AEW/ROH and the WWE have so many programs there should be no reason why every wrestler on both rosters, unless injured or pregnant, aren't on every week. I would call it the Jon Moxley rule. What do you think?

I don't think some periodic absences are the worst thing. Sometimes people need time off, or there just sincerely isn't a good place for them. However, the prevalence of which its done in WWE and AEW for no reason is inexcusable.

What 2 singles wrestlers would you think if put together could be tag team champions? For restrictions, they have to be in the same company, have never wrestled together, and you would have to give them a name. Thanks

Literally anyone in WWE, because they don't care about their tag team division. But if I wanted to do something that would change the face of the whole program, I'd team CM Punk and Randy Orton as bitter old veterans. I would probably keep it simple and be "The Veterans" or something like that. But I would love some prestige brought to the tag team division and it seems like the only way Triple H will care is if main eventers are in it.

Where is Drew Mcyntre? Is he hurt?

Not that I've heard. He had a number of film projects to work on. It was up to three he'd done since Mania week when I saw him at the Pro Wrestling Symphony show that I worked in September. He told me that he wished he could have worked the South American tour in WWE and said he always had fun doing those. He's been staying in the ring and training, though.

Hey Seans silly question but I have to ask about the MITB briefcase. If the rules states that the wrestler can cash in the briefcase at any time anyplace, then why hasn't someone tried to cash in at the champion's home, at the gym, at the airport, backstage, or so on? Is there a hidden clause that it must happen in the ring?

The precedence that has been set is that it needs to be in the ring, with a referee, and the bell rung or the person introduced into the match. There just hasn't been anything that ever indicated that you could do 24/7 rules like the Hardcore Title. I'm sure this is something that could be addressed in the future.
