83 WEEKS- Is there anything in creative you wish you would have done differently? Maybe a talent that you had a better idea for that you still think about.

Anonymous

Foley is Pod-Do you think you would have got the WWF Championship opportunity when you did if this match doesn't happen?

Anonymous

Foley is pod - hypothetically who’d win in a triple threat match between cactus jack, dude love and mankind had the final of KOTR final was a triple threat?

Oh you didn't know-I just watched NXT Takeover Dallas. You have a lot of older wrestlers in the show. Today everyone in developmental is very young. Do you like it both ways?

83 Weeks - Eric, what's the funniest thing you ever saw in your time in wrestling? And is there anyone more fun to fire than Honky Tonk Man? (I'm itching for another Eric Fires Back!)

STW- Was X pac the difference maker when you relaunched DX?

Anonymous

Grilling Jr- No question Jr. Just thank you for all your honesty

Anonymous

Arn oct 92-Who else is joining you and Wardlow for the new Dangerous Alliance?

Anonymous

Arn Sept 92- What kind of a worker was Valentine? I only really know him from the WWF

Anonymous

WHW-I understand the main event being an attraction match. But do you think Goldberg should have opened the show since he wasn't going on last?

Anonymous

Kurt Angle Show - Vengeance 2006 - you mentioned that Vince wanted you as the face of ECW. Did it makes sense then for you to go and compete on a Raw PPV? Did you feel the story with Randy needed an ending at this show?

Anonymous

Kurt Angle Show - Destination X 2012 - what were Kurt’s thoughts on option C that Austin Aries used to get the world title shot? Did Kurt think this would be something that would help elevate the X Division?

Anonymous

My World - After this GFW would become the name for the company. Did Jeff feel a rebranding away from the TNA name was something that was needed?

83 Weeks - if CM Punk was as tan as Hogan, would you have put him over at Starrcade 97 or would he have gotten the ‘Sting treatment’ also? Something to Wrestle - how many gym bags did Shawn have to shit in before everyone realized how much of an asshole he was? Foley is Pod - what is the one thing about this match that no one talks about that you wish they did? Kurt Angle Show - when he finally hangs his boots up and people have a chance to appreciate his body of work more, do you think Randy Orton will be remembered as one of the all time greats? Arn - did you do much traveling with Michael PS Hayes and what kind of trouble did he get you and Bobby in? Would you rather spend 30 days on the road with Michael?……..OR EL GIGANTE!!!

83 Weeks - Eric, what was your first car? My World - Jeff, are you a fan of uniting titles? What does that process look like, from an office standpoint? WHW - Tony, when do you get the run sheets for the night? Do you make notes on them? Do you leave them at the table or take them with you at the end of the night? OYDK - Dogg, when were you first told that the Performance Center was being built? STW - Bruce, what was the process like bringing Waltman back in 1998? Were you aware of what went down in WCW with Blume trying to renegotiate Sean's deal in WCW that Eric had been paying him under? Foley - Mick, what was your opinion of the KOTR designator? Where did it factor, in importance, to the titles in WWE at the time? Kurt - I ordered my first Kurt Angle t-shirt as part of my Father's Day gift from my wife and daughter. Can't wait to get it! I'll post a pic on Twitter. You have mentioned how you enjoy working with Orton. When laying out of this match with Randy, was there something you two disagreed on? Same question for your match with Samoa Joe for Destination X 2012. Arn - I ordered my first Arn t-shirt as part of my Father's Day gift from my wife and daughter. Can't wait to get it! I'll post a pic on Twitter. What was the most attractive part, in your opinion, of tag team wrestling? How were the payouts setup in JCP, WCW and WWE - was it a total amount already set by the office that you each took home half, or was there a different formula? Did those numbers ever cause you and your tag team partner any concern? For October 1992 - When you were told the DA was coming to an end, was there a long-term or short-term booking strategy for you past that point in the company? I really enjoy these month by month breakdowns that you do with Pauly B! They pre-date my fandom, but they also entice me to go back and watch on Peacock. Your matches are incredible for anyone wanting to be or currently remain a successful tag team wrestler!

I rarely comment on these because the hosts have great questions and the other guys/gals tend to have more informed questions than I do. But the JR one, that is the one I am most excited about. I'm an older guy, well, old-ish, about to turn 50. A little beat up, with some health issues, and you start looking back on things, but you can't really get to them until it's presented sometimes. It's like a scab that itches, and you want to scratch it but at the same time you know it's gonna bleed if you do. That is why that first episode meant so much to me. It really felt like this was a thing that JR had, back in his mind, that was stuck there, and it came out. It felt to me, listening, that it was cathartic to him. Something he didn't even realize needed to come out until it did. I feel like the stories, because they were shocking and tragic, maybe were the headlines, but that's not what hit for me. I felt, emotionally, a little weight lifted off of JR. And his excitement at the end when he was saying, we really need to promo this, wasn't about him selling the pod, or looking for new listeners, etc, as much as him wanting it to be ok, and appreciated, that he bared his soul a little. To see if his emotions came across and to have a sense of safety about it. My question is, and I hope if you do ask it that it includes this whole thing, does my interpretation feel right to him, how the feedback made him feel, has he listened back, and how does it sit with him now.

