Lots of Roman Reigns rumors are circulating. What’s the reality of the situation?

Ah, online rumors, coming from people who just guess at things and put it out for all to see.  No need to guess though, Mike Johnson already covered this last week, before you sent your question.  You can get the scoop by clicking here.

What were they thinking with the gingerbread funeral? Why insult our intelligence? 

WWE has always done goofy stuff.  It’s hardly the first time.  At least this time they explained it.  Trick Williams said he was doing it to get into Sami Zayn’s head.  He knew it was all a work.  Now, you could asked why Nick Aldis, Joe Tessitore, etc. went along with it like it was real.  That is a valid question.

I am a little bothered in the way that Kairi Sane was released. Since she was in the middle of a developing situation with Asuka, my first thought would be to have them do a match on Monday and then release her after the fact. Do you know if any consideration was given to doing something like that to give the story a quick finish, or was there a particular reason it needed to be done on that day?

No one has explained it publicly but it’s pretty clear that WWE wanted to do as many of the releases in one shot as was possible.

Tyra Mae Steele was released after only a handful of televised matches on NXT, just like her fellow olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson.  Especially considering their elite athletic backgrounds, why would WWE release them so shortly into their NXT careers?  Sure they may have had a lot to work on, but WWE didn't even give them a chance, and gold medalists don't grow on trees.

Shawn Michaels has done a great job in developing talent in NXT.  His team has as well.  I trust them to know when someone has “it” or not.  Sure, someone can be an Elite athlete.  That doesn’t mean that they can become a pro wrestler.  They may find taking bumps to be something that they don’t want to do.  It could also be that their athletic ability doesn’t translate to pro wrestling.  

Are you aware that Green Lantern Schnoz is back to posting your Q and As on a message board and attacking you?  Would you consider taking legal action against him?

I have been told but I literally couldn’t care less what someone like him thinks.  I have met a lot of losers in my life, both in the real world and in the wrestling business, so I don’t worry about what an AARP eligible goof, who had to do a Go Fund Me because he didn't have the money to fix his wife’s car, says or thinks about me.  I guess I could take action against him but since his life is so miserable that he feels the need to take shots at me on a message board I will just let him have it.  Plus, what could I sue a guy for when he had to beg for money to fix his wife's car?  I mean seriously, I can’t make his life any more miserable than it is now.  God beat me to it.
