I saw that Kevin Kelly tweeted that there is no one better than him at calling matches.  I disagree with him.  Do you?

There is no way in the world I would call Kevin Kelly the best play-by-play guy in wrestling.  Don’t get me wrong, he’s very good but he’s no Michael Cole.  WWE kept Cole over Kelly for a reason, and that’s because he’s the best in the business.  Also, from what I have seen/heard so far from Corey Graves, he is well on his way to being the number two guy in the business and will be ready to take over the mantle when Cole finally calls it a career.

Greater financial impact for the city of Minneapolis: WrestleMania or PastaMania? 

BROTHER…..Where’s the heat Dude???  Let me tell you something……of course it’s WrestleMania.

With everything that has now happened within the past month, there's no way that Netflix will go forward with this Vince McMahon docuseries, right? At least anytime soon.

There is no way I would if I were them.  Since they are now in the WWE business, I wouldn't want to bring attention to McMahon's recent events if it were me.  But who knows what they will do.

I read that there was a "Plan B" for Sting's retirement match in case Darby Allin couldn't continue after the dive through the glass. Shouldn't having to have a Plan B in case someone can't continue after a spot suggest that you should rethink Plan A?

To people that have a brain in their head, absolutely.  If a guy is going to do something so dangerous and stupid that you have to have a discussion about what you will do if the moron hurts himself even more than you expect him to when he takes the ridiculous bump then the spot should not even be considered.  But, this is AEW where Tony Khan will allow dangerous stupidity.  The worst part about it?  Freaking Darby didn’t even really sell the spot.  He shouldn’t have ever gotten up after that fall but hey, realism has no place in AEW.  Moves are all that matter.

Looking at the fantastic work by so many of the current women wrestlers, I still recall the Alundra Blayze vs Bull Nakano and Gail Kim vs Awesome feuds as being great, not just for women’s wrestling, but for their respective promotions overall. How do you feel they have fared over time?

I think that they hold up very well today and back then, they were ahead of their time.
