Fightful Select

Nope can’t say I do, but I do view him as a mark playing wrestling promoter. However, did I miss your comments during his last few mark out sessions?

Arturo Gonzalez III

Bro just admit you've got a Tony Khan voodoo doll at this point. I get it, you don't like him.

Fightful Select

1. At this point, who would you call AEW’s most disappointing signing? 2. After WWE’s third party edict, have you heard from any talent who said they will not re-sign with the company as a result? 3. Any plans to add other members to Retribution?

Brian Bayless

Over/under 6 months till retribution is gone?

Brennon Richardson

Following up with that, can you give a couple big time names you don’t see resigning with wwe ?

Brennon Richardson

If you could guess a rough percentage of current wwe wrestlers who won’t resign when there contract is up, what would be your guess ?

Brennon Richardson

Do you think the Evil turn was done prematurely, give that Jay White returned like a month later and he dropped both titles back to Naito almost immediately?

Srs do you think Shinsuke goes back to NJPW or possibly AEW when his deal is up? I feel like his main roster run hasn’t been what I wanted or anticipated.

Josh Wilburn

Do you know of the working relationships between agents and the writers in the WWE? Do they work together to create cohesion between a story arc and the matches or do they just work independently of each other.

Just curious do you know if each brand has its own set of producers/agents in the WWE or are they all intermingled throughout the shows.

1 - Refs SRS I don’t know much about them. How do they become refs, application process, training, who’s over them and finally what’s the rough salary! 2- Marijuana. This is not for me, but I wonder is it popular in wrestling and is it Illegal in sports entertainment? Would it not be disadvantageous to be “High”. Finally any testing for this? 3-Jack Gallagher. Jack has very recently put up his account and admission from the Speaking Up Account on his Twitter. Full hands up.Having heard others stories and with the greatest respect to women, could he not have had sensitivity training and salary donation to victims of abuse. This was not a grave offence? Should Jack ever get a second chance?

Aidan O'Connell

3.Can you see Shotzi Blackheart winning the NXT women's title at some point? (if she doesn't kill herself with some of those dives first Woof.)

Marc Forbes

1.Are they trying to turn Bianca Bellair heel with these Mr.Perfect like vignettes? 2.Should Candace LaRae have beaten Io Shiri at TakeOver? I say yes, Ember beats Candace, Dakota beats Ember, Io beats Dakota to become 2 time NXT womens champ.

Marc Forbes

1. Are they going to keep Retribution and Hurt Business exclusively on RAW after the draft? It just seems a little faction heavy for one of the main roster shows. 2. It's nice to see Kairi Sane again! Is she just a WWE Ambassador or does she have a bigger role than that, especially after the whole NXT Japan thing fell through? 3. With Harold Meij leaving New Japan soon, does this affect AEW at all? Would New Japan continue to feature AEW wrestlers occasionally on their tours but not have an official working relationship where they can exchange talents? By the way, stop picking on Denise just because she dips pizza in ranch!! It's not weird!

Sheila Antonio

Miss any athletic/social hobbies during this pandemic? I'm just north of 40, my grappling hobbyist/weekend warrior days are largely done, but pandemic makes me miss it even more than usual, tell myself I'm going back AND sticking with it THIS time ha. Gyms have reopened here, but I can't see going back to roll or even learn from some distance til vaccine is widespread and full force. Cool to hear of you and your wife hitting the rasslin memorabilia place, new hobby, good stuff. What are you champing at the bit to return to sooner or later?

Bryan Ward

Hey Srs. Do you think we eventually get sister Abigail as Alexa’s alter ego? The possibility’s have me intrigued, even though I’m terrified WWE will screw it up. I feel like if she gets a mask it could be awesome and a huge merch item.

Josh Wilburn

3. If you could round up a number how many NJPW or WWE wrestlers that have inquired about working for AEW or any other wrestling promotion in the lead up to there contract expiring

Zach Ayman

Hi Sean. How much Impact have you been watching & what are your thoughts since the buzz from Slammiversary? Have a great week & JAM THAT JAM ❤️

JJ Gyllenhaal

2. Kota Ibushi’s contract expires in 2021, has there been talks of him re-signing with the company?

Zach Ayman

1. How much of an influence did Harold Meij play apart of re-signing Kota Ibushi back in 2019?

Zach Ayman

1. I dont know much about ivelisse so I was wondering what the talk of her historical attitude issues are referring to? 2. Do you have to have many discussions with jimmy before working outside shows like inside the ropes? I imagine its potentially good promotion for fightful select.

