I see Jerry Lawler is advertised for some shows in TN and MS.  How can he still be wrestling?

Lawler is cleared to wrestle by his doctors.  WWE has chosen not to be use him as an in-ring competitor following his heart attack several years ago but he can still wrestle elsewhere as he doesn't have an exclusive deal with them that prevents him from performing elsewhere.

I saw the most recent WWE Untold featured credits for those who worked on the project.  Is that new?

To the best of my knowledge, it indeed was.  I was told it's just a new initiative for the WWE Documentaries banner and I think it's well deserved.

Do you think WWE honoring Vladimir the Superfan means they will regularly honor fans?

I don't know.  I think with Vladimir it's a special situation where this tied into their documentary on him.  I can't speak for whether this will be a regular thing going forward but I don't have an issue with it.  Fans like Vladimir have added to the atmosphere of pro wrestling with their excitement and love for it and as far as WWE paying tribute to that, I can't think of something that celebrates the joy of pro wrestling more.  They are basically giving an Oscar to someone for their love of movies, for lack of a better comparison.

Do you know if WWE will be having AXXESS at Wrestlemania next year?

We are told that if things can be back to "normal", they certainly will attempt to have AXXESS.  It all depends on where we are with the pandemic.

Why didn't Rob Van Dam mention ECW in his WWE Hall of Fame speech?

He may have.  All those speeches that aired appeared to be edited half to death.
