Why do you think we're seeing more "main roster" talents migrating to WWE NXT?
They may be preparing to "raise the prestige" of the brand ahead of it debuting on the CW Network. The Fall isn't that far off.
Any word on new TV deals for AEW, TNA, MLW or NWA?
AEW is, I believe, still in an exclusive window with Warner Bros. Discovery until sometime this summer. I haven't heard anything new about potential MLW and NWA TV deals. TNA is on the channel owned by the same company that owns it.
What was your favorite turn of all time?
My favorite of all time was April 1988, so I was probably 14 at the time. Lex Luger and Barry Windham were the NWA World Tag Team champions and according to storyline, had been best friends. Windham had tried to keep Luger from joining the Four Horsemen when he first came to Jim Crockett Promotions, but failed. When Luger finally turned babyface, he and Windham reunited and defeated Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson for the NWA Tag Team championships. During a title rematch, Luger was busted open after being thrown into a ringpost. He fought and finally made his way to Windham, who tagged in and proceeded to beat the hell out of Luger, then walk off, joining the Four Horsemen. I remember being totally amazed because I never saw it coming, although part of that was my age and understanding of the business. I think today there are a lot of decent turns, but many fans are older so they have a skewed way of looking at things and in many cases, the current product, no matter the quality, will never be "as good as when I grew up" because those younger memories are often the most romanticized.
Who was the Gobbledy Gooker?
Hector Guerrero.
Why do you think Nia Jax has had so many better matches this time around?
It's a mix of the booking for her being better and the right opponents. She's done a great job this year.
