I know you've listened to several of the podcasts Conrad puts out. What's your take on when the other host counters something Meltzer or Keller published previously in their newsletter? Do you feel overall Dave and Wade heard it wrong from their source? I feel they would never outright make it up but a lot of times, particularly if it's Prichard or Bischoff, they have an entirely different narrative from what was reported

anakinjmt

Do you see Double or Nothing being postponed or do you think it'll happen as planned? Should Blood and Guts happen at Double or Nothing?

anakinjmt

How would you book Brandon Cutler's first win? Should it involve a heel turn on the Bucks?

Jim McShea

Do you think we'll ever get a full Cena/Undertaker match?

anakinjmt

You mentioned that there are no classes at the Performance Center right now. Do you know if they are keeping the main area set up for TV with the one ring or if they change it to having multiple rings set up like how it usually is?

anakinjmt

What's your feeling on when Stone Cold won the '97 Rumble but didn't get a championship match at Wrestlemania? I know he had one at In Your House 13 before Mania but it seemed to devalue the importance of winning the Rumble much like it did with Becky's storyline in 2019

anakinjmt

Was there a problem between Brock and Roman during their mania 31 match? Was Brock pissed that Roman kept laughing?

With Orlando and the rest of Orange County going into a mandatory stay at home Thursday at 11pm for the next 2 weeks. Do you think WWE wrapped all the tapings for the 3 brands and WrestleMania? And if they taped anything past the Raw after Mania?

My apologies if this has been asked, but since they're prerecording shows is there any possibility we get an episode of Southpaw Wrestling? Are there any characters from it that you'd like to see brought into WWE or NXT?

Michael Adams

I've heard you dislike bologna, and I wholeheartedly agree with your disgust. But have you tried *garlic* bologna? It's great with a little ketchup. I'd hate to see you miss out on a tasty meat.

Michael Adams

I have almost every episode of AEW Dynamite on the DVR including the introductory show since I'm unfamiliar with most of the performers. Now that it seems I have some time on my hands where do you suggest I start? At the beginning or should I skip ahead to a particular date?

Michael Adams

Orange Cassidy or MJF? Pick one.

YOUNG BIBBY

YOUNG BIBBY

Which superstars from the Ruthless Aggression era would you like to see come back? (One male and one female).

YOUNG BIBBY

Any reason as to why Kevin Owens wasn’t on the mania card last year? I just noticed this, yet he competed in the PPV before (Fastlane).

YOUNG BIBBY

Who approach do you agree with the most? WWE: let’s get everything done now, because we don’t know what’s going to happen. AEW: Let’s wait and see what happens.

YOUNG BIBBY

Wild prediction: What do you think happens to WWE after mania? Taped shows or offseason?

YOUNG BIBBY

I've seen a lot of people turning to sports video games to get their sports fix since there's nothing to watch. Have you been doing this, and if so what have you been playing? I imagine MLB The Show 20 since that just came out

anakinjmt

Do you find your work load lighter with everything going on? If so what are you doing to pass the time?

anakinjmt

What's your ideal sandwich look like?

anakinjmt

Make sure you let Manscaped know their supporting Fightful works! I specifically waited to order from them until there was a Fightful code that I could use. Does it look favorable they'll re-up?

anakinjmt

Any idea who the next 365 will be about? Who would you like to see them do one on?

anakinjmt

Do you think Wrestlemania being 2 nights is something that could be repeated or is this going to be a one-off? With Takeovers proving they can stand on their own, I feel the odds are greater for 2 night Manias being a thing going forward

anakinjmt

Daniel Bryan has been on the record saying he is taking maternity leave and then his contract is up not too long after that. Does WWE tell him to write a check for whatever he wants? To keep him

Rob Wilkins

Do you think AEW & WWE are missing opportunities by announcing talent they’ve signed instead of just having them appear and have crowd go nuts?

Rob Wilkins

Think we’ll ever see Ohno (Hero) get a match on Raw or Smackdown?

Rob Wilkins

Any word on Rusev’s contract situation?

