Jordan Miller
2023-08-24 00:29:56 +0000 UTCNot wrestling related but Jimmy, how did you make your fortune and is it something that is replicatable?
Chris Hohn
2023-08-23 20:24:54 +0000 UTCWhile AEW isn’t a publicly traded company, is Tony Khan required to disclose who all the corp officers are? Basically who are EVP’s and such and does Punk have ANY non wrestling role
Nick O’Shea
2023-08-23 18:22:58 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy, what do you think the biggest strength and weakness are for both AEW and WWE?
Aidan O’Donnell
2023-08-23 17:35:48 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy! Tony Khan mentioned that he would love AEW to be on the MAX app ... is this truly a possibility? Is it a benefit to the wrestlers if AEW ppv goes to the MAX app?
Mr.Sinister_13
2023-08-23 16:42:29 +0000 UTCDo we know which matches on the All In card are the ones Tony was suggesting would be changing? Saw Rey Phoenix was rumoured as one who couldn't travel, not sure if that's correct. Thanks
Will Thornton
2023-08-23 10:12:18 +0000 UTCApart from Toronto, where is your favourite part of Canada? My wife and I visited in '16 from Australia, but now we have two young girls and would love to bring them over one day.
Tyron Spaulding
2023-08-23 09:39:36 +0000 UTCHow would you handle CM Punk if you were in Tony’s position.

2023-08-23 06:46:01 +0000 UTCAre there fears rollins back may be as severe as Randy’s?
Justmask
2023-08-23 03:41:00 +0000 UTCAny creative plans for Tamina? I miss mother.
Zachary Barnes
2023-08-23 02:40:53 +0000 UTCWho Do You think eventually up with The WWE rights Once it's said and done? Fox or Disney
Barron Hudson
2023-08-23 00:00:58 +0000 UTCWhat do you think is AEW's smartest business play so far, their biggest missed opportunity, and who are the three wrestlers on their roster that you think they are sleeping on?
Mike B
2023-08-22 22:49:54 +0000 UTCFor Jimmy: Do you think that in 2023 that local advertising makes a difference in ticket sales?
Danny Valentin
2023-08-22 22:18:14 +0000 UTCWhen wrestlers have visa issues, what is going on? I get people with criminal backgrounds, but is that the reason across the board?
Vince Kordic
2023-08-22 21:41:30 +0000 UTCAny update on aew tv deal
MisterFaiz
2023-08-22 21:34:17 +0000 UTCWhat is the best build for a match you’ve ever seen? Mine is Cactus Jack vs Triple H at MSG Royal Rumble (Street Fight)
Oscar Villanueva
2023-08-22 21:32:44 +0000 UTCDo you ever think WWE/UFC would do a joint show? I know that they have a completely different fan base but there is money to be made.
Joetourious
2023-08-22 20:33:48 +0000 UTCWhat you think of Triple H not being a board directors members of TKO?
Bump Boy
2023-08-22 20:13:01 +0000 UTCYeah this needs to be talked about by AEW and wrestling media more.
Noah
2023-08-22 20:05:36 +0000 UTCDid AEW settle for less with all in card because they had secured so many ticket sales? I am sorry but half the matches are multi man matches or matches with legitimently no real build. It feels like a Saudi show—- a massive house show with one or two story based matches. I can’t help but feel if ticket sales weren’t that high Tony Khan would’ve made the elite vs CMFTR a reality.
Noah
2023-08-22 20:04:26 +0000 UTCDo you see a time where Cable providers switch solely to a internet/data model where you pay monthly and get bundled streaming services rather than paying for cable tv?
slick
2023-08-22 19:37:45 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy/Sean, any more news on women’s tag titles in AEW?
Ry
2023-08-22 19:15:19 +0000 UTCThe Fite.tv $72 package for 4 PPVs is even better, that package deal is amazing even if you only need the next 3 PPVs in it
Brian Brannan
2023-08-22 19:03:14 +0000 UTCWhen The Endeavor merger goes through what will it mean as far as Vince McMahon's role in creative and is there any way Endeavor vote Vince McMahon Out?
Barron Hudson
2023-08-22 18:38:30 +0000 UTCJimmy, any new things or ideas you have that you are thinking about happening with Fightful? It's been awesome being a supporter for over 5 years and see you all grow.
Zachary Schemmel
2023-08-22 18:12:32 +0000 UTCAny word on some big surprises that may happen at ALL-IN?
James Bishop
2023-08-22 18:06:40 +0000 UTCDo you think that we, as fans, read too much into daily ratings and stuff like that?
Ricardo Name TBD
2023-08-22 18:04:35 +0000 UTCThis is why I love Nord. $20 twice is a hell of alot better
Troy A Palek
2023-08-22 18:00:54 +0000 UTCWith WWE rights deal up soon, does fox keep smackdown or could USA get all WWE programming?
Tim Wininger
2023-08-22 17:30:53 +0000 UTCIf my memory is correct the WWE merger was expected sometime in Sept. any news if thats still on track?
Tori Melching
2023-08-22 17:23:31 +0000 UTCWhat is your advice on getting a podcast started from a business perspective?
Matthew Hooks
2023-08-22 17:22:08 +0000 UTCWhen AEW gets a streaming platform do you think the wrestlers get a share of any revenue from such a platform and how would that work? Per match view?
