dave His visa didn’t let him return in 2010 so it probably wouldn’t let him return now. Also he has has several controversies and they probably wouldn’t want to take their chances anyway.

[@dave-zm5vx]

@@zoem5530 controversy is fantastic for tv ratings. Will get more people watching. Only the hardcores would be against it, but causal viewers would watch. Trump is a ratings magnet. Even with all the controversy he gets more and more footage. wwe gets their best ratings when there is controversy and sexual talk.

[@zoem5530]

dave Considering what happened last season over sexual assault controversies, I don’t think they would want to go through the controversy with casting Richard again, since he had something similar on one of his seasons. Besides, like I said, his Visa probably wouldn’t allow it anyway.
