SRS Q&A Questions!

The wwe was on about doing a tier pay system for the network. I was wondering if you know how it’s going to work and when are they going to do the relaunch of it.

Robert Osgood

Former frontrow brian is blaming the decline in 1Q profits on announcsment that they would put the women’s 3 way as main event of mania, saying it did not have fan appeal. Also, seems like becky as pushed commodity has not increased attendance. Do you think there just isnt/wasnt money in main eventing the women’s feud, or did WWE’s atrocious execution fuck it up? They had a simple badass vs badass feud in their palms and it developed into a mess with mcmahon interference, ronda fumbling kayfabe, and charlotte’s shoehorining I lean toward blaming wwe handling. Didnt Ronda draw for UFC, and isnt becky a top merch mover? Plus, mania sold out (at whatever fake number or not)

Should Tony Khan drop a fee bills Luke Harper’s way and help fund a lawsuit to help him get out of his deal? Maybe hire the guy that beat the Lucha underground ones?

Jonathan Ma

Does Colt Cabana have a stake in pro wrestling tees?

Jonathan Ma

Not to give away any NXT UK spoilers, but did you notice that a certain Stardom Wrestler and recent interview made her debut this past weekend?

Charles Harkins

What were your thoughts on th Pentagon Dark vs The Black Lotus Triad match?

Charles Harkins

Is it crazy that as a Io Shirai fan, I have no problem with her being 0-2 (Storm, Deville) in WWE PPV specials?

Charles Harkins

Are John Cena (WM 24, 25) Triple H (WM 2000, WM 20, 24) and Randy Orton (WM 23, 24, 30) the only wrestlers to have multiple multi-man WM World Title matches?

Charles Harkins

Has Vince ever used the "lower third" gimmick (currently being ran to perfection by HHH)? Ciampa's attack on Johnny is still by favorite ending to a WWE PPV.

Charles Harkins

Which was better, girl drinking her dogs piss or guy snorting his own? 😂

Eric Z

This might be a Brandon thurston/jimmy van question...but given the recent rating that the bucks/lucha bros popped, could AEW beat WWE in mexico? They certainly could score a better tv deal and market share in China if they are partnered with basically the biggest promotion in China, right?

Jonathan Ma

Do you thinking put Lars in the ring with jinder. Made Lars look avg size and not a monster?

Ryan Rugani

I’m seeing conflicting reports on the actual numbers for the Ratings in regard to the AAA show with the Young Bucks. Any truth to this?

Rob Wilkins

Hey Sean, this is the question from the Superchat.. Breeze teaming with Velveteen Dream at the NXT Weekend House Show Tour, what is your opinion on this and do you think it will lead to a singles match

Rob Wilkins

Who do you want your Bengals to draft or, if you are taping after Thursday, do you like whoever they did draft in the 1st rd?

Troy A Palek

If the speculation is true and bray is forming a stable, with Eric young as the buzzard and Nikki Cross as Abby, who plays the bunny that's in the logo?

Troy A Palek

Whats up with Bix dissing CVV? He cant be this dense, right?

Jonathan Ma

What’s the deal with AAW and chicago area wrestlers? Is AAW refusing to book wrestlers or canceling bookings of wrestlers that take work elsewhere in the area? Seems like they should be paying extra if they want exclusivity, right?

Jonathan Ma

Could you ever see a way where a wrestler can be handed a belt, lose it and win back like Orton at No Mercy 2007?

Charles Harkins

As a screenwriter, am I wrong for thinking it's literally impossible to write a weekly scripted shows that air live 52 weeks a year?

Charles Harkins

Did you notice that Punk hugged Edge after he cashed in on him? And how many instances did you notice a fellow competitor secretly or openly thanking a wrestler for putting him over?

Charles Harkins

Due to the multiple title reigns of the three, would you consider 2007-2010 WWE as the Cena, HHH and Orton years?

Charles Harkins

Summer

Fightful Select

Any news on Mauro’s contract it was up April 2019

Cal

You've probably been asked this a lot but what match are you looking forward to the most at Double or Nothing?

Rob Wilkins

Is there a wrestling equivalent to Damien Lillards 3 ball to knock out OKC? Any huge move that paid off particularly well but was a "long shot" or particularly I'll advised? Dude has some grapefruits (or is extremely stupid/lucky) to take that shot.

I am not a huge fan of this guy but I think hes vastly underrated in the WWE in the past 10 years. What do you think about Sheamus and his contributions to this point?

Since you worked with him I was wondering your views on Castrating the Marks by Vince Russo? Ever heard anyone talk about that one way or the other as a writer?

