WOULD TKO BRING VINCE BACK FOR APPEARANCES POST-LAWSUITS, RAREST WWE DVDS, THE OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM AND MORE

Since all signs are pointing to another settlement between Vince McMahon and Janel Grant in arbitration where neither side admits fault, do you see Vince eventually appearing in WWE. Not in an executive capacity, but maybe signing something similar to a legends deal and possibly a hall of fame induction? Or will the controversy be too much bad PR? I mean, I thought Brock wouldn't be back after his name was mentioned in the case and here he is about to get the big send off at Summerslam.

There's always a chance.  I don't think TKO will care about the PR once the lawsuit is settled and put to bed....unless advertisers and sponsors voice concerns.  Obviously, they did not for Brock.

When someone like Abyss would get slammed on tacks, broken glass, or barbed wire, were the aforementioned all 100% real, all 100% legit? If so, isn't that a bit risky? Same goes for when Mankind went through tacks back in the day, isn't that like playing with fire? What if, a piece of glass gets in your eye? What if, you get stabbed from a piece of glass?

It depends on the situation. In some cases, there are props that are used to make it easier for the talents taking the brunt of the punishment, but even with those props, there are injuries. Back at the 2000 Royal Rumble, Triple H ended up with puncture wounds from a prop barbed wire bat, as opposed to the real thing. In many of the instances you are referring, the actual items were used. It's very dangerous, which is why those type of bumps should be used sparingly, not that they really are anymore.

Does WWE have ownership of the old WCW mascot, Wildcat Willie?

I would think so.  I don't see them using the character, but why they don't have him, The Bunny, The Gobbley Gooker, etc. wandering around fan events, I don't know.

Whatever happened to the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles?

The property was sold to a Korean religious organization that now uses it as a church. It was still standing last time I was in Los Angeles.

What were the rarest WWE DVDs?

The two that I seem to recall were The Raw Homecoming, which was only available via Wal-Mart with purchase of a Wrestlemania DVD and a rare FYE version of a Trish Stratus DVD that was only released as a small print run.
