Assuming Cena doesn’t win another world title, what male superstar do you think has the potential to break ric flairs record?

Passit2dj

I once asked in the Fightful forums in 2016 was Scotland punching above its weight with Wrestling talent. Insane Championship Wrestling held the biggest European independent show Fear and Loathing IX (card features Drew Galloway WWE, Joe Hendry ROH, Kay Lee Ray NXTUK, Team 3D WWE, Zach Gibson NXT UK Kenny William's NXT UK, Ricochet WWE, Wolfgang NXT UK, Trent Seven NXT UK, Bram, Grado, Kurt Angle WWE and Joe Coffey NXT UK). My question, what tier do I need to be on for you to do this as a retro review?

Which AEW Wrestler do you think will be the first to move to WWE?

If WWE could take one Wrestler from AEW who do you think they would take now?

What’s your opinion on Chad Johnson as a Bengals fan?

Frankie Aguilera

This will catch me heat but I hate Chuckie T, I feel like he drags down Trent, whom I love. Who is a team where you hated one guy and absolutely loved the other one?

Frankie Aguilera

Are the JBL comparisons to Jinder Mahal apt? I remember thinking JBL was a great villain when I was 11, but apparently all the adults hated his reign like we hated Jinder’s.

Frankie Aguilera

Do you like AEW announcing their whole Dynamite cards ahead of time? I love it and I can’t pinpoint why I don’t love it when WWE does it. I think it might because I know every match announced for Raw has no meaning at all.

Frankie Aguilera

AEW has been pretty consistently good since January, how/why are they so consistent?

Frankie Aguilera

Was Lugar winning the title in ‘97 a “palette cleanser”, so to speak? I’ve always wondered what his 8 day reign was about.

Frankie Aguilera

Would you consider pro wrestling a uniquely North American form of entertainment? To my knowledge, international pro wrestling came after it started in America.

Frankie Aguilera

Has Kevin Owens used the Steenilizer at all in WWE? Is it more or less taboo than the package piledriver?

Do you think WWE will ever be able to push someone that they support in the office and choose again and have them get over or have they established such bad will with the fans to where it will be rejected no matter who it is?

There were rumors that Io Sharai was maybe looking to go back to Japan. Do you think that was a factor in her winning the ladder match ao she could have her dream match against Charlotte?

anakinjmt

Since Brock isn’t champ right now do you think there is any chance Bobby gets his Brock match?

Passit2dj

Do you know if anyone in WWE has suggested other content other than in-ring matches for WWE tapings such as conference call/match commentaries with current or former superstars for key matches. i know you have suggested it a couple of times, but i feel it would make a great feature would still show matches with a crowd but add a different angle to them and would be fascinating. And if they still had to have empty arena matches it could help fill the void on some 3hr Raws

Chris Sully

Who would be the best fit to win the interim Cruiserweight title and what stipulation would you like to see the unification match be contested under? I'd love a ladder match ala Wrestlemania X especially as the cruiserweights don't get many stipulation matches

anakinjmt

Not a question if he will or won’t but should CM Punk return to wrestling? If so, where would he go and why?

Thomas Curry

What are your thought on special ring gear for Mania? I feel like it adds to the "big fight feel" and thought Seth/Rhea's stood out this year

Jake Schwall

How is Milwaukee perceived as far as being a wrestling town/market? Obviously big 4 ppvs aren't likely, but any chance they host a second tier ppv like MITB with the new-ish Fiserv Forum?

Jake Schwall

After campaign to win at the latest saaaaaaands of time are WWE done with Goldberg?

Swissroll Chris

I watched the Brawl for All on Dark Side of the Ring. Why do you think people get squashed so often when they get over on their own? Bart Gunn for winning or Zach Ryder for getting himself over organically as examples.

They keep saying Bayley’a current SmackDown Title reign is 300+ days (I don’t remember the exact number) but she lost the title to Charlotte for a few weeks before regaining it in October. What’s the deal with this? It doesn’t seem they’ve taken a reign off Charlotte’s total either.

Kristopher Bordine

You’re ruining this for other wrestling fans.

YOUNG BIBBY

I know I’m in the minority here, but Cena v Wyatt was the worst entertainment on the card. Woeful. Like clothes changes during the match..I’m genuinely lost for words. As bad as it gets?

Aidan O'Connell

I’m reliably told that edge V randyorton was the second longest match in the history of all Wrestlemania’s . Way too long?

