Q&A For Wednesday

Has WWE ever had interest in Mr Pec-tacular Jessie Godderz? He has the body of a guy I’d think they’d want and has much more mainstream attraction than most talent.

Brett Clendaniel

Any chance of getting an interview with Jim Johnston in the future? He’s been popping up a bit recently and would be great to hear more from him. He doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves for helping to get characters over.

Thank You SRS, Great Stuff Like Always Sir, I Miss My FightFul Family So Very Much, I Hope To Be Back On Select, Within The Next Month Or Two, Mom's Hanging In There, One Day @ A Time, Thanks For The Therapy Time SRS & Thank You Sir, For Always Answering All Of Our Questions Sir, We All Appreciate It, So Very Much, Have A Great One & Take Care My Friend, John. :)

John M. Baez, Sr.

Do you think we will ever see Pyro back full time outside of Saudia and WrestleMania?

Any chance WWE sign Marty Scurll?

Schayne Hass

With NXT bringing back War Games, do you think it will ever make it to the main roster and also do you see any other old WCW Special matches coming back to the promotion?

If trading happened in Pro wrestling (between AEW, ROH, WWE, NJPW) what is the block buster trade you would make as AEW to keep building the roster_card

Regarding the Harlem heat going into the hall... what is the first team that comes to mind as their rivals? For me, it's the Nasty Boyz. I'm not the only nasty Boyz fan from back in the day am i?

I know many people aren't happy with how Finn has been treated recently, but can we acknowledge that he's probably the fastest or one of the fastest to ever win a World Title? I think Vince didn't book him the same way after injury because the response wasn't he hoped it would be when Finn returned.

Charles Harkins

Do you feel Triple H went too far with his booking when came to the Elimination Chamber? Yes, it was his creation, but did he have to win most of them?

Charles Harkins

Did Cormier have his WWE try out in the end and if so how did it go ?

Adam Pearson

What was the worst/boring interview you've done so far ?

Adam Pearson

Who do you think will be the next Kofi or Becky Lynch someone who the fans get behind And push to the main event ?

Adam Pearson

Wrestling Question: What has been you favourite PPV from the last 12 months ?

Adam Pearson

MMA Question: Who do you think will be next to fight jones

Adam Pearson

Where do you foresee Robert Strauss landing in WWE? His style of work may not sit well with workrate heavy NXT fans and Raw/Smackdown already have numerous stars that can't get on the show. Will he be a performance center coach for promos?

Graham Williams

Do you think any upcoming roster shake ups will affect Ricochet and Aleister Black or do you think Vince likes the idea of embedding NXT talent across both brands simultaneously? Is this an attempt to get them over to the wider TV audiences of Raw and Smackdown who may not watch NXT?

Graham Williams

If you and Anna Bauert are going to review wrestling movies in the future, will you please review the classic that is No Holds Barred? It's worth it for the dookie scene alone.

Graham Williams

Amongst Becky, Seth and Kofi, who do you see winning the gold at WrestleMania 35? Is Kofi's momentum going to affect the others as we can't have ALL our favourites win? you had mentioned the same thing in your podcast some days back

11) I believe we were headed toward a Gargano/Ciampa at Takeover Mania, given events of the recent NXT tapings. That's out the window now - so what do you do with Gargano and the NXT title? Mini tournament? a 3 or 4 way mess? Riddle is the obvious face of the brand waiting ot happen, but he's headed to a match with Dream.

Jonathan Ma

10) In NBA and MLB, we hear about the agents. Mark Bartelstein, Rich Paul, Rich Kleinman, Scott Boras, etc. In wrestling, surely there are agents that work behind the scenes doing contract work for wrestlers, yet we don't hear about them. Why is that, and is that something that should be examined more closely, particularly in the current landscape?

Jonathan Ma

With the news that Tenille Dashwood’s ROH contract is set to expire at the end of month, do you see her staying with ROH, or do you think maybe she’ll sign with another company?

Patrick S

What Happened with Eminem's people?

How receptive would Stardom and NJPW if NXT sets up shop in Japan? It may be war because I'm pretty sure Triple H will be raiding Stardom again, especially he can scout them during WM weekend.

Charles Harkins

Do you think Triple H is informed about the things on the dirtsheets? I think he's very well on what's been said which comes through when he's doing the press conferences.

Charles Harkins

When are you going to launch Catful? - Definitely not submitted by Melisa

Fightful Select

They pretty much have most of the women AEW had on their radar which makes me think Canyon Ceman isn't talked about enough. What are your thoughts on him? Also, do you think Darby Alin and Priscilla are coming to WWE? Part of me assumed AEW, but with the addition of Stokely and Shane Strickland, it points towards WWE.

Charles Harkins

Is it me or does NXT have mostly 70% of the women on the independent scene?

Charles Harkins

In your opinion, why do you think WWE has been so open and honest about Dean Ambrose’s expiring contract?

Brett Clendaniel

9) Building on prior Q&A submissions: In 2019, Will Ospreay has pinned Kota Ibushi (at the Dome), drawn with PAC, pinned Jeff Cobb, Dalton Castle, Davey Boy Smith and Bad Luck Fale. He got probably 60% or more of the offense against Jay White, the IWGP champ. Now, Meltzer’s japanese podcast guest (Fumi, i think) is reporting NJPW views him (not White) as a Kenny Omega replacement. Ospreay is 25 ish, Omega is 35. Do you project Ospreay as a top of the card, main event, face of the company guy for NJPW? Does he have the appeal internationally? He will own any building in Europe if he gets a big match, he’s over in Japan, and i think his PWG work guarantees him a certain chunk of fans in the US. If ROH had used him better, he’d probably be even bigger stateside. australia LOVES him, he helled build that scene Can he get to that next level? Given his twitter shenanigans, would u trust him as, say, a top 4 dude of your company? I think we already saw him build a smaller promotion up in Progress, but NJPW is an exponentially bigger stage

Jonathan Ma

Who do you think faces Asuka at mania for the Sd women’s championship

Josh Wilburn

Srs any updates on a Fightful meetup in Vegas during double or nothing?

