I can’t believe Ricochet told a fan to “suck his d*ick” in response to a fan’s critique on social media. Maybe, Vince McMahon went too far in being a creative control freak that hurt his product, but wasn’t he spot on with not letting talent do whatever they want? It seems like when wrestlers go to AEW, those wrestlers lose fans with no oversight, as because there’s no accountability or enforced professionalism. Really, Ricochet? What if you were talking such sexual vulgarity to a minor who unknowingly? I am disappointed in Ricochet. If he talked that way to my kid, I would definitely tweet Tony Khan directly and demand punishment.

Things like this don’t make anyone involved with AEW look good.

AEW definitely has a different set of mores and standards compared to WWE.  Personally, if I were Tony Khan I wouldn’t allow my talent to act like this but Tony does things his way.  I am betting that WWE is not sad to see Ricochet go given things he has said on social media since leaving.

Now that you've seen professional wrestling for so many years, which is a worse product? AEW in 2024? Or TNA being run by Hogan, Bischoff and Russo in 2010-11?

That is in the eye of the person making the decision.  Some people loved both products so it’s all subjective.

I’m watching old videos from the 80’s and 90’s and I have a question about the Rockers.  Was Marty Janetty considered the better wrestler when they were put together as a team?

Many, many people saw Marty as the potential break out star from the team back in the day.  Obviously, it turned out much differently.

Why is Survivor Series starting at 6?

WWE has started events early in the past due to UFC.  I am not sure why they did it this time but perhaps it’s their new direction.  Fine by me.  I like the earlier start.

Since TKO/Endeavor is a publicly traded company, do we know the salaries of all the talent?

No, they don’t have to release that data.  They have to give overall numbers, macro as opposed to micro.
