I was watching a Bruno match earlier this morning and now I’m listening to a Billy Joel concert from MSG.  I’ve read that Rangers and Knicks tickets are really expensive, too.  Is it possible for anyone to make money playing the Garden?  I would assume that Billy Joel wouldn’t do anything that didn’t earn a profit at this point in his career. 

You assume correctly. Many events make the artist money in MSG or they wouldn't be running there.  They just need to draw a good crowd, that's all.

So last year's Hall of Fame was solely picked by Hunter. Are we absolutely sure about that? Vince has no say so about who goes in now? Or does he still have the ear of his son in law? 

Vince has no power in WWE now. Paul Levesque is the head of creative and doesn’t take any orders from his father-in-law. Vince is out.

Sorry but I have to ask - does Pac own any clothes other than his wrestling trunks? Should he be asking Tony Khan for a raise so he can afford some? He is the only wrestler who is always in his gear even when outside of the ring.

I would assume he must. I can’t see him getting on a plane in his wrestling gear but your point is well taken!

Is it just me or are they setting up Cody to become a monster heel in the future? Most of his actions and mannerisms are of a heel. He wears the $5000 suits, has the tour bus, his mannerisms and the way he speaks are heelish. It seems that it is just a matter of time when they need to spice up the Bloodline story and have Cody turn heel on Roman. 

I don’t see it that way at all. To me, he is the ultimate babyface. Down the line, who knows, but I don’t see anything he is doing now as being heel-like.

Do you have any idea what purpose Paul Ellering serves? It’s been a long time since he wrestled, and he’s not even serving the same role as he did with The Road Warriors. Kross is the mouthpiece for the faction. Is this just Triple H giving him a payday in recognition of past work?

He isn’t a very important part of WWE, that’s true. But if the company wants to give him a payday, I am OK with that.

Chris H sent the following in response to a question from last Wednesday.  I appreciate it since I never watch replays. I record shows on YouTubeTV and watch them there.

Someone asked a question today about the situation with NXT episodes, Peacock, and The CW.  While it's true that Peacock removed all of the past NXT episodes, it wasn't because The CW picked up the rights.  The CW app/website is carrying NXT episodes that aired on The CW but none of the older episodes that got removed from Peacock, meaning, right now, U.S. viewers no longer have an official source for old NXT. This hasn't affected WWE Network, though, as it still has all of the older episodes and is still adding the newest episode on Wednesday nights.