Aidan O'Connell

So Goldberg V Strowman and McIntyre V Lesnar were near identical matches.. Don’t you think that took away from the matches a little?

Aidan O'Connell

What do you want to see out of this year of Wrestling now that it is basically a new season for WWE. As well as what you want out of other promotions.

Zachary Schemmel

Who should dethrone Becky? A returning Ronda, Bianca or Shayna?

Hannah

Do you think we will ever actually get the Sasha Bayley match?

Hannah

Why don't more major wrestling companies like AEW and NJPW use safety barriers like WWE does? Are they that costly?

Jim McShea

Have you heard if any wrestling companies are sharing information about the safety precautions that they are taking with each other?

Jim McShea

Do you think Rhea Ripley's work visa expiring was a big factor in Charlotte winning? Do you think they would have had Rhea retain otherwise?

anakinjmt

This is tough question.. watch AWA Superclash 3 with Matt Bevins or Bible Golf with Matt Bevins for 3 hours

Rob Wilkins

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of this, but would it be possible for Alex to offer a critical breakdown and analysis of the Firefly Funhouse match? I think he'd be uniquely suited to it.

Jim McShea

Who is someone that debuted in the aggression era, you thought would be a huge star but it never came to be. For me it was Chris Masters

Rob Wilkins

If 4 Horsewomen vs 4 Horsewomen MMA never happens in a WWE ring.. would that be a bigger mistake than never getting Roman vs Seth vs Dean

Rob Wilkins

Opinions on David Starr as a Wrestler (excluding backstage stuff)

Rob Wilkins

What is the proper definition in your opinion of a “good hand” in the wrestling biz.

Rob Wilkins

Do you think it would be a good idea for the WWE to develop a horror movie franchise around Bray Wyatt and The Fiend?

Jim McShea

Name a wrestler who has a reputation as a great in-ring performer but doesn’t have that classic match (or matches) that jumps out at you.

YOUNG BIBBY

Would you like for Mickie James to get one last run as champion? Do you think it will happen?

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you think Sammy Guevara would make for a good AEW TNT champion sometime?

YOUNG BIBBY

What do you think of Tessa's world title reign? Has putting the title on her led to a boost in Impact's ratings or engagement or what have you?

Max_MacKenzie338

Were you a fan of the solo-branded PPVs? Do you think they should come back?

YOUNG BIBBY

For me the only reason to care about Charlotte, is if they have her being a prick-like heel from 2016. I don’t understand why they change her role constantly.

YOUNG BIBBY

Kenny Omega vs. Bray Wyatt face off in DDP Pro. What is a wild stipulation and/or location that you would include to let these guys go all-out with their creativity?

Jim McShea

If WWE sticks with 2 nights of mania, would they try targeting baseball stadiums since they can get 40+k each night? Or is that too challenging with MLB being in season at that point?

Jake Schwall

Do you think WWE swerve us by having Nikki turn heel on Alexa and going back to the old character from NXT. We all thought Miz was going to turn on Shane, and it was the opposite.

YOUNG BIBBY

Were you a fan when the Bengals drafted John Ross?

YOUNG BIBBY

When do you think the next AEW PPV will happen after everything is back to normal?

YOUNG BIBBY

In your opinion, which wrestlemania absolutely sucked in person or watching at home.

YOUNG BIBBY

How much longer till the Sami Zayn stable disbands?

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you expect more NXT callups once crowds return and these Takeover matches are completed?

Jake Schwall

Who do you think would be good fits for a second Firefly Funhouse match?

What would be your opinion of Liv Morgan winning the women's money in the bank match and Aleister Black winning the men's money in the bank match?

We know that Charlotte's first title defense will be against the winner of the ladder match. Who do you think would be a good fit for her 2nd defense? And when should they pull the trigger on the rematch between her and Rhea?

If the plan is to continue the feud for Becky and Shayna, should the next match have a stipulation? If so, what would you like to see? ( I would like to see a submission match or a cage match.)

If the plan is to do MITB with no crowd, do you think that could play in to who they have win the briefcases?

How long should Bray Wyatt stay away from the title picture? How long do you think WWE is willing to wait on putting him in a title feud?

Do you think they should strip the US title from Andrade so they could put it on TV and do a tournament over the next few weeks?

