SHOW SUMMARY: In this episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they respond to listener emails on these topics.

• What were the metrics that led to the timing of the Hulk Hogan-Bret Hart-Yokozuna-Lex Luger shifts in 1993?
• Is Adam Copeland being this hard already showing signs of failing and making AEW look bad pushing a WWE “castoff” as their top star?
• What kind of career in pro wrestling could Ken Shamrock have had if he had gone all-in on pro wrestling? Could he have had a Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar type of legacy?
• Will or should Tammy Sytch ever get out of prison? Why was her boyfriend’s bond non-refundable?
• Do you think WWE would have let Adam Copeland use the name “Edge” if he asked?
• What’s the deal with Kevin Nash’s latest comments about L.A. Knight?
• Is WrestleDream the first AEW event where Jon Moxley hasn’t bled?
• Is it time for MJF to stop recreating past non-main event storylines and focus on being the Steve Austin for AEW of 2023?
• Re-book the WWF from Summerslam ’97 through WrestleMania 2000.
• Assembling a potential – but unlikely – loaded potential UFC 300 line-up.
• Are there examples of a World Champion being cold and a wrestling promotion being hot? Should blame largely go on the World Champion if business is down?
• Are AEW storylines getting more and more obscure and dependent on specialized knowledge?
• Could NXT be as good as the Black & Gold era again?
• Has AEW, in five years, helped wrestler pay and wrestler schedules compared to if they hadn’t existed?
• Would a ladder ranking system work for all of AEW’s titles to explain who qualifies to challenge for each?
• Doesn’t reality being a central part of the presentation of pro wrestling have inherently superior value to creating a fictional world?
• With the war currently being waged in Israel, do you see any scenarios in which WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia would be negatively affected, postponed, or even cancelled?
• Is the reference to Bullet Club on commentary during Fastlane a sign of a softening of Vince McMahon’s rules about references to pro wrestling outside of WWE?
• Should AEW bring back a ranking system perhaps augmented to have a 1-100 like video games or a gambling style poker chip system?
• Reaction to a five-point proposal to get AEW’s booking on track.
• Did the MJF-Adam Cole storyline start off well and taken a turn for the worse? And is MJF less The Rock and more Shawn Michaels as a centerpiece lead babyface champion act at this point? How should MJF steer his babyface character to better territory?
• Thoughts on the future of Bellator and USADA testing?
• Details on spoilers and how to handle them journalistically?
• Thoughts on the transition from tag team wrestling to singles for Booker T, Scott Steiner, Barry Windham, and Bully Ray.
• Are even long-time supporters of Roman Reigns’s light schedule and lack of regular defenses going to soften their stance he should hang onto the title? Can a case be made that L.A. Knight should be that person?
• Can WWE force Creative Team Writers to sign NDAs? Are they already? Will they hold up?
• Why are so many AEW fans blindly defending bad decisions and flaws in the product?
• Will Bullet Club Gold have to live with being seen as anti-semites after Wednesday? Why haven’t WBD or AEW apologized?
