Aidan O'Connell

Was the dinner with Glenn Rubenstein business or personal? It's pretty crazy to hear my two favorite podcast hosts had dinner together, would love to see you two work together in some capacity down the line.

Frankie Aguilera

Do you think Pat McAfee could make the transition to commentary? I find his podcast and watch along stuff hilarious, not to mention he is getting his start now with NFL commentary.

Frankie Aguilera

I pretty much stopped watching wrestling between 2007-2011 and most of 2013. Was there ever a point where your fandom waned and you weren't that much of a fan?

Frankie Aguilera

Michael Cole has been at the helm of commentary for over a decade and you would think his next days are numbered. Who is the one to replace Cole: Tom Philips, Mauro Ranallo, Vic Joseph or someone we haven't seen yet?

Frankie Aguilera

What is your favorite takeover match of all time? Personally, mine is Nakmura vs Zayn. That was my first exposure to Nakamura and I was immediately enamored with him. Fun fact, that was also my first SRS post show I ever watched lol.

Frankie Aguilera

How would you set up the 4HW main event at wrestlemania?

Would you and Jimmy V consider going to Mania and doing a live show for the fans?? THE LIST AND YOUR BOY!!

Will anthem taking over AXS is going to cause NJPW to look for a new television partner? AEW has a television partner and needs main events NJPW could use help promoting north american shows Impact just sent NJPW into AEW’s arms didnt they? EDIT: VOW reporting NJPW-AXS deal runs to jan 2021, fwiw

Jonathan Ma

Is there a chance ladies in Buy In Battle Royal sign with WWE and what other her female signings do you think WWE will sign?

Charles Harkins

What's your favorite non-WM match promo and/or song? My pick is 2002 Summerslam Chamber Match with Saliva "Always" playing in the background. My other choice is Unforgiven Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar with "Adrenaline" Gavin Rosdale.

Charles Harkins

What's the best situation/night/time period for IMPACT on AXS TV?

Thomas Middaugh

Priscilla Kelly aka Tampon Lady. What’s your view on her future. What should she do, SRS

Aidan O'Connell

Aew find a network in canada?

What’s your view on Funko Pops? I’m a collector. I’m like the same age as you, so I think it’s OK to collect!!

Aidan O'Connell

Conrad now has 5 podcasts adding Arn to JR and co. He has a mortgage company he is really invested in. Is this too much for 1 man??

Aidan O'Connell

Is there heat between Conrad and Russo??!!

Aidan O'Connell

Do you have the scoop on Russo leaving Westwood One?

Aidan O'Connell

Has any woman tried to seduce you within your expanding SRS role??!!

Aidan O'Connell

Do or would you guys do anything on Twitch??

Aidan O'Connell

Whos current finishing moves do you find most difficult to buy as legitimately damaging?

Ben Williams

What do you think it will take for Vince to change the cringy, unnatural, buzzword heavy commentary style? Surely they must be aware of how loathed it is?

Ben Williams

How would you grade AEW's performance so far and what for you have been the biggest successes and failures?

Ben Williams

Do you know anything about the viewers NXT UK gets or buzz or lack of buzz online? I was at the first UK tapings and desperately wanted wanted to love it but I have no desire to watch it... do you think any of the talent would be unhappy being on a such a side promotion when they deserve more prominance?

Ben Williams

can you talk me away from the cliff edge regarding bayley? she 'turns heel' and immediately eats a pin? am i missing something other than the typical "omg the challenger pinned the champ! maybe it'll happen at the PPV!!!"? isn't a face/heel turn a good chance to revitalize someone and have them go on a win streak and actually build some credibility and some longingly sought out 'momentum'? when i heard the tag match was announced, i immediately knew charlotte would pin bayley...now they're going to have a match at the PPV and charlotte won't win, probably via some sort of shenanigans since hell in a cell is the next ppv. i dont even think i have a question anymore. actually, any idea when asuka and/or ember moon's contracts are up? they originally signed in summer/fall 2015 to nxt

jason czech

Can any member of The Elite ever win am AEW title as a babyface, in light of how public theyve been with their EVP roles? Feels like it would be hard to get that real, organic pop with them being bookers

