Could dom be more intimidating if he wore a mask?

Passit2dj

So Sugar Dunkerton is consistently in the crowd and had his moment with Jericho, but is there more there for him? Hope so.

Bryan D'Ambra

Is there a reason the Distraction TEW series isn’t available on podcast feeds, specifically Apple Podcasts? It’s hard for me to find time to watch an hour long YouTube video so listening to the audio versions while I’m working just works better

Kristopher Bordine

Do you think WWE will ever have trump appear on one of their programs again? Or do you think they’ve been trying to avoid that happening.

Omar S.

What matchup would you pick right now to main event summerslam?

Omar S.

1. With Charlotte not really helping in ratings are they still trying to push her as the face of wwe 2. Should Becky make a cameo at WrestleMania 37 or wait until royal rumble 2022 for her return 3. Who will bring up Seth’s child to him first in a storyline 4. Would a 4hw faction work who should they feud with 5. Know of any new documentaries in works at the moment 6. Is there really heat on nia Jax after all her botches what steps should wwe take to prevent them from happening 7. When Becky Lynch return do you think she would go back in the same spot she was at the top or will she be treated like many other superstars that leave because of injury and drop down on the card 8. Who should stop Seth’s reign of terror one of his disciples or someone else 9. Nothing to with wrestling have you played The Last of Us or any other single player game

Perla Bernache

Have you heard of any lower tier NXT Wrestlers that may be on the radar for a call up, similar to people like Elias, Braun etc?

As an Englishman with zero interest in the NFL id never heard of Rob Gronkowski until his Mania appearance with Mojo. Does WWE consider the 1st W in their name when bringing in these ‘mainstream’ stars or do they just focus more on recognisable names in the North American market? And do these people like Gronk that they bring in generate much in the way of ‘mainstream’ reaction and buzz in America?

Q3: How do you deal with the folks at Wrestletalk/Quizzlemania for stacking the deck against you? Conspirators!

Jonathan Stone

Q2: If Cole goes to AEW where would he be on the card?

Jonathan Stone

Q1: Any thoughts on if Adam Cole is more interested in re-signing with WWE or re-join the Elite in AEW when his contract is up?

Jonathan Stone

Only 4 hours in and already 115 comments. That’s impressive everyone!

Passit2dj

Who would you prefer FTR take titles from Kenny/Page or Young Bucks? I think that FTR vs Kenny/Page would be off the hook

Manuel Rosales

Can Sammy Guevara legit not sing Judas or he is bad on purpose? Thank you for your time, Mr. Donglord, sir.

Nights

Is Mercedes Martinez injured? She hasn't been on in what seems like months

anakinjmt

What upside does Tegan Nox have with her injuries? I think she’s great, her selling just looks goofy sometimes like there should be a BOING sound effect lol.

Frankie Aguilera

All the shows look and sound the same. Is this consciously done for uniformity or ease of set-up?

Frankie Aguilera

Are you usually privy to when they’re filming a documentary like Last Ride?

Frankie Aguilera

Is it just me or did Raw and Smackdown do a complete flip flop? Raw feels soooo stale and Smackdown seemingly has a lot of fresh match-ups.

Frankie Aguilera

Is it safe to assume the “shake-up” has been moved to the fall?

Frankie Aguilera

Why wasn’t there a draft in 2003 and why did they decide to do one in 2004?

Frankie Aguilera

Was Sammy Guevara ever on WWE’s radar? I second Jimmy’s opinion that the panda hat stuff was stupid but he is doing great stuff now

Frankie Aguilera

Are you surprised the Ultimate X match hasn’t been used/re-invented since?

Frankie Aguilera

Why did they only book the 6-man hell in a cell once?

Frankie Aguilera

I can’t put my finger on what it is, but something has changed with NXT. It doesn’t feel the same as in its glory days or even two years ago. Any insight/thoughts?

Dev W.

This Finn Balor is a main event character, are there any plans to bring him back up?

Frankie Aguilera

Thank you Sean for all the entertainment, every video you put out puts a smile on my face.

ali bazzi

When Papa H takes over WWE who takes over Nxt?

ali bazzi

Why did Roman stop coming through the crowd for his entrance?

Passit2dj

Who do you see taking the world titles from Drew and Braun?

ali bazzi

Do you think Roman Reigns on Nxt would work? Looking at the Smackdown ratings they haven't really been affected with Reigns leaving and Nxt could really use his star power.

ali bazzi

Do you care about PPV logos and match graphics? It bothers me they still use the same Summerslam logo from 2014.

ali bazzi

Is Bray Wyatt taking time off after the birth of his child?

ali bazzi

Which Backlash match are you most excited for?

ali bazzi

Is there a female on smack down raw or nxt that could benefit from having a male superstar/manager? Someone like mvp possibly

Passit2dj

What is a way to make Champion vs. Champion matches feel special again? They rarely ever seem to carry the weight that they could/should.

