Maryse, MVP Losing, WWE Superstars, Gail Kim, More

Written by Richard Gray on Dec 22, 2008 - 10:58:32 AM

My question is regarding Maryse and Michelle McCool. Seeing how this is Maryse's second feud with McCool, do you think WWE will put the Divas Championship on Maryse?

I think that it's a possibility but I haven't heard anything for sure. Maryse has definitely worked hard and has improved in the ring. Personally I am awaiting a push for Natalya as I think that she has the potential to be really outstanding if given the chance. WWE could be holding off on her until TJ Wilson and DH Smith get called up.

Why is WWE doing this angle with MVP losing so much?

As I reported on WNW Premium last week, MVP started doing the tremendous amount of jobs because of backstage heat. I was told that MVP had "superstar syndrome" where he was acting like he was bigger than the business and the decision was made to humble him. The losing streak has now been turned into an angle so I wouldn't be surprised to see it come to an end in the near future. Obviously MVP is viewed as an asset by the company, however, they have sent a pretty clear message that he is not bigger than the business.

How is this new show, WWE Superstars, going to work?

WWE Superstars will air on WGN America for one-hour in prime time on the network beginning in April 2009. That is all the information that has been released at this time.

I was wondering with all the talk about Sim Snuka joining the Legacy, do you know if D.H. Smith has been mentioned? I know that the idea was to bring him back on SmackDown but I think he would fit into this group very well considering who his father was.

The current plan for DH Smith is to bring him to SmackDown with TJ Wilson as his tag team partner and Natalya as their valet. There was talk this past summer about adding Smith to the Legacy group but it appears that they are going to bring him up as The Foundation tag team over on SmackDown. As always, plans could change, but that is the latest word.

If you could book a Triple Threat match with a worker from every top company in the business (WWE, TNA & ROH), what would it be? (In my case, I'd choose Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles & Bryan Danielson).

I like Mysterio and Styles in that match but Danielson doesn't seem to fit their style. I would go with Rey Mysterio vs. AJ Styles vs. Austin Aries or if I wanted to do mat wrestlers with a more traditional style I would do Bryan Danielson vs. Kurt Angle vs. Triple H. I could come up with combos all day, so I'll stop with those.

How close is Gail Kim to becoming a member of WWE? I know she's been backstage at a few tapings, but that's it. I would love to see a Beth Phoenix/Gail match, as well as Natalya/Gail. Is she still negotiating or what?

I am under the impression that Gail Kim is under a 3-year contract with WWE with a downside guarantee in the $100,000 range. I think that WWE is waiting on the right opportunity to bring her in and would expect her to return in early 2009. I heard that they were thinking of putting her on SmackDown, although that could have changed. We might have more information after tonight's tapings.
