If you were in charge of the sports book for MGM what would you give the odds of Daniel Bryan re-signing with WWE.

What is more likely to happen A.) Jeremy Lambert stops listening to Taylor Swift B.) Joe Hulbert stops using that fake English accent or C.) Jimmy Van starts wearing shoes valued over $100 B is a joke

Any word from anyone in WWE on how they felt about the Benoit doc? I expect non-WWE produced docs to be hit pieces as much as I expect WWE produced ones to be fluff jobs, but I thought those episodes of Dark Side were pretty fair

You mentioned last week you thought Royal Blood would be a good band to do Raw’s theme song. Did you have a specific song in mind? I think “Lights Out” or “Come on Over” would be great ones

Have you read any wrestling biographies? Do you have a favorite?

Jonathan Ma

The Luke Harper and Matt Harper interviews, plus Ryno’s comments all show that WWE is pretty open about the fact that theyre paying wrestlers even for whom they have no plans, “just to have them”: 1) if an investor/investment firm/shareholder rep saw those comments, wouldnt that...look like shit? The reported numbers are six to seven figure commitments that serve literally no purpose other than to deny the market talent... 2) which leads me to my next point: isnt this kind of making a strong case for anyone that might, i dunno, call WWE an anticompetitive monopoly? Or, alternatively...hurt WWE’s “independent contractor” deal? Maybe this is a Thurston/Jimmy topic they can tackle too

e d

Did you ever get into watching shoot videos, any ones that stand out to you? I loved the timeline one they did with Bruno.

Jonathan Ma

I was too young to remember Jake the Snake but when he debut’d in AEW, i consistently heard how he was a great promo. About 3 weeks in, havent his promos been wildly meandering at best, inconsistent and distracting at worst? I mean Archer’s gimmick was best sold thru that pretape asskicking segment and his “Murder hawk everyone dies” persona is real simple. Calling Brandi “cleopatra” adds nothing to me. Where did his promo rep come from and do you think he is adding to Archer’s act thru his mic work?

Anonymous

Do you think Goldberg is more likely to retain at Wrestlemania now that he's facing Braun? Or with him being such a part timer do you think Braun will actually win?

Jonathan Ma

Sorry if i have not kept up with the AEW post shows. I know you are cool with Matt but also will remain objective: How the hell is this version of Matt Hardy supposs to fit in the “sports” oriented to of AEW? Wasnt the face off with Jericho completely disjointed? Was the recent “turn” on social media against the “teleportation magic” deal (calling it a drone trick attack) a response by Tony Khan to this very issue?

Jonathan Ma

VoW (joe lanza most loudly) characterized the dichotomy like this: Broken Matt is great at getting Matt over, much credit. But it did not create any sustained success in TNA/Impact and it doesnt look like its gonna get AEW the promotion more over. Does that make sense? I sort of get it, do you agree?

Which professional wrestling stable in WWE was the best out of these? MNM, DX, The Shield, or The Wyatt Family.

Do you know what affect a prolonged Coronavirus shutdown will have on current contract lengths? With Braun stating that he is not currently getting paid because shows are cancelled does that maybe suggest that WWE have frozen contracts? Is this likely to cause legal/financial challenges to mid-sized organisations like ROH who have talent like Dragon Lee and Flip Gordon who are in their last 6-9 months of contracts?

Frankie Aguilera

How do you feel about rotating commenters weekly as AEW does it? What about the hourly changes TNA and WCW used to make?

Is the AEW tag team division TOO stacked? And would the lack of character development get worse with the revival?

Frankie Aguilera

AJ Styles has had 3 different face/heel turns in 4 years with WWE. Do you feel that this hurts his character at all?

Anonymous

Should WWE develop a traveling WWE Hall of Fame exhibit or exhibits? It seems like it would be a great attraction that they could feature at WWE Access or any of their PPVs.

Frankie Aguilera

I couldn’t disagree more with your take on Jake. He’s cutting his promos is basically the same style he did 30 years ago, it may just not be your cup of tea

Frankie Aguilera

My man, I don’t think these hypothetical questions are much better than the “your favorite” questions lol.

Frankie Aguilera

I’m a bit burned out on documentaries, what matches, PPVs or anything in ring can you recommend watching on the network?

Frankie Aguilera

Does the lack of the “wrestlemania bump” in the ratings this year say we are now in an era where ratings and fandom are constant all year? Or maybe absent is the word. I thought around 2015 we had entered an era of new mainstream acceptance but that seems to not be the case anymore.

On the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast, Matt Jackson said one of the more surprising aspects of the experience was the “power of tv” to get someone over. Now, with we have seen that just putting someone on a Raw or Smackdown does not guarantee “over”-ness Are you surprised at how, relatively quickly, and not even using everyone every week, AEW has gotten relative unknowns like MJF or Darby to such a high level of recognition and reaction? Now that we are in a sort of time out period, can you step back and quantify what lessons we’ve learnd about introducing new talent on tv and getting them to a certain level?

In addition to it being just plain boring, is WWE also making a mistake showing older during Raw and Smackdown due to constantly drawing attention to the difference between matches with fans vs matches without? I feel we could stomach the shows just a bit better if we weren't constantly reminded how much the audience can make or break a segment or match sometimes

Latest Wrestlenomics analysis is that in 2019, WWE house shows *lost* $4.7M and only brought in $3.1m in merch from those events. While $1.6m net loss is a relative pittance compared to overall revenue, have we officially reached a point where WWE should stop running house shows? They have 3 touring TV brands already and every event creates injury risk

Would this be an ideal time to film a mae young classic-esque or king of the ring type tournament? Have it take place over all the shows over the next few weeks? It would be easy to tape over a few days and gives all the matches stakes. You could give each person in the match a highlight package and make the audience care about them.
