Scott Steiner

When you look back at the first year, what was the moment that made you all say "holy shit, this is really happening?"

bill-i-am

Hey guys, long time hog, first time dipper, love the show. Does your involvement with DPW (ie, booking and producing your own wrasslin show) effect how you watch or enjoy any current wrestling product from other companies?

Godd Rugal

I know you all are the booker daddies and this could come off as bias, but which wrestler in dpw do you personally cheer for?

Hey y'all, big fan, just wanted to congratulate you on 1 full year of DPW! I was wondering what each of your favorite moments were either on or off camera during this last year?

Does Tony actually have a deck or has he been jebaiting us the whole time?

where do you see dpw having a show for their first one outside of NC? Would love to see yall in NY, specifically in Albany, but NYC is fine too.

CP

Do you still have the same issues that you had when y’all first started? (Talent not making it in time, cancelled matches, concessions, venue issues?)

Mr. Kennedy's Afro Latino knock off Mr. Hennessy.

Big PooPoo Dump Scat Steiner

Listen here ya bunch of Big Bootie Daddies, how much longer until that big ole fat sum bitch Tony finishes that damn deck?! It's been ions since we've gotten an update. Scatzilla ain't one to give out lessons, unless of course Tony wants to head over to the learning tree.

Bender C. Rodriguez

If each of y'all could pick any talent from across the 70s-2020s for a triple threat who would they be and why would Tony pick George Hackenschmidt.

StevenLaroque_DPWFan

When is dpw making an Arizona debut and If you guys could bring one star from any promotion who would it be and why Steven from Tucson Arizona

What's the worst wrestling injury each of you have seen live as it happened? Could be in training, a show you watched, or a show you were at.

Mister shit ass poop

What is the worst idea tony has come up with for anything DPW related?

Raze Lighting

What is your favorite behind the scenes story most people don't know about?

Breastination Unknown! Booby, Booby, Booby Soho!

I recently saw the thumbnail of a video suggest that DPW is similar to WhatCulture Pro Wrestling. I'm assuming the similarities being because WhatCulture is one of many UK wrestling YouTube channels and, of course, Deadlock, is a wrestling podcast. Have you read any such comparisons, and how do you feel about such a claim?

Richard Ives

Did James ever receive the autographed RVD book ?

SleepySheepy

If you guys could pick one wrestler to be the commissioner or on screen authority figure for DPW outside of yourselves, who would you pick?

Jack Girod

Any chance we can finally hear the story about the fucked up battle royal you guys planned? You’ve teased it all year long, my JOHNSON is frothing for the story.

In Delane

Out of the people who've appeared on basically every show(Bojack, Ali, Hill, Ray, Myles, Malachi), how many were "always part of the plan" to be mainstays, and who proved themselves on the way?

Scootr

What are your long term goals for DPW?

Zach Cains

Congrats on one year! I wanted to know would your tag belts be fought for in intergender matches? Any women’s tag teams on the indies or internationally you want to bring in?

LaTrel

Serious question, Are one of you going to ever wrestle in DPW, if so when? **(unrelated but Tony for his debut should get a mid taper fade with a double edge up and da goldberg design on the back)

Hot and Cold Aaron Cox

Surprise Untitled Theme Song Seg: Top 3 DPW themes? And if that's too hard to narrow down what are your Top 3 themes of current and former (fuck you lucky ali) Champions in DPW?

The Pef

Would you consider doing a show in my hometown Lancaster, PA? You’d be in Amish country so maybe you could book Amish Roadkill. Or just turn the roster Amish for a night. I’d love to see Amish Andrew Everett vs Amish Kidd Bandit

Gargajangles

Probably too personal of a question, but how's DPW doing financially? Like, are you guys actually making a profit or basically just making enough to pay for the next show?

Justin O'Hella

Best and worst live show you guys have been 2

DrgnMstrAdam

I've noticed some of the booking resembles New Japan style booking, the main event scene for example. Did you take inspiration from other companies on the booking style or was it just something that you guys developed over your first few shows?

Kinada Dragon

Any chance of a DPW Tour? From Philadelphia PA, joined the Army and got stationed in TX.

Limp Bizkits N Gravy

How crazy is it that you get to run a legit company with your close friends? Keep it up, love you dudes. Skeewoah

Adam Hebb

What’s a dream booking for you guys?

Adam Hebb

When are you guys gonna bring in kid kash to fight kid bandit over who has the rights to use kid in there name?

Adam Hebb

Would you guys ever have a match on Tony’s deck?

Richard Ives

What was your biggest influence to create DPW?

Go Hang A Salami I'm a Lasagna Hog

When I was a dumbass kid I genuinely liked Great Khali and Boogeyman are there any bad wrestlers or gimmicks you genuinely liked growing up. Go Birds

Cam

Always wondered the process of actually finding and booking a talent whats that like? And has there been a stand out that just hasn’t worked out? Thanks boys

Austin Elfman

when are you gonna run the 2300 arena?

Keshawn Mallory

Would you guys ever consider making a DPW video game? You guys seem to have a lot of good ideas about what they should add or do to make video games better suchs as last episode when you guys were talking about the AEW game.

Adam Hebb

When will dick the cock Johnson be booked in dpw?

Nathan Pierce

If DPW were to ever get an action figure deal, who would be the six talents from the company that you pick for the first release line-up? Any details you would want to include?

Jake D.

When are we getting DPW souvenir cups?

Ian Brandon Anderson

This question is mainly for James, how did you feel about Family Guy killing off Brian and replacing him with the gabagool dog?

suplex liberace

when the 3 of you debut in DPW what will your signature spots be and what will your trio finisher be?

Doing CZW spots on Tony's deck

There were a lot of talent like Sawyer Wreck, The Delinquent, and the Canadian Bastard and his weird demon friend who were there for the early part of DPW and then just disappeared. With people like that, was it an issue of getting them booked or just that plans fell by the wayside?

Doing CZW spots on Tony's deck

Intergender wrestling was an early focus of DPW, including in the original World title Tournament, but it seems to have definitely fallen off. Is there a reason for that, or will it return at some point?

Doing CZW spots on Tony's deck

Brother, George Hackenschmidt is from the dawn of the 20th century, he doesn't even qualify for your own joke.

Jules Pigott

Did you guys know from the start who you wanted to win the big Dpw championship first, or did that develop as the first few shows went on?

Mr. Cock and Balls Bart “The Hammer” Gunn

in the DPW Forever vlog you started to talk about an insane Battle Royal idea that yall thought of in the aftermath of YAK that was almost booked, and you decided you were not yet ready to tell that story, Please tell me you are now ready to tell that story

Uriah Edwards

One year later means another thanksgiving passed. Speaking of thanksgiving, James, did you enjoy your candied yams this year? Haha yeah can-deez nuts fit in your mouth?
