You mentioned CZW in a recent Q&A. It seems like the promotion has fallen off in recent years. What happened?
The pandemic happened. After that long break, they pretty much started from scratch again and with the exception of Rich Swann, they are utilizing a lot of younger talents who are finding themselves. When a promotion loses momentum (and they weren't anywhere near their height when the pandemic began), it takes a lot of time and luck to regain where they were. Dropping all their old venues and markets and starting anew hours away isn't going to help.
Any update on the Billy Jack Haynes case?
Haynes remains incarcerated in Portland. We haven't heard any updates on the criminal case against him in relation to the murder of his wife going to trial as of this writing, but the charges against him still stand.
If AEW signs a new TV deal with Turner but Turner doesn't want the PPVs, can AEW sign a deal to stream them elsewhere?
There are a lot of "ifs" here, so nothing I say is concrete, since there's no new WBD (not Turner) deal yet that has been officially announced. As long as they are contractually able to do so, they could sign a deal to take the PPVs to say, Disney, if there was interest. It would ALL DEPEND on the fine print of what their new deal with WBD (not Turner) would entail. I don't imagine WBD would love having AEW build to and promote PPVs that are outside of the WBD periphery, but this is a strange, upside down world when it comes to broadcast rights now, so I would say nothing is outside the realm of possibility.
Watching old Raws - who was Del Rios?
He was Del Rios, a Memphis wrestler who received a few tryouts and appearances doing a magician deal.
When WWE has the overhead shots, are they drones?
If you see the shots moving up and down as they are going forward, in most cases they are drone shots but they have lots of camera placed all over the arena.
