Which Mania match that hasn’t been rumored/announced would you like to see?

JJ

If you were a independent wrestler, based on almost everything except for money, name the top 5 places you would sign. Use things like Locker Room Environment, Schedule, Creative-Freedom, Name Brand/Value, etc

Skylar Russell

Rank your favorite top 5 Independent Wrestlers at the moment

Skylar Russell

Are you going to SummerSlam this year?

Aidan O'Connell

Would you ever go to Saudi to cover the show etc ?

Aidan O'Connell

Are you surprised vince is absent most fridays seeing as how much fox is paying and that he wants smackdown to be the main brand? Is he still giving the yays or nays by phone a lot do you think?

Ben Williams

Which wwe wrestlers that you know of turned down 'sands of time' for moral reasons?

Ben Williams

How are you liking having shorter hair again?! Are you going to grow it again?

Ben Williams

You suggested a few weeks ago that you think nxt viewers will eventually pick up. Do you see that being at the expense of AEW or do you think both shows will flourish? Do you have any predictions on if there will be an eventual wednesday night war winner?

Ben Williams

Who do you think turns heel (if anyone) in the young bucks/omega/hangman story?

Ben Williams

Also, do you see this show as being a likely place to show a lot of their vignesttes and backstage material and dynamite doesnt deviate from the ring much?

Ben Williams

What night do you think the planned second aew show will be on TNT?

Ben Williams

So there’s a handful of days left in February and at time of writing you guys are11 shy of the big 500 Subs (26 Feb) My guesstimate is 500 by the middle of next week, March 3. What’s your own guess. Will there be a new target and goal??

Aidan O'Connell

Is there a relationship between WWE and Gold Gyms? There seems to be a certain amount of stars who own a Gold and plenty who use them. Convenience or link??

Aidan O'Connell

Any plans for Wrestlemania as in interviews lined up

Aidan O'Connell

Hypothetically, If AEW ever runs a Baseball or Football Stadium, Where would it be? Not counting TIAA Stadium

Evan B

If next year we got more of those awesome movie parodies leading into Wrestlemania, what movies would you like to see them cover and who would be in the roles? Personally I'd find it funny if Miz picked a John Cena movie, maybe even the first Marine. That'd be funny on a few different levels

anakinjmt

Any wrestlers you used to think didn't have the ring skills up to snuff with their opponents yet but looking back now they actually did? I recently rewatched the women's championship match at Survivor Series 2001 where Trish won the title for the first time and was amazed at how well she was holding her own against Jacqueline, Ivory, Molly Holly, Jazz, and Lita

anakinjmt

With Shayna on RAW now, what would you have Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir do now? They definitely need to stay in NXT for a while longer, but I fear without Shayna they'll lose direction or even airtime due to how stacked NXT's women's roster is

anakinjmt

Any idea on Samoa Joe's suspension as far as the discrepancy between when WrestleVotes reported it would happen and when it actually was announced? I know people gave him a lot of flack for it, even though he issued an apology and retraction, but it's weird to me that he reported it, and a month later it actually happens

anakinjmt

What are your thoughts on the Ruthless Aggression series so far? Would you consider doing a review on the series so far?

Swissroll Chris

Also as breather question from all this wrestling talk, What did you have for lunch today?

Evan B

Do you have any insight into how ring equipment is transported through the week? On the off days, say between Tuesday-Thursday, does it get sent back to Connecticut or do they rent a local storage place?

Frankie Aguilera

Hey SRS, I have a 2 weird questions that go together. If WWE or AEW offered him some good money, Could Logan Paul, even as a one-off, sign and become a pro wrestler? and if so could be a difference maker in terms of making WWE or AEW more popular with his very successful YouTube Channel?

Evan B

Is there any particular reason the hard camera in wrestling promotions seems to always be on the right side of the arena (relative to the entrance set)? I thought for sure AEW was going to rip off early Nitro for having the hard cam on the left.

Frankie Aguilera

Because you watch and review both Wednesday shows at the same time, do you find it harder to enjoy them as a fan than if you could watch them separately? And do you go back and re-watch them after the fact?

Frankie Aguilera

What do you think of Ibushi and Tanahashi winning the HW tag titles and do you think NJPW deserves the same criticism as WWE of throwing together two singles guys because they have nothing for them?

