I was wondering if there was any update on WALTER coming to work full-time in the States?

There's no concrete update.  When he initially signed with WWE, we were told WALTER was steadfast that he didn't want to relocate to the States, which the company respected.  Over the last year, we are told that there have been changes in WALTER's personal life that have led him to being more open to moving to the States.  It hasn't happened but the belief is that's more and more likely to happy now than it would have a few years ago.  So, stay tuned. 

What female star would you like to see honored by the WWE Hall of Fame next year?

I'll expand this to say that in general, I'd love to see a lot more attention on Velvet McIntyre, who I always felt was a great talent but never, for some reason, is in the conversation as one of the all time greats.

I saw you make reference on audio this week to MTV making WWE remove content on the WWE Network.  What's the story there?

I was referring to the MTV broadcasts of The War to Settle the Score and The Brawl To End It All.  At one point, they were added to the WWE Network but later removed as the belief is Viacom, the owners of MTV, have laid claim to ownership of the content.

Why isn't AEW on HBO Max?

Without knowing any of the particulars, my guess is that the initial WarnerMedia deal involving AEW didn't include streaming rights for replays of the content and the two sides have never come to terms on a financial agreement to make that happen.

Is it true MLW is going dark until March?

No truth to that whatsoever.  They have monthly tapings lined up in Philadelphia from January on.  They are taping next month in Mexico.  So, no truth.

Are there any NXT talents you think could work on the main roster right now?

Lots of talents can make the transition, if WWE actually uses them to their fullest, which let's face it, doesn't always happen.  I feel that as a character, Dexter Lumis seems built for the WWE shenanigans on the main roster.
