SRS Q&A Questions

(sorry, didn't see the message that this was closed—it didn't appear until I clicked to read all the comments)

Sean T. Collins

A month or so ago on one of your podcasts—I can't recall exactly which one—someone who was new to wrestling asked what matches from throughout history you'd recommend to someone just getting into it. Would you ever consider posting your list somewhere?

Sean T. Collins

Among the newer/younger/less frequently seen talent in NXT, who do you feel has the most potential?

Sean T. Collins

Do you think the new NWA studio show will be any good?

Ralph Cody

What happend to Lars Sullivan?

Ralph Cody

What's going to happen to 205 live? I heard rumors of it merging with nxt but not sure if it's true.

Ralph Cody

Fightful Select

What happened to Lars? They started a push with the 3 amigos, then nothing. He is doing worse that EC3.

Ralph Cody

Did u catch clark Connors v TJP ?

Jonathan Ma

In an interview during the Super J cup, TJP said his matches were so controlled he’d have a ref telling him what move to do and when. Is that level of micromanaging common across wwe matches? Seems insane any wrestler would want to be so tightly controlled

Jonathan Ma

Do you think there will be a significant bump in NXT viewership once AEW airs?

Do you think Asuka will leave WWE as soon as her contracts up?

Ben Williams

Do you think any of the wrestlers who have recently resigned with WWE are already regretting their decision?!

Ben Williams

How have you rated Renee young on commentary?

Ben Williams

Just to note, I think both Alex and Denise are awesome in their own ways, so was it an intentional decision to bring someone with a less jaded oulook on WWE to replace Alex for raw? Were you surprised at some of the segments Denise was positive about during her first few shows? Does that positivity affect your outlook on some of the segments?

Ben Williams

Loved the fightful thumb wrestling segments. Do you have many more stories lined up and do you find they are a good creative outlet for you?

Ben Williams

1st Regarding wrestlmania's main event this year, the referee who got blamed and fined by Vince McMahon for the pin error. Has he been on TV since? 2nd You mentioned a couple of weeks ago on a podcast (can't remember which) that you were going to change the target on fightful select subscribers to 300 instead of the 500 currently listed. I just wondered if that was still happening 3rd This is more of a statement than question, hope it's okay. Since listening to yourself & Alex on your review shows, I've gotten a better understanding into the wrestling psychology, and now I can appreciate matches on a different level.

Ellen C

with ember moon's loss to evans, there was a group of fans commenting about how people dont know what her 'gimmick' is. I couldn't really describe it... then It got me thinking, i dont really know what most wrestlers' gimmicks are. can you talk about what a 'gimmick' is and how important it is to have a gimmick? having watched a good amt of wwe the past year+, i can't actually think of many wrestlers who have a gimmick outside of a catchphrase... what is roman's gimmick? seth? becky? natalya? ember moon? baron corbin? ricochet? KO? to me, they're just people with a catchphrase who dresses in something you wouldn't wear to the grocery store. thanks!

jason czech

If you took one wrestler from either the 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s and you could have them in their prime right now in 2019. Who would you choose? I would take Arn Anderson

Rob Wilkins

fiend vs Kishin Liger, who takes it

Jonathan Ma

Without going to cagematch...can you remember the Young buck’s last singles match (either, against anyone)? Seems like such a rarity, how would you book such a match? Which buck, against who?

Jonathan Ma

One question do you know are they going to have Smackdown on Tuesday and then Friday both next week?? 10/1 and 10/4 both ???

Rhetorical question: Did AEW wrestlers all decide to be stupid on twitter in the same week? (Kenny, Brandi, Nyla, Spears all had varying levels of brainfarts on twitter ............Real question: With much talk about treating wrestlers better than WWE in terms of schedule and freedom, and also making some wrestlers true employees, do you think AEW put themselves in a bind when confronted with a situation with a wrestler doing something particularly controversial online, or worse, getting a DUI, or even worse, getting worse than a DUI? They can't really punt with "the wrestlers are just independent contractors" approach, can they?

Jonathan Ma

Did you notice how Renee kept referring to Nicky as hot.. I find this confusing. Do you?

Aidan O'Connell

Why are Keno sticks under the ring man?

