SRS Q&A questions

Lol same

My dumb ass has to start setting reminders to ask lmao

Oops, didn’t see the closed! Sorry for the late post!

One idea that I’ve always loved is a tag team member “attacking” their partner to secure them the DQ win. Do you think this is a possibility going Raw with Sasha and Asuka, but with the unintended fallout of this being the rift between Sasha and Bailey leading to a champ vs champ match? I know this is outlandish, but it’s the first thing I thought when it was announced. Thank you Sean and Fightful!

As mentioned, we're not doing a Facebook group. We literally have PPV threads here.

Fightful Select

CLOOOOOOOOOSED

Fightful Select

1.Primetime Pro Wrestling I believe you had a role in the organisation SRS? I know we can’t talk about the above, but just wondering have you any interest in working in the background of another organisations. E.G Social Media, Ring Announcing. Behind the scenes , 2.i hear that you guys were close to putting out an Action Figure Podcast. Can I ask what was the plan? what approach were you taking? Sponsorship? Any chance going forward? 3 Any chance of a FIghtful FaceBook group where Patrons can chat and talk and discuss General thoughts, rumours, FIghtful shows and recent PPVs (Moderator, of course) I think the demand exists SRS

Aidan O'Connell

2. Hypothetically, if AJ knew how things would ultimately shake out between the Good Brothers and WWE, do you think he re-signs or leaves with them to join AEW?

Kristopher Bordine

1. If Beth and Mauro are calling NXT from home, where is Nigel?

Kristopher Bordine

1 - Have you heard anything about Impact starting a second show on AXStv? Specially a TNA branded one since Moose is still using that title. 2 - How excited are you for the baseball (shortened) season to actually start? 3 - With all the debuts/returns from Slammiversary and the first episode of Impact after it, do you think there will be any more coming in the upcoming weeks or have they already revealed everyone?

Dobby_TheBrain

Do you think Kylie Rae beats Deonna Purazzo for the title

Shawn Garner

1. Was the eye for an eye match supposed to be Live all along or did they just not have time to get a full cinematic match? I feel like it would have been better as a cinematic. Even if they went live, and the match spilled backstage and "turned" cinematic to get a better ending? 2. Commentary mentioned Street Profits are longest reigning Raw Tag Champs since branding them. How do you rate the run, and how/who do you see it ending? 3. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm newer to Impact and loving it, but I know they turned from TNA to Impact, but I'm a little confused on them running TNA belts at the same time since they mentioned Moose isn't a "real champion". Can you explain what's going on there? I know you've mentioned TNA invasions recently. Thanks for everything SRS! These shows are really awesome. SO much great content. As an on and off fan over the last 20+ years, I've learned so much more about the whole process of wrestling in the last year since I started following you guys. FIGHTFUL WORLD ORDER! #FWO

Ray Callahan Jr

2 Who do you see winning next monday Sasha or Asuka

Shawn Garner

1 Do you think we will ever see Charly Caruso wrestle against Zelina Vega

Shawn Garner

1.). Who would you like the main men and women’s title matches to be at SummerSlam? 2.). Do you think Tony Khan harping on the Demo’s on Twitter every week is a bit of a turnoff? They should just focus on growing their show organically? 3.). Thoughts on how the Lio Rush/Finn Balor beef was handled by Lio last weekend?

JJ

If AEW were to do a show in the UK would they show it live for UK people? Is there even a percent of a chance that jason jordan could come back?

Cameron Hutton

1) Is the second show for AEW still in the works or have you heard about it being paused it called off all together. 2) Is NWA getting closer to putting any type of new content out? 3) Anything on ROH and their potential return to filming?

1. Following up from a question last week who do you think would be the best choices to join the Undisputed Era from the NXT Women's division? 2. Do you think we will see a clean finish next week for Sasha vs Asuka? 3. Not a question but a statement: Everyone at Fightful has been great and have made me enjoy wrestling so much more since joining select. Keep up the great work SRS and the rest of the amazing Fightful team!

No real question this week. Just wanted to say thanks for getting the interviews up on the podcast feed so quick. I asked last week and a day or 2 later they were there. Those little things matter and will keep subscribers.

