Curious how the childhood wrestling fan inside you feels about the WWE no longer being owned by a McMahon? I don’t think I ever really thought I’d see the day so I’m a bit sad about it but the impact hasn’t really sunk in because we haven’t seen any changes to the product at this early stage. But I guess I always felt there would be a McMahon owning it!
As a doctor here in the UK I’m interested in how the healthcare system over there is coping as we come out of this pandemic? Over here we have strikes of almost all public sector workers and the healthcare system is struggling to keep up with the ever increasing pressures being put upon it, so waiting times are higher than ever, doctor and patient satisfaction are lower than ever. The Canadian system is very similar to ours here so just curious if you’re having similar issues, and if so is this affecting all other public sectors too?
Two questions: Firstly, any tips on how to be productive on relatively little sleep. My eldest son is 2 years and a barrel of energy. My daugher is 2 months old and requires feeding every 2 hours. I help out in the early mornings before work to give my wife a break.
Secondly, drive to survive(dts not bts) was all of our gateways into f1.
I’ve watched point break by the same creators on tennis. Not as good as dts but tennis is bearable now.
I stopped at the golf show. Any interest any of these reality programs?
Sorry if you have answered this , so I have included a second question. I was wondering about the creation process of forming Post Wrestling. After the Fight Network and The LAW what were your thoughts , your concerns , your feelings ,any doubt , nerves, any back up plans ,your family concerns? Did you have doubts, did you take out a loan, did you file any trademarks? What were conversations like? Did you know you had a loyal fanbase from Canada , to New Jersey, to a fool in Texas that would call The LAW to win T Shirts , that would follow you to a new platform? Finally, how are you feeling now?
Question 2
Your thoughts on Ricky Starks. I feel as a promo and in ring talent combo is is above the 3 other pillars in my eyes. The Y2J program was long and lackluster. Now he is in a program with Bullet Club he probabky will lose. With the 3 other pillars , Adam Cole, Bryan, Mox, Kenny and Hangman , Where does he fit in according to you guys?
Do you feel that a TV following a PPV works best the very next night, such as Raw, or is it better to allow the events of the PPV to breath a little such as Dynamite and Smackdown?
Also, do you think Pac would make a good MJF opponent for London?
I was wondering how people are so blind to AEW being basically the TNA of this generation? A “money mark” boss, ex-WWE talent scooped up as soon as they are released, hot shot booking and now the BIG announcement every week? Didn’t Dixie Carter invent that gimmick? I remember when Meltzer and Alvarez used to skewer the booking of TNA back then and yet AEW’s booking is somehow actually worse and it’s praised?! What am I missing here? Long time fans of you two since you were on the LAW! Keep up the great work!
John and Wai have mentioned watching Survivor and The Bachelor respectively. Any contestants on these shows you think might make good wrestling personalities? Any wrestling personalities (besides John Morrison and Kenny King) who might make good contestants on the shows?
Hey Guys. Just got done with your CM Punk art of wrestling podcast. As someone who is way too obsessed with the controversies of punk I found it to be comprehensive and you were able to dissect it in an interesting way.
Two questions:
You guys were talking about the ideal Punk Wrestlemania main event scenario that could’ve made him happy. What about inserting him as the heel champion instead of Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 2014 to face Batista? By the time he would have left, he would’ve been champion so maybe he sticks around and maybe Punk turns it the main event into something that is more compelling to fans than what we were promised initially. Do you think this would’ve been a good program?
At the end of one of the podcasts, Punk starts his conflict with Jericho by mentioning him indirectly as someone trying to use Punk’s personal life as a means to promote his podcast. While Talk is Jericho may not be considered traditional wrestling media, it reminds me of Punk’s current issues with wrestling media where the reporting of Punk behind the scenes has caused a lot of the issues that led to the gripebomb. Do you think there is a larger issue here of general irresponsibility when it comes to reporting on wrestlers’ personal lives in the current landscape of dirtsheets and speculation, or was Punk wrong to be paranoid about Jericho?
