at Universal Studios over the years, but I have never heard of anything that came close to conception.   In 2000, however, there was an Undertaker themed haunted house at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.  While this wouldn't be a theme park ride, there was talk at times of doing a walk-through WWE Hall of Fame attraction similar to a Lucille Ball attraction that was hosted at Universal.

I heard rumors that there was  WWE animated series planned for Rey Mysterio?  Could they bring it back?

There was.  There were plans for a concept titled Hanging' in the 619 that would have cast Rey, Chavo Guerrero and other WWE characters as school children.  It never got past the pitch phase and I don't believe any animation was ever created, but the idea did exist.  WWE certainly could bring the idea back.

Have you heard anything about a new season for Camp WWE?

I have not, as of this writing.

Is there any ECW content left for WWE on the WWE Network?

I assume you mean to be added.  Sure, there are lots of complete events that aren't on there as well as raw footage or events that were never released in complete form.  WWE could put together lots of content if they chose to do so.

Why do you think there's so little SMW on the WWE Network?  Is it because Jim Cornette is so controversial on his podcast?

My guess is they just haven't put the content up.  They own the SMW library and I don't think Cornette is a factor in when or how they roll it out.  They can only put up so much at a time and they have rolled out vintage content in a much smaller way (with far less hours per vintage content drop) in recent months.
