With Kairi confirmed for the Jericho Cruise, do you think she will wrestle, or even sign with AEW? Also, are there any worries that she will commandeer the cruise ship? She is a pirate princess, after all.

There are ongoing talks with All Elite Wrestling, but I'm pretty sure her visa from her time with WWE has lapsed at this point. I don't think she's going to be wrestling, so there might not be an issue with the Cruise, but I'm glad to see her there. If she isn't doing something captain related, this is a real missed opportunity. I do expect her to sign with AEW.

Any updates on Keith Lee? Contract status , injury, social media post ?

Keith Lee is still under All Elite Wrestling contract, and is not actively factored in to AEW plans right now. He was discussed earlier this year, but that didn't happen and I wasn't given any reason why. His social media post endorsing a controversial figure was the topic of conversation for about a day in AEW, and I never heard of anything else past that.

I saw WON's report about Seth being injured as his reason for his absence. Was it creative changing, and then the injury? Or vice versa? Thankz

I haven't seen that report, and I've not personally heard anything about him being injured. It doesn't mean he isn't injured, but he worked live event matches a month ago, so that wasn't the reason through August and September. I know he was supposed to work a dark match on October 9, but I've seen people pulled from those for all kinds of reasons. Je'Von Evans was pulled from one two weeks ago and was replaced with Danhausen.

Weird question but, is there a reason tables seem to have different looks across different wrestling companies? Is it just different suppliers or other reasons like trademarks etc. I’ve noticed that steel chairs, kendo sticks and trash cans all look similar across the companies but it’s just tables that vary, wondering if you might know why?

Because different companies have different prop guys, and different places to get the tables. Also, geographically, different tables are available at different times. On indie companies, they usually get doors from a hardware store or something, but I've seen actual doors off of a house used, and those aren't fun!!
