About this episode

The episode features Todd Martin and Wade Keller answering listener questions about various wrestling topics.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics: How does WWE want fans to feel about Cody Rhodes in response to the Pat McAfee angle on Smackdown last Friday? Are AEW fans more warm toward Chris Jericho’s return just because he’s someone who didn’t end up joining so many others who went from AEW to WWE in recent years? Isn’t a weakness of Roman Reigns and C.M. Punk going after each other with supposedly shoot comments weaker because they obviously are side-stepping more sensitive topics? And isn’t it better to have the match outcome settle whatever they are arguing about, and that’s not in play with the build so far? Would “Speedball” Mike Bailey have succeeded in WWE if he were signed years ago if he hadn’t had work visa issues? Or would he have been an AEW Day 1 guy and would that have worked out for him? What stands out looking back at the early AEW PPVs and is there anything AEW should have done differently in their first two…
