Any hunch on what Tony’s announcement on Wednesday is? Dmd return, Women’s world tag titles, or maybe a re-signing.
They wouldn't do a special announcement for Britt Baker returning, she'd just return. They never do televised announcement for re-signings or anything like that. My personal hope is the women's world tag team titles. I don't think they needed to move forward with a third ROH women's singles title (fourth if you include interims), but a women's tag team title is needed.
In your opinion, of all the potential buyers of WBD, who is the best and worst options for the future of AEW?
Maybe this isn't a fair answer, but I don't think any will negatively affect the future of All Elite Wrestling. This isn't 2000, and pro wrestling doesn't have the same negative connotation. These companies need whatever show gets them viewership. If AEW does that, they're going to be fine. If for some reason they completely tank, that will change. I don't see a situation like WCW happening, because Tony Khan owns AEW, not another company.
Whats your favorite wrestling video game of all time?
Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain. It had a fantastic roster, brought on a new era of customization with move sets, a fun story mode that constantly changed, cool unlockables, great visuals and environments. If you could pivot while you run, or use the shoulder buttons to run, I'd still be playing it, and I don't play many games these days. That PS2 era was the most fun I ever had gaming.

If that happens, they will move to a new network. AEW is fine & will be fine.

With regards to WBD buyers, I feel like the concern is them getting bought out by a company that TKO already does business with, and whether TKO could put pressure on the new owners to freeze out AEW, or at least reduce their options.

I was a 8/16 bit computer guy. Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga. But when it comes to games consoles the PS2 was the best gaming console. Its all abig ripoff now, and gaming has no soul these days imo
