Hey Conrad, what are your thoughts on Cody losing at WrestleMania? Regardless of the result, do you feel like it was done well? Does it feel like there's a plan going forward? Was Cody the last credible opponent to dethrone Reigns and if he does indeed go on to beat him further down the line, have they missed the boat doing it at this Mania?

I'll go for another: what are your honest thoughts on Vince McMahon's moustache and dye job?

What is your favorite part of doing podcasts? Love the AFS family. You have built something special here. Thanks

Hi Conrad. Hope all is well. Feel free to disregard this question if you don’t like it but I was curious if you had any favorite memories of sharing your wrestling fandom with your stepchildren? My stepfather recently passed away and I’m so thankful for all the great memories my mom and I had with him over the years. Also Thank You for all you do with AdFreeShows. I haven’t been as active lately doing busy with my dream job as a professor but I always credit my AdFreeShows friends and family for helping me get where I am today. 😀

Where did you see wwe say in the next year or so with this merger? Do you see crossover events, crossover ppvs, or no crossover? Just overall where do you see this going?

What were your thoughts regarding the Wrestlemania entrance stage and set? This is one of the most impressive sets for a live event I have ever seen.

Looking forward to TGW so much! I’m bringing a friend with me and we’re both craft beer nerds. Since most places have several local breweries now I was curious if you could recommend any in Huntsville we should try while we’re there. Thanks for everything you do!

There’s a GCW/New South show in Huntesville the same weekend as TGW. Any chance this will be part of the festivities? 👀👀

You’re a fan of MMA. Any chance you take a shot at doing a nostalgia-based podcast on the early UFC days? I think Big John McCarthy would be a great one to partner up with.

Hey Conrad to your knowledge does the WWE still have downside guarantees?

I heard you say that a Chyna long form episode for STW would be better if Bruce wasn't in the company. Are there any other episodes that you have in mind that would be better after Bruce's run?

Conrad - do you prefer Mac or Windows computers for your office and are they different from those you use at home?

I’m out of debt and have some decent savings built up. Would you encourage rental properties or another type of side income?

Ad Free Shows has done an excellent job of showing many different parts of the wrestling industry either in podcasts or specials that you have provided to the community. These include bringing in multiple referees, bookers, wrestlers of different eras and organizations and even the writer of several of our favorite wrestler theme songs. Is there an area of the industry that you have considered but the right person or availability hasn't been made available yet? We know you would love a show with Paul Haymon as anybody would, but is there something maybe that hasn't been discussed? One thing that comes to my mind is the possibility in the coming years of having a blockbuster female talent who is the focus of a podcast. We are several years into the Women's Revolution and I understand that the WWE still has quite a bit of control in this area, but what are the possibilities to see something like this or another area of the industry that you feel might be lacking in the podcast arena?

I have a mental block with money at the moment Conrad. I have hit a salary limit and am trying to work my way around the block by writing my thoughts and speaking my goals into action. Have you any tips on how I get through the block? Thank you for adfree shows I learn so much about business from listening to JR, Eric and yourself especially

I’ll be attending RAW in a few months and will be in the front row, what Ad Free Shows shirt would you recommend to wear to promote front and center?

Do you think when the peacock deal is up. Endeavor will renew it or go the ufc ppv route?

Curious on your immediate reaction of when there's a release of a performer higher on the card and seeing social immediate immediately come up with lines of "Hey Hey It's Conrad Thompason and you're listening to [insert witty pod title]". Is it still surreal or more like eye rolling?

With the LWO being relaunched. How would merch royalties work? For example nash gets money for nwo shirts, if they relaunched that would new members get them too? Understand you might not know but if anyone would thought you would

which of these is the best potential podcast partner for you, fantasy booking. triple h, shawn michaels, shane macmahon or stephaine macmahon. and what would be top 3 topics with your pick.

Understand you might not want to give all info but could you explain as best you can. So aew started with all out. With bucks and Cody and omega. And they all became evp of aew. Now I assumed that meant they got an ownership stake to guarantee they stayed on. But obviously I assumed wrong with Cody leaving. Can you explain it for me and would be curious to know your thoughts

The opening jingle at the beginning of the Podcasts that says 'Leader in Sports Entertainment' - is that an original WWE jingle by Jim Johnson or one that the team made just for the podcasts? Thanks for everything Conrad - Nick from the UK

Am I wrong in thinking it would have made more sense for Dominic to revive the LWO since Eddie started it and Rey fought joining the group? Also while on the subject of stables and Rey Mysterio if you had to put together a modern day version of The Filthy Animals who you going with?

Hi Conrad, are there any plans for an AFS event in London before All In? If so what day will it take place, so I can plan my flight to London 😉

Hey Conrad. You have attended so many live wrestling shows in your life. What was your first show you attended and what is the show you remember the most?

Just like yourself Conrad, Sycho Sid Viscious was a guilty pleasure of mine during the mid to late 90’s in both WWF and WCW. The introduction of Sid into WWF as Sid Justice in the early 1990’s was a bit of a flop. Looking back at the overall WWF roster at this time, and knowing that wrestling popularity was trending down, how would you have booked Sid? WWF still had a great roster with veteran stars and up incoming stars like Bret and Shawn.