Rob Wilkins

Based off the talent you’ve talked to.. are more wanting Mania postponed or have the attitude the show must “go on”

Rob Wilkins

Any word on how morale is with WWE talent right now? or they more worried about outside WWE

Rob Wilkins

Since getting back into wrestling hardcore the last couple of years I can see how great Kenny Omega is. I haven’t though really understood how hyped the One-Winged Angel is. Can you explain why that move is so revered? Has it just been protected extremely well or what?

With the Superstar Shakeup most likely not happening, would you have another draft in October instead?

YOUNG BIBBY

Are NXT/Smackdown after mania going to be taped like Raw?

YOUNG BIBBY

When did the “women’s revolution” begin in your mind? For me it was Paige’s debut. Was it something before that for you or was it the twitter movement?

Why did WWE switch to Velcro on the championship titles? Do you think it makes them look cheap?

If Vince is so high on Corbin, how come he hasn’t been universal or WWE champion?

YOUNG BIBBY

Overall, are you more of a fan of titles changing hands at pay per views or on TV?

anakinjmt

Is there a match in WWE that you think they should retire?

anakinjmt

Any chance you'll have the opportunity to interview a former WWE referee in longform? I think it'd be fascinating to hear about life as a ref and what all it entails

anakinjmt

Recently I was reminded at how good New Day is as a tag team. They can do the comedy stuff so well but they can also tear the house down. In your opinion, is there another team, from any era, that was as versatile as New Day and if so, how would you compare them?

anakinjmt

Do you expect WWE to tape multiple finishes to Mania matches to mitigate results being spoiled?

Brandon Chrisman

Any chance WWE takes the current situation to institute an “offseason” between Mania and SummerSlam?

Brandon Chrisman

A bit of a silver lining, but once this is all said and done, would it be fair to say the WWE roster will probably be at its healthiest in years from a physical standpoint thanks to the lack of bumping and travel?

Jim McShea

Do you think they should have a wing of the HOF dedicated to backstage, behind the scenes people like a Brian Gerwitz, paterson, russo, and JR?

e d

Not wrestling related but how funny would it be if someone piped in boos when Rodger Goodell went to the podium to start the NFL draft?

Jim McShea

Would it be a good move for the WWE to talk to Fox or ESPN about airing this year's Wrestlemania in a month or so since they're starving for content?

Jim McShea

Is there any particular topic(s) you'd like to see covered on the dark side of the ring show? i think doing one on gentleman chris adams would would be a fascinating one.

e d

Any backstage reaction to Braun Strowman's ill-advised at best, completely moronic at worst, comments on Evil Uno's Instagram post?

John Hermle

How would you have the storyline between Hangman, Kenny and The Bucks play out?

Any truth to the long standing rumor that Heyman was working for Vince even during the ECW days?

I'm assuming they would be, but are the Revival getting paid for merch sales?

anakinjmt

In all this uncertainty I forgot NXT UK has episodes in the can. Any idea how long they have content and if they might look to do tapings in the UK Performance Center?

anakinjmt

In your opinion, how significant is the Hair vs Hair match between Edge and Angle in 2002? It gave Angle a whole new look that defined him for the rest of his career and showed that Edge could hang with main eventers

anakinjmt

Suppose Conrad could get Bruce to talk about 1 topic from his current run with WWE right now. What topic would you most like to hear him talk about: Hell in a Cell 2019, Crown Jewel 2019, or Super Showdown 2020?

anakinjmt

The story that's been told of why Flair vs Hogan didn't happen at Wrestlemania 8 is Vince McMahon got cold feet when their matches at house shows didn't draw well. Why do you think they didn't draw, and was WWE right to switch to Flair vs Savage?

anakinjmt

Tyson Dux.. He played Chris Benoit in the recent documentary. Tyson has so many achievements in his Indy career, but he never made WCW/WWE?? He had the talent?!

Aidan O'Connell

Do you watch Ember Moon on Twitch, are there any wrestlers you follow on Twitch?? What a wrestler when in NXT!

