Punk&#8217;s advice?<\/li>\n<li>How good were the High Flyers (Jim Brunzell &amp; Greg Gagne) in the AWA in the 1980s?<\/li>\n<li>Is there still a place for fighting in the NHL?<\/li>\n<li>Isn&#8217;t it true that Roman Reigns didn&#8217;t trigger a boom period for WWE and that it wasn&#8217;t until Sami Zayn took off that business took off? Should that be a reason WWE should have skipped Cody Rhodes and stuck with Sami as his WrestleMania opponent?<\/li>\n<li>Does it make sense that Excalibur said a fall could be scored in the Iron Man match because one wrestler was down for a ten count?<\/li>\n<li>Why has Jay Lethal received seven title shots since arriving in AEW?<\/li>\n<li>Who would be a better bet to invest in as a top WWE star, Austin Theory or Montez Ford?<\/li>\n<li>Who would Batista have eventually lost to if he beat Randy Orton at WrestleMania 30?<\/li>\n<li>Reaction to the Khans asking for billions of dollars from Jacksonville for stadium renovations?<\/li>\n<li>If WWE were purchased by the Saudi government, would AEW benefit greatly immediately?<\/li>\n<li>Does the Kenny Omega-AEW relationship hinge on how the video game does given Tony Khan has said it was an &#8220;eight-figure investment&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>Would it make sense to make ROH the C.M. Punk show and see what he could do to build the brand and draw viewers?<\/li>\n<li>Would disgruntled or disillusioned AEW fans feel better if C.M. Punk and AEW management worked out their differences in a high-profile way?
