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:

• How could Hulk Hogan have actually double-crossed the prosecution in the steroid trial given how immunity processes usually work, with insight into what likely happened regarding cross-examination that caught the prosecutors off guard
• What really went wrong with the NWO themed hour of Nitro and could the concept have worked?
• Would Hogan have beaten Gawker in court if the racist comments had been released rather than the sexual footage, or if both were released together?
• Why did Vince McMahon position himself as the lead announcer for so long in the WWF?
• Has WWE become a “morally bankrupt company”? This includes Todd’s pushback on some of the backlash against WWE bringing Lesnar back, even though he personally would have voted against brining him back
• Why didn’t C.M. Punk just leave the ring instead of letting Seth Rollins beat him up and cash in?
• Why did that crowbar not get used during most of the Becky Lynch-Lyra Valkyria match?
• Are there any pro wrestling products together that adhere to more logic?
• What are the top three “Japanese slimeball wrestling returns” in history?
• Some additional thoughts on the ESPN-WWE deal regarding pricing compared to Peacock
• Is there such a thing as having “too many Latino stars”?
• Is it surprising Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes still have jobs in WWE?
• Are non-sports fans the biggest “victims” in this new WWE-ESPN deal?
• Is there truth to the reporting about heat on MVP backstage in WWE?
• Shouldn’t there be more blowback against WWE bringing Lesnar back?
• Does WWE hate U.S. fans given how segmented viewing is across so many platforms now?
• Could WWE Underground have worked out somehow?
• Is Lesnar going to be the last straw for some WWE fans?
• Is is premature and inaccurate to say WWE is already experiencing a business downturn for some booking decisions this year?
• What’s next for Jade Cargill?
• What will the actual fallout be for WWE bringing Lesnar back?
• What is the length of time a wrestler should be given to get over before giving up on them, with Karrion Kross as an example?
