Any Bray Wyatt updates?  Is this a Vince McMahon thing?  Is he being held for Summerslam?

In asking around before I wrote this Q&A, I was told there there are no imminent plans for Bray Wyatt and he is NOT slated for Summerslam next week.  We are told this isn't a Vince McMahon edict.  The belief among some is that he's waiting to be medically cleared to return to the ring.  We have heard zero timetable for that, unfortunately. 

I noticed AEW doesn't have a Collision taping for the night before All In.  Any insight?

My best educated guess is that they will air a pre-taped Collision that night.  Given the logistics of getting everyone to London, it makes a lot more sense to tape it the week before and air it on a seven day delay.

Why are so many main roster stars on WWE NXT now?

The idea is to get the ratings up as the series comes closer to its media rights expiring with the USA Network plus helping to try and position NXT on a level closer to Raw and Smackdown.  It's a work in progress with Judgment Day especially helping in that regard.

Any updates on R-Truth?

We reported a few weeks ago that he was spotted in Alabama working towards getting cleared.  My guess is we'll hear he's at the WWE PC sooner than later.

Who should write a wrestling book?

You!  I'd like to see Kevin Nash put pen to paper actually.

Can you explain to me why back when TNA held Hardcore Justice, Dave Meltzer was sh**ting on Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven and all the blood on PPV but now that AEW does blood on TV all the time, he says nothing???

I cannot.  I advise you following the trail of stars he twirls in the night sky until you find Meltzer Mountain and ask him yourself.  I had zero problem with the blood then since it was meant to be the blowoff to a "lifelong ECW feud" and I don't have problems with AEW or anyone else using blood for drama and big moments.    If he said one thing then and another now, that's an issue for you to take up with him, not me.
