I was wondering your thoughts on the entire Nyla Rose issue with the Oklahoma State Athletic Commision?

My thoughts are the entire issue is trash and anyone objecting to Rose wrestling other women in a worked wrestling match is being stupid.    It's just an excuse to attack someone for being transgender, nothing more - and the person who "reported" this to the Commission is a piece of trash and should be ashamed of themselves, in my humble opinion.  I don't even believe the "it's a man vs. a woman" deal because I am sure we can come up with countless instances of female managers and valets getting physical and taking bumps in Oklahoma going back to the beginning of pro wrestling there and I am sure no one complained about, say, Sherri Martel taking a bump vs. Hulk Hogan.  It's just an excuse to attack someone.  It's garbage.  I am glad Tony Khan spoke up and said he feels AEW didn't do anything wrong.  They didn't.  I also think that Rose should be commended for using the situation to raise money for a great cause:

I saw on Twitter that PWInsider reported Meiko Satomura was released by WWE.  When did this happen?

PWInsider.com never reported that.  Twitter is full of garbage like that that has no bearing on real life or even logic.  I've long given up on trying to correct or mitigate it.  When I see something like that, I block those involved.  You should too.

With a fan hitting the ring on AEW TV last week, it made me wonder what was the dumbest thing you ever saw a fan do?

I've seen lots of instances of fans hitting the ring, but to me, the dumbest thing I ever saw a fan do was throw a chair in the ring during an ECW Arena event.  It either hit or almost hit Balls Mahoney.  Realizing Balls was coming over the rail, the fan ran, but instead of running out of the building, he ran into the men's room and hid.  That was the dumbest thing, since now he trapped himself with no escape...Balls quickly found him and the fan was roughly thrown out of the building...and let's say he didn't have a good time bouncing around on the walls and floor as he was forcibly ejected.   The fan met the might of Balls Mahoney AND Atlas Security - and got what he deserved/

The close second would be a fan who, after Beulah McGuillicuty was hit with a piledriver at an ECW show and rolled outside on the apron (to sell the punishment) reached over the guard rail to flip her skirt upwards in order to take photos.  As you could image, this Einstein was also thrown out by security, getting what he also deserved.

There were lots of other instances like that.  Over the years, I've seen fans hit the ring on everyone from Jerry Lawler to the NWO, try to start fights with the likes of the New Jack and Big Dick Dudley, grab women over the rails, try to take chairs back when wrestlers grab them to use them, wait outside looking for fights with wrestlers after shows after they'd already been ejected, all sorts of stupid behavior, but those instances always stuck in my brain.

What the hell happened to New Japan?  I can't even predict what could be the Tokyo Dome main event right now.  The product is so bad.

Well, they changed Presidents for a reason.  The bloom is off the rose, especially when they've lost Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay.  It takes time, luck and patience for things to get better when a promotion goes from hot to cold, sometimes almost an entire generation of trying to turn things around.  NJPW has risen and dropped before, and my guess is over time, we'll see a new generation get hotter as assets for the company, unless someone else hires them away.

Who trained Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa?

The Dudley Boyz.
