Hey Sean! Any updates on Adam Cole’s health?

There are no plans for him to wrestle that I've heard of. There hasn't been discussion of him traveling with AEW or doing anything on the road for them. I think he's pretty well in the same boat that he was back in July, unfortunately. I know Tony Khan loves him and wants to keep him as a part of the AEW team.

Hi Sean - any updates on YouTube TV subscribers having access to ESPN Unlimited in time for Wrestlemania?

I wouldn't count on it. Disney/ESPN want YoutubeTV and other cable subscribers to feel like they should subscribe to Hulu Live. That way, it's not just a $30/month ESPN Unlimited subscription, they're picking up and $80/monthly subscription.

Once Nick Khan is done with WWE who do you see taking his spot?

It will be someone from outside the WWE altogether, or someone who is very high up in the UFC. I think Nick Khan will eventually move on to something like Amazon or a major sports league around the time they negotiate their next major rights fees.

I think the YouTube TV/ESPN Unlimited situation is so shitty. I'm on DirecTV Stream, a Hulu TV competitor, and I have it so what the hell?

I'll bet DirecTV met their price demand and YouTube didn't. Which would square with how DirecTV has most local (regional) sports networks and YT is missing many. They seem to have hard lines they simply won't cross.

That probably has a lot to do with the $2b/yr 7-year deal they are paying for NFL Sunday Ticket. DirecTV balked at that price so I guess they have the wiggle room in their budget.
