Q: With the current big influx of talent in the EBWF, what does this mean for their weekly show? Is it going to get watered down just so they can put everyone on the show? Is this a sign of the times for the competition? -Harry B.

A: This happens more often than you think. Every year there’s a hiring spurt, and ultimately there winds up being some spring cleaning. I will admit however, the news of EBWF signing new talent seems to be happening this year more intensely than previous years. We can only wait and see if there’s a reason behind all of the new people coming over. Considering all of the problems TNA is having at the moment, it wouldn’t be surprising if that’s one of the reasons.

Q: Do you think Paul Heyman is angry about the results of King of the Ring, and what it means for the main event at Summerslam? More specifically, do you think Randy Orton winning the King of the Ring is a step in the wrong direction? -Jonathan W.

A: It’s really hard to say if Paul Heyman is angry or not. I can’t imagine he is too mad, because let’s be honest. If Paul Heyman had something to say, he’d have said it by now, I think we can all agree on that. Paul’s got a great mind for this business, and despite his limited role in the direction of the EBWF, he will speak his mind if he thinks the company is going in the wrong direction. As far as what my opinion is, Randy Orton signed a ridiculous deal a couple years ago. He’s got to have one of the highest paid contracts in the EBWF, if not the highest. The fact that he’s been so scarce in the main event the last two years has been the single greatest waste of money. The man is being paid a lot to do his job, and they should put him to use.

Q: Is it me or does the EBWF have some weird love nest where everyone pairs off with everyone else? I’m hearing all this stuff about wrestlers dating other wrestlers or members of the staff. -Phyllis S.

A: With the amount of time that these people spend together while they’re traveling the United States and abroad, do you really think it’s a stretch to think that they form romantic relationships from time to time? It’s not specific to the EBWF, any co-ed wrestling organization where the talent is away from home more often than they’re at home is going to be the same way.

Q: What do you think about TNA’s financial woes? Are their days numbered? -Randall J.

A: We’ve been reporting for at least a couple years now that TNA is bleeding money. They were spending more on contracts and production costs on the road than they were taking in from merch and ticket sales. So the fact that they’re struggling to keep their heads above water is not a shocker. I’ll put it this way. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer company. They released Jesse Sorenson after a neck injury that was sustained at a TNA show. They refused to even put a dollar towards Zema Ion’s medical expenses regarding a tumor that was discovered in May. And several years back, they refused to pay Daffney for medical expenses she sustained during a spot with Abyss on their program, which is what ultimately led to her signing with the EBWF. You reap what you sow.

(Don't know if the e-mail actually works but here you go through here).

Hey Jason! I have a couple of EBWF related questions!

1. Is it true that Curt Hawkins was released from the company?

2. When do you think CM Punk will return?

3. Who do you think will win the MITB ladder match?

Thanks man, I appreciate your response.