Do you think that kacy catanzaro will be in the main roster anytime soon and also do you think she will be a main player there? Every time I have seen her perform she’s been so impressive.

Robert Osgood

If you were a WWE commentator, would you want to be play by play or colour or even a pre show host? And if you had to be hit with a finisher by a wrestler as part of an on-screen angle, whose finisher would you take?

Graham Williams

Whats the 411 on Brays funhouse gimmick? I was like WTF at first but after a few watches Im intrigued. I have feeling the witch, buzzard and rabbit will represent his stable maybe Nikki Cross, Eric Young and Killian Dain? What says you?

Simon Willis

You’re a WWE writer, what’s the outcome of the Bray Wyatt re-boot? Do you think there’s any validity to a rumor I read that Nikki Cross is the witch and Eric Young is the buzzard?

What role does Shane McMahon take beyond being an on air talent? It seems he’s often overlooked as an actual wrestler but beyond that I’ve not heard him being given an official title

How safe do you think Ember Moon’s finisher is? It looks awesome but seems like a real recipe for injury taking that landing, to the point I’m surprised she’s allowed to do it.

What is Fightful's current status with WWE? There was the whole scripts debacle, the Rousey t-shirt problem but then you have no problems with the HHH media calls so I was just wondering.

Graham Williams

Should the universal title match be face vs face or does AJ or Rollins turn heel?

Do you think the universal title match at MITB will end in either AJ or Rollins turning heel?

Are you still watching Impact or at least the YouTube highlights? If so, what do you think beyond Tessa being an obvious highlight?

Graham Williams

How long are Tessa Blanchard and Jordynne Grace signed to Impact, definitely think they'd be on the WWE radar if they weren't signed.

Christopher Tyler

Do you think Becky Lynch drops ether of her titles at MITB? If so which one?

Any word on Luke Harper status?

Rob Wilkins

Hypothetically let’s say Daniel Bryan is okay to return next week, and it’s completely your call... are you putting him on Raw or Smackdown?

Rob Wilkins

One thing I love about the entire Fightful staff is that nobody shows bias toward a specific company or wrestler in their reporting.. with that said is that pretty hard to do watching week in and week out

Rob Wilkins

Do you think they moved two many wrestlers in the shake up?

Do you know how the MITB matches are going to work? Will there be 3 wrestlers from Smackdown and 3 from Raw?

Do you think Roman Reigns will be the Smackdown Champion for the first Smackdown episode on Fox?

Do you think it would be a good idea for AEW to incorporate some WCW PPV’s? If so which would you want?

5) back to Sasha - is WWE just completely so tonedeaf that they didnt realize murdering those titles so quickly would piss off one of the folks that pushed for their creation? Now we have bayley cutting harder edge promos on smackdown only to lose to Charlotte? And we had Ricochet lose to Bobby fuckin Roode? Is it any wonder that WWE main roster feels utter pointless when they book haphazardly? Can vince leave already?

Jonathan Ma

Who do you think wins the women’s money in the bank? And do you think Becky is dropping one title at money in the bank

Corey webster

4) did you catch the recent ZSJ/Ibushi match? They have to be the best striker v grappler pairing around these days right?

Jonathan Ma

3) With Cedric, ali, and buddy all gone from 205, whats left on that show? Who are the core talents that can carry the top of cards? Seems like that roster is barren unless they do some shuffling

Jonathan Ma

Besides the AAA tag titles, have you heard anything else at this time about any titles being up for grabs at Double or Nothing.

Reid Greenspan

2) To date, have we seen any wrestler that wanted out of WWE but fail to get their release straight up say that they are continuing to work just to play out their contract? I am pretty surprised someone like the bennetts are toeing the company line by denying their request to get out instead of making a bigger deal that wwe is holding them hostage. Sasha, for example, could make waves if she said she wanted out but wwe was forcing her to ride out her contract

Jonathan Ma

Would you prefer the soup shake to happen on a week to week basis like in 2005 or keep it a giant mess like it currently is?

Nate Cummings

1) have you had a chance to watch Hikaru Shida? Upon her signing she was touted as one of the best joshi talents available. This far i’ve gotten to her matches with Aja Kong and Evie/dakota kai plus the odd comedy tag team with Kenny, asuka, and tanaka. She moves very fluidly, hits hard, has a variety of offense that includes strikes and subs in a very strong style arsenal

Jonathan Ma

Who do you think ends each of the current Raw/SD champions (all titles) reigns?

Andy Quigley

Any word on intergender wrestling being a thing in AEW?