Aidan O'Connell

Street Prophets - An outstanding waste? What’s their future SRS?

Aidan O'Connell

Sonya Deville - an outstanding talent that should be with Becky and Charlotte and Sasha and Bailey..

Aidan O'Connell

SRS I’ve trouble keeping up with the product because of my podcast fetish . Listen to 40 unique podcasts. So now I keep up to date with You Tube channels and your live blogs-the next day. What do you think?

Aidan O'Connell

Any chance of doing a Live Post Show of Impact? More possibilities of monetizing... :) Stephen Jensen? 😃

Rob Wilkins

NJPW already has a working relationship with ROH but AEW seems open to working with them and one would think given that anthem has bought axs that Impact would want to work with them too. Going forward what do you think NJPW will choose to do? What are the pros and cons of NJPW working with ROH, Impact & AEW?

Which of the wwe four horsewoman could you see going to aew and thriving?

Do you think Ronda will return while total divas is airing on E?

I’m relatively new for the Wrestling/Twitter era... but been around wrestling news boards for 22 years or so. Do you think the newer fans are not understanding what Kayfabe is? I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing but people get so wound up it seems. This is in reference to Kenny Omega/Donovan & Lacey Evans/Canada Rant

Rob Wilkins

Are you surprised Adam Page wasn’t on the AEW/TNT poster? It is official can’t remember who released it. From a promotional standpoint I don’t understand it. It seems like his character has taken somewhat of a hit in popularity

Rob Wilkins

This might be a better question for Brandon Thurston but you know I always trust your opinion as well. It came out that NJPW had their highest grossing revenue to date this year. Do you think they are satisfied with the North American numbers? I say this because I don’t think the ticket demand went well but I could be wrong

Rob Wilkins

I think Bill Apter should be in the WWE Hall of Fame one day. Would you agree or disagree.

Rob Wilkins

I know you like these questions... Vegas Odds! Give me the +/- on The Revival resigning to WWE

Rob Wilkins

Is the Kylie Rae situation a bizarre one? Did you have information but couldn't be certain of its reliability? It seems odd she was gone and then back in a manner of weeks.

Graham Williams

What's worth more to you: Fightful championship title or a Nintendo Switch?

Graham Williams

How much of a dent in the ratings do you think AEW will have on NXT? When they go head to head will WWE be happy with fans checking out NXT on the network as opposed to on TV?

Graham Williams

And Where do you see Xavier Woods in 3-5 years??

Aidan O'Connell

Do you watch Up Up Down Down??

Aidan O'Connell

It’s inconceivable that Kofi Kingston can overcome Randy Orton.. When will Orton stop doing the job?

Aidan O'Connell

Did you exclaim profanities when you saw Luke Harper. Very first words or thoughts when you saw Harper??

Aidan O'Connell

Can Bloodsports become a fixture of Fightful going forward??

Aidan O'Connell

NXT UK, Are you invested? Exceptional wrestling you might be missing!

Aidan O'Connell

Is Robert Roode one of the very best talents in the WWE??

Aidan O'Connell

What does the future hold for Ali?

Aidan O'Connell

Really like Alex. I understand he’s off Raw, but not Fightful.. Is he doing less work for Fightful? Shame

Aidan O'Connell

Why the hate for Brad Shepard. Is he legit?

Aidan O'Connell

With Impact going to AXS, what are the expectations for better production and better/larger venues?

Reid Greenspan

What were your thoughts on the rumors that came out about Impact possibly buying ROH?

Reid Greenspan

The most important question to ask is, How are you doing today bro?

ItsWildBoy

When is the next Fightful Feast?

ItsWildBoy

If you was offered "The most lucrative contract in wrestling history" by each major company to wrestle for, who would you choose and why?

ItsWildBoy

Did Zest really ever have us fully clean?

ItsWildBoy

I'm listening to castrating the marks (Vince Russo) and Sean Ross Sapp is plugged directly about the Fightful twitter account saying "this video package is giving me chills" regarding the start of NXT. How do you feel about Russo's "assault" on wrestling Journalists and does that keep you from working with him in the future?

Has there been a better ending to a worse start of a new gimmick than Bray/the Fiend? People were talking about him being a ventriloquist, random smoking birds out of boxes, etc.
