If Scott D'Amore has a no compete with TNA, how is he running his own shows?
There are only two reasons how it can happen. They either came to terms on something or TNA doesn't see the Maple Leaf promotion as a national group that is opposition to them. I don't know. I've asked and I've never received a concrete answer.
Is there too many promotions and PPVs now? I look and between the WWE, AEW, TNA, New Japan, GCW, MLW, Wrestling Revolver, WOW, UWN and all these other promotions, I feel like there's just too much to follow and too many shows that are just eh because some of it is the same wrestlers doing the same thing under different letters. I feel like it's created a boredom in that other than Raw and major PLEs, I have no real desire to watch this stuff.
I think you answered your own question here. For YOU, there's way too much, so you should watch what moves YOU. You aren't required to watch it all. I'll use comic book movies as an example. For many, the genre peaked with Avengers: Endgame so they sort of checked out on the newer content. There are fans who want to see everything but the vast majority want to see some massive spectacle, so they will skip The Eternals or Joker 2, but might return for Avengers 5 or Superman when they come out. Nothing wrong with that. Not everyone will be as entertained by Agatha All Along as I may be. I think you hit the point where you were satiated. You might want to just duck out and watch Raw and WWE on Peacock and then dip back in when you read or hear about something interesting. We have lots of readers who feel they pay us to tell them when there's something worthwhile to see - but I will agree with you, there is a LOT of content to keep up with weekly at this point.
Are there any major cities that haven't had a Wrestlemania at this point?
Lots of cities, especially if you include the international markets like Tokyo, Paris, London, etc. Domestically here in the United States, there's Denver, Washington DC/Baltimore, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Memphis, Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City, etc. If they want to pony up the money, I am sure Endeavor will be listening.
Are you hosting a panel at NYCC this year?
No, no pro wrestling-related panels set for New York Comic Con this year. I don't know why. but there are a ton of wrestlers signing at the convention The talents who would have conceivably been involved in this year's Headlocked Comics panel that I would have hosted will all be at their booth, #1034, signing - Mick Foley, Mandy Rose, Booker T, Joe Hendry, Rikishi and Danhausen.
Who books MLW?
Court Bauer and I believe Jared St. Laurent.
Why don't you do more on Twitter? TikTok?
I don't want to. If I thought I could get away with deleting the account, I would. I basically use it to plug content we have here and not much else. The DMs are off. I look at it maybe once a week and every time I do, I am inundated with suggested garbage that reminds me why I don't want to be on there. I doubt the day will come where that changes given the ownership. I do the bare minimum with it and I'd like to do even less with it. I see others getting caught up in the mess and arguing with people and well, I see a lot of it as a waste of time. A lot of people have exposed themselves because of their obsession with being on there, but if they want to do it, more power to them. I can only speak for myself. The one thing the last few years have taught me with the losses life has dealt my family is that I won't have anywhere near enough time to accomplish everything I want to do in life, so I'm not certainly spending what time I have left on this Earth worried about retweets or Twitter clout. It won't be what I care about on my deathbed and I won't be caring about it now. As far as TikTiok, I'm 50 now. Who wants to see a 50 year old on TikTok? That sounds pretty silly to me. If someone cares THAT much about me, they can find me right here and can email me just like you did!
