do you have any further insight on the TNA pulling talent from indie dates situation? Specifically I am interested in the bit thats being reported about carlos silva being upset that collision got moved against TNA on thursday. Plenty of bridges have been burned in wrestling for stupid reasons but this one is so exceptionally petty it seems like there is more going on.

Yes, Carlos Silva told people that he did not like AEW running Collision on Thursday. It was a WBD decision, not an All Elite Wrestling decision. I'm sure AEW would have loved to have ran after March Madness. It was really weird to see people act like AEW gets to make that decision of running Thursday nights. If that was the case, they probably would have ran on Thursdays long ago. There are a lot of great people around TNA, but Carlos Silva is the latest non-wrestling guy to be thrust into an important role there.

Which of these AEW talent do you think we will see next: jay white, wardlow, Eddie Kingston or kamille?

At the time this was asked, Kamille hadn't returned yet, but she is back and we'll see what's next for her after her loss to Willow. Next would be Eddie Kingston. I haven't heard a real update on Jay White, but he'll at least tease being around ahead of every PPV. Wardlow is recovering, was at AEW Revolution, and promoting American Gladiators.

Any retirement news on Rey Mysterio? Feels a bit strange to me that he’s consistently getting injured and just suffered a rib injury recently and has come back just in time to be in a ladder match. Feels to me that he wants to compete at one more Mania before retiring. Any opinions?

Not that I've heard. He's signed for multi-years and still wants to go out and wrestle. I do think at this stage, the days of seeing him work 35+ matches is probable over. He only wrestled 19 times each in 2013 and 2014 and here he was a decade later doing more than double that. He will likely be integral in AAA moving forward and used as a special attraction.
