Fightful Select

Fightful Select

CLOSED

3. Who is your pick to win the G1, I've got Shingo Takagi personally, thanks for all you do SRS, FTF

KingoftheNorth

2. Is there a backstage reason as to why Smackdown seems to have a more solid direction and Raw seems to be repetitive all the time? New writers, new head of creative?

KingoftheNorth

1. Could you see a G1, World Tag League and Best of Super Juniors work in AEW? I'd really like to see them adopt the King of Trios tournament from Chikara.

With WWE loudly proclaiming their wrestlers are actually just actors playing characters owned by the company, do you think talent will be less inclined to keep their online presence kayfabe?

Becky Dayecarter

1. Do you see Miro moving the needle for AEW in terms of being a draw? 2. Are there plans for AEW to bring Thunder Rosa back for more matches? As a follow-up, have they talked about possibly bringing in Nick Aldis for a few NWA title defenses or maybe even a feud with an AEW talent? 3. Do you believe that American talent will be able to travel to Japan for Wrestle Kingdom?

John Morris

Would AEW beating or just coming close to Raw in viewership light a fire under Vince? Or would he just not care because he’s getting his money regardless?

Brennon Richardson

Does Vince even know how to book a weekly show anymore? Or does he just not care ?

Brennon Richardson

2. Have you heard anything about New Japan and ROH working together again. Or is this just another try at it

NateF_81

Hey SRS, 1. Is there any chance we see Joseph Parks in a bigger role whether in ring or backstage? 2. What's next for Karrion Kross? Will he be moved to Raw/Smackdown or back in the NXT title picture. 3. Will we see Pat McAfee back in the ring? He proved himself to be more than just a talking head...in my opinion anyway.

Billy Buehner

With Cody doing more tv shows. Do you think he is going to take time off from the ring

NateF_81

1. What does it feel like to get hit in the back with a steel chair? 2. As someone who has never had long hair why do the male wrestlers get there hair wet before there matches but not female wrestlers? 3. It’s crazy to think that I would be saying I’m happy is Roman is back and he’s made SmackDown feel like such a bigger deal

Zach Conner

Who was the woman that was in MJF's campaign that was always told to smile?

Reid Greenspan

3) Thoughts on Miro in AEW?

Jonathan Stone

2) FTR vs. the Bucks should be an extended program, how do you think it gets booked?

Jonathan Stone

1) With AEW and NWA working together, do you see Nick Aldis appearing on Dynamite or Full Gear to defend the World's Heavyweight belt?

Jonathan Stone

1. Do you think Sinbad was brought into the Dark Order because he's on that graphic for Cameo with Big E?😁🤣 2. Someone mentioned an iron man tables matches a few weeks ago. I loved that. Curious of your thoughts of this one...... Survivor Series with Raw/SD/NXT last year seemed lacking. Up the ante...5v5v5 Tables Survivor Series...We're guaranteed to see 14 people take a table spot... 3. Any word on Charlotte Flair's return? I might be wrong, but I thought the initial report was that it would be around SummerSlam.

Ray Callahan Jr

1) Do you ever go back and watch older stuff on the network from the territory days and 2) do you think there is valuable storyline arcs they could borrow from? 3) Keep up the fantastic work. I think you are one of the honorable ones out there doing this!

Mark Hebert

Any info on what Lio Rush’s plans are?

BDM

Ryan Satin initially had a report about there being a stunt coordinator who signed off on the Matt/Sammy spot earlier in the day. Have you heard anything about that?

BDM

A while back there was a rumor out there that wwe had some massive angle planned for wrestlemania season (nexus like) but didn’t do it because of covid, did you ever hear anything about this and if there was truth to it , is retribution something to do with it? As you continue to do no curse September (successfully might I add) , what’s the most recent wrestling moment to happen that was so bad that would’ve resulted in you having to curse on the review even during this no curse September With the twitch/cameo stuff going on , got me thinking . If You could hire one wwe or aew star to do content for fightful with goal of maximum views who would it be and doing what? (I.e Xavier gaming type thing) my guess is big E

3) After Xavier Woods brought it up on Talking Smack, do you ever see Cesaro becoming world champion in WWE?

Oliver

2) Is Dijak the presumed leader of Retribution? His promos, look, and size seem like all things Vince would love.

Oliver

1) Any word on how Kushida feels in NXT? Is he longing to go back to NJPW?

Oliver

Will WWE ever do an Evolution 2 this year or Next?

Jay Cain

With Tessa Blanchard now returning to wrestling will she sign with either WWE or AEW before the year is over

Jay Cain

Are there plans currently to bring Fightful MMA/Fightful Gaming content to Fightful Select?

potentially loaded question, but what would you consider the most influential moment in women’s wrestling history?

Dev W.

have you heard of any backstage reactions to Andrew Yang’s tweets?

Dev W.

who would you consider among the greatest unsung heroes in the wrestling business?

Dev W.

Hey srs, You mentioned the crazy humidity during all out, I was wondering if that can cause things like slippery turnbuckles etc and maybe contributed a few of the noticeable botches? 2. Could aew have stopped the hardy v sammy match and got out of the matt leaving aew angle by shooting at the start of dynamite that it the story has to come second to real life danger? Aew doesn't pretend everythings real all the time like wwe, and I thought they could have earned further respect points by this breaking of kayfabe? 3. Where do you thing orange cassidy should go from here to maintain his momentum?