Dev W.

do you think AEW should introduce a trios title at some point

e d

Any update on Xavier woods recovery?

Passit2dj

Is Cody doing open challenges with the tnt title going to be different than John cenas us open challenge?

Passit2dj

With takeover on Sunday, what match are you looking forward to most?

Magan Yusuf

Now that the TNT title official exists do you think wwe will attempt to make the us/intercontinental more important than they currently are?

Passit2dj

With Impacts limited TV do you think any of their top level women such as Jordynne Grace or Tessa will leave for WWE or AEW when their contracts expire for the opportunity at more exposure?

Mark Hebert

Do you know of any talents that are being considered for NXT from the main roster to help offset the loss of talent?

5. When fightfulselect.com integrates into the website are there shows or ideas you have talked about that you want to provide that you aren't now and as someone who will no doubt follow you there and subscribe could you give a little tease or taste of what's to come?

4. With YouTube kind of getting in its own way and the NWA relying heavily on a TV network type scheduling, where they have broadcasts or uploads daily of new content, how long do you think NWA stays on that platform? Have you heard if they are looking at moving to something else or shopping for a deal on TV?

3. In your opinion with the flux of free agents out there do you see a resurgence or renaissance for ROH or MLW?

If the New Day decided they didn’t want to work with Forgotten Sons because of Ryker’s tweet, would that get them Heat with the office or are they at a place where they can almost “call their own shot” so to speak

Kristopher Bordine

2. It seems like Jason Jordan is getting mentioned a lot more by current RAW roster members as being a big part in the development of characters and angles, have you heard if that's him taking initiative or is that something the higher-ups are feeding him to groom him for a bigger role down the road?

Conrad recently told Bischoff on their show that Bruce Prichard was really high on Matt Riddle when Bruce was working for MLW. Do you know if Bruce was a driving force in getting Matt called up to SmackDown?

Kristopher Bordine

What are you thinking about the booking of the TNT title as far as how many times it switches hands? On the one hand I want it to be sort of like the NEVER title, but using it as a platform to build people up is probably better

Bryan D'Ambra

Whenever Simone Johnson is ready for TV, she's sure to face an uphill battle with viewers. What do you think would be the best way to introduce her? For me, starting as a heel would be the best option

anakinjmt

1. I am wondering if you have heard any rumblings or talks about Indie Promotions putting on shows or looking to put on shows and what dates they might be talking about if they are?

Do you know if WWE has had any talks with talent that they’ve released about returning?

Rob Wilkins

8. Who would you have Dominik Dijakovic feud with on RAW to start? Or could you see him team up with a superstar and help out the tag team division?

7. Is the Undisputed Era going to get a call up anytime soon? Or do you think they are better suited in NXT as they don't fit Vince's main mold of a gigantic superstar?

Do you think Lorcan and Birch could be tag champions on Raw or Smackdown at some point.

6. Is there any word about another King of the Ring or an NXT Breakouts tournament this year? Seems like Baron "King" Corbin has run that gimmick as far as it will go, but the Breakout tournament had a lot of quality matches.

If dream wins Sunday, do you think they will let Cole feud further with him till SummerSlam, and if not do you think the Undisputed Era will be called up later this year?

Who are the scouts for AEW in regard to talent acquisition and do they use a similar style that WWE uses when it comes to scouting

Rob Wilkins

5. Is there anyone the WWE is kicking themselves over about releasing them? I think Taynara Conti, Deonna Purrazzo and Lio Rush could have been superstars if given the proper pushes.

Daniel Bryan on backstage, with Renee and Punk. Was asked who he would wanna face and he is excited to face, Dijack, Lee and Riddle came to mind. If you had to book Bryan with one of them what would be the stakes and what would be the results.

4. Should we expect to see Charlotte on every WWE TV show for the foreseeable future? And have you heard anything about her possibly dropping the title to Io or Ripley soon.

With Riddle in smackdown, what does WWE have planned for Thatcher? And should they put Lumas in a feud with him?

What happened with Vic Joseph to fall out of favor with the powers that be?

Rob Wilkins

3. Will we see regular crowds at wrestling events in Florida anytime soon now that they are starting to reopen events to the general public?

If you had to start a twitch show of your own, and fightful wasn't part of it. What would be the first game you would play and why?

