Would you say it's an internet thing or AEW having a major financial backer right out the gate?

Combination of both. The companies have a bunch of momentum but Khan's money and influence helped them get TNT, which was the game changer. The internet was nothing like it is today when the other companies started so it's a lot easier for fans to know about AEW.

So you were saying you want to see McIntyre as the face of the company. I canâ??t argue with that, but could you ever actually see him as a face? I guess heâ??d have to be to truly become mainstream, Iâ??m just not sure if heâ??s good enough at it. Iâ??ve never seen him as one.

Then again, a great heel can develop a truly great face. Look at Goldberg stemming off Hogan.

Also, given his recent bout with leukemia, will they ever turn Reigns heel? Letâ??s say someone like McIntyre becomes the face of the company. Iâ??m not saying soon, as thatâ??s not going to happen. But he might have 10 years left.

What's up with Ryder and Hawkins? I haven't seen them lately. Anyway, what's going on with the Viking warriors? I also haven't seen much of them lately as well.

He was a good face in Impact.

Never, ever say never in wrestling. It can be done, as can anything.

Neither have been on Raw in over a month. No explanation for it, though it wouldn't shock me if it was Vince being annoyed at the backlash to Viking Experience.

I remember the days when a lot of us (myself included) were fans of Ziggler and wanted him pushed. Now a lot of us don't care about him either way. However on the flip side a lot of us will still praise Zack Ryder why is this?

*Can also add people like Me Kennedy in with Ziggler

Do you think the whole thing of Lesnar cashing in at Super ShowDown on Seth Rollins is misdirection? I just have this feeling that they'll have Lesnar cash in on Kofi Kingston instead as a means of having Lesnar show up on SmackDown in order to help out with sagging ratings and Lesnar's run, which would last, at the very least, to the end of this year, would coincide with SmackDown moving to Fox and Fox wanting to have as many big names on the SmackDown roster as it can. So Lesnar winning the title would provide an excuse for him to be part of the blue brand.

Who gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame first; Victoria or Molly Holly?

Ziggler has not changed a bit in years. It's the same "I'M TOTALLY SERIOUS THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT" promo from him every single time and it never changes. People get sick of it and know there's no point in getting invested. Ryder never really got the chance in the first place and people feel sorry for him. Ziggler got the chance and just didn't change.

Yep. I thought that the second he said "Friday" on Raw.

Molly, though they're on equal footing for me.

Who would you have won between Austin and Hogan?

Do you think the cancelled CM Punk vs Kevin Nash match would have been any good?
