What do you think about the Texas Chainmatch Massacre being worth $100,000?  Was it a waste of time?

Well, the sponsorship deal was absolutely a six figure deal but it was worth well over $100,000 we are told.  There are some sources who believed that it was worth almost five times that much.  No matter how good or bad it was, when your broadcast partner comes to you and says they want assistance to make something happen - you don't say no to the people who hold your broadcast rights future in their hands, so NO, it was not a waste of time from a business standpoint.  As a viewer, the mileage may vary!

Who played Leatherface?

I have no idea, but having met Gunner Hansen several times, I can tell you that Leatherface was not even close to the size Leatherface was meant to be.

Do you want to comment on the Paul Sosnowski situation Dave covered?

I did, on my personal Facebook.  I don't feel the need to bring that story to PWInsider, yet, unless the person continues his behavior.  Dave did.  That was his choice.  I had zero issue with anything Dave wrote, because it was all true.  I've kept quiet for many, many years out of choice.    If things continue, that will change.

I recently saw you answer a question about your desert island PPVs for each wrestling promotion. Flipping that on its head, if your hypothetical worst enemy was on a desert island and you made them watch the WORST PPVs ever, what would they be?

WWE ECW December to Dismember, Heroes of Wrestling, and whatever show had Kennel in a Cell!

Any word on if Abadon will be brought back to television? I know they’ve come back from their injury and have worked a bunch of indy dates, but I’d love to see them get back on AEW programming.

My belief is they will bring her back eventually.  I haven't heard Abadon was released as of this writing.

Isn’t it kind of a giant missed opportunity to not have Kenny Omega have a singles match at All In? Putting him in a six man tag at one of the biggest PPVs of all time when a rubber match with Will Ospreay would have been an all-timer seems like a waste of potential to me.

That would mean NJPW would want that rubber match on All Out.  My guess is they'd want to save that for a Tokyo Dome.  I know everyone (myself included) would want to book what they envision to be the greatest all star series of matches for that show, but the reality is they have all sorts of logistics, issues, injuries, etc. that only Tony Khan and a small circle at best truly know about, so I am sure that is why the lineup is what Khan went forward with.  Nothing is ever as perfect as it is on paper.
