10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (April 18)

7. Talk Show Segments On WWE Shows?

From @ShaySmithers: Is there really a place for wrestlers doing talk show segments anymore? Something like Miz TV doesn't seem to be that must-see.
You make a great point that I agree with. It's really just a gimmicky way of saying we need to get this storyline over, so let's say there's a talk show and have this wrestler get over the storyline he's a part of. That's really it. People can complicate it or think those segments mean more, but it's really that simple. It's all about doing something creative to say that this wrestler is going to talk to that wrestler. The magic of Piper's Pit is long gone. Those interviews were amazing because of Piper. Some of the other older ones with Brutus Beefcake, Shawn Michaels, Brother Love, Paul Bearer and others were okay. Then they brought them back in the 2000s with Chris Jericho, Carlito, Edge, Christian, Miz and others. These segments are fine once in a while although they definitely have lost some of the appeal that they once had.
