Hey, guys! Would you ever consider for a "Watch This", a match from Puerto Rico's WWC or IWA? There are a lot of good ones, and I think it could be worth your while. Greetings from one of your many fans in the island!

Harry Green

Hey Tony and his Pizza guys. Was there a moment where your illusion of wrestling being real was broken and you finally accepted it was fake? For me, it was the lead up to No Way Out 2005. JBL was scared of the barbwire steel cage. "But he was on it in the poster! Why would he do that if he's scared! Oh my God, wrestling is fake!"

SleepySheepy

For all the boys: What are your top 3 nu-metal songs?

BobbyEaton Dapusi The Long Way

Deli Platter

I’m looking for book recommendations. Is there any wrestling related books you guys have read? (If you recommend a Mick Foley book I’m gonna jump off a hell in a cell)

Essie

Don’t really have a question just want to say thank you for running a podcast “for the boys” that still feels inclusive and not overrun by misogyny/transphobia. I’m just getting into wrestling and this has been such a fun and welcoming podcast for me despite not being, well, a boy.

Someone… You Know Who….

you gotta take one of the four pillars moves, what r u taking kawada driver burning hammer (with corner setup) tiger driver (you know which version) nodowa otoshi but u take a neck bump bcuz taue said so

What’s the odds of the next name being fucked up?

How has DPW affected you guys mentally and physically in recent months what with the Japan tour and all, like has it made you guys make lifestyle changes to manage day to day due to travel, stress etc?

1Jae

Do you find the more older wrestling you're watching influenced how you book?

NFL Legend Dick Shiner

What if instead of shaving Hogan's mustache they shaved his head and eyebrows.

notorious_817

Based on the ROARING success of See No Evil, if money was no object, what wrestler/wrestling personality would you put in a horror movie? For instance, if I ever needed someone to be The Devil Himself in my movie, I would cast The Sinister Minister himself, James Mitchell. Hope y'all have fun with this one. P.S. Don't know if y'all realize this or not, but Texas is a big state and Pasadena is like 4 hours away from me. Bring DPW to the Dallas/Fort Worth area so we can all go get Whataburger after the show, bruddah

Andrew Carnborn

If you could make a DPW game, what engine would it use?

Jakob Nelson

What got you three originally talking on starting a pro wrestling company?

Nick C.

I was listening to another podcast (bigsofttitty.png) where the hosts were discussing the best wrestling entrance music to play at a wedding. What would you want to walk down the aisle to? (For the record, BST's top 3 picks were Undertaker - naturally - Benoit - no comment - and Carlito.)

CJExtreme98

I posted this one on the Deadlock Reddit if you wanna check it out. If you could have one wrestler face another version of themselves who would you choose? You can pick match type and all the other things that come with it. Here’s the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/deadlockpw/s/dpdsudphQu

Wolfgang Xander

Hi D-boyz! If DPW could collab with any other wrestling promotion (alive or not), which one would you like to collab with? Besides the ones you've already collab'd with.

PoisonA123 4

Can you guys bring back the segment of you guys talking about DPW shows specifically what happened in Japan and stories from those shows?

Mattie

How does DPW capture its sound? I'm a huge music/audio person and I've studied it a ton and its a field i know alot about. I know somewhat how WWE does it but how does an indie do it.

I like Bobby Fish… but he’s got this fish gimmick

I've been listening through the podcast from the start whilst at work, currently at July 2023 so I'll probably hear this episode in about 2 months time, thanks for the months of solid work fuel so far boys. I was wondering who would be your ideal get for the 2005-2009 era TNA Roster that never got there for whatever reason? I've been watching a lot of it and keep thinking how great Eddie Guerrero would have been there.

Meigitsune

Cyco Vision

Why does Sara Jay have such a killer body but has a pterodactyl face like trips? Just a random thought

Bobby B

What happened to the DPW behind the scenes videos/blogs? Where can I see them?

Rub Rub Tuggington

My local indie promotion is totally ripping off DPW's whole vibe, almost like they want a war. Can you bring DPW to San Diego and storm their dojo or something?

Ryback

What horror crossover would you want most in the vein of a Freddy Vs Jason?

scottelot

Been curious for a bit now - what are the challenges running a wrestling show in America vs say, Japan? Whether it be like a logistics thing or talent communication, stuff like that. (Not that I think running a show in the US would be super easy, just wondering if there's like a stark difference)

VELOCITYinc

What strategies are you each implementing to elevate DPW’s presence in the indie wrestling scene, and how do you balance creative storytelling with the logistical challenges of running a promotion in today’s competitive landscape?

The Consortium Was Me

Help me. I teach middle schoolers and one of my students does the Scott Steiner overly-aggressive "HUNH!?!" every time he doesn't hear something. The kid has never heard of Big Poppa Pump or Deadlock. It's possible I'll have this boy in one of my classes again next year, and the other students can't understand why I giggle like an idiot whenever he does it. Please advise.

Jason Pagan

How does a Goldberg eat corn the long way?

Big Mike

How are the hairlines, boys?

Kolton45

Hey James! Now that the Good Brothers are back on the indies, can you remind me how their theme song goes?

James Courvoisier

When the well of good shit to watch starts to run dry, are you guys gonna move forwards or backwards in time to find other stuff to watch? Or are you gonna have to crack open the emergency reserve of 3-hour Nitros to keep things within the late 90's/early 2000's period that you mostly watch?

BroadRed

Hey boys, first question I have is how are you guys doing? Second question I have for you is, what are your thoughts on the whole Cena ruining wrestling gimmick? I personally think it is fucking stupid and bad, but what do you guys think about it?

Vlad Tyrnov

Hey boyz, the guy from Japan here (ty once again for the selfie :D ). Your DPW shows were amazing on both days, but I am curious about something: Were there any matches that you had to postpone/cancel for DPW shows (not just the Japan ones)? From Irie and Something interaction, I definitely feel this was supposed to be the DPW Title match.

EternianOverkill

long time listener, first time caller...💖 when y'all have the big bucks, what kind of stage set features would you want? DPW fist? a 1:1 of the Nitro set?

Dames Jarnell

Long time listener, and I got one question. Who Hates Him?

That wasn't me, it was Pig Greaser Stanklin shitting in my pants

Hey James, Jawnny, and Big Tony, my question is very simple and it's for Jawnny specifically. Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food? Also, Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like? Also how many corncobs can fit up Tony's ass? Thank you.

What is your dream fictional wrestler matchup? Like Rasslor vs Kinnikuman or Ricochet from Mucha Lucha vs El Tigre

James Cheramie

Hey boys, a Genie said he will grant a wish of on one of these wrestler(s) working DPW for free, but each one has a catch. Which are you choosing?: 1) The Good Brothers and 2 Guys Being Dude, but their matches are only available to watch on Watch DPW (get the new app) from 2am- 5am (Japan Style). 2) Okada, but he will only do a money clip challenge similar to the master lock challenge. 3) Bret Hart, but he only comes to manage his protege Colten Gunn to an undefeated title run (Colten is free too).

John E. Blud vs Charles E. Cheese in a First to hit an Overdrive match. Winner gets to fight Dick The Cock Johnson at Tony's Fin

If Tony was booking a main event at the ECW Arena featuring The Big Dog Mike Enos, The Wall, and a fully naked Johnny in a deathmatch for the World Championship of TNA Wrestling, but the referee was James with no knees and the match was sponsored by Denny’s, what weapon would each man bring to the ring, and how many stars would Dave Meltzer give it in the Tokyo Dome?
