For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Honestly if anything I think it would be a response to social unrest in the U.S.
2. I do think a lot of people want to know and judge everything immediately, especially in the social media age. There are plenty of armchair bookers, too, and that includes me.
3. I would expect so.
4. I definitely think you can induct the group for what its members accomplished. It was formed as a way to elevate Rock and Henry by putting them with veterans.
5. I'm sure they would love to run a larger venue with live fans, but I don't see them changing just for the Rumble unless it's safe to do so. I'm surprised they've been willing to restrict things as much as they have as long as they have.
More wrestling tomorrow.
