I remember how ridiculous it was in the mid 90s with all the older wrestlers in WCW, but there is a crap load of wrestlers over 40 in WWE at the moment. I had time to waste so googled WWE wrestlers over 40, I may of missed some. Just thought it would be an interesting ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/2RbZFcD via IFTTT

Hey Scott, So I finally signed up for the free month of The WWE Network and now I just wish I was a teenager again so I actually had the time to watch it. Bloody family taking up all my time….

You mentioned you can see the Mania main event as Ambrose defending the title against Rollins and also said you don't know how they get there. What if they just add Ambrose to the match at Crown Jewel? I mean it would sacrifice Braun but I think we're at the point where it doesn't matter ...

Scott, Wrestling fans always talk about the territory system in the U.S., but I was thinking about how Canada seemingly had their own version. Thinking back I recall territories in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and the Maritimes just off the top of my head. Since you're Canadian and I'm not, I was just curious what ...

So we never actually saw the briefcase after Strowman handed it to Corbin. Any chance Baron kept the briefcase for himself and just awarded Braun a title match?

Is this Roman Reigns thing a first?  I mean has an active wrestler in a major promotion in the last 30-40 years ever had to take a leave of absence because of cancer?  Not necessarily forfeiting a title out of it or even announcing it on TV, just in general has this ever happened before? ...

So, uh, Hulk Hogan is “looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with WWE”.  Well, that’s one way for them to deflect criticisms against them.

Seeing that Roman is unfortunately gone for now, do you really see Braun winning the title at the PPV with no arena to announce? They couldn't possibly put it right back on Brock could they??

Do you have any information on who currently has the largest collection of watchable Al Snow matches in the WWE locker room?

I may be slightly pessimistic, but given the seriousness of his condition and the low survival rates with cancer returning, is it fair to say wrestling fans should assume that Roman reigns is much more likely to die than come back any time soon?

Hey Scott,   To take us out of the sadness about Reigns' diagnosis, here's an open-ended question.   Which tag-team match, for a tag team championship, had the four most talented participants?   Is it HHH / Austin v Benoit / Jericho?  Or am I missing something?   I guess it's hard to quantify "most ...

Scott, Who are some guys that didn't do much in their career, but if they'd come around in a different era you could see them being a main event player?

Scott, It really sucks that Roman Reigns' leukemia has resurfaced. I wonder if Vince knew about this beforehand, and if the decision to make Reigns The Man was influenced by that?
