With the talk of OVW working with TNA, are there any talents we should be keeping an eye on?

I really like Kal Herro, who keeps improving.  He's the one I would suggest.

If Drew McIntyre keeps getting film roles, do you think WWE will release him?

No.  He's not doing the films unless WWE gives him the time off.  If they actually needed him (and actually pushed him), I am sure McIntyre would be on the road for them, especially if it was a worthwhile reason.  If he's just doing jobs, well, they can get anyone to do that.  There's dozens of people in NXT who could do jobs. 

Why is MLW TV spread out over so many platforms?

Since the company doesn't have one singular rights fee deal that is paying it a massive amount, they have secured deals with different platforms that are non-exclusive to try and make revenue from multiple partnerships.

My AEW: Do you foresee New Japan and/or CMLL will end up  streaming shows on the app on a regular basis?  Could you see NJPW taping their US shows for a weekly or monthly  program if not regular NJPW shows from Japan?

It it is financially worthwhile for all involved, yes.  We've already seen CMLL place a PPV on MyAEW.

The news of TNA and OVW working together.  Didn't they at one point work together in the past much the sane way WWE works with TNA now in a non developmental almost territory system type way?also should TNA sell out to WWE in thd future how would that effect OVW would WWE start working with them again either as another developmental territory or as.a partnership TNA has with WWE?

TNA and OVW worked together in the past, but it was previous managements, so not really the same thing and this is a deal OVW really needs for their own health.  It's obvious from watching their Netflix series they have been bleeding money for some time, so the TNA deal may be a way to help in that regard, the same way the WWE deal helped TNA stabilize to the point they could negotiate a deal that got Impact on AMC.

I don't think that if WWE bought TNA one day, the OVW relationship would be of any consequence to them.  They have their own system and don't need to pump money into another.