Would Matt Riddle stand more of a chance getting a fight against Goldberg if Matt was 3 inches taller and 40lbs heavier? Or do you think he's not even a blip on Vince's radar at all for him to see the potential?

Graham Williams

Do you like Ziggler as a face or heel? He was a really good face IMO.

YOUNG BIBBY

How did WWE mess up on Shad’s heel run? He could have been a monster heel.

YOUNG BIBBY

What happened to Cryme Time? To me they were one of the best tag teams during that time.

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you think Miz/Morrison will break up again and feud?

YOUNG BIBBY

How much longer till 205 live and Main Event gets canceled?

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you think Baron Corbin will ever go back to the lone wolf character?

YOUNG BIBBY

Were you a fan of JBL’s cabinet back in the ruthless aggression? Did you think Orlando Jordan had potential?

YOUNG BIBBY

What possible “repackage” can they do to the IIconics? I think they are a better fit in NXT.

YOUNG BIBBY

Thoughts on Joey Janela?

YOUNG BIBBY

Is Alexa Bliss a good babyface? She got cheered anyway as a heel.

YOUNG BIBBY

U mofo

Fightful Select

What's your favorite top 5?

When do you think will be the next time we see Cena?

Marc Jones

Do you think Mandy or Sonya will ever win a singles title?

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you think Deonna Purrazzo would be a better fit on the main roster? Maybe Smackdown?

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you remember for a while on smackdown, when Chad Gable would take down notes after a backstage segment ended? What happened to that lol.

YOUNG BIBBY

What will it take for you to like/care for Humberto Carrillo? I was thinking of him being a “pretty boy” heel, who thinks is better than anyone, and who is an aggressive luchador. (Maybe even give him a manager).

YOUNG BIBBY

Besides Wade Barrett, two members of the nexus that I thought had potential were Curtis Axel and Justin Gabriel, why do you think they didn’t succeed in WWE?

YOUNG BIBBY

What do you think is next for Bray Wyatt?

anakinjmt

How long would you keep AJ Styles off TV?

anakinjmt

Where do you see Otis, Mandy, Ziggler, and Sonya going from here, both with feuds but also just for story? Do we see more of a relationship develope between Mandy and Otis?

anakinjmt

Were the talents instructed to grunt excessively throughout all of their matches? It became as comical as their overused slogans and nicknames by the end

What happened to the Riott Squad storyline?

YOUNG BIBBY

If Toni Storm were to get called-up, do you think Vince will like her and succeed in the main roster?

YOUNG BIBBY

Were you a fan of the New Breed stable from ECW?

YOUNG BIBBY

Were AJ Lee's storylines with the main event guys the most entertaining and best parts of WWE in 2012?

YOUNG BIBBY

You guys talked about matches that really needed a crowd. Are there any matches from Wrestlemania that weren't the Boneyard or Firefly Funhouse that you feel benefited more from not having a crowd?

anakinjmt

Drew and Brock. Are all Brock matches the same? You get 4 minutes, the same moves and the finishing moves of his opponents, kick outs, pinfall. Are Brock matches repetitive to you, SRS?

Aidan O'Connell

Do you know if Jeremy Borash and Jimi Paredyse were involved with the Boneyard and Firefly matches and if so, are they a key element for WWE if they want to make more Broken universe-esque filmmaking moving forward? They were heavily involved with the Impact/Matt Hardy stuff - would Vince see them as being a less creatively combative and opinionated option than Matt Hardy himself?

Graham Williams

John Cena and Bray Wyatt. This was a love or hate match. I don’t believe there was no middle ground. In terms of a wrestling match?I disliked it. What about you?

Aidan O'Connell

I personally feel the 2 nights of shorter shows enhanced the quality of Wrestlemania as a whole. Have you heard how it was received backstage or if they are already considering it again for the future?

Donnie K

Will WWE possibly use the current situation as an excuse to scale back on Live Events when everything begins to return to normal? Maybe only do 1 per week when they start back up?

Donnie K

Should Cedric and Ricochet have a mouth piece?

Passit2dj

Did you like the Metallica for the boneyard match or would you’ve preferred “You’re Gonna Pay” or “Rollin’”?

Which match had the most strong style wrestling ? In my opinion, Charlotte and Rhea beat the shit out of each other in the tradition Japanese way.

Joe B

Do you think Edge will compete for a title before he retires for good?

What do you think made it okay for Cole to use the Panama Sunrise in the past when it seemed like they were still pretty anti-piledriver
