Was there concern that Vince McMahon would show up in the Epstein files?

I heard no concerns from anyone in WWE that he would appear in the Epstein files. I'm honestly surprised he didn't, and not even for nefarious reasons. It seemed like a bit of everything got mentioned in there, down to Bruno Sammartino's passing.

i'm not too familiar with your wrestling and have you ever competed for a title

Almost nobody is too familiar with my wrestling, and they probably shouldn't be. I had about 50 matches before Fightful started, and about 5 the last couple of years, and about 5 other general appearances. I wrestled for titles at our local school/gym shows, and for a really low level independent company that ran Kentucky and Ohio border towns. I won one singles title in the gym/school shows, and myself and my catch wrestling coach won tag team titles at a really small indie in by far the worst match we ever competed in. Those two title belts are in my background of our podcasts

is there any reason why Grand Slam Australia isn’t just a whole ass PPV? Feels like a waste of a good opportunity during the quiet times of Worlds End through Revolution.

The time difference. That's the reason. It's one of the most inconvenient time differences possible. I don't think AEW feels that is an appropriate stretch for their PPV audience to follow them, and PPVs on tape delay aren't something companies are willing to try out.