Jonathan Ma

Have you seen the Rev Pro fiasco with Bodom, Samuels, and referee Aarond Wilde? With WWE/NXT Uk murdering burning british wrestling down, what would happen if NJPW severed ties with Rev Pro? I dont think it will happen but that scene seems dire, with several promotions folding or getting bought out While Dunne and others have made good decisions for their own financial security it seems like the reassurances that “BritWres” will be fine are...not looking too hot Are you surprised at how quickly that scene has changed? Only a few years ago, it seems, europe was thriving with ott, progress, rev pro, WXW and a myriad of smaller promotions all thriving. Now all the big boys are WWE puppets, rev pro is going full ROH, and smaller promotions are dying

Jonathan Ma

If the rosters do become strict again, who would you have as the top 2 male faces and heels on each brand? Top 2 women on each brand? Top 2 tag teams on each brand?

Andy Quigley

With Cody teasing a TV title, who do you think should be the first TV champion? I think MJF if a heel, Darby Allin if a face.

Andy Quigley

Will we see a NXT invasion Angle now that NXT is on USA network?

With the rumour of smackdown going to 3 hours what do you think they should do for the 3rd hour? I’ve seen reports it could be for 205 live but I would have the 3rd hour for the women not just because they deserve it but cause of the Saudi stuff what you think?

Corey webster

With the women tag titles and the 24/7 title what will happen with that when the rosters become stricter again? How would you do it?

Corey webster

Will 205 Live exist for too much longer or will it be phased out? Will the roster just be incorporated into Raw, Smackdown and possibly even NXT with the longer show? I think 205 has lost a lot of steam and there's no cruiserweight classic to reinvigorate it.

Graham Williams

Do you know who the agent was on on Elias-Ali for last week’s SD?

last question... do you think we will ever see someone defend a title more then 18 months ever again...

Rob Wilkins

alright SRS, lets say I am an exec at ESPN, I want to create a show once a week in which we cover WWE, AEW, Impact, MLW, etc. etc. Would people watch? I think it would do better ratings than some of the stuff they air. Your thoughts

Rob Wilkins

Does Jimmy ever listen to these if so, if you got credentials for Wrestle Kingdom would you go?

Rob Wilkins

If you could pick two people (living or not) to sit and critique a few of your matches and promos. Who would you choose? I personally would choose Dusty for Promo's and Bret for my actual matches

Rob Wilkins

This will not happen anytime soon but do you think we will ever see a wrestling festival? Different promotions showcase their matches at one large show over 3 days or something similar. I am including WWE, AEW, NJPW in this.

Rob Wilkins

I hope I am wording this right, if I was 17 year old kid wanting to be a pro wrestler. Would you recommend also having a background with MMA training? Would it matter what training you seek first? Would you want to train first in MMA or Pro Wrestling or would it matter

Rob Wilkins

You previously mentioned you've started watching Stardom a bit. How are you finding the experience? Is it jarring to have different venues, camera angles, and no commentary? It's a totally different world

Jonathan Ma

I know WALTER has been on the record stating he would not move to the United States, do you think he would be someone WWE would use similar to Brock eventually. I would think Vince would salivate for him.

Rob Wilkins

Do you think a 4-way between the 4 horsewomen at WM should be purely a grudge match or should it be for a title? I alternate between both, because a grudge match allows more women to be featured on the show in championship matches, but a title elevates the 4-way

Jeffrey Elliott

Any news on where Marty Scurll goes when his contract up? Is it a done deal he will go to AEW? Ice always thought his gimmick is perfect for WWE

Simon Willis

If you HAD to bet on the first head to head of Wednesday night wars, who gets the bigger rating and why?

Simon Willis

Who would you book Mcgregor with next before a Khabib rematch?