1) on the optimistic side, we get large open air venues in the Spring. Would you like to see baseball stadium shows become more common? Any favorite stadiums you’d like to see? 2) what would be the most logical storyline based way for WWE to consolidate some of their titles? Unification matches? retirements? 3) Does WWE have a set number of PPV or Networks specials they must met, or does Vince decided when to have them?

Hunner Gaskins

Hey SRS, 1. can you bring me up to speed why networks and advertisers care more about the 18-49 demo? 2. Do you think nxts demographic has changed much in the last year or so? 3. How would you handle sammy guevaras return to TV? Does he address his suspension or pretend nothing happened? Feels like there's risks to how they handle it.

Ben Williams

Over the weekend Jessica Eye posted a video on Instagram of her in a wrestling ring doing a body slam on someone. Do you know if she is actively looking to make a career switch from MMA to wrestling?

MickOrAstroMick

Do you think Good Brothers working with Impact and New Japan could see more wrestlers from Impact potentially ending up working there, too? If so, who would you like to see from the Impact roster make the move? I'm thinking the North and The Rascalz would be good.

Graham Williams

1. Who produces the foreign language announce teams and do they have any oversight if they go into business for themselves? 2. Who aggregates the Fightful stories on Reddit? Is there a way to block paid content from select from being posted. 3. Do companies every contact you asking for source names and how difficult is it keeping them private?

Frankie Aguilera

Any updates on the ROH management situation or proposed tapings?

Shane Richardson

With AEW having more known names can NXT bring either a Shinsuke Nakamura or Sammy Zyn over to help offset names like Adam Cole and possibly Dominik Dijakovic moving over(main roster) to really help in the ratings war?

Jay Cain

With all things quiet on the Tessa Blanchard are we to assume that some deal has been worked out with WWE and can WWE use Tessa Blanchard's star power on NXT to combat AEW

Jay Cain

Hey SRS I am new to Fightful and I love it with Bully Ray's contract with ROH expired will WWE make an offer either NXT or main roster?

Jay Cain

1) Any idea if WWE or AEW are doing the extensive cleaning of the ring between matches during tapings like NJPW is doing during their shows? 2) Ali’s return to TV had me looking back at his 2019.. if he doesn’t suffer the eye injury against Orton, does he get as big of a push as Kofi did as his substitute and would Kofi have ended up having the chance for that Wrestlemania moment and consequent title run? 3) With baseball starting back up this week, what is your all time Reds and overall baseball memory? As a Brewers fan, the NL Central should be quite fun this year

Jake Schwall

Are the UE getting called up during summerslam being that Adam Cole lost the title? Are there plans to bring anymore talent from main down to nxt?

Carlos

I know I have asked about about GFW tapes before. Even though it happened in the past, wouldn't this be a great time to somehow come out with that footage to show something that has never been seen, being a different promotion, and in front of fans? Obviously though, it seems like there is still legal issues with it being seen.

Reid Greenspan

I have not really heard much about Kelly Klein lately. Any word on what she may do next?

Reid Greenspan

Was it just me, or did it seem like Brian Cage blew up during the Moxley match? It really seemed like he slowed down quite a bit.

Reid Greenspan

1. Do you think impact and aew could have a working relationship? 2. Were there other reasons factoring into paul heyman firing beyond just the aj heat? 3. Will Finn balor ever do the demon gimmick again? It’s felt like years since last seen

Elaquent

Do you think Charlotte will get a run in the tag team division? I think it would be a fresh use of her to continue to elevate that division, as well as the women in it, who could then go on to be credible singles championship challengers.

Dev W.

Everyone is hype for a potential Sasha Banks vs. Bayley match at SummerSlam, but given that Nikki and Alexa (and occasionally Lacey) are the only other SmackDown women that are consistently used, where do either of those women go after that feud ends?

Dev W.

Is the Universal Championship the least prestigious world championship in mainstream wrestling right now? From getting crapped on during the belt's introduction to the abhorrent booking, I find it hard to care about the title.

Dev W.

Do you ever get bored or frustrated, as a wrestling journalist, by the fact that WWE's problems pretty much all stem from the whims of a single guy in Vince McMahon? I'm a TV critic, and I know that if the television industry's faults all came down to one elderly dude's decisions I'd lose my mind.

