Do you think we see the inspiration in WWE again for more then a one off? They looked great

I do, but I'm not sure when. Their deal with TNA is just under a year in length. This also wouldn't prevent them from doing WWE work. Considering there are almost no remaining WWE tag teams, it's certainly a possibility.

Do you think R Truth's return to WWE overshadowed some of the other important stuff on Money In The Bank too much? It all of a sudden feels like a John Cena vs R Truth rematch feels bigger and more important then a John Cena vs Cody Rhodes rematch.

It did overshadow a lot of stuff on Money in the Bank, but Ron Killings is such a beloved guy. Everyone remembered who won the Money in the Bank contracts after, so I don't think it affected things negatively. Overall it made the show even better.

Hey Sean, with the Slim Jim ads being added to tables people started making fake AI images of wrestlers with ADs on their gear, do you think that’s a real possibility? Like I don’t think they’ll be fully decked out but little ad patches like they’re doing in the NBA could that be a thing?

I do. Brock Lesnar was ahead of the curve on this with his Jimmy Johns deal years ago, but even before that, CM Punk had pitched it. However, it will end up being like UFC's "uniform" deal, where they have an approved sponsor that they keep a bunch of money for.
