SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Should Brock Lesnar’s return have been delayed until it was closer to the John Cena match?
- Why is C.M. Punk’s “Pipe Bomb” promo celebrated but Vince Russo’s 2000 shoot style promo aimed at Hulk Hogan wasn’t?
- A request to recognize Roy Shire’s Northern California territory from the 1960s and ’70s
- Grading a list of 20+ main event ex-champion wrestlers in terms of their it-factor that led to drawing fans
- Todd’s list of dozens of recommended movies
- Will AEW have to move away from the PPV model? If they moved their PPVs to streaming, would the length and format change for a different audience?
- Do Rusev and Aleister Black already regret leaving AEW?
- Will fans in Europe scoff at the length of AEW live events they attend?
- What does WWE gain from the perceived bullying of AEW?
- Wouldn’t TNA moving to Wednesdays essentially be a suicide mission for TNA?
- Should WWE aim to diversity the look of the women’s roster away from being so dolled up?
- Is Seth Rollins going to hold back Bron Breakker because he’s so mid and hasn’t adjusted at all in this new Vision faction?
- Does AAA under WWE’s control feel second-rate?
- Did AEW sour on Jade Cargill?
- Thoughts on the setting for NXT TV this week?
- How truly stupid was the MJF-Hangman-Mark Briscoe angle on Dynamite this week?
- Is Bron Breakker’s upside not as high as so many are forecasting?
- Is Breakker a more well-rounded act than Rick Steiner in 1990?
- Were The Radicalz when they arrived in WWE kind of ridiculous looking?
