Any news on when Ruby Soho might return to AEW?

I haven't heard anything from a creative standpoint, or if there are any plans. However, she was back in the ring training this past summer. AEW has preferred to give people extended maternity leave over rushing them back, or firing them or letting their deal expire when they announce the pregnancy. There were some good creative plans for Ruby and Angelo Parker before she got pregnant, as the two had been together for quite a while. They actually have a new board game project.

What is your rule of thumb for aggregation?

I delegate to what the specific outlet wants, because they are the creator of the content. If an outlet or reporter wants us to wait an hour, we will wait an hour before aggregating. If they want us to wait until later that night, we'll do our best to do that. Naturally I have to follow up on about anything. We prefer there be a 45-60minute wait on Fightful Select stuff, and ideally, don't mine the entire thing for information. I believe WrestleVotes said "less aggregation, more irrigation." Either way, if you're not creating something original, just retweet the posts! Google and twitter are already making it harder on original creators.

Would Nakamura’s sudden return to tv mean that he is Tanahashi’s last match?

Shinsuke Nakamura returning to television has nothing to do with the idea of him being Hiroshi Tanahashi's last match. I know that there are a number of people in New Japan Pro Wrestling that want Nakamura as the last match, but they don't know what kind of reality that is, or what it would mean for their CMLL or AEW relationship.

I was watching clips from an old nxt house show I went to and I was laughing cause someone in the crowd kept calling Dax Harwood Perry Saturn. What’s Perry Saturn been up to these days?

I'm not sure how many people remember this, but for a while, Perry Saturn was feared dead. He'd completely vanished. Nobody knew where he was. He re-emerged in 2010, and revealed that he'd overcome some addiction problems. He wrestled a few times in 2004, and then not at all for seven years while he fell off the map. He did come back and do about 20 matches when he showed back up, but did his last match in 2013. He does the convention scene, and did interviews with James Romero and Maven.
