WWE/ESPN partnership

I am here to confirm to you that yes, it is true [that WWE requested ESPN remove letter grades from reviews]. It was indeed WWE's decision to nix those letter grades.

When you give WWE a 'C', you're giving a 'C' to the very soul of the product. It's basically like saying... it's almost closer to like giving a '30 for 30' a 'D+'... it makes WWE look a little nuts.

Road Dogg WWE departure

Road Dogg is no longer on the creative team at WWE. The news broke that he was... he kind of saw the writing on the wall, his power was diminishing, he decided to walk away of his own accord.

WrestleMania 41 plans

There was a rumor this week that it's going to be Brock Lesnar versus Gunther at WrestleMania. Now, there were some conflicting reports on this, but we've been saying it's got to be Obafemi now for a couple weeks.

If you don't do Obafemi versus Brock, what do you do with Obafemi? And if you do do Obafemi versus Brock, what do you do with Gunther?

AEW Revolution/Hangman Page

I think if he [Hangman Adam Page] does lose, if he does disqualify himself from ever wrestling for the title again, I think it sort of explodes that whole piece of criticism against AEW. If you can book that storyline correctly, then Tony Khan can basically say, 'See? It wasn't a bad idea.'

I think MJF is going to win. I think Hangman's going to not have the ability to challenge it, and I really didn't think of a way around it, but until you mentioned the Swerve Strickland of it all where it's like Swerve hates this guy so much he lifts the stipulation.

Bret Hart on WWE creative

If you want five more seasons of 'Unreal' and every wrestler you talk to is like, 'I hate that they show how the sauce is made,' all you need to do is hire Bret Hart to be part of the creative team and have him and Triple H just sit in that war room and turn the cameras on. I'm watching.

AEW Tag Team Championship

The Young Bucks have turned into sympathetic babyfaces, and it's probably too soon to throw the titles back on them. FTR is really getting their sea legs as heels.

Jon Moxley

Moxley is the workhorse of workhorses in WWE, he's the workhorse in AEW, he's the workhorse when he was a heel. It went against him, but now fans have a massive appreciation for it because he never phones it in.
