Why doesn't Tony Khan come out and explain to fans where AEW will stream if Netflix does buy Warner Bros.?

Well, honestly, why would he at this juncture?  One, he doesn't know for sure which way things will end up.  For all anyone know, Paramount pulls something and ends up with the company.  Why would he make comments that could end up inaccurate over time?  Secondly, it's not his comments to make - not unless he wants to speak out about his broadcast partners out of turn.  I know we all live in a world where everyone wants immediate gratification but the reality is, at a corporate level, that doesn't happen, not when there's that level of legality involved.    You would need to be in the best standing with whoever the new management is going to be and if you don't know who that is, it's best not to say anything.  I wouldn't!

Why would Tommaso Ciampa leave WWE?

Ciampa hasn't commented on why he's exiting.  It could be he and WWE couldn't come to terms.  It could be he wants more time with family.  It could be he wants to wrestle elsewhere.  Until he tells his side of the story, we don't know.

How do you feel watching Twitter twist your stories out of context and then seeing people complain about you based on incorrect stories?

You get what you pay for.  If someone can't be bothered coming here to see what I actually said and wrote, I can't get mad at them getting bent out of shape over inaccurate versions, since they don't actually care to find out what I said - just want to react to whatever drivel they chose to read instead.  That's on them, not me.

If you could bring back the Raw Guest Hosts, who's the one personality you'd like to see on the show?

Tommy Wisseau.  What a great train wreck that would be.  Or, perhaps, Ed the Sock.

If you went on the Jericho Cruise and did "Live, ongoing coverage", where would you say the city was in the headline?

Uh, I guess The Seven Seas?

There seems to be some debate about this, so what's the perfect number of matches that should be on a show?

It used to be the norm for 9-10 matches on house shows when I was a kid.  I think having four matches on a broadcast is way too little.  6-7 seems right to me.
