With Vince McMahon gone from WWE forever, do you think they could bring in Nailz for an appearance?

I would never assume McMahon is gone forever, but I don't see them ever bringing in Nailz when Paul Levesque, Vince's son-in-law is in charge of creative.  That said, if they wanted to and hit the right payday, I am sure Nailz would do it.

What was the point of WWE bringing back Zack Ryder if they aren't going to push him?

Well, to be fair, they use him about as well as they did in the past.  As far as why bring him back, he's a good talent and you can always use versatile performers on your undercard.  I would like to see him used a little more prominently, but thus far, it hasn't happened.

Why do you think we haven't seen a WWE or AEW wedding in recent years?

Creative hasn't come up with characters that such a scenario would suit, as of this writing.  I'm surprised WWE hasn't gone for that sort of thing to pop a rating.  Now that I've answered this question, watch everyone rush to put on a wedding on their programming.

Do you think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were ripping off Macho Man and Elizabeth by getting married in Madison Square Garden?

That's funny, but I am guessing Swift has zero idea there was a WWF wedding when she was pretty much a baby, in MSG.

What is Tommy Dreamer doing since he left TNA?

Wrestling and SiriusXM's Busted Open.

I'm watching the Death of WCW and there's a denial that the Finger Poke of Doom helped spur on the death of the company.  Thoughts on those who deny it hurt the company?

The reality is that after that angle, WCW lost a ton of ground. It may not have been the nail in the coffin of the company but for anyone to deny it eroded their ratings terribly is certainly putting their head in the sand. It didn't kill the company, but certainly, it damaged it.  AOL and Time Warner merging killed the company, but the reality is that had WCW not been damaged so badly by so many factors, including bloated talent contracts, terrible creative and erosion of ratings, someone would have been interested in buying it and perhaps even WWE might have been able to make a go with a relaunch of the brand. The selling of the company killed it, but the stench of all the awful things over the last few years terribly overpowered all the good that proceeded it kill the compan  Did they kill WCW with the fingerpoke? No, but they did hurt it.  No one is completely blameless in that scenario.
