- Is Adam Copeland being this hard already showing signs of failing and making AEW look bad pushing a WWE “castoff” as their top star?
- What kind of career in pro wrestling could Ken Shamrock have had if he had gone all-in on pro wrestling? Could he have had a Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar type of legacy?

- Re-book the WWF from Summerslam ’97 through WrestleMania 2000.
- Assembling a potential – but unlikely – loaded potential UFC 300 line-up.

- Could NXT be as good as the Black & Gold era again?
- Has AEW, in five years, helped wrestler pay and wrestler schedules compared to if they hadn’t existed?
- Would a ladder ranking system work for all of AEW’s titles to explain who qualifies to challenge for each?
- Doesn’t reality being a central part of the presentation of pro wrestling have inherently superior value to creating a fictional world?
- With the war currently being waged in Israel, do you see any scenarios in which WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia would be negatively affected, postponed, or even cancelled?
- Is the reference to Bullet Club on commentary during Fastlane a sign of a softening of Vince McMahon’s rules about references to pro wrestling outside of WWE?

- Reaction to a five-point proposal to get AEW’s booking on track.
