31 OCT 2025 · SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Is it worrisome that business analysis of WWE has become nearly impossible given the streaming deals, overseas deals, and fewer direct connections to measurements that include actual fan satisfaction with the product.
- Does it seem pro wrestling fundamentally doesn’t work with fixed rosters over time? Aren’t boom periods usually a result of an influx of new wrestlers, including at the top of cards?
- Is there a market for a major UK promotion? Did the hosts on Dragons Den miss out on an investment opportunity?
- Wasn’t there a stretch a few years ago when Sami Zayn seemed washed up in the ring or at least dialing it down? Now he seems back at a top level, right?
- Choose sides in these rivals’ spats with each other:
- Vince Russo – Eric Bischoff
- Bret Hart – Bill Goldberg
- Ric Flair – Mick Foley
- Vince McMahon – Nailz
- Tito Ortiz – Dana White
- Should the Paul Heyman group add a third wrestler now that Seth Rollins is out?
- Thoughts on the next wave of "freak show" boxing matches: Tank Davis vs. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather? Also is Clarissa Shields vs Laila Ali a fight that can come to fruition?
- Thoughts on UFC champions leaving their weight division behind.

12 AUG 2025 · SHOW SUMMARY: In this edition of the Wade Keller Hotline, PWTorch editor Wade Keller continues the Hulk Hogan-themed episodes with a three-part, nearly three hour series on Hulk Hogan’s WCW Nitro era from start to finish.
Wade discusses those years with the author of the definitive book on the WCW Nitro years, aptly called "Nitro." (Order a copy https://bookshop.org/p/books/nitro-the-incredible-rise-and-inevitable-collapse-of-ted-turner-s-wcw-guy-evans/20891768?ean=9780692139172&next=t.)
The series begins with a look at Hogan’s arrival in WCW and how he was received and the difference he made. Then topics include his importance to the launch of Nitro and the early success of Nitro, the build-up to the heel turn that almost wasn’t with behind the scenes insights on how it almost didn’t happen, his relationship with Scott Hall & Kevin Nash, his relationship with Eric Bischoff, the seeming sabotage of Bret Hart once he arrived, dealing with the arrival of Vince Russo, and much more throughout.

25 JUL 2025 · SHOW SUMMARY: In this edition of the Wade Keller Hotline, PWTorch editor Wade Keller continues his series on Hulk Hogan with various topics and cohosts. This is the first of a two-part conversation with pro wrestling historian George Schire, a former cohost of the "Pro Wrestling Focus" radio show from KFAN in the early 1990s.
This theme focuses on Hulk Hogan’s breakout years from 1981 to 1983 in the AWA when he was brought in as a heel, but was turned babyface by the fans who cheered him and ushered in a new era of what defined a modern babyface main event act. This includes insights from that era, including George’s many conversations with many wrestlers from that time period who worked with Hogan. They chronicle Hogan’s rise in the AWA, disputes with promoter Verne Gagne, Japan commitments complicating things, who helped hone Hogan’s overall promo skills and babyface act, theories on what would have happened had Hogan stayed in the AWA and not signed with the WWF in 1983, and much more.
This is part one and part two will be published tomorrow.