Frankie Aguilera

AEW has obviously taken inspiration from previous promotions, what can you see that they’ve taken from 80s NWA, 90s WCW, and 2000s TNA?

Frankie Aguilera

Could you or have you tried to interview EC3 since he’s been on the main roster?

Frankie Aguilera

Is it just me or is NJPW Jon Moxley better than AEW Jon Moxley? If you agree, why is that?

Frankie Aguilera

Are you enjoying 3 months between AEW PPVs? I think their ability to tell stories for so long between PPVs is underrated. If MJF vs Cody was in WWE they’d be going on their 4th match in a 3 month feud by now.

Frankie Aguilera

Vader for the HOF. Assuming yes, guess the year? I say 2/3 more..

Aidan O'Connell

Do you believe in CTE. Assuming yes, what do you begin with for your own personal safety if you’re now active on the roster..

Aidan O'Connell

I think Otis has a genuine talent and likability. Agree?!

Aidan O'Connell

Do the sands of time shows and the hastily thrown together matches and storylines further cheapen and hurt the continuity process of wwe writing?

Shawn Murray

Not that you’ve appeared on the show for things you’ve said, but what would it take for you to appear on Russo’s castrating the marks podcast unlike guys like Mitchell Keller and meltzer? Not in a clip but to discuss marks, whether it be a charitable donation or other

Arturo Gonzalez III

Any idea what plans WWE has for Shayna Baszler? Pushing a 39 year old woman is, unfortunately, fairly uncharted territory for the company.

Jeffrey Elliott

Anyone we haven’t seen who you’d like to see interviewed by Stone cold..

Aidan O'Connell

Just over 31 years ago, the mega powers exploded. Can we even begin to estimate the amount of fans today who became fans then. Are you one?

Aidan O'Connell

Assuming Becky vs Shayna is what's happening at Mania, what are the chances Ronda shows up to help her friend and get revenge on Becky?

anakinjmt

Which do you think is more ideal: Mox defeating Jericho at Revolution and then retaining the title at Double or Nothing? Or Mox losing to Jericho at Revolution, then getting a rematch, and becoming the new champion at Double or Nothing?

Sheila Antonio

Do you think that there is/was longevity in the Fiend's gimmick. Obviously, they have done everything they can to mess it up, but I wonder how long the Fiend could have stayed over.

Jeffrey Elliott

Does AEW have any plans for Shawn Spears? He's barely on TV. After that chair shot he put on Cody I thought he'd be one of the biggest heels in the company.

Eric Esposito

Charlotte is one best athlete that ever step inside a wwe ring,but since her call up she only been in triple threat matches at mania granted there are only been four that she competed (32,33,35) she only been in one singles match vs Asuka (34) and now they might add Bianca Belair to the match,why do you think she only compete in triple threat matches and not as much single matches at mania (sorry my frist language is Spanish)

Tino Lukac

Do you have a preferred jam while working out?

Jim McShea

What is your favorite scoop that you've gotten?

Jim McShea

I know we're still more than a year away from his contract being up, but do you think Daniel Bryan has one last indie run in him, similar to what Mox has been doing?

Jim McShea

Is there still issues between wwe and rusev? I thought it may have gotten sorted out when he was set to appear at the Saudi show but then he was removed.

e d

Do you have a quick breakdown of how the creative on Raw works these days? Does Heyman book the show based on broad directions from Vince? We hear about Heyman "guys," but how much control does he have in pushing them?

Jeffrey Elliott

Did you catch cody's post match promo in Atlanta? Is there a better baby face in all of wrestling right now?

e d

Is there any truth to the rumors that WWE wrestlers were promised chartered flights to Sands of Time V and not given them?

Any news on Sasha?

Gotta be more specific

Fightful Select

Is meltzer right about 6 different women’s matches at mania?

Is there any truth to that leaked card for mania?

Any update on what the plans are for Mandy and Sonya at mania?

At elimination chamber will there actually be 2 women’s elimination chamber matches or is smackdowns match not gonna be in the chamber?

What’s the word on the future of WWE pay per views? I’ve heard ESPN+ or NBC’s upcoming Peacock service, but maybe not at UFC’s price point. It was said that $60 might be too much for fans after 6 years of $9.99.