Aidan O'Connell

Ember moon -talk she might be back soon? Tweets from home gym.

Aidan O'Connell

WWE taping schedule - I believe they are taping crazily, NXT in particular. As much as 4-6 weeks in advance..

Speaking of Archer...would you have debut’d him against Cody? He HAS to win, or fall into Shawn Spears like purgatory, right? Cody can lose forever and still be over

Jonathan Ma

Interested to hear your thoughts on Myron Reed and Alexander Hammerstone, and wher do you see them headed in the future?

Reid Greenspan

Do you think the Bryan and Gulak team up lasts long? Almost seems like Gulak is setting up to just turn almost?

Reid Greenspan

Why does it seem like new music is usually not made for tag teams put together, like the Broserweights? They seem to always put the two songs together.

YOUNG BIBBY

Do you think Earl Hebner will ever get a nod of the hall of fame?

YOUNG BIBBY

The most interesting take away from the Hardy/Jericho pod (Talk Is Jericho) was that both offered to put over younger/unused talents on TV. Jericho had originally planned for the Highlight Reel to spotlight up and comers; Hardy wanted 15 minutes on TV in a sort of "Broken Universe" sub-show that used un-used guys to get them over. Both were turned down by Vince. How damning is it that two of the greatest minds of all time basically volunteered to do "Creative" for Vince and he handwaved them (years apart, no less)

Jonathan Ma

I just realized that Archer and Jake the Snake both are from Texas and thats perhaps why they paired the two, but given that Archer has shown promo skills already, wouldn't Brody LEe be a better person to have a manager? Before WWE, was Lee known for mic skills? everyone says he can work

Jonathan Ma

One of the things I value most about Fightful is that you guys do not try to create narrative by stating your personal opinion as fact. I think Dave and others have a negative effect that far outweighs the positive when it comes to critiquing other wrestlers and shows, and the twitter and reddit regurgitation of those opinions as facts is troublesome. Im wondering if either you or Jimmy have ever helped boost or hinder a wrestlers career by an opinion on their match or work, or if youve heard from other wrestlers that a critique on their performance ever cost them bookings or merch sales?

MiamiWeiss21

Any word of the WWE attempting to freeze or "add time" to any talent's existing contracts during this pandemic? Given the byzentine nature of their contracts and how they basically make up excuses to trap people, this possibility came to mind

Jonathan Ma

What are some fun cross over matches you’d like to see happen in a fantasy booking with aew vs wwe wrestlers? I’d like a Darby Allin vs Jeff Hardy matchup

San Diego Comic Con's convention center always holds its biggest panels in Hall H, with a listed capacity of about 6.5K. Would it smart/feasible for a promotion to host a small event there? Say, AEW does a comic con panel to promote a PPV, they have a ring in the middle, and they throw in a match or two. Seems like there's a captive audience, an area that already has a ton of fans in attendance, with media present. Easy buzz. A young bucks spotfest would be perfect

Jonathan Ma

Do any WrestleMania results change because there's no crowd? Drew winning the title and Becky losing her year long run seem like moments that need crowd reactions. Assuming those were the plans.

Jeffrey Elliott

With so many promotions putting content up for free these days, i got to thinking about tape libraries. If WWE could trade for the tape library of any ONE wrestler, who would it be, and what would that promotion demand in return? I'm guessing they'd want Styles from Impact/TNA, but off hand i don't know what library they'd want in return. For this question, assume it is a one time transaction, all authorities sign off on it, and it is a one for one trade (all of one wrestler's tape for another straight up)

Jonathan Ma

Is more likely now that we will see an access of some type at Summer Slam along with the Hall of Fame Ceremony?

Drakkon_CM

I saw your report on how Angel Garza is received backstage, do you know how Liv Morgan is received? Is it good?

YOUNG BIBBY

What's your favorite question you've ever gotten in one of these?

Jonathan Ma

Between Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho who has overall the better wrestling career?

YOUNG BIBBY