Hey guys, great job with all the bonus daily shows during Mania week and of course the usual shows as well. I have a question that I’ve always been curious about. Do you guys prefer YouTube views or podcast downloads? I notice you break up parts of your reviews on YouTube when I go check some stuff out and always wonder what you guys may have a preference toward? I have the benefit of being able to work with a headphone in my ear all day so I’m an audio only person. What benefits you both more? Do your advertisers look at anything in particular, with views meaning more than downloads or anything? Would it help if we streamed a YouTube link for a certain amount of time. This stuff interests me and figured I’d ask. Lastly, do you ever go look and see if some of your older shows get downloaded today or anything like that? I recently went back and listened to the All In review and I was curious if you noticed any archives that still get downloaded today.
While I agree with everything you are saying, I don’t think this thread is really meant for debate between patrons lol, its meant as a Q & A for John and Wai.
Two questions, Now that we are a quarter through the year. For an important year for the secondary MMA promotions. One FC Amazon Prime deal and a show in the States. PFL European league. Bellator very competitive lightweight tournament. What are your overall thoughts and interest levels John so far this year regarding the secondary promotions?
The second part is whether there is anything these promotions can do to get a lapse MMA fan like you Wai interested in the product
On the show for WM Night 1, John mentioned that the crowds at WWE shows in 2014 had a tendency to be more hostile than the crowds today. Why do you think that is?
With Cody main-eventing Wrestlemania it’s amazing to me how he has fit in so perfectly as a “WWE Guy”, sure he breaks some Vinceisums but overall he seems suited to the WWE style.
I originally thought there was a high chance Cody would go back to AEW after his contract was up but after seeing him be so successful in WWE what do you think the chances are he re-signs with AEW when the time comes? Would he even fit into the current/future AEW landscape?
(Bonus question if it’s a light mailbag)
If Vince’s influence on creative continues do you see it adversely affecting live attendance, viewership, etc of the metrics that have been up since he “retired”?
Some of the decisions may not even be his but just the fact people know Vince is involved again seems to have created a perception of negative decisions being blamed on Vince which could harm the progress that was made in the time that Vince was away.
By his choice will Paul Levesque leave the WWE this year? It seems his role has been reduced yet again with the return of Vince. He voted against Vince coming back. His wife walked away from the company her family started and owned. I guess I hope the cerebral assassin character I remember tells Vince to F off and leaves. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
What do you normally eat for breakfast? I’m asking this question as there’s a movement against cereal as breakfast as it can be as sugary as candy. In addition, I feel John is anti-cereal too…
First off I just want to commend John, Wait, Brandon, the whole Post team on the amazing coverage for the last few weeks. Between Wrestlemania week, the sale of WWE to Endeavor, and all the other great interviews with Lucas Middlebrook, Alex Sherman, you guys are batting 1000.
I want to specifically mention the Drive to Survive review series and the episode 9 & 10 review with Jaycee. I feel that was one of the best conversations that has ever been conducted on Post. I want to thank Jaycee for opening up and really putting all that out there for all of us to have a better understanding. I really appreciate the bravery and you guys should be applauded as well.
I would like to pose a scenario and here both of your thoughts:
If Fernando Alonso keeps up his 3rd place finishes this season and finishes in the top 3 of the driver standings but Lance Stroll ends up somewhere near the bottom of the top 10 or out of the top 10. Do you think Lawrence the business man will overtake Lawrence the father and decide to take his son off the team if a better driver is available?
I do think Lance is having a good season so far and showed tons of guts coming back so quickly from his accident to race in Bahrain.
John, there is a F1 manager game, where you are the team principal of your own team. If the baseball simulator isn’t cutting it, I’m sure the listeners would love to hear about you managing your own F1 race team.
As always, thanks guys for everything and to the Post Team for all the incredible work you all put in to keep us entertained.
