Wrestling fan Willie Smith asks...

Willie Smith
Mike Mooneyham, why is Vince holding the brothers down? I figure there has to be an overthrow so "The Man" can return for the big match. Not sure if Ronda comes back or not since it is rumored she wants to take time off to have a child. Think Kofi is out no matter what. What do you know?

Mike Mooneyham
Surprised by the decision to remove Kofi since he's red hot now. Looks like Bruce Prichard has been brought back to shake things up. But removing someone from a title match has already been done. Just don't want to see another Triple Threat match.

Greg Tingle
VKM as an authority figure, full on heel or subtle heel, does work. It seems as if they (Bruce Prichard) and company are aiming to replicate some of that Austin - McMahon magic, but with Lynch channelling Austin. Charlotte Flair may be channelling Mick Foley (when he alignined with Mr McMahon), or maybe I am looking too deep into this. As the late Gorilla Monsoon would say "He might have gone to the well too many times". In reality, not everyone has been watching professional wrestling WWE style as along as us, so they might not pick the role replacements. Hey, if its good television and entertaining, creates buzz, and TV numbers go up, and even sports media figures globally still care to right about it, that's a big win and success. In my estimation Bruce Pritchard has done a stellar job upon his return thus far, mind you, he also has big star power (Roman Reigns and Ric Flair) to work with, but he's off to a flying start. Can Mr. Prichard keep it up week after week, without going nuts... just kidding. The WWE business has picked up, and great to see Triple H and Chris Jericho getting along so well. Secret / non secret talent exchange program. Hey, the wrestlers have doubled their pay, and the fans have another alternative, so that's a win - win, (unless your the bean counter at WWE having to fork out double the money for talent). AWE's Cody Rhodes must have had a preminition when he came up with the title for his upcoming event in Las Vegas at the MGM, 'Double Or Nothing". The chips are down and its high stakes. AWE is going to need stadiums while WWE for the most part won't, unless its WrestleMania. It's almost time to bring back Kevin Nash as 'Vinnie Vegas', just kidding, maybe not. 'Diamond' Dallas Page would look good in Vegas with some 'Diamond Dolls', if his wife will agree to the booking. MGM must be laughing all the way to the bank. Bruce Prichard might also do well to plug into some Vegas dollars. As the infamous wrestling book says, "Red Turns To Green." A bit of colour at WrestleMania would shake things up, with Mr Prichard's pencil can convince VKM. So Vince loved the 'David vs Goliath', and something tells me he might go with Vegas casino angles (depending upon city schedules coming up), and a red - green scenario. Fantasy Booking 101 is fun, especially when your not the one burning thru cash. McMahon has far eclipsed P.T. Barnum, and Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Bruce Prichard are the supporting cast. And, Shane McMahon is always an 'Ace In The Hole', to add a bump when required. That's Showbiz. We're running with some news on this fodder, and the Australian - international audience will be looking forward to the "What Next', in the never ending storyline that is professional wrestling aka "sports entertainment".