Bevan Shortridge
2023-08-22 17:20:53 +0000 UTCJimmy- Did you see the new LJN style of line by Cardona and Myers? If so will be getting any of them?
Matt Payne
2023-08-22 17:19:51 +0000 UTCDo you think AEW will continue to do $50 PPVs on a more than quarterly basis? I switched to Nord VPN and Fite.tv for the first time since they actually had a PPV package deal.
Brian Brannan
2023-08-22 17:15:17 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy, when the merger was first announced I believe you mentioned a possibility in which Vince could be voted out. Do you still see that as a possibility or is he locked in forever?
Eric Rufo
2023-08-22 17:01:26 +0000 UTCWho came up with the golden era Hollywood damsel in distress character for Toni Storm?
Scott Harris
2023-08-22 17:01:23 +0000 UTCAre you holding WWE shares through the merger?
Sully
2023-08-22 16:56:26 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy how many layoffs do you think will happen in the WWE once the merger with Endeavor goes through? Thanks for everything Fightful!
Ronnie Rosenberg
2023-08-22 16:42:17 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy! Is there any chance that Roman beating Cody at WrestleMania was due to WWE’s attempts to get into “sports betting?” Cody was a huge favorite at a lot of books, and I’m wondering if that was WWE’s attempt to show that they could protect their results to potential sportsbook partners.
Kyle McManners
2023-08-22 16:41:27 +0000 UTCJust started watching Luchas Underground. What are the odds of a TV promotion like that being revived in today's wrestling landscape? It would be nice to have a place where luchas could win matches for a change
codomojump
2023-08-22 16:41:22 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on Tony Khan still booking Cash Wheeler for All In despite his recent legal troubles? Him booking Cash for the biggest show of the year even though he knew he had a warrant for a third degree felony doesn't sit right with me.
Viper51210
2023-08-22 16:40:55 +0000 UTCThoughts on both WWE & AEW doing really well with big shows this month?
Jamal Johnson
2023-08-22 16:40:53 +0000 UTCAny Tessa Blanchard news ?
Steve M
2023-08-22 16:37:07 +0000 UTCHi Jimmy! How many people work behind the scenes at Fightful? I thought I heard Sean say 20-30 at one point. What roles do they have?
BBQdad105
2023-08-22 16:36:32 +0000 UTCThoughts on All Out pricing? Are they really going to have ppl pay $50 two weekends in a row??
Alicia Williamson
2023-08-22 16:35:59 +0000 UTCKevin Owens and Sami Zayn are still carrying around both Raw/Smackdown tag belts/titles. With The New Day back, DIY being teased as returning soon, the tag title scene is getting beefed up again. Isn't it about time the titles were split up on the 2 shows or consolidated into just one new tag title?
Paul Anthony Moss
2023-08-22 16:34:28 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy!! I’m curious on your thoughts on a potential new AEW deal. What do you think the terms will be? Potential money? Could there be any special terms or anything that you foresee? Love hearing your business expertise on this stuff
Ty Jans
2023-08-22 16:33:26 +0000 UTCWhat's the status of Guilia and Mariah May in AEW?
MarcustheGod
2023-08-22 16:31:27 +0000 UTCAny word on Andrade’s status for All In, All Out, or just in general coming off that House of Black feud?
Manny Veiga
2023-08-22 16:30:30 +0000 UTCOoo the behind the scenes stuff would be cool to get on Select.
Snackyy
2023-08-22 16:30:14 +0000 UTCHi Jimmy, I completely agree with you on your take about TK and his fandom messing with his booking ability. Would you bring someone from outside the company to do the booking or promote from within? I think it should be someone new to the position but, of course with a background in wrestling and producing experience.
Daniel Ralda
2023-08-22 16:29:55 +0000 UTCJimmy I know you have a WWF LJN collection I wondered if you have any other figure collections? Also, have you seen Brian Myers and Matt Cardona's Big Rubber Guy's series, and will you collect those as well?
Alex Mahoney
2023-08-22 16:29:44 +0000 UTCFightful Youtube is back catalog and behind the scenes stuff
Fightful Select
2023-08-22 16:29:15 +0000 UTCJimmy! When are you going to start an Instagram account to show off your mint on card LJN's. I've seen the wide shots of your office. I know they are there!
Gregory Nelson
2023-08-22 16:28:37 +0000 UTChave wwe or aew shown interest in b3cca? i feel like she'd be a great fit in ROH or NXT
John Rabadi
2023-08-22 16:28:30 +0000 UTCHey Jimmy not sure if you know the specifics of content that fightful uploads. Do you know if there is a difference in content from Fightful Select and Fightful YouTube membership exclusives?
Snackyy
2023-08-22 16:28:27 +0000 UTCDo you think they should have another Mae Young classic
Shawn Garner
2023-08-22 16:27:53 +0000 UTCAny idea on if there are plans for another Dusty Classic or Breakout tournament in NXT?
Jeremy Plotkin
2023-08-22 16:27:01 +0000 UTCWhen WWE inevitably tries to break AEW’s single day attendance mark, where and what show would you like them to do that at?
Trevor D.
2023-08-22 16:26:57 +0000 UTCWill there be lots of Pyro at “All In”?
