Whatever happened to the two books about ROH?

They are still being written and worked on.  Cary Silkin's memoir was, to the best of my knowledge, completed and is now in the editing process.  The other book by Jonathan Snowden and Shane Hagadorn is still being written.  As a matter of full disclosure, I was interviewed for each book, although I have no idea how much of what we discussed will make it into the final product of either.

Why hasn't A&E done a Biography on Bayley yet?

I haven't heard there won't be one in the future, so my guess is that they just haven't gotten there yet.  She'd absolutely be a worthy subject for the series.

With all the talk of tribalism in WWE vs. AEW, what was it like when it was WWF vs. ECW vs. WCW among the fans?

It certainly wasn't as insane since we didn't have social media apps that could pump stuff out stupidity 24/7, but certainly there were fans who loved everything pro wrestling had at the time as well as fans who picked one side over the other two, but I don't recall either side trying to shut the other down the way it is done now.  I am sure many of them talked out of their ass as often as some do on social media, but it wasn't as magnified as it was today, since it was relegated to places you had to choose to visit, like message boards.  Now, stuff just invades your phone, sadly.

Do you think Endeavor owning WWE means more Hollywood attention and potential roles/jobs for those who perform for WWE?

I can 100% tell you yes.  It will take time, but absolutely, I believe that will be a cause and effect.  I know there are a number of WWE talents in recent months who have garnered attention in the Hollywood circles and I expect we'll see that become more prominent in the months and years to come.

Is it true Seth Rollins has been cut from the new Captain America film?

I know that rumor was floating around, but I've yet to hear that is accurate.  We won't know until a final cut of movie begins making the rounds.   I hope it's not the case as I have to think it would be really disappointing for Rollins.