Ben Williams

When do you think Sasha and Bayley face each other

Shawn Garner

When do you think the members of Retribution will be revealed

Shawn Garner

Since Asuka is facing Mickie James on Monday who do you think She Faces at Clash

Shawn Garner

1. Any news from other wrestlers backstage or other behind the scenes employees in AEW with regards to how the company handled the Matt Hardy/Sammy Guevara match? 2. With AEW’s second show in the works have you heard of anyone the company has tried to sign to add depth to the roster? 3. Any word on the WWE future of Billie Kay?

Brian Bayless

Hi Sean. Two questions; ONE: Who’s in charge of NXT camera work? Too many camera cuts & shakes. TWO: who’s head of creative of RAW? I hear it’s a mess

JJ Gyllenhaal

1. Renee Paquette revealed that she has a lengthy no-compete clause that's apparently much longer than the 90 days for wrestlers that are granted a release from their contract. Is this clause usually longer for non-wrestling talents in WWE ? 2. Just saw a great video from ROH promoting their upcoming Pure tournament and return to TV. Is it possible for ROH to "loan" out their wrestlers like Matt Sydal for AEW appearances in the near future? 3. I don't have a third wrestling question to ask. I just want to thank you, as well as the other wrestling journalists like Gary Cassidy and Jon Alba and others I forgot to mention, who went out of their way to refute the false narrative of AEW's media scrums vetting calls and kicking off people for asking tough questions. Misinformation like that lessens the credibility of wrestling journalism and fuels fan tribalism. Seriously, thank you. #FruitThatFoot

Sheila Antonio

1. AEW’s titles have been primarily held by babyfaces whereas most of NXT’s titles are held by heels. Why the difference in booking and which is better for television? 2. What goes into throwing a good working punch and what’s a past and current example of a good working punch?

Frankie Aguilera

1) with the partnership with NWA and AEW and mox saying he wanted to work more with NJPW, do you see a possibility of an All In 2 type show? 2) is there any rhyme or reason to who comes out first for entrances in either singles or tag team matches? Feel like it was a waste having Sasha's new theme cut off for Bayleys? 3) any explanation for why it feels like the IC title feels more important recently (starting with Seth/Dolph in 2018 and AJ winning it) over the US title?

Jake Schwall

3. Since there aren't many tag teams on the main roster is wwe going to eliminate either the smackdown or raw tag team belts and make it one?

ronak patel

I have been watching Championship Wrestling from Hollywood recently. I have noticed that someone that stands out is Ray Rosas. Have you heard anything about him being looked at by other promotions?

Reid Greenspan

2. If wwe owns the rights to people's names like John Cena or Jessamyn Duke while working, does that agreement last until their contracts with wwe are over or do they collect royalties during and even after their contract?

ronak patel

1) Have been watching several of the last GCW shows and really like how they are handling social distance measures and very diverse rosters. Do you watch a lot of their shows and if so who do you think is making a name for themselves as of late? Big fan of Cole Radrick!

Hunner Gaskins

1. I had noticed that AEW was trying to practice #NPS. Is it because of time Warner and Tony Khan trying to lower the rating of dynamite to PG to make it family friendly or is there a limit for profanity use during the broadcast.

ronak patel

1. Do you think Jake Hager will make for a good TNT champion? 2. Will Sheamus win the IC title, so he can officially become a grand slam champion? 3, What were your thoughts from the 2007 feud between Batista and Undertaker?

YOUNG BIBBY

What video games did you enjoy playing growing up and any games you looking forward too rest of the year?

Matt Payne

Who is this AJ kid on tony khans mark out press sessions? Seems odd having a little kid on these media sessions nothing against him

Arturo Gonzalez III

1). Did last night’s NXT signal the beginning of a baby face run for Adam Cole? 2.) Are there any plans to bring back Thunder Rosa for upcoming shows on AEW? 3.) Will there be any changes to Survivor Series this year considering a potential draft may come before that PPV? Thank you sir!

Warren Hayes made an observation that I hadn’t seen before - saying Robert Stone on NXT was a bit of a parody of Tony Kahn. Now I can’t unsee it. What do you think?

Edgar M.

1.) I'm guessing Drew and Randy are headed towards a Hell in a Cell match. Assuming we get at least one more, who does Roman meet in the Cell? 2.) As everything stands right now, do you think John Cena will have a 17th World title reign before all is said and done? If so, who should he beat?

Eric Shepperd

1) How does dvr effect ratings? I can’t remember the last time I watched a live show, I dvr everything. Does that count towards ratings? 2) any word on how long Kross will be out? Does he require surgery? 3) do you think Adam Cole is going to the main roster?

Shawn Murray

My last question got skipped so I'll try again. Is Keith Lee in a program with top stars better or worst than him getting dominant wins against good opponents and staying away from the title picture untile he's actually going to win it? How would you feel about Keith Lee vs Lashley w/MVP for the world title? What would wwe have to do to make that a big program?

Raul Ortega

When do you believe we'll get the official debut of Retribution? Possibly at the main even of COC?

Matt Payne

How would you feel about starting a Fightful Fantasy Football league?

Skylar Russell

Thoughts on aew tay conti signing? They should scoop of Serena deeb and Nicole savoy too imo

Elaquent

Who do you feel will be the next AEW Women’s champion? I’d wait till Revolution personally, and give it to Anna Jay

Skylar Russell

What do you think the odds are of WOW finding a new home? Could/would they move to YouTube or Twitch?

Do you think nxt should use the thunderdome

Elaquent

This years A Block for the G1 feels like it could be the best block ever. Do you agree?

Skylar Russell

Who do you see Finn feuding with to lead towards the next Takeover?

Matt Payne
