May has been a tough month for WWE. They have been dealt blow after blow. The stock price dropped significantly, their TV deal renewal wasn't nearly what they had hoped for, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan had to have neck surgery meaning they likely have to go in another direction and Monday's Raw rating was very poor. It feels like Wade Barrett is saying "I'm afraid I've got some bad news" over and over concerning anything WWE related right now. The Payback lineup that is set for June 1st in Chicago has the potential to be great thanks to the Shield vs. Evolution No Hards Barred elimination match, John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match and Sheamus vs. Cesaro for the US Title. They should all be very physical battles. Obviously the WWE Title is missing, but if those three matches all get a significant amount of time they will be great. As WWE fans, we should always try to look at things with an optimistic view point because if we're negative then we are not enjoying the product like we should. There were a couple of Owen Hart questions this week because Friday was the 15th anniversary of his tragic death. It's still the saddest day for a lot of wrestling fans, myself included. Owen was a terrific in-ring performer that had a great personality and was genuinely well liked by his peers. It's hard to find anybody that has a bad word to say about the King of Harts. It's Q&A time here at WhatCulture, which has become a weekend tradition. Thanks as always for the questions via Twitter to @johnreport.
