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:
- Is the Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins storyline hurting Seth?
- Is pro wrestling resilient enough that it would have survived as an embedded part of American pop culture without Vince McMahon’s national vision in the mid-1980s, whereas roller derby was not?
- Does AEW have a star power problem in that their top stars are quirky, weird, anxious, awkward, and unserious, plus can’t beat anyone quickly?
- Would Todd consider reviewing AAA’s weekly TV show on The Fix?
- Have “gimmick” personalities of wrestlers been unfairly stigmatized or maligned?
- Has there a lasting negative impact on pro wrestling because of the Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar part-time champion reigns?
- Favorite Summerslam intro sequences
- Judy Bagwell
- Was Grayson Waller’s promo on NXT yet another tired pseudo-shoot promo behind the times or the new work?
- Is pro wrestling becoming increasing niche and are more and more fans following pro wrestling in snippets instead of full-length shows?
- Is the babyface-heel dynamic more important to full-time viewers compared to casual, occasional viewers?
- Could WWE use a cliffhanger on night 1 of Summerslam to get a boost for night 2?
- What nation does the AEW National Title represent?
- Brock Lesnar’s WWE departure in 2004
- Has the more layered build for Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay added intrigue? What about The Death Riders and The Young Bucks being involved too?
- Should AEW have promoted the return of “Hangman” Adam Page to TV to frame him as a bigger deal than just a guy who shows up randomly?
- Could discounted Summerslam tickets lead to more casual reactions to the event since it won’t be attended by hardcore fans with deep pockets?
- Thoughts on Anthony Smith’s domestic violence allegations
