When was the last time Madison Square Garden hosted Wrestlemania? Any chance it could be held there someday?

Wrestlemania 20 in March 2004.  I don't imagine we will ever see Wrestlemania in a traditional arena ever again, so no.

Do you think Jesse Ventura's recent comments about Donald Trump will have any effect on his relationship with WWE given how embedded HHH and others are with the current White House regime?

I don't know whether WWE would want to give it any additional oxygen by making a decision that could give way to more public attention.  My guess is they will ignore it and use Ventura for the Saturday Night's Main Event specials.  I also think that Jesse would care one iota if his comments on Trump and the recent incidents in Minnesota cost him his WWE SNME gig, at all.

Why WWE has always shied away from face vs. face matches?

Historically, the babyface vs. heel dynamic has always been what has sold tickets in pro wrestling.  That's why.

Any word on a debut date for The American Gladiators revival?

There's been no date officially announced by Prime Video as of this writing but it will be this year.  They filmed two seasons' worth of episodes last year in France.

Any updates on Raja Jackson's criminal case?

Nothing that we have confirmed as of this writing.

Whatever happened to Low Ki?

The last I heard, he was living in Florida.  He hasn't officially retired so it's always possible he could pop back up.
