MY WORLD: Monty Brown: I was a seminary student when NWA/TNA launched in 2002 and I excitedly bought the first PPV’s in hopes of seeing an alternative to WWE. I remember Monty’s debut vividly, It felt fresh and inspiring to see an African American immediately placed into the Heavyweight title hunt upon their debut. My question is this, given today’s more accepting culture and long overdue respect for minority wrestlers in main event spots, how do you think Monty would have faired if he debuted today in 2022 vs 2002? When I watch The New Day (especially Big E.) I can’t help but wonder what could have been. - God Bless You & Your Loved Ones, Pastor Tim 83 Weeks Nitro Watchalong June 9, 1997: One of the things I personally enjoy about AEW is their use of Japanese/Joshi talent. I can’t help but recognize that WCW featured Japanese/Joshi wrestlers on a semi-regular basis. This episode is no exception as it featured a quick match between Akira Hokuto & Malia Hosaka with a Madusa run-in to build to Madusa’s match against Hokuto at Great American Bash. My question is this: Who typically decided which Japanese/Joshi talent was featured or promoted during this time, was it you, Sonny Onoo, or in this specific case Madusa who obviously had a successful career and reputation in Japanese women’s wrestling? Thank you again Eric for providing your unique perspective and insight into this era of wrestling and I pray for continued health and success for you and your loved ones, Pastor Tim What Happened When - Great American Bash 1996: The best thing about this entire show was the sweet Eddie Murphy red leather “RAW” inspired outfit worn by Dusty Rhodes in contrast to Tony’s straight man tuxedo. My question is this: Tony, did you ever stop and look at yourself and feel embarrassed by your lack of style when standing next to the great American fashion icon and Dream Dusty Rhodes? In all seriousness, God Bless you, Lois, and your loved ones, Pastor Tim. Something to Wrestle - Vengeance 2007: Vengeance 2007 would be the last time we see Rick Martel on WWE TV. I have two questions. 1. What was the thought process behind bringing Rick and the other legends (Slaughter, Snuka, Gorea) back for this match with Deuce & Domino and my second question: Now that way more deserving wrestling talents such as Drew Carey, Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kid Rock, and William Shatner are in the WWE Hall of Fame, can we get to the much lesser qualified male model Rick Martel inducted in the celebrity wing at the very least? I know he barely had a wrestling career but his modeling was on the level of Cindy Crawford back in the day. Sarcasm aside, Bruce thanks for taking the time to do these podcasts and I hope you feel the love that so many have for you. God Bless, Pastor Tim.

The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy - Stadium Stampede. You have done so much over your career. So first, thank you for so many awesome memories and I look forward to many more with you. My question is this: How did you judge success in the Stadium stampede match and crowdless shows in general during the pandemic considering there was no crowd to base success on or receive immediate feedback from? - God Bless, Pastor Tim