Josh Wilburn

Is it just me or does it seem strange Cole mentioned Ambrose not resigning like 12 times during fastlane

Josh Wilburn

Srs do you think Wwe brings Sami, Bray, Harper back before mania?

Josh Wilburn

Who do you think would be the best option as Angles opponent at mania?

Josh Wilburn

Any updates on Aj resigning?

Josh Wilburn

What is the 2nd most popular MMA promotion after UFC? Where does Bellator rank in popularity?

Only heat if they deny us credentials :)

Fightful Select

Sir can you explain to me how to get the breaking news and stuff cuz it seema to me unless im missing something you can see or read everything but these live posts on patreon on fightful main web page...im really confused amd new subscriber to fighful

Where do you see fightful in a years time? Is there anything you would have done differently if you could go back.

Any word on why they keep mentioning Ambrose not resigning on TV? Seems so odd.

Eric Z

do rey mysterio n other masked stars wear hood backstage all the tim

Charlotte Dizz

better chance at staying with wwe styles or ambrose

Anything on a Rock Appearance at Wrestlemania?

gut feeling do you think becky goes over at mania

Do you know when Becky Sasha Bayley Alexa contracts are up?

Corey webster

Is it just me, or do you feel like Walter would be a big star on the main roster? Because of his size and how he is portrayed as a bad ass, I feel like he would work well. He does not even need to talk much.

Reid Greenspan

Also, I have read about Anderson and Gallows turning down offers. On NotSam he said they would take lifetime contracts if they could. Did something change?

Schayne Hass

8) In the five years or so they've been around, has WWE ever really developed a consistent rival for The Shield? Their debut , bigtime rivals were the Wyatts, and those matches were red hot fire. There was a fun angle with Evolution. And then . . . what have they done? The latest, hastily thrown together "reunion" was against some random heels for no stakes.

Jonathan Ma

Any information on the superstar shakeup? Will it involve all brands? Any news on Kushida?

Schayne Hass

7) Is there heat between Fightful and AEW? I notice that Chris Harrington wasn't intoduced by Cody as FIGHTFUL ALUMNI . . .

Jonathan Ma

6) Related to above - is it too early for AEW to invest in a training facility, like a smaller scale PC, to develop talent, whether really raw young wrestlers, or athletes from other disciplines like MMA, gymnastics, other other spots?

Jonathan Ma

5) AEW, by necessity, is employing alot of wrestlers who are contracted elsewhere . Jimmy Van has commented about how this is a drawback, because you're pushing someone that could very well show up on TV for someone else (your competition). When AEW starts their TV, do you see them tightening up where their talents are "allowed" to wrestle, and do you think thats going to get blowback among their talent? If they're smart, this is something they would have worked out ahead of time with their signings, right?

Jonathan Ma

4) If you were 20 something year old wrestling prospect, who's moveset would you adopt? Raw power, like a Strowman? Wrestling, like a Cobb, or Lesnar? Submissions, like ZSJ or Gulak? Aerial stuff, like Ospreay/Ricochet? Strike based, like a Shinsuke, or ibushi (although he has a damn fine moonsault)? Lucha? Additionally, which type of moveset do you personally enjoy watching, across promotions?

Jonathan Ma

What is your favourite WrestleMania match of all time? Mine is Shawn Michaels vs Kurt and WrestleMania 21.

Robert Osgood

3) I believe Kevin Kelly on one of the NJPW broadcasts remarked that Zack Sabre Jr's build isn't just good for his grapple based style, but also good for injury prevention since he's not carrying excess weight. Do you think that a wrestler really can avoid injury be staying lean? ZSJ does have a much more "MMA" type build than the vast majority of wrestlers, and certainly a leaner build than most "heavyweights"

Jonathan Ma

How often do you think WWE plants information/news they want out in public?

Rob Wilkins

2) How's the G1 Supercard looking? This card is already sold out, we already know we're getting an IWGP Title match w/ Jay White, their new top guy; we're getting GOD vs Briscoes both both tag titles, we're getting Taiji Ishimori v Dragon Lee v Bandido for the IWGP Jr strap. Do they need another top tier match (i.e. the level of Naito v Ibushi for the IC Strap)? That feels like overkill, since there's likely going to be also Ospreay v Cobb for the NEVER and TV titles and something that i'm sure will be woefully disappointing involving the Kingdom. Feels like thats more than enough, and burning Naito/Ibushi is overkill

Jonathan Ma

Not sure if it's been brought up before, but more than ever I keep noticing a bunch of guys come across on TV with yellow spots all over. Is this just from oil, tanner, etc rubbing off during matches or what? Also, any clue if the production team is cognizant of this, as it is pretty noticeable watching at home.

Jake Kotke

1) Should ROH just quietly scrap their women's division? We all want female wrestlers to get more opportunities, and there may be negative press from doing away with it, but isn't there equally negative energy from doing it badly? I mean they recently started integrating some Stardom talent into the title picture, but until they get consistently well booked and talented folks in spotlight matches . . . its just a sad sidenote.