2. Is Liv Morgan going to get the push everyone expected earlier this year?

1. What would you do to improve the tag team division? The Street Profits and Viking Raiders skits are god awful.

1. Have you heard of there being anymore call ups other than Riddle, Dijak, and Chelsea Green? 2. Who do you see being the most benefited by the call ups on the men side in NXT? 3. When do you think Mia Yim will be called up, it feels like she's reached her peak in NXT, and what do you think her ceiling is on the main roster? 4. Do you think we could see Scarlett as an in ring talent or will she be a valet/manager? 5. Do you think we could see NXT use other In Your House PPVs? 6. With Tony Khan saying that AEW will feature Womens death matches, what would be the most sensible first match?

Any reason why there is a 2 week break between episodes of the Taker documentary?

Jake Schwall

1. Is Shayna Bayzler injured at the moment? Not appeared on Raw the last few weeks. 2. Do you think AEW debuts are getting abit predictable and such takes away any surprise e.g FTR and Matt Hardy?

Ricochet seemed to indicate on Twitter than he could come to Aleister Black's aide against Seth and his disciples. Would you enjoying see Black, Cedric, and Ricochet in a program with Seth, Theory, and Murphy?

Michael Grooms

If it EVER happens in this decade, do you think Sasha should be the one to turn on Bayley to start their feud or should Bayley be the one to turn on Sasha?

Michael Grooms

A) With the increasing popularity of women’s wrestling, could we ever see the rise of a televised all women’s promotion? B) Could the women’s divisions of WWE or AEW ever become their primary division?

Dev W.

1. Who would you book to be all the title holders coming out of next years Mania? (Both world titles, IC and US, both Women’s) 2. Do you know of any reason at all why Cesaro hasn’t been given a world title run? He’s one of the best and safest workers in the company and seems to be trusted a lot with having great matches??

Georgia Smith is a great person. Can you see her returning to wrestling? Talented?

Aidan O'Connell

I discovered your stuff through Quizzelmania, i was wondering has there been any significant traffic coming your way ever since your debut on that show?

I have enjoyed your stints on Quizzelmania. Since you lost recently, do you think you would go back anytime soon?

Have there been any Impact or WWE segments that have caused direct network/sponsorship blowback?

Dev W.

Realistically how many months till Rey’s son Dominick is in the ring??

Aidan O'Connell

Do you ever think Cesaro could pull a McIntyre and leave WWE to make himself bigger star or do you see him as a WWE Lifer?

Michael Grooms

What do you consider to be Randy Orton's greatest match?

Michael Grooms

I’m a huge Billie Kay fan -looking at her action figure and signed photo. She’s flying at the moment. How high do you see her ceiling??

Aidan O'Connell

Would you start liking Humberto Carillo if he turns heel and teams up with Angel Garza or the other way around because there certainly exists a great story there?

The US title has really lost value in my opinion. Can Apollo give it value..

Aidan O'Connell

Has a Queen of the Ring gimmick ever been pitched?

Dev W.

Which Big NXT star right now do you think the main roster will end up burying?

Seth’s back up /team-Murphy and Theory, are they really glorified jobbers with him??

Aidan O'Connell

Is it inevitable that MJF will fight Cody for the TNT Title or will he go after Moxley’s Heavyweight Title first?

Dobby_TheBrain

Is there a reason the Rock hasn’t gone into the Hall of Fame, yet? Seems like a glaring omission.

Dev W.

Do you think any top AEW star would ever go to WWE?

Where do you think the Allie and QT Marshall storyline is going? It is sort of hard to get behind since we know Allie and Braxton Sutter are together. I am wondering if Allie is eventually trying to lure Natural Nightmares in to go against Butcher and the Blade.

Reid Greenspan

I’ve started watching Backstage and The Bump, the guests are top class, particularly with the Bump. Do you watch either or both?

Aidan O'Connell

How can AEW have Moxley beat Cage at Fyter Fest and still keep Cage looking strong?

Dobby_TheBrain

Who do you consider some of the top commentators and worst? Personally, I think Taz, Mauro, Graves, and Joe Galli are some good ones... I think Josh Matthews is one of the worst... he just yells constantly for th entire show

What are your views on the Jon Jones - Dana White situation?

Of the talents shown in the teaser video for Slammiversary, which do you think may actually sign and show up for the ppv?

Dobby_TheBrain

Do you think that WWE has a ton of unreleased footage behind the scenes that no one has ever seen that will eventually get shown to people?

Reid Greenspan

Do yoy think Conor McGregor deserves a title shot at either 155 or 170?

With the Black Lives Matter movement finally gaining global traction, is it time for WWE to take a look at how they book their black talent?

Dev W.