Ben Williams

1) would the timing of the draft make more sense after wrestlemania rather than towards the end of the year and does a shakeup work better rather than a full draft? 2) last year your boy humberto Carrillo was the guy that was drafted higher and was used immediately, is there a lesser known guy on the roster/205 live this year that you see getting that opportunity? 3) how much has BTE helped get the dark order over with fans, especially Silver and Anna Jay? Those 2 are the constant highlights every week

Jake Schwall

1. Have you heard any talk about any of the current free agents signing anywhere? Who do you think will be the next big debut we see on any of the major companies? 2. What are your thoughts on WWE employees possibly unionizing? Do you think it could actually happen? I personally think it would be great and is long overdue. 3. Is there any talk of bringing Raw Underground back once the covid outbreak in WWE has subsided?

John S

Do you have any update on Lars Sullivan?

Matt Hookey

If you had to pick one wrestler to have a one off match on NXT (like Liger did at TakeOver: Brooklyn), who would you choose?

Joshua Cyprian

Any word on Austin’s podcast still on retro episodes?

Arturo Gonzalez III

1. Any update on Kamille? I know she's been doing fitness competitions, but with NWA working with AEW, do you think we see her there? 2. So, Io still with the title. Rhea called her shot, then we got Toni and Ember returning, basically doing the same thing. Think we are headed for a fatal 4 way? 3. What's been your favorite new saying you've developed during No Profanity September. What was your most Ned Flanders moment?

Ray Callahan Jr

Who do you think beats Shayna and Nia for the tag titles

Shawn Garner

Who should Asukas next challenger

Shawn Garner

Which NXT superstars do you see moving in the Draft

Shawn Garner

1. If you could reset the WWE with their championships- what titles would you keep, get rid of or introduce?

Arthur Steel

1: after watching their match on Raw, I’m very worried they will be splitting Ruby/Liv up in the draft, have you heard anything about this? 2. Do you think WWE sells their network to a streaming service before Mania next year? 3. Paige is clearly unhappy in WWE but she isn’t being used on tv and can’t wrestle, so wouldn’t it be easier for her to quit?

C

What's the match that got you into wrestling? Were you a WCW or WWF guy during Monday night wars? What's AEW roof look like if they stay on Wednesday opposed and unopposed?

Raul Ortega

If you could make a all star traditional Survivor Series match (past vs present) who would you have on the teams?

Matt Payne

Do you see any NXT stars in the Draft, even though it looks like NXT isn't in the draft (as far as picking wrestlers)

DrgnMstrAdam

Any idea on when Sonya will return and what brand she may be affiliated with?

Matt Payne

Do you know if the whole 3rd party thing in the WWE affects talent with Patreon’s & clothing brands? For example aleister black has a brand with black craft,Randy Orton recently launched his,Chelsea green has a Patreon & Johnny gargano & Candice have merch on pro wrestling tees,do you think the wwe will ask for their cut?

How would you utilize the stacked womens division in NXT with the additions of Ember and Toni? Move a few up to Smackdown?

Matt Payne

3) Are there any plans for Samoa Joe to get back in the ring? If he’s healthy (and that’s a big if), he’s a tremendous boost to any show

Oliver

2) Where does Velveteen go from here? Aside from his troubles, I’m not sure what else he can really accomplish in NXT.

Oliver

1, Did you enjoy Sheamus babyface World Heavyweight title run in 2012? 2. Do you think by Summer of 2021, WWE will start traveling to different arenas for raw and smackdown with fans like it once was? Also, this a bold question but when do you expect full capacity of fans again? 3. In the last 10 years, who do you think was the best booked stable/faction in WWE? For me it’s The Shield.

YOUNG BIBBY

1) Any plans for a Bo Dallas return?

Oliver

Did Ben Carter travel from UK during the pandemic and got his visa or was he in states and not working before he made his AEW debut? Any word on PAC?

ronak patel

Hey Sean, what are the chances Retribution is a part of the draft? They are under contract right? I'm also putting way more thought into this than WWE has right?

Eric Shepperd

1.). Do you think there will be other stars on main roster who were already underutilized join Retribution or is the group size good enough for now? 2.). Who would you like to see from Raw and Smackdown go to NXT? 3.). Any Tessa Blanchard updates?

JJ

Hey sean, how far up the card “if” the retribution storyline is a success can Ali go?

Ben Taylor

What’s with the comments on the hhh media call while others are asking their questions? Never hear you do that on tks