CWX5

Was there a family reason Davey Boy Smith hasn't been inducted until now? Do you think this might somehow help convince Owen Hart's widow to allow him in?

anakinjmt

What would it take for Alex to do a Q&A?

Passit2dj

What's your favorite Chris Jericho storyline? Can be from any promotion. Also what's your favorite version of Jericho?

anakinjmt

Could fiend bray Wyatt vs brock lesnar be a good fued? I feel like Paul and bray could have some good back and forth on the mic but I’m not sure if the match would be good.

Passit2dj

Do you think WWE will ever have a MITB winner risk running out of time to cash in as a storyline? If they have a winner have up until the end of next year's Money in the Bank PPV to cash in, it could lead to a situation where a champion has 2 briefcases to worry about, which could add intrigue to a title defense

anakinjmt

Do you think NXT will participate in MITB matches this year?

anakinjmt

Do you think they'll ever do a tag team MITB like what was rumored a couple of years back?

anakinjmt

Not sure why Elimination Chamber is hard to book for. Qualifying matches, then all 6 contenders in a 6 man tag. Winning team then does a triple threat to determine who enters chamber last. Losing team has a triple threat where the winner doesn't start the match. It gives every match stakes and everyone a reason to care and want to win. Your thoughts?

anakinjmt

Do you forsee anyone who chooses not to go to Saudi ever going? Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, and Cena all were at the first show but haven't returned. Think they might ever go back?

anakinjmt

There's a debate online I'm curious to hear your answer on. Between these two flavors only, which do you prefer: peanut M&Ms or plain?

anakinjmt

As one of the biggest matches that never happened but had huge ramifications, what're your thoughts on when WWE tried to do a King of the Ring qualifying match between Stone Cold and Brock Lesnar? Was Austin right in feeling that there should have been more of a buildup to the match?

anakinjmt

Best top/bottom folkstyle camp for a college age wrestler?

Are you looking forward to Chicago this weekend?

Rob Wilkins

Homer Bailey pitched for your Reds for over 10 years. Now, granted he’s been away from Cincinnati for a few years. He signed with my Twins this year. what are some pro’s & cons about him. His ERA sucks, I know that

Rob Wilkins

Social Media experts state that people or companies should avoid “making an announcement of an announcement, if it is NOT a major announcement”. Should Wrestling companies and wrestlers for that matter follow this method? (Example Young Bucks announcing their book..AEW announcing they are going back to Jacksonville)

Rob Wilkins

Hypothetically if Paul Heyman started managing Ricochet, what do you think that would do for Ricochet’s career.

Rob Wilkins

Looking back on it, what do you think of Cody’s work when he was the Stardust character

Rob Wilkins

MJF, is innovative with his heel work. That being said do you know if AEW leadership had a problem with his tweet basically “shaming” a persons physical appearance on Social Media because they were wearing a Cody shirt. It was pretty vicious considering fans jumped in on the shaming.

Rob Wilkins

Can you explain the transition in the past from Keiji Mutoh to the Great Muta?

Reid Greenspan

Could it benefit smack down and/or raw to have a gm like regal on nxt?

Passit2dj

When the time is right what’s the best way for Seth Murphy and app to split up? Will they eventually turn on Seth?

Passit2dj

I heard you guys at fightful talking about how it could be good for ricochet to have a hype man. Would it be stupid if the street profits hyped him up? Or maybe a female like Andrade has Vega?

Passit2dj

The Mandy and Otis storyline is keeping me up at night. THE DRAMA! How do you see it ending? Will Otis get the girl? Will Sonya turn on Mandy?

With ppvs & Wrestlemania possibly going off of the WWE network could u see maybe an ECW or a WCW airing weekly on the Network to also replace NXT as a proving ground? I could see an ECW on WWE Network actually recreating the extreme spirit. Using nostalgia to build the brand at first then having the talent hold it up. It’s been almost 20 years since last rendition.

Drakkon_CM

Is it true that WrestleMania plans involving Reigns, Wyatt, Cena and Elias have changed? Is it possible we see Goldberg walking out as champion come Thursday? Who do you see Cena’s next opponent is then?

Any updates planned to the US Championship design? It's the oldest design on a belt currently in use by the WWE (since 2003).
