With everything going on with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, do you think that unionization in professional wrestling will ever happen, at least for WWE and AEW?

No, I don't.  Professional wrestling is too fragmented.  It won't ever happen.  Too many egos.  Too many different promotions.  Too much of a disparity in pay.  It hasn't happened and I don't see it ever happening, unless they are absorbed into SAG-AFTRA.

I’ve really been enjoying AEW Collision, but the ratings aren’t as great as they could be. Do you think that having it on Saturdays was a bad call, or is it just a matter of people being less likely to watch TV on Saturday nights during the summer?

I think the ratings have been great given Saturday is one of the worst nights for television audiences.  I think that's one of the reasons TNT put the show there, it was a chance to put something on a dead night.

If you could cast a wrestler or wrestlers as Marvel or DC characters, who would you fantasy cast?

I always thought CM Punk would have made a great Guy Gardner.

Whatever happened to Big Vito?

He's around but I don't believe he is still wrestling.

You wrote about Highspots Wrestling Network shutting down.  Will everything there migrate to the new Highspots.TV?

Some of it will, but I don't know if everything ever placed on HWN will be uploaded to the new streaming service.  If it does, it won't be immediately as that's a LOT of content.
