When does the Jim Crockett Promotions documentary hit PBS?

The PBS App lists it for August, so it should be anytime.  The film just had its premiere in Raleigh this past Tuesday and debuts tonight on the PBS affiliate locally in that market.

Is there anything to the rumors that AEW is gunning for a big stadium show in Texas next year? Do you think they have a chance of pulling it off, if so?

I haven't heard that personally, but it could always happen.  There are smaller stadiums in the State and they can always limit how many tickets they sell.

For international wrestlers signed to AEW like Riho, Yuka Sakazaki, and Emi Sakura, how different are their contracts compared to wrestlers who are working in AEW full-time? You'd think that for the limited appearances they make a year on TV, they'd only have a part-time or even per-appearance deal at this point, right?

No, same contracts.

When did D-Von Dudley start using his "Oh my brother, Testify!" phrase?  During his preacher gimmick in WWE or before?  What's the story story behind it? 

He's been doing the Testify deal for as long as he's been D-Von Dudley as his original character would recite religious phrases as a takeoff of Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction.  Over time, it became his calling card, but it started back in 1996 in ECW.

Any word on Bound for Glory location?

There was talk about NYC and then London, but that's quieted of late.  I have since heard it may be in the Mid-West but I don't have any strong confirmation on that.
