Is it possible 2026 is the year Demolition goes into the WWE Hall of Fame?

It's more likely now vs. anytime before, especially since they now have Legends deals.  They certainly are deserving.

Why doesn't anyone run in the old ECW Madhouse of Extreme anymore?

The Elks Lodge #878 aka The Madhouse of Extreme was bought by a Korean religious group and converted into a church a few years ago. To date, they haven't allowed pro wrestling back into the venue.

Do you know if footage still exists from the infamous WCW Worldwide tapings that were recorded weeks or months in advance, but never aired due to situations changing, such as Sid Vicious getting fired over the scissors incident? 

Unless WCW destroyed it, which is a possibility, it would be in the WWE Library.

What do you think are the most underrated wrestling autobiographies?

I really feel the William Regal book is one that a lot more people should have gotten their hands on and read. It really was an excellent book, both for the personal story Regal told as well as the story of his career. I wish it had made a bigger splash in the United States. I also think the books by and on Bill Dundee, Lita, Stu Hart, and The Road Warriors are greatly underrated.

Any health update on Abdullah the Butcher?

There's been no major news about him either way that I've heard.  My belief is he has recovered enough to return home, but I don't know that he's resumed making signing appearances.

Whatever happened to that storyline where Jeff Jarrett was going to chase the AEW title?

It was quietly dropped.
