What is one of the best matches that doesn't get enough recognition?

Do you think gimmick matches like HIAC or MITB need their own PLE or should they be included in another show?

I met Drew McIntyre last week and froze. Have you ever had a situation where you've completely frozen and needed to quickly compose yourself?

Are you excited to be a dad?

I got 3 questions for you, you! 1) Have you and your wife picked out a name for your daughter? 2) What are your predictions for Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 3) Would you ever consider interviewing fans on the podcast?

Thanks for the book suggestions in the last Ask CVV - I've already read The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F and Atomic Habits. What should I read next?
