When I think of matches I enjoy, there isn't a common theme. It can be anything from a technical master-class (eg. Okada v Omega), or something that is absurd and ridiculous (Zayn vs Knoxville). Is there a match you know of that incorporates both, and can be considered (even though you don't like ratings) a five star match? Or will it always be subjective?

To me, rating matches will always be subjective.  Wrestling is an art form and different people like different things from art.

Would you agree that Britt Baker going over Ruby Soho again this time was the wrong decision? Britt winning the Owen Hart Tournament does nothing for her whereas it would have helped Ruby or someone else. I can understand Adam Cole winning because he suffered some high profile losses.

I think you make a good point.  I was pretty sure that Britt would win because Tony loves her and she has kind of been languishing since losing the Title.  Ruby could have used the win, for sure.  At least they made up for it on Dynamite this week.

Why does Tony Khan push real life couples to the moon?

If he thinks the two people are talented, I don’t see why he wouldn’t.

I have heard that part of the reason Austin Theory became Theory was because of Stone Cold Steve Austin; they didn't want two performers with a same name in their name. Firstly, is this true? Secondly? Wouldn't you rather a different name entirely, rather than cutting out Austin and being Theory? That is a terrible name in my book.

I can’t confirm the Austin connection, thought I have heard people say it.  At the end of the day, Vince McMahon is big on giving some talents one name.  Why?  I have no idea.

To your recollection, how often did Jeff Hardy do crazy stunts and dives compared to how often Sammy Guevara and Darby Allin do them?  It feels like Jeff only went nuts on PPV or a go home Raw/Smackdown while the other two seem to go nuts every other week.  At this rate will Sammy and Darby be able to walk at Jeff Hardy’s age?

Without going back and doing the week by week watching and data collecting, it definitely seems to me that Jeff was far more judicious in the abuse he put on his body.  If Sammy and Darby keep this up, I don’t see how they won’t pay for it down the line.  The body isn’t meant to take the kind of abuse they heap on theirs.
