Questions on Nash, WWF, Punk/Sheamus, Angle, Cena, Heyman, WWE in LA, PPV venues, Hogans, Barrett, Kharma, Summerslam, Angle vs. Shamrock, Vickie, the WWE Network, WWE PG, Lesnar, wrestling books, WM29, and the Invasion

Here's my take on the 8/16 PWInsider.com questions. More after the break!
1. I still say Nash is every bit the puppetmaster he claims to be, since people keep talking about him and putting his name out there.

2. Maybe they're on good terms now. That's certainly interesting at any rate.

Nothing to add to 3 or 5. I hope they come to terms with the champs.

8/17, 8/18, 8/19, and 8/20 are after the break.

8/17:
Nothing to add to 1.

2. Nash as successful troll again. Always working everyone. I think this will only get worse as time goes on and he's less relevant to modern fans.

3. That is a big risk to take. I think if they do turn him heel, they need some babyfaces rarin' to go to be the new #1. He can't be replaced as top face overnight. As for ratings, they're in a good deal with USA for 3 hours, so NBC Universal must be fine with their ratings.

4. Still there! When Creative has a new idea for him, I expect we'll see him again. Or maybe they just throw him back on Superstars.

5. Heyman's seen as the God of ECW. People love to worship him. But yeah, the portrayal WWE put on is going to be the portrayal most people are familiar with.

8/18:
1. Remember, WWE's an entertainment company and they want to hobnob with celebrities. Hence, social media ambassadors and all that jazz. They hope that the audience for Jersey Shore, Charlie Sheen, etc. will cross over into the world of wrestling fandom. And it gives them credibility that popular people like them. It's like having Clint Eastwood at the Republican National Convention. Kind of.

2. They should do whatever makes the most money long-term! Any kind of stadium that fits a lot of people works if they can sell that many tickets.

3. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SISTERS. BROOKE IS THE LAW AROUND HERE, JACKIE. I can see it happening.

4. Yeah, that just kind of fell off the map, didn't it? I haven't seen anything about it in a long time.

5. As of the last show I saw, they're building up to Wade returning. Kharma might come back some day down the line, but is currently battling through some issues.

8/19:
1. Depends on how much money you had. I thought they did a better-than-average job of building heat for the show's feuds.

2. In their prime, I would have liked to have seen it.

3. I think it'd take a good story to turn Vickie since she's so over as a heel. I think she could get sympathy if positioned correctly.

4. They would definitely prefer at least having a base in a traditional cable network.

5. I think they'd lose some sponsors if they dropped PG and there's no guarantee that fans would come back with a more edgy product, but I don't see it being a disaster. It could even be a good thing if they tapped into what made the '90s work so well.

8/20:
1. In Brock's defense, he was pretty burned out and not into the long travel of the WWE life.

2. No idea on that one!

3. Kevin Nash, Paul Heyman, and Chris Benoit (to maybe understand what snapped in him)

4. Taker vs. Lesnar, Rock vs. Cena, and Punk vs. HHH? The last one's on a limb.

5. If WCW 2001 was WCW 1998, they could have done a lot more with the Invasion angle. They weren't playing with a full deck.
