Austin/WWE, Tag Titles, Tarped Off, Refs, Shelton

Written by Richard Gray on Jul 13, 2009 - 1:17:56 PM

Even though Steve Austin is retired from wrestling, do you see him making any future appearances on WWE television?

Anything is possible but I think we have seen the last of Steve Austin on WWE television for the foreseeable future. Austin's Hall of Fame induction followed by his appearance at WrestleMania 25 this year was meant to be a send-off. Austin is currently pursuing a career as an actor.

With the WWE and World Tag Team Championships being unified at WrestleMania, is WWE planning to make one set of belts?

The last word I got was there were plans to create one set of tag titles. However, I have not heard when they plan to go forward with the new belts.

What's the term "tarped off" mean?

Tarped off means seats in a venue that are covered up by a tarp. WWE does this when they do not sell an event out and they do not want empty seats shown on camera.

When did the colors of the WWE referees go to only a white striped shirt and black pants?

WWE changed the attire of their referees when they stopped making them brand specific. There used to be three referee teams, one for each brand so they had their own unique attire. Now WWE has rotating teams of referees that work all TVs for that particular week so they went with the traditional referee shirt and black pants.

I personally think Shelton Benjamin has all the tools to be a world champion, but for some reason or another, he doesn't seem to get a push. Does he have some sort of backstage heat with Vince McMahon, or is he just destined to be a mid-card worker?

I (along with the majority of the WWE roster) am baffled as to why Shelton Benjamin has not been given more of a legitimate run in the company. Shelton is as talented as they get as far as in-ring abilities and has a good look and isn't bad on the mic. Your guess is as good as mine as to why he is not pushed more but he doesn't have any backstage heat.
