1. not that you rely on this for your sole source of income, but doesn’t it piss you off to see the product floundering? or is it a case where you get more revenue from people coming to bitch about today and relive the better days. not to get too personal, but have you seen a decline or rise in views or past book buys over the last 5 years or so.

Well there’s a lot of factors, very little of which have anything to do with the product generally. I was doing my highest ever pageviews and revenue on rspwfaq.net and then changed sites to this one and lost a ton of money in the process, although it’s been steadily recovering since then. That was more of a long-term investment idea, though. But I mean, winter of 2014 wasn’t exactly a hot time for the product and yet I was doing my biggest numbers. I don’t even remember how the numbers were during the Rantsylvania/SmarKs days because any ad revenue got pumped into server costs anyway, but that was during the peak of wrestling and I definitely wasn’t seeing any money from it. I have no idea how the old books are doing, I haven’t seen a cent from them since my initial advances, but the Kindle library is a steady monthly source of income for me, which is pretty awesome. And another reason why I’m never doing another print book.

2. Not to say thats its not the booking cuz it obviously doesnt help, but is anyone going to mention the steady decline goes along with the divas revolution. when people are conditioned not to take something seriously for well over a decade they cant expect not to change the channel and not look back. Raw has multiple diva segments now and i cant help but think that slowly people are turning at every one. Remember when crowds were turning one the womens matches and foley came out and called everyone sexist. Does it make me sexist to not be interested in bad acting and less athletic ability due to natures physiological differences? Guys put people thru tables and Paige put a submission move on top of a table. There is a reason the WNBA loses money.

​The Divas Revolution was dead long before any of them even got onto TV. It’s not even worth getting mad about any longer. ​

3. WWE calls you and says they want you to come up with a show idea and host it for the network. what do you come up with

​A revival of "Are You Serious?" or something similar. ​

4. If i hate having low level tag team members in Royal Rumbles I’m going to hate this years aren’t I?

​I have no idea where they’re even going to find 30 guys for this year’s show. ​

5. what royal rumble do you think had the least amount of possible winners going into it?

​93 was hella weak. It was Yokozuna or nothing, basically. I’d say ditto for 1995, which was literally a one-man show with Shawn Michaels. Moreso 93, though, where even a month out I was thinking "Oh shit, we’re gonna be stuck with Yokozuna this year" and especially after they added the "Winner gets a title shot" stipulation to the match.
