TKO DROPPED THE BALL WITH MGM GRAND, A MUCH BETTER ALTERNATIVE WAS ON THE PROPERTY, WHEN IS A DQ NOT A DQ AND MORE

Conspiracy theory, was Brock pushed into retirement due to the recent allegations in the Grant case?

Man, that is a weak ass conspiracy you came up with.  If WWE was pushing him into retirement for that reason, they would have never brought him back in the first place.  They would have just kept the distance with him that they already had in place.

In previous years WWE has locked down a hotel in a Wrestlemania town so fans can't get at the talent so was there a reason that WWE booked talent at hotel that could not be locked down? It's not like they booked a Vegas wrestlemania last minute? 

I think it’s part of the growing pains of TKO owning the company and not fully understanding the business (as we saw with them forcing Pat McAfee into the Cody Rhodes-Randy Orton feud).  With that said, even after booking a really bad choice in MGM Grand, due to its size and congested nature, they could have saved the situation by bringing talents in through the back of house and using service elevators instead of exposing them to the unwashed masses.  It was an epic fail on TKO’s part.

I want to take a look at security for WWE Wrestlers from a different perspective. I know there aren't too many of these in Vegas, but isn't there a resort-like hotel that doesn't have a casino that so many people would be walking through? It was stupid of WWE to select the MGM Grand. I know it was close to all the events sites, but maybe staying south of the strip would've been better?

There are indeed.  In fact, attached to the MGM Grand, at the back of the property, is The Signature.  It has no casino, no fan traffic and would have been a much better choice for the talent.  As I said above, TKO really dropped the ball here.  My guess is that they got MGM on the cheap and went with it.

Just finished watching the main event of WrestleMania night 2. When Roman smashed Punk with the steel steps, why there was no disqualification?

By that point, the ref had “allowed a lot of leeway due to the importance of the match and its deeply personal nature”.  The mindset is that no one wanted the match to end in a DQ so the ref allowed it.  It’s a worked sport so those things happen.
