Topical questions

By Scott Keith on April 17, 2014

Scott, enjoying a day off and catching up on some WWE stuff (HOF, Raw). A few quick topical questions I'd like your thoughts on, if you would.
1) Now that we are 2 shows removed from WM, has your opinion changed/softened at all about Brock snapping the streak? You called it "one of the dumbest booking decisions in wrestling history. " While I agreed, I realize they were booked into a corner and had really little choice. Brock breaking the streak bothers me less than the idea that wwe essentially didn't maximize every aspect of the streak ending.2) Will we ever see Undertaker wrestle again? Wouldn't there still be huge money in an Undertaker "final match." Wouldn't people still pay just to see his send off match?3) How would you maximize Brock at this point? Keep him off of TV until Summerslam? Pay him to work more dates and just have him steam roll people until WM?4) It appears Bryan is wrestling Kane at the ppv. Are you in the – this shows that Bryan is going to be treated like a secomdary attraction champ like Punk, Rey, Benoit, etc– it's fine for Bryan to take a step back and showcase a new feud. Wwe is still fully behind Bryan
​1. How were they booked into a corner? It was Vince's call and he apparently convinced Undertaker to do it. Wrong guy at the wrong time.
Not to mention they haven't even mentioned it since then!
(Note for the sarcasm impaired: Yes, I know.)
2. ​Nope. The streak was the draw. Undertaker's other appearances in a main event role outside of WM haven't drawn in many years.
3. Yeah, keep him off TV for a long while and then have him steamroll Bryan at Summerslam or Survivor Series so they can do the big rebuild and redemption for Bryan next year.
4. He's a secondary attraction. They gave the fans their big payoff at Wrestlemania and now it's full steam ahead on the Roman Reigns Train, choo choo. You'll notice that there's no clear challengers for Bryan because they didn't want to go in this direction and haven't had the chance to set anything up for him. I still do like the Sheamus heel turn idea playing off the 18 second deal, with Sheamus and Barrett as HHH's corporate arse-kickers. But my gut feeling is that Bryan is basically on his own now.