83 Weeks: we constantly hear Kevin Nash crap on the location of the original NWO Souled Out PPV in Cedar Rapids, IA. It’s probably been covered in the past, but can Eric comment on why a secondary market was selected for such a big show? As a 17 year old kid from Cedar Rapids who camped overnight to buy tickets and sat 2nd row at the show thank you again Eric! It’s a great childhood memory!

Arn (September): As someone who was a fan of the business, prior to getting into himself, was it hard for you to see Michael Hayes bounce around, after the split of the original Freebirds? Let’s be honest, Jimmy Garvin was a talented performer, but he was better with Precious.

Anonymous

Arn (October): if you had to work a 6 month program, town to town 6 days a week, which of these Bruiser teams are you working with: Road Warriors, Steiners, Doc & Gordy? All exceptional teams, but it didn’t look like fun being any of their opponents.

SOMETHING TO WRESTLE: I wanted to ask you guys your take on "4,5,6"? Steve Corino & Tracy Smothers told a story on an interview that Corino was considered to be brought in as the 123 Kid to join fake Razor & Diesel, and as a result nicknamed 4,5,6, thoughts?

Arn September 1992: Would Michael Hayes have been effective as the talker and manager for Terry Gordy and Dr. Death at this time?

Anonymous

83 Weeks - the recent book Ringmaster by Abraham Riesman noted that Verne Gagne would provide a tape of AWA shows free to any station that would air them as a way to promote live events and boost ticket sales. If this is true, how long into the 1980s did Mr. Gagne continue this practice?

83 Weeks: I believe Eric said that he found the NWO music in the Turner music library. Did WWE have to buy the rights of WCW music separate of the WCW deal? (maybe a question for Bruce?)

Anonymous

83 Weeks: Hey Eric, I wanted to ask how different you feel wrestling would have been in the 90s and even today if the Vince McMahon steroid trial never happened? It’s interesting to think in regard to Hogan leaving the WWF and the movement towards smaller, athletic wrestlers. Thanks Eric!

83 Weeks - During your 2019 WWE Executive run, did you feel trusted and empowered to do the job you were brought in for and how challenging was it to make something you wanted to see as a reality happen?

Anonymous

WHW - Bringing in these mega celebrities for PPV’s and even some TV’s, what was the feeling among the production team and the boys during these moments where everyone knew more eyes from beyond wrestling fandom would be on the product?

Anonymous

STW - Was there ever an idea or piece of creative for Waltman that didn’t happen you can recall?

Anonymous

83 Weeks - Two common names mentioned as being “agile” big men are Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader. In your opinion who was better/easier overall to work with either business or creative and if you could only book one in their prime would it be?

Grilling JR - JR, first thank you for opening up on the Dark Side of Mid South. As a pastor, I often sadly walk alongside those that have experienced many different traumatic experiences in life. I know your sharing just a little bit resonates with more people than you would want to believe. My question is, if you can change or add one thing today that would make pro wrestling healthier for the talent what would it be? Blessings.

83 Weeks - Please did eric ever have any discussions with shawn michaels and undertaker about joining wcw during monday night wars. Something to Wrestle With - Sean Waltman. was there ever any plans too rename sean lightening kid during his wwe run as he had used that name on the indys. Foley is Pod - King of the Ring 1998. was there any others spots that were pitched that never happened in this match

#askeric there have been reports that a lot of talents are involved in creative in AEW. (BD, FTR,ETC) do you think this can create a “too many cooks in the kitchen” environment and eventually make it more difficult to book effectively ?

Ask Eric- any memories of working in Cardiff, Wales?

Question for Eric: do tv ratings really matter given that so many people stream or record wrestling? For example, in my country no major wrestling shows are available via traditional television and are only seen via subscriptions on apps. My guess is that a lot of the American wrestling audience are not represented in the neilsons. Is it time for different analytics to get a better sense of what the wrestling audience actually is?

83 weeks - what did Eric think to the old WCW PPV approach to commentary in the early 90s where they would sometimes have two announcers ‘host’ the show and open the PPV and then hand over to the ringside announcers?

Anonymous

STW - I understand why Sean Waltman was called the 123 Kid in the WWF. I understand why he was called Syxx in WCW. But why was he called X Pac in his WWF return?

Anonymous

Arn - Sept 1992 - given that the Barbarian had been stuck on the WWF undercard for several years immediately before his WCW return, was it a mistake to book him as a main eventer? 10 year old me just thought WCW must be really rubbish if the Barbarian can be a main eventer.

Anonymous

83-weeks- Eric was there any thoughts of using Eye of the Tiger for Hulk Hogan when he came into the company in 1994? I personally think it would have been incredible. STW- After having an amazing match with Owen Hart at King of the Ring 94 and the World title match with Bret Hart. Why was the 1,2,3 kid not on the Summer Slam 94 Card?
