Live Schiavone podcast, Interviews with Arquette/Matt Hardy, and a Question on booking Brock

Tony Schiavone did a live "What Happened When" podcast in North Carolina.

David Arquette spoke to TMZ Sports about his wrestling work.

Matt Hardy had a Q&A during his racing appearance.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com question:
1.a. This was basically one long question, so I'll treat it as such. I'd love to see Brock work like he has in the past. He was a lot more fun to watch before Suplex City, but they've got something that works to make him look like an indestructible beast (incarnate).

1.b. I definitely think WWE could book Brock's matches in a way that he wins but his opponents still look strong. The key is the followup, i.e. the talent losing needs to mean more three months after the match than they meant going into it. There's definitely a problem where some talents are "S tier" and even if an "A tier" talent hangs with them/beats them, they go right back to working with more "A tier" talent and those matches are about as even as they would have been previously. I think one of the big problems in WWE now is the concern with everyone outside that "S tier" has to go 50-50 with others in their tier and have strong matches at the expense of someone really going over. In other words, strong wrestling is increasingly seen as the end in of itself rather than building talents up as stars.

More wrestling tomorrow.
