What happened to the Hulk Hogan biopic with Chris Hemsworth?
It got delayed, delayed again, and then canceled. People I spoke to about it didn't think there was a realistic appetite around it and one person said it was hard to determine fact from fiction in a lot of stuff involving him.
You think we might ever see Cena on AEW or with AEW talent doing promos for one of his DC projects once his in-ring retirement hits? I assume he’ll sign some sort of deal similar to the Takers Forever deal or a Legends deal that would keep him off other companies’ shows, but was curious how that could potentially work.
I don't think we ever see John Cena on AEW TV.
Is it possible.... that the Dustin win at All In could have been a "reverse Montreal Screwjob"? Where Dustin was told of another finish and they surprised him with a victory? His emotions seemed very real. And the show had taken a hit with the sad news of Adam Cole. Just wondering.
We were also asked -- This may be a dumb question, but do you know of a match where the winner did not know they were winning? Dustin’s emotion made me wonder if that was the case
Dustin Rhodes knew the result of the match, he's just very good at his job.
I have heard of the "reverse screwjob" on the indies, but I haven't heard of it on a grand scale. It was a running joke in AEW ahead of Bryan Danielson winning the world title that they would need to pull a "reverse screwjob" on him because he wanted to lose to everyone.

That's pretty cool

Indie wrestler here: I've seen this happen, usually in something like a Battle Royale. One in particular everyone was smartened up to it except the winner so we didn't blow the finish by eliminating him.

To the last question, Bryan Alvarez has told stories about wrestling matches against veterans, who wouldn’t tell him the finish of the match until it was time to DO the finish.
