Is Jason Jordan still producing matches?

Yes. He is still a very prominent producer. He's been responsible for producing some big matches. I've heard no rumblings of an in ring return for him, even though he's only 37 years old.

hi Sean, in hindsight what's your most embarrassing "I couldn't have been more wrong about this" hot take about wrestling? I remember loudly declaring on a message board during a main event of Jack Swagger vs. Ricky Ortiz on WWECW "these two guys are the future of the business, this is a future WrestleMania main event match" 🙃

Well, in late 2019, I was fully convinced that Tessa Blanchard was going to go to WWE and would main event a WrestleMania. The in ring performance is and always has been good enough for that, and there's a lot of things in the ring I think she does great, but obviously, that isn't happening any time soon. If you asked me in 2019, I would have expected it to by 2026.

When they say they've "reinforced" the ring for Rumbles and stuff, do they actually do anything different?

I asked someone who would know, and they said that they haven't heard of anything being added under the ring at all to reinforce for battle royal matches or Rumble matches. Then they told me I should ask Titus O'Neil to be sure.