Sean T. Collins

In your opinion is Bruce Prichard doing a good job on Raw and SD?

ali bazzi

Do you think Braun should vacate the Universal title after being thrown into the lake? I think he should disappear and when he comes back he reunites with Bray after being thrown into the lake of reincarnation.

ali bazzi

1) Does NJPW have plans to record more Lions Collision episodes? 2) Do you think Cody holds the TNT title until Darby finally beats him? 3) More probable show for Omega/Page split, All Out or Dynamite 1 year anniversary?

Kevin Steets

1. Is Bruce Prichard’s involvement in both RAW and Smackdown permanent or is someone else going to end up being a show runner for one of the brands? 2. Any news on The Undisputed Era breaking up or going to RAW or Smackdown? There is not much left for them to do in NXT as an act. 3. How do you see Braun Strowman’s title reign ending and why on earth have a champion not defending the title on a PPV?

Brian Bayless

how would you re debut Roman Reigns? Him being away for awhile could be the perfect time to remove the shield memories that are associated with him.

Trey Willier

Hi Sean did you watch the Jeff Hardy Chronicle and what did you think?

ali bazzi

1. Just might be me having to much faith in WWE booking but what happened Monday to Alister Black could that almost have him Turning from the white knight into the dark knight where he is now going after people who should’ve helped him when Seth and buddy attacked him essentially starting a heel turn. 2. Has drew had the best post wrestlemania run with a world championship since Daniel Bryan? 3. Not a wrestling question but I’m a Huge LSU fan and this past season was amazing so are you excited to see Joe Burrow play in Cincinnati ?

Zach Conner

Kevin Steets

3) Whats the latest with Velveteen Dream?

Oliver

2) Who would your pick be for the next woman to go into the WWE HOF? I have my fingers always crossed for Molly Holly

Oliver

1) Where has Bo Dallas been? He’s a guy who should be back on NXT tv if he’s not gonna be paired with his brother

Oliver

1.Would you be ok with Sasha & Bayley holding all the gold until the Royal Rumble? 2. If Sasha & Bayley DO have a match, would you want it for a title or no? 3. I consider these( In no particular order) to be the Major Wrestling Corporations, A. WWE B. AEW C. Impact D. AAA E. NJPW F. ROH Even in the cultural situation the world is in these days I feel this is that greatest time to be a Wrestling fan. Your thoughts on this bud. P.s. this originally started as a rankings question but I made it work I think. Lol

Drakkon_CM

1. How much longer do you think Drew McIntyre’s reign will last? 2. Who do you see Bray Wyatt feuding with after SummerSlam? 3. If they do Asuka/Shayna at SummerSlam, who should win?

Big V Wit Da Big D

1) Is Jeff Hardy likelier to make a run at the IC or Universal Title? 2) Is there anyone currently or not currently employed with WWE that would be a good mouthpiece for Ricochet? Thank you sir!

1. How many changes were made to the RAW script before going live this Monday and if you know any more details on this, please provide them? 2. Cody Garbrandt just said he wants to go down to 125 and fight Figueredo. What do you think of this move, how realistic is it and if the fight was to occur, who you got? I'm always with Cody No love but seeing Figuerdo in that get up with the designer shirt, sunglasses and the hand wrap on before the fight last weekend was so cool. 3. I have constantly heard this one line from Bryan Alvarez "suspend my belief" when talking about matches and i initially agreed with the idea but now its becoming pretty clear and evident that he has a bias in my opinion. What do you think of the "suspend my disbelief" ideology when it comes to wrestling and also do you think he has a bias?

1. Any idea how goofy the CGI ending of the Eye for an Eye match was? 2. Will we be seeing more unhinged Kenny Omega in AEW? Or is that mostly sticking to a BTE bit 3. Any word on what Drew’s choice for the stipulation might be?

Eric Shepperd

1. Better WWE career/resume Miz or Dolph Ziggler? 2. Who in AEW has stand out since the pandemic? 3. Do you think Candice Lerae will be the one to take the title of Io Shirai?
