AEW pulled the trigger on Sting and working with Impact.  What would consider a success for this week’s Dynamite?

To me, if those two moves don’t lead to a 10 percent bump in audience, I would be very disappointed if I were Tony Khan.  Given that they did 913,000 viewers last week, I would want them to break a million this week.  I am not sure if they can get to a 0.47 in the demo so I would want them to at least stay even with the 0.42 that they did on 12/2.  Any regression after pulling the trigger on two big things would be very disappointing.

I saw you did a hotline about who the winners were after Dynamite.  I am not a subscriber.  Why do you think came out a winner?

Impact Wrestling is the clear winner.  They got a ton of pub from a show that has a lot more viewers.  It’s a great crossover for them.  Sting is a conditional winner.  It’s great he got a contract and is back on TV.  But he also got really hurt taking a Buckle Bomb from Seth Rollins.  At his age, I am concerned he could get really hurt if they have him wrestle.  So he is a winner…..for now.  AEW?  To be determined.

Triple H said on the conference call that he loves NXT UK.  I do too.  What do you think of it?

I love NXT UK and am so glad that it’s back.  If people aren’t watching it they should go back and start with the reboot.  The shows have been great.

Would you like to see WALTER on the main roster?

In a perfect world?  Absolutely.  WALTER is one of the best wrestlers in the world, period.  He is fantastic and as believable as it gets.  My only concern would be if Vince McMahon saw his greatness and used him properly.  But if HHH was in charge of booking him on Raw or Smackdown, I would love to see the big man on either show.

So...it appears that Randy Orton could be feuding with Adam Pearce sometime down the road?  Your thoughts?

I would guess, or at least hope, not.  Pearce is great in his role of unbiased company rep.  I don’t need to see an evil GM again.  That trope is more than played out.
