You guys ever have any memorable wrestling related dreams? Back 20+ years ago when I was like 12 I had a dream where me and Stephanie McMahon were in a tag match against Brock Lesnar and Big Show.

Do you guys get more recognition now for deadlock and DPW than you did for your gaming?

These are the guys who 1) haven't won a world title 2) don't have a hope of winning a world title. 3) generally untalented. (Note: popular wrestlers who haven't won a world title (LA Knight or Jake the Snake) are not allowed, neither are "popular" failures (Shockmaster)

The real question that needs to be answered….Fried Chicken or Steak?????

If Deadlock was given infinite money, but could only use it on one current guy, who would that be?

Who is a wrestler who you've changed your opinion on, either from negative to positive or positive to negative? For example, I saw Rikishi at Walmart once and he refused to stink face me in the frozen food section, so now he's a jobber for life dude.

Thanks for years of entertaining me during good time and bad times. Cheers.

What's the oldest match you guys have seen that you consider a banger on par with the stuff you grew up liking or enjoy today? I know you were raised on '90s wrestling and a lot of stuff from the '80s and earlier is a slog to watch now (especially WWF), but I feel like Japan and the territories put out some enduring classics back then that still hold up.

been rewatching all the halloween movies and it got me curious: what’s y’alls favorite and least favorite halloween movie? my personal favorite is the 2018 reboot as it basically gave me everything i wanted and i ate up every bit of fan service and easter eggs. least favorite is 3 partially cos it doesn’t have michael in it but it’s also just a bizarre movie lol i know y’all loved ends so i expect that at the top!! /s

What's your favorite era of MMA?

I've been listening to older episodes of the pod that I missed and I recently have listened to the first couple of podcasts that you guys did when the COVID shutdowns were first happening and they did the no fan WrestleMania. You guys seemed to really enjoy the Boneyard Match and Firefly Fun house match and I admittedly am pretty far behind on DPW but assuming you guys haven't already done a cinematic style match, how would you booked a cinematic match in DPW? What talent would you book for the match, what kind of location(s) would you have the match take place in, would it be comedic or more "serious", etc...

Favorite name for a wrestling PPV

I was very disheartened to hear that the Boys are no longer coming to my town of Lowell MA! My question is, can I expect DPW to come to Massachusetts in the future? I must give James what is rightfully his: my prized signed 8x10 of Antonio Thomas from the Heart Throbs

hey boys, what/when was your first experience with online wrestling culture? as a zoomer who didn’t really get deep into wrestling and its culture until 2015 i’m always fascinated to listen to you guys talk about the old days of online wrestling culture like indy forums and e-feds so i wanted to know what your first step into the scene was like

What's the best finisher that isn't a finisher any more? Along the lines of the spinning toe hold.

If you could book any wrestler outside of dpw who would it be and who would you have them face?

New fan of the show, rejoining thw wrestling scene as a fan after years away. And the lod has been huge for reminding me of matches i grew up watching, filling it soots of runs I never was you g enough to see when they were going on.
