DO TALKING SEGMENTS WORK IF PEOPLE AREN’T LISTENING, MICHAEL COLE IS A BAD MAN, VADER IN THE ATTITUDE ERA AND MORE

As an avid listener to Mick Foley's podcast, he continually says that had Vader come along during the Attitude Era instead of before hand with his match against HBK that his career would have been a lot different. Would you agree with this?

It all depends on how he would have been used.  He obviously had the talent to be a huge part of WWE back in the Era.  It all depends on how Vince would have booked him.

What is the most unusual place a wrestling show has happened, that you wish you were/would be invited or went to?

I can’t think of any place.

I saw Tony Khan’s tweet about there being talking segments on Dynamite to get new things going.  How do they do that if hundreds of thousands of people turn off the show?

Um, maybe they do it for people that stay?  That’s the best I can come up with.

I listen to Tony Khan on Busted Open, where he often goes into work mode.  I get that since the hosts go along with it.  Then he went on Arial Helwani and started doing the same thing to a real journalist.  I gave it a chance but then when he was asked about MJF and he refused to answer, I turned it off.  Did you listen?  What are your thoughts.

I listened to every painful minute.  Ariel did the best he can but Tony was really hard to listen to. Between bragging about AEW incessantly, to acting like he had no idea what Daniel Garcia would do (as if he wasn’t booking it) to refusing to answer the simple question of whether the MJF situation was a work or a shoot, it was painful.  If I were Helwani, I would never have him on again unless he agreed to stop working.

Michael Cole got wiped out on Smackdown.  Is he OK?

In asking around I was told Cole was fine, amazingly.  To me the amazing thing about the bump, other than him not getting hurt, was he kept announcing all through it.  He’s a pro’s pro.
