After the latest debacle with Bleacher Report, do you think AEW will finally wise up and let FITE or TrillerTV or whatever the name is now finally carry their PPVs?

Yes, I do.  I think there has been far too consistently too many issues with money being left on the table and/or fan complaints by Bleacher Report issues for fans who just want to order and watch the PPVs.  I can't imagine Tony Khan and his team don't see that.  My guess is that they'll let FITE carry it sooner than later, possibly as soon as the Dynasty PPV.

Any word on Dave Bautista FINALLY accepting his WWE Hall of Fame induction?

Nothing yet.  It's always been a case of him being unavailable to be at the HOF ceremony due to his acting commitments.  I would suggest they just do a special ceremony for Bautista at an event where he's free, because he's been a few year since he's been able to make a Wrestlemania weekend.

Have you attended an Undertaker One Man Show yet?

Not as of this writing, but I would if my schedule allowed and he was doing the event locally where I was.  He hasn't performed it in NYC and I haven't been on the road when he's been doing it elsewhere.

Shane McMahon should be healed and able to return from last year's Wrestlemania injury.  Any chance he pops up in Philly?  What's his backstage role now in TKO era?

I never say never but my gut is that he won't be appearing on camera anytime soon, at least as long as the Vince McMahon situation is still swirling.  Shane has not had a backstage role in years and that has not changed with the TKO sale.

Where's Sheamus?

He was out with a shoulder issue.   We haven't heard any timeline for his return except it was expected to be soon.  The last I heard of him being at a WWE event was the Royal Rumble back in January.

Do you think the NWA CW App deal helps the promotion draw more when touring?

I think the only way to know that is if we knew the streaming numbers for different markets and whether, if the NWA ran them, that translated into tickets sold.  The NWA has only been on the App with new episodes for a little under two months, so likely not any way to draw a conclusion as of this writing.
