Hey Scott, Why did they have Braun skip NXT? Wasn't this basically the reason NXT was created? To give homegrown talent, with no experience, a platform to practice without getting exposed national-wide? It couldn't have been for shock value for when he came up because they immediately shunted him into the background of the Wyatt ...

With Double J getting the call, when's CM Punk getting in the Hall of Fame?   Once they find an opponent in UFC at a low enough level for him to beat.  So maybe 2028?  Alternatively, he can take the James Dudley route and work as Vince's chauffeur for a few years.   from Scotts Blog of Doom! http://ift.tt/2GuDrNy via IFTTT

How much of Jeff Jarrett's 1999 WWF departure had to do with Russo leaving 2 weeks before?  Was it just a coincidence that Jarrett decided to leave for WCW just 2 weeks after Russo suddenly did?

Don't get me wrong, ​Rock vs. Austin at the Astrodome in WM 17​ is one of my three favorites matches ever, but I'm just curious: when HBK showed up in a Soma coma and torpedoed the planned comeback match between him and HHH at that WrestleMania, was there any consideration of making the main event ...

  With the Dudleys going in the HOF, where do they rank on the all time list for tag teams? Not WWE, all time.
