Do you think WWE and NXT will continue to use canned audio in their broadcasts once crowds are able to return?

Jim McShea

Given Okada's history with the Young Bucks (and by extension Gator Golf), if he ever appeared in AEW, should he take run at the BTE title?

I really feel the absence of Mauro Ranallo on NXT commentary—he made everything sound unrehearsed and spontaneous. Do you think the show has suffered without him?

Sean T. Collins

Why do wrestlers raise and tense their arms while on their backs on the mat when they're anticipating their opponent hitting them from off the top rope or other elevated positions? Does it break the fall somewhat?

Sean T. Collins

How long did it take for you to get used to doing podcasts and being in front of the camera, speaking?. Do you have any superstitions or rituals before you go on? I must say you come off very natural on your shows and very easy to listen to.

In your opinion does it seem like AEW has too many things going on at once?

Swissroll Chris

Have a happy holiday season SRS, get some rest. Don't have any questions I particularly need answered.

Bryan D'Ambra

Hi Sean. Do you have have any info on why the match between Flair and Hogan never happened in WWE. Follow up, do you think either man will ever disclose the truth. I found the wwe network series has all parties not willing to discuss. Keep up the great work Fightful team ✌

What is the purpose of the FTW title?

Swissroll Chris

When she was still wrestling weekly, do you know if there was ever any backstage interest in an Asuka/Rousey match?

Dev W.

I have liked the announcing of Andy Shepherd on NXT UK. I think he is very good. Do you know what he was doing and where before NXT UK?

Reid Greenspan

Do you think Adam Cole would go-to AEW when his contract is up? Or is he own of "Ones" that WWE would out bid AEW to keep him?

NateF_81

3) How would you book the Young Bucks title reign?

Jonathan Stone

2) What do you see Hangman doing following his loss to Omega?

Jonathan Stone

Favorite guilty pleasure tv show?

Matt Payne

1) Seems like Nick Aldis has heat with numerous people in the industry. Is there any truth to that?

Jonathan Stone

How do these phantom call ups affect a performer’s contract?

Kristopher Phillips

1. If we assume that the Jan Blachcowicz-Izzy fight has been set as a way to get to the inevitable Jones-Izzy fight what happens if Jan starches Izzy? 2. What does NJPW have to do to make inroads in the North American market? 3. Who is the best play by play guy ever and why is it Gordon Solie?

Mark Hebert

1. If you can't talk about it, I understand, but was there ever a follow up to the Darby Allin Speaking Out allegations or a comment from AEW about it?

Joshua MacDougall

Does marko stunt take bluechew?

Cameron Hutton

1. Any info on Blake Christian? He kills it on everything he's on. Feels like he's getting to a point that someone will pick him up full time. 2. Legally speaking, once a covid vaccine is approved and available, can organizations force talent to get the vaccine?

Kevin Steets

I've seen people thinking the T Shirt designs for WWE are lazy and outright bad, with praise for AEW shirts being cool. What do you think about the merch designs for both companies?

anakinjmt

Regarding the RAW rundowns you used to get, why do you think WWE cared if you reported on who produced which match? Were they not wanting agents that produced bad matches to get bagged on online, or was there another reason?

anakinjmt

Has there been any serious attempt by AEW to buy the All In footage, and how likely do you think it is that AEW eventually acquires it?

anakinjmt

1. With a win on AEW Dark are Top Flight signed with the company? They have been quite impressive. 2. Several weeks ago Jericho mentioned teaming with Hager going forward to chase after the Tag Team titles. Any word if that is going to resume or has it been shelved? 3. Should we expect Zicky Dice to pop up somewhere on TV in the new year and where do you think it will be?

Brian Bayless

1. Do you think we're going to see some NWA storylines playing out on Dynamite and/or Dark with Thunder Rosa seemingly coming after Serena Deeb to get her title back? 2. There was a pretty heated discussion with Meltzer & Alvarez regarding Ibushi still getting a title shot for Naito's titles despite losing his G1 briefcase to Jay White. Do you agree or disagree that this seemingly makes winning the G1 pointless for next year's Wrestle Kingdom when the champion can choose who he can give a title shot to? 3. Are WWE, or at least NXT, trying to take this pandemic and Covid testing seriously? Would be nice if they can end 2020 without news of another outbreak and causing more frustration in the roster again.

Sheila Antonio

speaking of real life Heat, do you know when and how the hatchet was buried between Matt Hardy and Edge. I was happy when the Hardyz were on E&C’s podcast a couple years ago and when they did the table for 3 together

Kristopher Bordine

Is there heat between Cody and Nick Aldis? If so what? It sounded like it during Cody’s conference call.

Kristopher Bordine

1) any concerns within AEW about length of ppvs pushing 4 hours or are they more than ok with it since only running 4 ppvs a year and charging more? 2) with walter having a banger of a match vs dragunov, who takes the title off walter? 3) any updates of karrion kross and where does he go when he comes back, NXT title picture right away or maybe up to main?

