Is Paul Heyman a part of Creative, I saw his segment on Unreal regarding Penta, do he have any creative influence or is it only with Talent he is involved with like The Vision.

He contributes quite a bit, especially with talent that he's on screen with. Also if there's talent he takes a shine to, he will help them out a lot too. He once told me that used to backfire because people in the company would spitefully reject anyone he took a liking to. But he also is very generous when any talent asks him for advice or help.

Did you get any heat from WWE or wrestlers for the Dragon Lee screenshot?

None. We were told WWE instructed their teams to post it unedited. I sent word to people in WWE to let me know if Dragon Lee had an issue with it, and was told that wouldn't be a problem. There were actually a lot of lucha wrestlers who were very nice and reached out with encouraging messages.

What goes into you taking a wrestling booking?

The company being willing to let me promote a charitable cause is the most important part. I don't accept money or accommodations for wrestling bookings. If they want to make a donation to a charitable cause or promote a charitable cause, that's what I'm aiming for. If it's a rumble or battle royal, I'll almost always do it, just because I love to do it. Otherwise, if it's someone I like and trust or am friends with, I may want to work with them. Generally they're looking for me to do something local where people know me, or something that will get some social media views -- good or bad.
