Where do you think the first Raw on Netflix will be? Any chance they do Rock vs. Roman or Cody there? Cena vs. Rock?
The rumors have placed that first Netflix in Los Angeles, which makes sense if they want to have all the Netflix folks there and break bread with them. Rock and John Cena have already made it clear they would at the show, and certainly they will be on screen to help juice up the viewership of the first episode. Does WWE give away a Rock PPV quality match? I can see why they would, but I haven't heard that will happen. Rock cutting a long promo would be just as entertaining and useful to the premiere. Perhaps the thing to do would be to have a promo and an angle for a future Rock match on another episode down the line.
If you could bring back the Raw guest hosts for one week, who should host?
Godzilla, so I can see them try and pull THAT one off.
Which came first WCW Greed PPV or the last WCW Nitro?
The last Nitro was the final WCW event, ever. There may have been some secondary, pre-taped TV broadcasts, but the Nitro where Shane McMahon came out was the last event.
Whatever happened to Jason Jett from the latter days of WCW?
Jett was in WWE developmental for a bit but was later released. He was making tights for others for a long time after he left WWE, but I don't know that he's still doing it. Last I heard, he lived in the TN area.
What do you think of Tony Khan adding time onto the Lucha Brothers' contract as rumored?
If that is the case, I don't have a problem with it. One, everyone involved was an adult and knew what they were signing, so they can't get mad about it later. Two, it's something that WWE has (and still as recently as this year) has done and will still do. It's already the industry standard and will be unless the talents all protest it, which they never will in unison. If a promotion is paying someone while they are hurt, I can totally see why they want to get something back for that investment. I absolutely understand that perspective.
What do you make of different wrestling veterans on Twitter knocking the current day product?
Nothing really. That sort of stuff is forgotten pretty quickly by the masses and in most cases, the previous generation did the same thing to them, just in a different fashion because there was no social media. To me, pro wrestling is what an audience is willing to pay to see because they want to get caught up in the drama of it. It's malleable and changes depending on the talents, location, taste of fans, era, style, etc. There's a lot of stuff that I loved so much that I was willing to travel hours to see it, but I bet a lot of it doesn't hold up out of context now but the talents from that era would say what they did meant more and was better than what anyone does today in the ring. It's the nature of the beast. I think for most, whatever wrestling they fell in love with first is and always be best to them and you aren't going to get someone to change that opinion. For talents who made money and drew money, you can't tell them that something today works better because to them, it doesn't, because that's not how they made their money. All you can do is respect the differing opinions but I can't say I have any deep-seated interest in taking one side of the argument over the other.
