They let us line up on the entrance ramp and take a picture on the steps of the ring using a replica title belt. Then, they took us to a media room where we were handed gift bags that included an autograph book. Then, they one by one brought in 3 different superstars. In my case, it was Rick Boogs, Shotzi, and Bobby Lashley. They were all incredibly genuine and awesome.

    Hey man, I don’t know if you see these comments, but imma shoot my shot. I got into wrestling fairly recently (mid20s), mostly because of storytelling etc. I love exploring new media. You are one of the most skilled “interviewers” I’ve ever seen across any field. The way you structure them, the way you purposefully ask certain things in a certain way to turn them into instagram reels, really methodical. I respect your craft a lot. You could honestly do a little masterclass on your methods and preparation, but also “in-ring” psychology. Kudos again, keep up the excellent work!

    It was the right call for him to leave AEW. Booking wise there was not much he could have done there compared to the others I think. I always thought he would return to the WWE and become more successful, as long as he's not Stardust.

    Was pleasantly surprised that Chris is still allowed to interview WWE superstars after interviewing multiple AEW superstars. I guess the ban only applies to Talk is Jericho.
