There will be a second Fix Mailbag session this week.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is it better to have one clear challenger for MJF at a time or a bunch of people targeting him as is the case now?<\/li>\n<li>What were the circumstances and process of Todd Martin joining PWTorch?<\/li>\n<li>Who would be more successful if they switched promotions, MJF as the WWE World Champion or Seth Rollins as the AEW World Champion?<\/li>\n<li>Who would be a better fit if they switched promotions, Paul Heyman going to AEW or Don Callis going to WWE?<\/li>\n<li>Todd shared his story of attending the event when Scott Hall showed up in ECW<\/li>\n<li>Todd&#8217;s top Bellator memories<\/li>\n<li>Picks for who will win the Royal Rumble this January and who would they face at WrestleMania? If the choice is Cody, who would a good alternative be if not him for any reason?<\/li>\n<li>Is it a distinct possibility that Raw&#8217;s new TV deal would cut the length down to two hours and what are the pros and cons of that?<\/li>\n<li>Would AEW have been better off if the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega weren&#8217;t every part of AEW? Is it time for Omega to step back with the pain he&#8217;s in?<\/li>\n<li>How did the Young Bucks manage to keep their EVP titles after instigating a confrontation backstage that led to a brawl?<\/li>\n<li>Todd differentiates between being anti-time travel and anti-dragons and other science fiction such as vampires and werewolves?<\/li>\n<li>Would it be worth moving WrestleMania from a premium streaming network to selling the rights to a broadcast channel like the Super Bowl?<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts on the state of wrestling journalism, including aggregators taking reputable news reports and featuring them without context?<\/li>\n<li>Is it hurting AEW attendance that you never know when tickets go on sale which of the top stars will be on the show, since so often so many are missing?<\/li>\n<li>Should Sheamus return as a heel or babyface? If he were to join AEW, which wrestler should get the first Brogue Kick?<\/li>\n<li>Is Prince Nana counter-productive as a manager for Swerve Strickland&#8217;s current character?<\/li>\n<li>Why Todd is against Toni Storm&#8217;s character when she seems so popular with the majority of fans?<\/li>\n<li>Why did Vince McMahon recently sell off so much TKO stock?<\/li>\n<li>Was Triple H grinning inside at Summerslam knowing he&#8217;d be controlling WWE instead of Vince McMahon for the foreseeable future? Who found out before it was announced that Paul Levesque was getting the power over Vince?<\/li>\n<li>Is WarGames a good gimmick match for WWE?<\/li>\n<li>How does the Full Gear story with MJF, Adam Cole, and Jay White make any sense? Is AEW looking more and more like a promotion doomed to fail?<\/li>\n<li>If Eddie Kingston or Swerve Strickland win the Continental Classic, does it elevate either of them? Or would it define the whole tournament down as a mid-carder tournament? Or is it just too hard to tell until it plays out?<\/li>\n<li>Did AEW fail to capitalize on Swerve&#8217;s win over Hangman Page?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2023\/11\/20231130TM2.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