Simon Willis

How can Tony Ferguson beat Khabib?

Simon Willis

How far do you think they go with The Fiend in terms of story but also push? What would you do if you had to book the next few months of the character?

Simon Willis

Lets pretend i dont get or like The Fiend or watch regularly but im a new viewer whos seen his segments and Summerslam match. I dont get it, why is this gimmick special or different to anything WWE usually does?

Simon Willis

Where do you think Killer Kross will end up when he gets to the end of his Impact contract? It baffles me that they haven't done more with him and tried to secure him to a better deal.

Graham Williams

Based on how things stand at the moment where do you think Marty Scurll is going to end up when his contract runs out?

Who do you think are going to be Jericho's mystery partners on the first night of tv? I would love for it to be The Young Bucks.

How much of an impact on long term storytelling do you think Mox not being able to compete at All Out had?

Do you think Jericho was always gonna be the guy to be the first champion, or was Hangman going to be the choice before his push did not go as perfectly as planned?

Jeffrey Elliott

We focus so much on star rating and numbers but the way Jericho is handling Belt-gate really shows how much experience and charisma matters it choosing a champion So why the hell is Matt Taven the ROH top guy?

Jonathan Ma

Speaking of which what do you think if Cody being announced at title contender BEFORE his inaugural tv match against Sammy...and then giving an interview that he and jericho might not even be in the match Is the need to promote and sell tix going to undercut the sporting / pure competition aspect of the promotion?

Jonathan Ma

Both Nyla Rose and Riho have been pinned clean (albeit in multiperson matches), yet these are the title contenders. If this was the plan, and W-L is a focus, why would AEW book them in such a manner? Do you think they changed plans from Kylie or Britt? Related: theyve had zero promos for Riho, no BTE, no Road To. Doesnt this reflect badly on a company claiming theyre going to support women’s wrestling

Jonathan Ma

How much did WWE pay to get Rollins on top of the PWI rankings

Jonathan Ma

What happened with alicia Atout and AEW? By all appearances she was/is friends with The Elite and worked All in/out. Then Hawkins commented they “might not have her” and we’re not seen her since

Jonathan Ma

Singh brothers for the 24/7 title. Any chance. Any hope the title could get them over?? I like these guys

Aidan O'Connell

Meltzer says Corbin s match against Cedric Alexander may have been the best of his career. I don’t agree with that. SRS??

Aidan O'Connell

I understand Linda Mc Mahon gave 365,000 Dollars to Trumps 2020 Election bid. On a personal level do you think they ever talk wrestling and would trump be up to speed with WWE SRS??

Aidan O'Connell

Do you think Walter could work and succeed in WWE ?

Aidan O'Connell

Any truth to the rumor Eric Bischoff is struggling in his new job.

Aidan O'Connell

JR (to me) is getting worse, the podcasts, All Out. He’s sounds really down at times, totally understandable after his wife’s passing. Is JR going through a depression rather than a much talked about performance dip?

Aidan O'Connell

What’s your view on transgender folk in wrestling . Nyla is very talented and humble, but does she have an advantage in matches

Aidan O'Connell

This might be brought up on LAYB, but what is your take on the Rev Pro ref beatdown?

Graham Williams

Who is the best choice to make the biggest splash when NXT debuts on TV? I don't mean who will necessary be the best in a world champ role to try and spike a rating, more who should be 'THE GUY' and be featured prominently in the new 2hr format moving forward.

Graham Williams

Do you think Tony Khan will become more or less visible in the coming months when AEW hits TV? Will he end up as an on air character?

Graham Williams

Given how wrestling programming and philosophy today range from great in ring action but also offer variety that can also turn people off from investing, if the amount of social interaction can’t equal to audience growth. How do you see the business staying competitive and healthy if it can only ever remain with the same range in terms of numbers not discounting the definition of what a star in 2019 means beyond how much they’re being paid then bringing new fans in.
