SHOW SUMMARY: In this episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, Todd tackles The Fix Mailbag covering these topics:

  • Was there a “Fonzie Jumping the Shark” moment for WWE when it took a turn for the worse 18 years ago?
  • Would Smackdown be better overall had Ali’s journey to the WWE Title picture come to fruition instead of the Kofi Kingston reign?
  • Why did Pac beat Kenny Omega, and would Jon Moxley have beat Omega if the match happened?
  • Did Hulk Hogan want to end Goldberg’s streak and did that lead to Kevin Nash doing it first? What about Chris Jericho getting a fluke win to end Goldberg’s streak?
  • How can AEW live up to the more sports-like aspirations they’ve touted if rules and devastating maneuvers don’t consistently matter?
  • Did Steve Austin really drive to a bar from the hospital with two fans after he broke his neck at Summerslam?
  • Was Jim Ross doing AEW a service with his critical comments about Orange Cassidy at All Out? Isn’t he speaking for audience members? Should Ross risk his reputation by staying silent or endorsing characters he disagrees with?
  • Is Nyla Rose in AEW going to be as much of a detriment as Nia Jax has been to WWE?
  • Are there enough wrestlers who can be credible against Kenny Omega in AEW?
  • How do you feel about the Dave Meltzer decision to grade matches more than five stars in recent years?
  • Will AEW come up way short in winning back lapsed fans with the current tone of the product?
  • If Vince McMahon meddles with NXT’s product, will Triple H take a stand?
  • Is New Japan setting the best example of succeeding with broad archetypes in wrestling characters?
  • Is AEW taking too big of a risk letting its wrestlers work for other companies?
  • Should MLW and AEW have a working arrangement to share talent?
  • Should WWE just fold the NXT UK roster into NXT to strengthen it going into the USA Network run?
  • Will AEW limit its audience by running on holiday weekends?
  • Is WWE heading toward a title unification for the women?
  • Does the Cracker Barrel sponsorship counter their “revolutionary” reputation?
  • Why are people high on Excallibur as an announcer?
  • Will the next Chris Jericho Cruise be incorporated into AEW on TNT?
  • In what order would you rank the four Omega-Okada matches?
  • What do you think of Don Callis’s work as color commentator?
  • Why do announcers make such a big deal out of deadlift moves in matches?