You tweeted a while back about wishing the women's Wrestlemania battle royal being named the Sensational Invitational. Do you think it would be better suited to be named after Sherri instead of Chyna?

anakinjmt

Do you think Impact is going to bring back the Knockouts Tag Titles?

Dobby_TheBrain

I feel like the word "Coward" is way overused in pro wrestling nowaways. Do you feel like this as well? Not sure why they cannot use many other adjectives or phrases instead of Coward.

Reid Greenspan

Based on your success on quizzlemania, have you thought about doing something similar on fightful but with fans or select subscribers perhaps?

Nate Cummings

When are you gonna beat up RJ City?

Safe to say Lance Archer is doing better in AEW than he was in WWE. Was WWE wrong though for cutting him loose and telling him to go to Japan, or do you think he would not have been successful in WWE regardless?

anakinjmt

Are you ever disappointed that you find out things ahead of time (match results, etc.) or do you just consider part of the job?

Mark Hebert

I asked you a year ago SRS, what would be the reaction and consequences of a wrestler coming out and saying they are taking an anti depressant ..

Aidan O'Connell

Is Moxley still contracted to New Japan? If he is, would he be able to defend the AEW title there? I know Jericho wasn't able to but it seems things are better between AEW and New Japan management since then

anakinjmt

What are your thoughts on Impact signing significant others of some of their top stars? There's been enough recently to take notice... if you deserve it, no problem with it... Taya deserves it... Neveah, probably not... Not a fan of Daga, but he's most-likely there to keep Tessa happy... not trying to be negative, but there's been some questionable ones

I may be reading into this too much. It seems like the logo that said BOOM on the wall at the crossfit center that Undertaker was using in The Last Ride seems to be very similar to the BOOM logo that Colt Cabana uses on his gear. Does it just look similar or is there more to this?

Reid Greenspan

Are there any wrestlers you legitimately consider a friend? (You don't have to name them). Is it challenging to be a legit friend while still being objective and being critical when they have a bad match or promo? Not sure I could do it so I give you all the respect in the world for being able to do so

anakinjmt

AEW has shown PPVs can still sell. As unlikely as it is, could you see WWE ever doing one that's not on the Network? Maybe not a normal monthly show unless it's Wrestlemania but a one-off special like what One Night Stand was supposed to be?

anakinjmt

I'm surprised the Rockers haven't been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Any idea why not?

anakinjmt

So the email to all talent states 24/7 Mental Health counselling, do you see a stigma attached to anyone known to be attending counselling?

Aidan O'Connell

How are WWE PPV names decided? Very curious how Great Balls of Fire made the final cut!

Dev W.

What do you think the future holds for Matt Riddle and have you heard any plans or bookings with regards to him? Big fan of your work. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

1. Do you know of any backstage reasons why Shinsuke Nakamura never won the WWE Championship from Jinder or AJ? I’m curious lol. 2. When do you think Toni Storm gets called up to the Main Roster? And do you think she has a bright future there? 3. Is R-Truth a HOF? 4. Do you think Penelope Ford or Kip Sabian ever hold championships in AEW? 5. Why do you think Aces & Eights didn’t work out in TNA? 6. Who is a bigger star in your opinion between Darby Allin and MJF? 7. Who has been a better champion between Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley? 8. Is Vince still high on Lacey Evans? 9. Do you think Survivor Series will include NXT this year? 10. I remember Ziggler being over with the crowd from 2013-2016, why didn’t they view him as a top guy? How come they didn’t give him the Bryan/Kofi storyline of overcoming the odds to finally winning the big one and having a lengthy run?

YOUNG BIBBY

How long do you think a company, like AEW for instance, would need to be in business in order to have to make sense to establish its own network?

Reid Greenspan

Do you feel like Brian Cage now is similar to how the younger version of Scott Steiner was, as far as athleticism and move set?

Reid Greenspan

What’s going on with Kurt Angle. Is he on some Pro Bono / do they regret releasing him?

Aidan O'Connell

Do you think the hockey glass surrounding the barricades is going to be a permanent thing once regular crowds resume?

Shawn Murray

Is there a wrestler from any timeframe in history that you want to learn more about that you may not know much about now?

Reid Greenspan

How would you get some momentum behind Ruby Riott at this point?

Dom Lamartina

Do you think the phoenix suplex is the most dangerous move in wrestling and did kota ibushi invent it?

Reid Greenspan

What have you heard about Jon Jones? Do you think his recents comments about asking to be out of his contract and giving up the title are just a ploy by him, or do you really think he is done fighting in UFC?

Do you think Tyson will actually throw a punch (punches) against Jericho?

Aidan O'Connell
