hey SRS just a fun discussion piece maybe, but who do you think the worst booked wrestler of the modern era is? to clarify, who has not been given the reigns to live up to their obvious potential?

Purely based on opinion. Monty Brown is one that wasn't appropriately capitalized on by WWE or TNA. I felt like The Pope in 2011 TNA also wasn't appropriately capitalized on. I've always looked at AOP as the closest thing to a monster 80s tag team, and I think that while they lacked a lot in the ring, they could have really helped develop a major stable if used correctly. Them with Seth Rollins or Samoa Joe could have been great.

Hi Sean, what's your favorite wrestling venue for both looks and atmosphere?

My favorite to attend a show was Daily's Place because of the unique look. I watched a sunset flip happen in front of an actual sunset.

I had a few favorites on TV. The Hammerstein Ballroom when ECW ran it looked incredible. GCW did a good job with it, but I do think it looked better with the old colors. I thought the Mall of America was the perfect first Nitro venue, and I also loved when they would do the shows with the pool. I love unique, different venues.

My favorite I've ever wrestled at is Headliners in Louisville.

Hi Sean. Do you see a scenario where Bayley joins Mercedes in AEW? Feels like Mercedes has gone to a whole new level since joining. First month subscribing and enjoying everything so far.

I do think it's possible. There are very few people from either company that I would rule out ever joining the other company if the circumstances, money and schedule were right. That's a beauty of competition for contracts.
