There's always talk about lost media. What would you like to be found?
I have two things off the top of my head. One, there was a WWE produced Undertaker podcast before his current one was created that apparently never saw the light of day. The rumor within the company at the time, which was before the TKO acquisition, is that there was an amazing Paul Heyman-Undertaker episode. I'd love to see/hear that. I also wish that the tapes of the first-ever ECW show from Yonkers, NY, headlined by Sabu vs. Terry Funk would one day surface. In general, I'm always a fan of getting to see old house shows, so anytime that stuff is found, it's always fun for me.
Why did WWE suddenly remember they have Main Event and are pushing it? So weird.
It's not at all. They are getting paid for that content by Rumble and want to push it, so they make that partnership beneficial for both sides.
The passing of Jim Herd made me think of Kip Frye. Whatever happened to him?
The last I heard, he was teaching college courses for Duke University.
You mentioned AI matches potentially promoted by WWE. Wouldn't that go against the wishes of the talents?
If WWE made deals with the talents or their estates (as Lucasfilm did with the estate of Peter Cushing to bring his character back for Rogue One), it wouldn't be an issue. There's always the larger moral discussion when it comes to AI, but I don't think that's important to WWE if they believe they could make money with such a venture. I do believe we'll see it within the next decade.
Do you think the fact that Riyadh was attacked the day after Crown Jewel will lead to WWE not wanting to do Wrestlemania there?
No. I think the only way Wrestlemania doesn't happen there is if Saudi Arabia changes their minds or The United States government bands citizens from traveling there - but we are talking April 2027. A lot can happen between then and now.
