      Don't mean to bug you I was just wandering if you looked into the guy I suggested to you. (I won't say his name) I have more information about Benoit if you want to know about. I know your busy and BTW your awesome. I love your podcast!! I'm a fan and love your content. Don't worry I'm not a crazy fan. I watched the interview with David Benoit and I loved it. You asked great questions and was careful talking about Chris. 😪This is the BEST intervíew I've watched👏💯 Thanks for talking about him instead of tarnishing his name. He 💯desevers to be inducted in the HALL OF FAME and DAVID should be the one who does it. This case makes me Furious🤬🤬 KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB YOUR DOING👏💯💯💯

    Chris, you're the best interviewer out there. You really have a way with connecting with your guests and making them feel comfortable opening up to you. I've always liked Lio Rush. He's an extremely talented individual. Glad to see his experiences have matured him. Hope to see him back in WWE again.

    when big swole contract ran out and tk decided to not renew it swole claimed that tony khan was racist, tk then tweeted out that she was released becasue her wrestling wasent good enough. lio rush responded to tk tweet tellin him to apologize, within a day rush tweets again walkin back his other tweet, i dont rembr if he apologized to tk or not. lio was then taken off tv and since his contract was short term it ran out a few weeks latter and rush was gone. imo i was glad to see lio rush gone from the company, idc who u are from mox to chris jericho if u disrespect the boss in public u shod be fired, not sure what job u can work and talk to your boss like that and assume ull have a job the next day. yes that means cm punk shod be fired imo, he cut off tk balls in front of the media. hes more trouble than hes worth.

      He's retired once and said after leaving WWE he wanted to enjoy his freedom as a free agent and everyone liked that idea until it meant he left AEW because his 6 month deal expired and he wasn't even being using him on TV at the time even withou him taking up for Swole

    I like Leo but he will never be the top guy at WWE or AEW. Rush was too small for WWE and he wasn't one of the Elite's friends in AEW. To succeed in the WWE you need to look like a champion. To succeed in AEW you need to suck up to the EVP's. If he's going to succeed he will need to do it overseas.
