The only thing I think would be off if we have board members commenting on debates is it could make it a disadvantage for one side of the topic. If anything, maybe save discussion for when the debate is final. Debates should be between the 2 members assigned to the topic. If you want to win your debate, do your research and give your position.
If we do non-wrestling topics, let's keep it say to 2 topics per card??? Maybe something like who's the bigger MMA legend Randy Couture or Chuck Liddell?? Better film franchise, Harry Potter or Star Wars, etc. etc. Im just throwin stuff out there.
