SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

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:

  • Where have the female fans gone compared to the presence in 1984 Mid-South Wrestling footage?
  • What are examples of wrestlers getting their comeuppance after examples of bullying or improper conduct such as the Rick Steiner-Vordell Walker incident in 2005?
  • Would Razor Ramon/Scott Hall have been given a WWF Title reign if he hadn’t jumped to WCW?
  • Did Vince McMahon book the first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania just to say he was the first to do it or was there more to it?
  • What’s up with Jim Cornette trashing Dave Meltzer’s star ratings for AEW’s Forbidden Door? What’s his beef with AEW and Meltzer? What’s behind the Cornette-Meltzer falling out?
  • Thoughts on the “Dark Side of the Ring” on TNA being slanted toward the Jeff Jarret perspective or framing of the dynamic with Dixie Carter
  • Thoughts on Ric Flair being fired from WCW in 1992, the Dr. George Zahorian verdict, and the first Global Wrestling Federation TV taping all covered in PWTorch Newsletter #129.
  • Should WWE experiment with giving one of the two World Titles to someone not yet firmly established as a top star or top draw?
  • Comparing the recent title changes in WWE and AEW, including whether Sami Zayn is hurt by this short reign and whether Omega is closer to retiring than he’s let on
  • Thoughts on the TRT era quietly returning to the sport given the news on Conor McGregor
  • More on Dark Side of the Ring on TNA
  • Does the side of the crowd watching Kenny Omega’s AEW Title win make it feel less important than CM Punk’s win in front of four-times the crowd in Chicago?
  • Was WWE’s approach to having nearly four minutes of TV time after Punk’s win better than AEW’s mere two minutes?
  • Was Gunther smashing Cody’s head in a car door undersold?
  • Is Seth Rollins a hypocrite and awful at trying to do meta content aimed at Roman Reigns considering how it compares to CM Punk?
  • Is “Breaking Bad” overrated? What are the top TV prestige series according to Wade and Todd?
