Any chance of a REWIND-A-MERICA this year?
Kav from Glasgow
Before lockdown, Jon Moxley had a shot at David Starr and the OTT Championship. Obviously that wonât happen now for a number of reasons, but with Mox being booked so strongly in AEW and New Japan, could we have seen a title change? In a pandemic-free 2020, how likely is it that we could have saw Moxley travelling around the world picking up championships wherever he went?
Thanks for all the work you guys do.
Jordan from Kitchener,
I donât know if this has been asked before, but what was your earilest memory watching wrestling?
Hello gentlemen,
Iâm sorry if youâve been asked this, but Iâm wondering about your trip over to Tokyo this past January. Prior to the pandemic I had a pretty extensive trip planned through Asia, specifically Japan. I really enjoyed seeing parts of your trip and I was just wondering if you have any advice for a Canadian travelling to the area?
The food looked incredible.
Thank you in advance and thank you for the great content!
Do you see NXT being a part of an upcoming draft? If so, who from the Raw and Smackdown rosters would you move?
Fairus from Malaysia
Who are your frontrunners so far for Wrestler of the Year and Promotion of the Year?
Brandon from Oshawa
Who has been more impressive to you guys in their in-ring performances, Stephen Amell or Pat McAfee?
Jesse Ă MTL
John, Iâm reeling from the news that youâre on pace to read 50+ books this year. Last year I read 14 books and was quite pleased with myself. This year, my reading has fallen off a cliff (on book # 5 right now). And I donât even have a kid! How do you do it? Do you read at a certain time every day? Do you devote eight hours a weekend to reading? Can you speedread? Whatâs your secret??
Take Care
I know this is probably a hard question to answer as we do not know where COVID will be tomorrow let alone two months from now. With the emergence of outdoor/drive in shows becoming a very popular thing on the independance since a sort of soft return to doing shows after restrictions, what are some of ideas you guys have if any to how some of these promotions may survive with the weather getting cold and with restrictions possibly getter stricter was a second wave is possible and almost guaranteed?
Any thoughts on the new wandavision trailer?
Iâm not an NJPW fan â and while I sometimes download your G-1 shows to check in, I skip most of the content.
Without giving numbers away â would you discuss how the downloads compare to your other Patreon shows such as Rewind-a-Smackdown â as well as what you perceive to be the interest in Japanese wrestling compared to US-based products among your audience?
Even if the pandemic were to end tomorrow, do you think what New Japan has been doing with NJPW Strong is a much better strategy for a U.S. expansion then trying to run full tours?
And when you do run a big U.S. show like Wrestle Dynasty, you can use the angles and rivalries developed on Strong to fill the undercard on that show while still having the major talent on top.
Thanks!
I just finished reading Lizzy Goodmanâs Meet Me in the Bathroom, an incredibly researched oral history about the NYC indie rock scene from 2001-2011. I believe Wai read it so I was curious on his general thoughts about the book? My main takeaways are that The Strokes sure had to deal with a lot, and I would never want to hang out with LCD Soundsystemâs James Murphy.
Also, if the two of you were to read an oral history about any particular period in pro wrestling/combat sports, what would you want it to be about? For me, it would be incredible to have an oral history with all the major players from FMW - although sadly Hayabusa and Shoichi Arai are no longer with us - or Pancrase.
Thanks guys!
Hi, John, I read one of us is lying on your recommendation, thanks, have you read the sequel, one of us is next?
Also, you seem to have a really broad taste in books, do you have any recommendations, I particularly like crime fiction? Iâd highly recommend, the other people and the guest list from my recent reads.
Thanks.
So Alexa Blissâs podcast dropped today.
Needless to say itâs not good. (The production itself is surprisingly poor)
I very rarely listen to wrestlers podcasts but it got me thinking,
You guys rarely if ever interview wrestlers, is it a road youâll ever go down again or do you find it more hassle then itâs worth?
Cheers!
Since Post Wrestlingâs birth, I noticed two voices disappeared - Court Bauer & Jason Agnew. Iâm assuming Jason is affiliated with the Live Audio Wrestling, and Court is running MLW, but Iâm shocked they havenât even had a guest spot on any shows. It may have been last Christmas where it was glaring that Mouth was on but not Jason.
My question: Is it by design these two havenât been on your podcasts or is this legit purely âschedulingâ issues? I ask because I remember you guys had a âfriendâ who you revealed one day didnât want to be mentioned on the podcasts again years ago, but this seems different, and just hasnât been alluded to on an audio basis. In the event this may have been discussed in your first few months of Post Wrestling, can you please disclose the reasoning again? I personally enjoyed Bauer & Pollock, and hated Agnewâs opinions but loved hearing you guys talk about it with him.
Thank you.

What would the arena reaction be to Retribution if fans were allowed in? Would fans cheer because Retribution is anti Raw and Raw on most weeks is bad? Would they get booed? Crickets when they show up? Chant their NXT names during promos?
Keep up the great work. Your podcasts get my workdays off to a great start.
Branavan From Ajax:
When do you guys think was the point of no return for World Class?
Thanks!
John and Wai have mentioned that they do not wish to talk about this.
Two very different questions.
Firstly, I LOVED John on the Fishbulb podcast and Braden and Davieâs episode 0. Have you considered doing more in depth interviews on your site with Wai, WH, N8, ect. ? I love you guys as wrestling reporters but love you even more so as people. Sure others would agree.
Secondly, are you familiar with the concept of relegation in sport? Very popular in Europe but North America. Do you think it should be introduced in the G1 to help tell compelling stories for individuals. For example the bottom two finishers from each bloke are band from competing next year. I think it would make the last day of matches much more compelling.