Jake Schwall

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable seeing Sammy Guevara on tele?? I know what he said is different to the allegations that Riddle and Dream have but I have the same feeling seeing him on Dynamite? Just wanted your thoughts. If you don’t want to answer cause it’s a touchy subject that’s more than fine

Scott Young

Have you heard anything about Rascalz next move might be ? Do you know if AEW has interest in Aaron Solow? Feels he’s one of the best things on AEW dark when he’s on

Manuel Rosales

1. Is there any update as to where RVD may go next? 2. Is WWE trying to negotiate a new deal for Brock Lesnar? 3. Any news on if AEW is still interested on doing Jericho vs Tyson?

Erik Rios

Did have Heyman have a voice in the draft? Because I looked at everyone who moved to SD (Seth, Rey, Profits, KO, Riotts, Black, Murphy) were all given pushes during Heyman s run on Raw

C

What is one or few match types WWE has that you would like to see happen in AEW? You think any company will mention biden as president since some completely avoided mentioning trump?

Cameron Hutton

I would scream in excitement to see Lio pop up in AEW. Can you imagine the promo he could cut on WWE... To quote SRS...HOT DOG!!! (FUCK MICKEY MOUSE! lol)

Ray Callahan Jr

How much money would it take for Walter to come to the main roster? Or would Vince ruin him too?

Charlie Williams Jr.

1. What do you think is more likely at Survivor Series. Taker being the suprise 5th entrant for SmackDown. (similar to his surprise appearance when he debuted) or a heel attacking him to "get over". If the latter, please not Corbin... 2. Ricochet's gear lately is his R symbol, but it's been black and white. Do you think he ends up being in Retribution. Even in losing to Ali, it put them both on TV. Maybe they "planned this" off of their main event matches? 3. Who do you think we see show up at Turning Point to challenge Rohit?

Ray Callahan Jr

Do you think NXT should do a Breakout Tournament for the women? If so, Who would you like to see in that tournament? What is your take on the AEW Games Presentation? What do you think is the absolute worst match that you've seen?

Joshua Cyprian

Do you think Retribution will reveal themselves by unmasking

Shawn Garner

When do you think we will get news on Tessa Blamchard or Melina

Shawn Garner

Any news on where the Rascalz end up

Shawn Garner

Even Seth storyline is interesting to me. Literally the same program as Raw

Raul Ortega

3) Do you see Walter ever moving to NXT (in the US) or main roster? I know he doesn’t want to leave the UK, but he’s a mega star waiting to happen if given bigger audiences.

Oliver

2) Any news on plans for Big E?

Oliver

1) What’re your thoughts on the Amazing Red? I feel like he doesn’t get enough praise for all he did over the years.

Oliver

With Darby being the first AEW grown talent getting a title. Who do you see being the next home grown talent to win the other titles? Why is SD so much better than Raw? Is there a different team working it? Do you see WWE struggling to resign (for close to or more money) with USA or fox after their current deal is up?

Raul Ortega

Hi Sean 1) Watching old videos & what was it like working with former WCW Champ Vince Russo? 2) When will Andrew Yang start coming after WWE about the use of “independent” contract? 3) Now that Cody Rhodes has got his name back duo to given up on old WCW trademarks & WWE now trademarking old WCW names what are the chances of NXT changing names to WCW & running WCW PPV’s? Have a nice day & FTF ❤️

JJ Gyllenhaal

Hey srs, 1. Who's been impressing you on aew dark lately? 2. Whats your thoughts on Cody's defense of the shida v Rose booking by saying people have been conditioned to need initial conflict to book a match rather than being the top ranked contender?

Ben Williams

Any other toy lines (non wwe) you're thinking about starting to collect with your trips to Toy Vomit?

Matt Payne

There are a lot of theories that Lana will be the sole survivor of the women's Survivor Series match, but do you think Bianca would be better off with that rub?

Dev W.

1) Have you ever had a wrestler threaten you after being unhappy with something you’ve reported on? 2) Do you know why Brodie Lee has been off TV? 3) What do you think wrestling websites would do for news if you and Dave Meltzer took a months vacation at the same time?!

Matt Hookey

Do you know how WWE Creative is structured? By that, I mean do writers get to keep their own pitched ideas or does it change week-to-week as far as who is working on specific storylines?

Dev W.

1. Assuming he will be at Wrestlemania next year, who would you have John Cena face? 2. In your opinion you believe Rock v Roman will happen at Wrestlemania?

With the NWA Women’s title appearing more on AEW programming, and uncertainty of NWAs future, do you think that AEW is gearing to present this as a secondary title for women? I can’t help but think how cool that idea may be, due to women traditionally having just one belt to feud over.

1)How many Wrestlemania’s have you been to? 2) Thoughts on Maria Manic? I haven’t seen much of her work but think she has a great look

Shawn Murray

After Lio Rush’s TNT title tweet, have you heard anything about him & AEW? Any talks, or even interest on AEW’s side? Are Top Flight either signed or likely to sign with AEW soon? Why was their title match pulled? Thanks for everything.

HeyBroItsBrad

I saw that Aron Stevens and JR Kratos won the NWA tag titles, and apparently Kratos was revealed as the Question Mark. I could of sworn that the Question Mark was going to be Jocephus. It looked quite like him. Was he the one originally playing that role, and do you know if the plan the whole time was to reveal Kratos as the Question Mark?
