With 16 years of hindsight, how long could the Mohammad Hassan gimmick have lasted if WWE didn’t do the angle with Undertaker during the London Bombing?  Hassan himself said something else would have killed the gimmick and it would have lasted only another year but what say you?

I agree with him.  It was a polarizing gimmick and they don’t have a long shelf life most of the time.

Thoughts on Tony Khan’s response to Big Swole?

I didn’t like them.  I fully understand why he would take offense to them, since diversity is a big part of AEW’s philosophy but his response came off badly.  Were it me, and I decided to defend myself and my company, I would have pointed out that we had not one but two Japanese champions, we had Nyla Rose, we have Jade Cargill.  Then I would have said that I am sorry she feels that way but she is wrong about the diversity in the company.  I would have never made the last line about letting her go because she wasn’t good enough.  Even if it was true, it just comes across as petty.

Is Tony Khan the 2021 version of Hulk Hogan, in that he should have to have someone read his tweets before he sends them out?

I think that comparison is spot on.

Okay, so who is really THE DEVIL in pro wrestling?  Jim Mitchell or Kevin Sullivan?

Given the way he books, I will go with Vince McMahon.

If you were Tony Khan, how far down would you pull the trigger on a CM Punk vs Bryan Danielson feud?  Do you do it with their current iterations of Sadist Heel Brian vs still getting his groove back Face Punk?

I can’t say when I would do it, though I would like to at some point, but for now I like the idea of keeping them apart and using them as two assets to help build up younger talents.  If I put them together right now, I can’t do that.  So I would say maybe in a year or so I would revisit the idea unless something organic happens before that to put them together.
