I agree with you that AEW could sell out MSG, so I guess that begs the question: why haven't they run it? I've heard it's very expensive to do shows there, much more so than Barclay's Center, but the economics of it shouldn't really matter to AEW. I know you wrote a column on how much Tony Khan has matured, but AEW's audience sure hasn't, and there is a very vocal, very online part of that fanbase that is dying for any "win" they can get, and I don't think there anything could make them happier than selling out "the home of the WWE". 

The last I heard, the current MSG management hasn't been willing to let them in the facility.  We will see if and when that changes.  There's a brand new 20K+ seat stadium opening in NYC next year so they could easily run that or return to Arthur Ashe, each of which would be a larger capacity than MSG.

So, I saw AAW says AEW pulled Mance Warner from their show but then Tony Khan says he didn't, so who's lying?  Shouldn't AEW be criticized the same way TNA was?

I don't think either is.  Mance himself said AEW didn't pull him.  He pulled himself and sent the promotion money to reimburse them for his flight:

Had AEW pulled him, they certainly would deserve the same criticism.

Who was the Bunny in WWE?

Bad Bunny.

Just kidding.

It was mostly PJ Black, the former Justin Gabriel when he was in WWE.

I saw this discussion on Reddit about a woman seen ringside at several big events involving Miss Elizabeth.  Lots of sarcastic comments, but thought you might just know the actual answer.  Maybe she was a relative who was strategically placed?  Or just a genuine fan who's reactions were caught by cameras?

To the best of my knowledge, the woman who are speaking of who was crying when Randy Savage and Elizabeth reunited at Wrestlemania 7 was just a fan.

If the Midnight Express fought each other, who would win?

Well, it happened in 1988, soo....Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton.

Any wrestling events you haven't been to that you'd want to attend?

There's probably a few.  In a perfect world, I'd like to see shows in Korakuen Hall.  I'd like to see Atushi Onita wrestle in Japan with all his wacky pyro.  I'd like to say I attended a WWC Anniversario.  I'd like to see the Crusherfest in Milwaukee.  Maybe one day, but as I get older, I expect most of those won't happen.  I've probably traveled to and attended more wrestling than 99% of the world over the last 30 years, so if I miss stuff now, I'm OK with it.  Family has to come first.
