COULD AEW SELL OUT MSG? WHERE'S MICKIE JAMES, STREAMING ROYALTIES, VLAD AND MORE

Why did WWE suddenly put the Vladimir Superfan doc out on YouTube?

It may have been because he was trending on Twitter after I announced he was hospitalized, but I don't know.  I am just happy its out there once again for people to see the true story of who my friend is.  I think he's going to be really happy when he finds out.  This sort of thing will absolutely make him happy and energize him when he really needs it.

Why are you not in it?

WWE didn't want me in it.  I never cared.  It wasn't about me.  It was about Vlad and if he and Charlie Adorno are featured, that's all that matters to me.   Their friendship is amazing and Vlad's love of the game is a pure, wonderful thing.  The fact new people are discovering it means the world to me.  I just hope he can get well enough to go to many more Wrestlemanias.

Do you know what became of Mickie?? She made 3 or 4 appearances earlier in the year, but then she was attacked on the stage, and that was it. Haven’t seen her since. She’s been making personal appearances all over the place. Is she selling the attack?? Or was it just an intentional short run in TNA?

I know she has been working on music, but it may be a case of the company using her sparingly so the appearances mean more.  I do not believe she is signed with TNA.  After she was attacked, she did the hardcore six woman tag with ODB and Taryn Terrell, so she did appear after that.

Do wrestlers make any money off of the WWE streaming channels? Jesse Ventura is all over the commentary on some of these, wasn't that the thing behind his lawsuit?

They do not.  Ventura's lawsuit was about royalties for VHS tapes and that matter was settled a long time ago.

MJF recently claimed that AEW would sell out Madison Square Garden. Do you agree? Considering that even WWE rarely does shows there anymore, what are the odds of AEW debuting at the venue?

Yes, they would absolutely sell it out.  Ring of Honor and New Japan sold it out.  They are drawing 14,000 to a stadium in Queens this weekend.  They would easily fill 20,000 for the first AEW show ever in MSG.  There are fans who would go just because it was in MSG.  MSG is easily accesssible from every major subway line plus trains from New Jersey, Long Island, etc.  I have zero doubt AEW would fill the arena.
