Any idea if Ethan Page's Alpha-1 Wrestling promotion will remain on Impact Plus, given his frustration over how Impact handled Karate Man/the end of Ethan Page in Impact?

Joel Pearl

Would you think WWE might bring back King of the Ring (and perhaps create Queen of the Ring) this year?

KJ

Any updates on Nigel McGuinness coming back to NXT? Or is Wade Barrett his replacement permanently?

I might be thinking wrong. But wasn't the spot where Flair tripped Charlotte a mistake. If that was the case was this whole Lacy, Charlotte fued even planned?

NateF_81

I don’t know if it’s been asked: do you see riddle going back to ufc with the relaxed rules on weed?

Charlie Williams Jr.

3. With Taya being the biggest non problematic woman free agent in a long time, do you see any other Free Agents later this year causing a bidding war later on in the year?

brysoon mc

2. With the doors being opened between Impact and AEW, and both companies having some sort of relationship with AAA, Do we see anymore crossover between the three likely? (I Know Black Taurus was at the lastest Impact Tapings)

brysoon mc

1. Looking like we get Roman vs Daniel Bryan at Mania, what can we even expect for Drew at mania? Sheamus?

brysoon mc

Also final random question, you think NJPW made Osprey delete his Twitter?

Bryan D'Ambra

I find it hard to believe that NJPW is "unaware" of what's going on in AEW/Impact especially with Tama being pretty vocal. I know copywrite laws, but could they even stop AEW/Impact if they wanted to?

Bryan D'Ambra

Congrats on List and Ya Boy 200! Love listening to you and Jimmy, especially when Jimmy talks the business side of things. What is the timeline like on people being signed to the performance center and then on to nxt or other programs generally?

Bryan D'Ambra

1. Any plans for Mojo Rawley to return to TV? 2. Have you heard of any plans to shake up the brands after WrestleMania? 3. With all the recent talent being brought in and less than expected contracts being offered to those who have deals expiring, do you expect the company to release some of the talent who re-signed deals prior to the pandemic?

Brian Bayless

Is there a business relationship between Tony Khan and Anthem regarding IMPACT? With Tony Khan at the IMPACT tapings, I’m wondering if there is some sort of a minority acquisition at play between both parties?

Any more news on AEW and Impact relationship? Have you ever attended a royal rumble live? If so, which one? What’s a memory from a wrestling interview that’ll always stick with you?

Bryant Heath

Do you know what backstage role , if any, Shane McMahon has within the company these days? Is he included in any succession plan should something happen to Vince or is it pretty much guaranteed that steph and HHH will run things?

e d

Is there any heat on Ricochet and Kacy Catanzaro for their maskless parties they have held?

I bet James' cats could beat Teddy Hart's cats in a ladder match ForTruthiCity

1. Do you see WWE signing more TV ready wrestlers over signing athletes to eventually become wrestlers like they did with their previous Performance Center signees? 2. KENTA's back to teasing and calling out Mox on Twitter again. Will these guys meet in a New Japan Strong ring pretty soon or - and this is a stretch - will their match announcement coincide when New Japan officially announces their US TV deal? 3. So it looks like AEW will be having a second series of figures coming out this year called UNMATCHED. Is this going to be a supplement for wrestlers who aren't part of the UNRIVALED wave announcements like their women wrestlers (which by the way was a great joke you made on twitter the other day lol).

Sheila Antonio

You killed it with the Royal Rumble article and video! Thank you so much for that. Excited to be a Fightful Select member after this rough year. If Brock Lesnar comes back, do you see Paul Heyman being an advocate for both Lesnar and Reigns, or just one of them?

Nick Thomas

Do you think having sting announced for appearances every week makes him feel less special and perhaps it would be better to space out appearances to build anticipation.

e d

Do you think Jay White stays with New Japan and that this whole thing is a work.

e d

SRS with the Contract of Taya Valkyrie expiring do you expect her to sign with AEW or WWE NXT

Jamara D. Hudson

Do you think Vince will allow the announcers to let fans do the "one fall" chant once fans return? Are there any other Vince edicts that you'd like or expect to see looked over once fans are back?

Dev W.

With news of Lacey Ryan, Priscilla Kelly, and Elayna Black being signed and an already stacked NXT women's division, do you see any women being moved over to Raw and SmackDown in the coming months?

Dev W.

What's going on with Jessemyn Duke? I thought she showed potential in NXT, but we haven't seen her in quite a while.

Max_MacKenzie338

Do you expect Lana’s storyline to be completely dropped or do you think there will be some type of Rumble spot to pay it off?

Dev W.

where do you think taya is going next?

massgamer99

Hi Sean, great job with the Royal Rumble article. 1. What other events/shows can you see yourself doing a big piece like that on? "All In" came to mind as an interesting one. 2. Do you think I'm reading too much into Ethan Page's first video after he was killed being called "Waiting Room"?

Kevin Steets

The new WWE Networks show Icons looks like it could be their version if Dark Side of The Ring, which talents/moments would you like to see them cover?

Matt Payne

With the announcements of the upcoming Manias could you see LA being the headliner for The Rock and Dallas for Undertaker?

Matt Payne

Are you excited with the announcement of AEW Unrivaled series 4 and hearing a new series will coming Unmatched will be coming?

