SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Is it worrisome that business analysis of WWE has become nearly impossible given the streaming deals, overseas deals, and fewer direct connections to measurements that include actual fan satisfaction with the product.
- Does it seem pro wrestling fundamentally doesn’t work with fixed rosters over time? Aren’t boom periods usually a result of an influx of new wrestlers, including at the top of cards?
- Is there a market for a major UK promotion? Did the hosts on Dragons Den miss out on an investment opportunity?
- Wasn’t there a stretch a few years ago when Sami Zayn seemed washed up in the ring or at least dialing it down? Now he seems back at a top level, right?
- Choose sides in these rivals’ spats with each other:
- Vince Russo – Eric Bischoff
- Bret Hart – Bill Goldberg
- Ric Flair – Mick Foley
- Vince McMahon – Nailz
- Tito Ortiz – Dana White
- Should the Paul Heyman group add a third wrestler now that Seth Rollins is out?
- Thoughts on the next wave of “freak show” boxing matches: Tank Davis vs. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather? Also is Clarissa Shields vs Laila Ali a fight that can come to fruition?
- Thoughts on UFC champions leaving their weight division behind.
