Do we know if NXT ple's will also be on the ESPN service?
As of now, I'm told that they won't be. WWE is probably going to start shopping those, the library, as well as potential AAA rights soon as well. They could also end up being added, but that's not the plan.
Any updates on Sami Callahan and his "retirement " ?
Sami has had a lot of physical trouble in the last number of years after some serious injuries. It's been really hard for him to recover to the level he was once at. He's a valued member of the team backstage, and is extremely successful in booking and promoting Pro Wrestling REVOLVER, which is his baby. I wouldn't be surprised to see him to an occasional match. Right now, he's stepping away very young, but he's been vocal about the pain he's been in the last number of years. I think he'll be a big contributor behind the scenes for a long time.
Now that AEW has been around 6 years, would the 10-year mark be reasonable for them to start their own HoF, or wait longer? Also, who would you pick for the first group of inductees? Thank you.
Cody, Young Bucks, Kenny Omega. It has to be them. The original four EVPs. Then after that, I would probably do one inductee per year. I think that it would be very important to highlight the specific talent that helped spearhead the company. I'm sure Brodie Lee will be inducted as well. Sting is a no-brainer. Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley would be no brainers. I think they could have their own "legacy wing" of passed stars that they have good relationships with such as Brodie, Jay Briscoe and Owen Hart.
