For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE is wisely taping the event before it airs.
2. It will depend on what other offers they get, but I expect Tampa will again be in the running in upcoming years.
3. It could definitely be big, though he could overshadow other stars there. I don't know if he'd want to risk his WWE connection.
Nothing to add to 4.
5. WWE is doing their best to keep as few people present on one "set" at a time.
More wrestling tomorrow.
