Hey SRS! With Rick Martel now hitting the convention scene, do you think it might be easier now for WWE to get him into the HOF? Happy holidays!
I hope so. He's been one of the most elusive guys in general. He's seemed to really like being out of the spotlight. I think he absolutely deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. A lot of people have done the pretty boy gimmick, but he did it as well as anyone. He was a three time WWF tag team champion, WCW World Television Champion, and was an AWA World Champion. He was the first man to ever spend more than 45 minutes in a single Royal Rumble. He was in WWE for over a decade total, and was effectively on the national or global TV scene for over 15 years straight.
Hey Sean. First off, happy holidays to you and your family both blood and otherwise. Second, have you heard if there's any backstage discussion of an actual blowoff to Okada & Takeshita, or is it in perpetual "Can they coexist" right now?
Yes, there is a plan for a match. I can't speak to when exactly that is, but I've long been told that is plan in motion. This is going to be a big one for AEW. They've been building for it for a long time and it's going to be a big time payoff for them.
Hey Sean. With Thea accidentally winning the NXT Women's North American championship. Do you see her having a decent reign or do you see her dropping back to Blake?
I think that Thea Hail drops the title back to Blake Monroe. It will be a feather in Blake's cap, as she will be the first two-time champion. They could pull a SUPER SWERVE and have Thea Hail retain, which I actually think could be fun. But I expect Blake Monroe to win that title, as there were plans for her as champion.

Thailand has the energy/spark that can’t be taught. Hope they build her up going forward!
