Raw's Survivor Series men's team has added Braun Strowman.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:

1. I don't think it was realistic to expect WCW under the WWF umbrella to be a long-term venture. The feeling was that a lot of the top WCW names were overpaid and washed up/lazy, so WWF wanted to continue to build the stars and shows they were already building. As for putting Storm in Buff's place, I think that would have even further solidified the "invaders" weren't top tier names. 

2 isn't a wrestling question. 

3. In hindsight putting them under masks was probably the right move! I hope we do see those names do better post-RETRIBUTION. 

4. I'm curious if he'll get his first name back when things are figured out with his lawsuit. 

5. It's absolutely a combination of factors, but I don't think anyone will say WWE is at its height of freshness or star power right now. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
