Thoughts on Grand Slam Australia and the “controversy” of it being a Collision taping as opposed to a PPV/bigger event? Unfortunately, this show was seemingly plagued from the day it was announced.

I think it perfectly illustrates the chaotic way that AEW is run by Tony Khan.  Instead of making things clear from the get go, Khan just put the show out there and let people make assumptions.  That is what he does on a regular basis.  He is a great example of someone who is reactive rather than proactive.

I don't understand the logic in making Grand Slam Australia a Collision episode that won't be shown till 10 maybe 1030 eastern time? Why not show this on a different weekend in its normal time slot or better yet make it a Dynamite?

As I said above, that’s Tony Khan doing Tony Khan things.  It’s a shame. AEW has so much potential but it’s held back by Khan.

Which Hall of Fame will Cyndi Lauper to into first?

Well, I would think that she could be in the WWE Hall by now if she wanted it so I will go with Rock and Roll.  She deserves both.

Conspiracy Theory: I know that Jey Uso winning was shocking to say the least but it got me thinking. Was Jey Uso winning a way to protect the WWE Championship scene with Cody Rhodes in case The Rock calls an audible? John Cena or Roman Reigns would almost mean they face Cody. If The Rock came back for WrestleMania, that would disrupt plans again, especially if The Rock wanted to face Cody.  So could Jey Uso 's win at the Royal Rumble serve as an "insurance policy" to keep the WWE Championship open for WrestleMania?

Could it? I guess.  Is that why they did it?  No. It was the right call.  Jey is way over and sells a lot of merch. There is a great story to tell in one of the company’s most popular guys going for the Title.  I think they/Rock learned from last year. I don’t even know that he will be in a match on Mania at this point.

With the recent TNA/WWE partnership, how many of the recently released will show up in TNA and still show up on WWE programming on TNA contracts?

To be determined but I don’t know that TNA will take on many of them.  They run a tight ship there financially.
