Added 2025-05-10 16:00:06 +0000 UTCWelcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.

How does injury time usually work. The talent gets paid while injured. Do they still get paid if their injury time is added on to their deal?
Yes, they get paid. It's just an extension of their deal for the period that they were injured. For example, if a wrestler breaks their leg and misses five months, they're still paid during that period injured. Most wrestling companies have the ability to then extend that contract five months, and they're still being paid.
Do you think Hurt Syndicate with MJF vs. FTR with Stokely could happen at All In Texas? Have you heard of any plans for the Tag Titles at that show?
No, I don't think that's the plan. I'm not sure what Hurt Syndicate and MJF's plans are. The idea I've always heard floated around for AEW All In is FTR vs. Cope and Christian, which would obviously be a huge one.
Considering the fact that he released a mini documentary about Mania week, I assume that Karrion Kross' outburst was a work. My question is, how much do they tell third parties ahead of time if they're going to do something like that on a non WWE show?
A "work" in the sense that WWE saw it, allowed it, and put it on their podcast? Yes. The entire promo was planned, scripted, and done by Karrion Kross.
