PODCAST ALERTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT (YOUR ARTICLE STARTS A FEW CUMMER LOWER)…

SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week’s episode of The Fix, PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:

  • Which wrestler entrance stage videos stand out as the best and worst over the years?
  • Why do we love professional wrestlers stretching beyond the confines of the wrestling shows, like Tony Khan wearing a neck brace during the NFL draft?
  • Is Tony Khan sending positive questions about AEW to The Fix under a fake name?
  • Is the praise for spotfest matches without sales and psychology making things worse and will things return to a more balanced in-ring presentation that actually seems to work better, with WWE’s popularity being proof of that?
  • Does the current leaked information about The Rock as an egomaniac match what he was like years ago during his stints with WWE?
  • Is it worth considering that WWE moved Raw to Netflix to avoid ratings scrutiny every week?
  • Is it known if Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque have signed a prenuptial agreement regarding Levesque taking over WWE one day?
  • Memories of the Torch Trading Block appear in the newsletters of the early 1990s.
  • If Hulk Hogan had stayed in the AWA, would the AWA have thwarted Vince McMahon’s national expansion and eventual dominance?
  • Did AEW commenter Swerve bury Strickland by saying Samoa Joe would beat him more often than not if they had rematches?
  • What was the origin and significance of newsstand pro wrestling magazines in the pre-internet era?
  • Did it look bad for AEW and Tony Khan to rip WWE on NFL Network and then days later Patrick Mahomes showed up on Raw?
  • Shouldn’t matches be judged differently than just being a barrage of highlights, such as whether the matches had a purpose and accomplished it and advanced a story or a wrestler’s journey?
  • Which five wrestlers would benefit from a jump from WWE to AEW and which five would benefit from AEW to WWE?
  • What made Vince McMahon screw up the TBS timeslot he got in 1984 after Black Saturday?
  • Can Trick Williams handle the added burden following the departure of the NXT roster to Raw and Smackdown?
  • How will the latest development in the Janel Grant lawsuit impact Vince McMahon’s defense, especially with the seemingly new approach John Laurinitis is taking?
