Were there any fears in '95 that Jeff Jarrett would turn face following the debut performance of 'With My Baby Tonight'?  It wasn't exactly a bad tune!

If there were no one ever conveyed them to me.

PWInsider is the world's greatest pro wrestling website. May I ask your prediction for the SummerSlam winner on August 2, 2025 between John Cena and Cody Rhodes?  May I trouble you also for a leak regarding the expected winner of the Intercontinental Belt that same night?

Thanks for the kind words.  I don’t know what the finish to either match will be and honestly, I don’t want to know in advance.  Part of the fun of watching for me is seeing how things play out.  With that said, I think it’s imperative to get the Title off of Cena.  His run has been a flop in my opinion.  Plus, his remaining dates should be used to celebrate his career, not doing some of the worst heel mic work ever.

I read the question about the low Dynamite rating following All In, but I've noticed that the ratings tend to go down when they run smaller venues. For instance, the venue last week only seated about 1100 people. That's a very small venue for a touring wrestling company to run their weekly show from, especially one that claims to be competing with the WWE. It's the kind of venue you'd expect NXT or TNA to use, not AEW. Do you think that some fans tune out when they see that?

I don’t see the correlation there.  AEW fans have seen them run sparsely attended big buildings.  You could be onto something but I don’t see it.

So Guilia takes the belt off Vega and then disappears?  Burying a title reign before it gets going.  Thoughts?

I think you need to relax.  WWE doesn’t move at warp speed like AEW does. They let things breathe.  Guilia is back, with Kiana James.

Have you heard anything about WWE doing the draft?  Isn't it typically shortly after WM?

I haven’t heard a word and honestly I don’t think that they need it.  It was always a crutch that Vince McMahon used because his creative was so bad he needed new matchups.  HHH uses realistic reasons to let talents cross over.  I would be fine if they stopped doing it altogether.