Matt Payne

First, just want to say, LOVE the rumble piece. I'll keep it to 2 this week. 1. Rumors of Jay White popping up at rumble, but given the Bullet Club connection, would you think it would make more sense for him to be the link that brings NJPW into this AEW/Impact rivalry? I also know you have mentioned you don't think White is going anywhere and that NJPW isn't as keen on this as we might think. 2. A few months ago, Moose was on his phone with "el champion" and mentioned having people come to Impact, and that he'd bring "the bubbly". Given this and all the other little breadcrumbs they have laid, do you know how long AEW/Impact have been planning/setting this up? or at least an estimate? Thank you, sir. FTF4Life

Ray Callahan Jr

1) What are some of your favorite combo moves? I personally love a falcon arrow into an arm bar. 2) Are WWE wrestlers allowed to promote products on their social media profiles? Or is that part of the 3rd party ban?

Shawn Murray

1.  When international travel finally becomes more regular again, and assuming NJPW and ROH still have a good relationship, do you see any chance of interaction between one of the original Los Ingobernables Rush and his LaFaccion, with Naito and LIJ?  2.  I noticed ROH started showing top 5 rankings for some of their titles during this past week's tv episode. As much as I like Mark Haskins, I'm trying to understand how he was ranked #4 in one of the rankings, ahead of Jay Briscoe, when Jay has been wrestling at the ROH tapings, and Mark has just been running up and down mountains in England? Love that ROH is still trying to update things, but some of those initial rankings are a little off to me. 3.  I used to love watching Lucha Underground. It was different, had great in-ring work, and seemed to be ahead of it's time with their cinematic work too. Some of the characters from that show, I haven't seen show up anywhere since. Were people like Dario Cueto and Famous B just actors?  Dario Cueto would be an awesome GM in a company, in my opinion.  Also does AR Fox prefer to stay on on the indie scene?  Thanks. 

Paul Anthony Moss

Could you see a lot of the AEW women popping up in impact like hardy and private part have just done? Anyone who is overdue a new entrance theme? What ppv has the worst record for always having bad shows?

Cameron Hutton

Hello Sean, a fantastic job on your Royal Rumble feature. What are some of your memories of the Royal Rumble? Now we are getting crossover matches on Impact & Dynamite, is there any plan for TK buying Impact? Have a nice day & FTF ❤️

JJ Gyllenhaal

Do you think there’s a chance any Impact stars could show up on aew and win any championship in the near future? Any plans as of yet for a wwe/nxt (not counting NXT UK) PPV coming to the U.K. again post pandemic Do you think the new and improved Max Holloway we saw at this past weekend beats Alexander Volkanovski in the third fight, if Volkanovski wins in his fight against Brian Ortega reportedly at UFC 260 in March?

Tom Shucksmith

Do you think NXT Takeover events will be on separate Sunday nights from now on and won't piggyback the main roster PPVs going forward?

Jake from the Windy City

Do you have any idea on any rumble surprises for the women this year, would love to see Eva, Molly Holly, Torrie, and Melina

Manny Carvalho Santos

How in the world does WWE have a guy like aliester black on their roster and can’t figure out what to do with him ? This should be a crime.

Thomas wallk

Is there any way fightful can drop sour graps in my iTunes faster I always find myself looking sometimes for a day or two for it to drop.

Thomas wallk

Odd personal question but was always curious why you don’t hit the “like” button on many things on Twitter.

Thomas wallk

1. Do you think Alexa’s chances of winning the rumble have skyrocketed after dominating Asuka? 2. Do you think WWE will do a three faces of Foley type deal with Bray at Rumble? Funhouse bray, swamp bray, and fiend?? 3. If Goldberg wins at Royal Rumble, where do they go with McIntyre from there?

DEN Unlimited

Legitimately want to know what kind of workout regimen billy gunn’s been on for the past 20 Years after watching dark tonight.

Andrew Stadelberger

1) any chance they rearrange the thunderdome and staging to create a bigger feel for the rumble? 2) any "sleeper picks" for the rumble? 3) with big moments like the win over the bucks in the inaugural tourney and now the appearance on impact, is private party viewed as the team of the future for aew?

Jake Schwall

With Wrestlemania being in Dallas and Hollywood the next 2 years, do you think the next 2 Hall of Fame’s will headlined by The Undertaker and The Rock?

Cody Stucky

Any guess as to when moxley x kenta will finally have that match

Elaquent

Is there a reason why some people get the all elite image when signed but others don’t

Elaquent

When do you think the one hour 2nd aew show will air? Monday, Friday and wednesdays I can only assume are off limits, ditto with Thursday and Sunday’s (nfl days). Feels like Saturday is the only day that would make sense

Elaquent

do you see tony khan having more of an on screen roll as this impact/aew story continues? Or is the stuff he has been doing on impact is as far as it will go?

Trey Willier

If you were to book a Supershow featuring the biggest wrestling companies, what would your card be? When do you see Riho coming back to AEW? Who do you see beating WALTER for the NXT UK Championship?

Joshua Cyprian

Who do you think Beats Bobby Lashley for the US Title

Shawn Garner

Do you think Tessa Blanchard wrestles for A company in 2021 and which company do you think it will be AEW or WWE

Shawn Garner

All the major WWE to AEW defections have been men. If you had to guess, do you think in the next 2 years we will see a top female star rundown her contract and make the jump?

3. What’s been the thoughts of the wrestlers hearing New Japan’s apparent signing with a network in US?

Zach Ayman

Where does Taya Valkyrie end AEW or WWE

Shawn Garner

Have WWE dropped the whole Buddy and Aliyah angle?

Michael Grooms

2. Any idea on which independent wrestler that’ll be participating in the next WWE Performance Centre trial?

Zach Ayman

1. Is the beef between Joey Janela/Elyna Black legit or it’s a work?
