It's Twitter Request Line time, everyone! I take to Twitter to get questions about issues in wrestling, past and present, and answer them on here because 280 characters can't restrain me, fool! If you don't know already, follow me @tholzerman, and wait for the call on Wednesday to ask your questions. Hash-tag your questions #TweetBag, and look for the bag to drop Thursday afternoon (most of the time). Without further ado, here are your questions and my answers:
What are your five favorite game shows of all time and why? Don’t worry about what’s objectively the best, just what you personally enjoy. #TweetBag

2. Double Dare - Kinda like Jeopardy but with a lot more slime. Plus, Harvey the PA guy was a DJ on WMGK in Philly.
3. Wheel of Fortune - It's fun to yell at people overthinking solving a puzzle, way more fun than you'd think.
4. Guy's Grocery Games - It's got the edge over Chopped because Guy Fieri is affable and the judges aren't throbbing penises, and that's even with overlap between the shows!
5. American Gladiators - It was enough like pro wrestling for me to like it and just different enough to have a hook.
Any thoughts on the SNL fiasco happening right now? Obviously Gillis shouldn't have said what he did, but what do you think SNL's culpability is for either not vetting or vetting and making a choice to court a different audience only to have it blow up and then try to back away?
— John Rosenberger (@JohnJohnPhenom) September 18, 2019Saturday Night Live saying they wanted to cater to a "conservative audience" is pretty rich given the show had Donald Trump host in the midst of his primary campaign for the Republican nomination to be President and they caved HARD when Dan Crenshaw whined and cried about them lampooning him on the show. But pretending those things didn't happen, I'm not sure why SNL should've been in the market for anyone but whom they've been hiring over the years. Comedy done in service of conservatism is only funny if you like seeing the powerful punch down at marginalized folks. Asian people already have it rough enough over here without dude pretending to be one and badly.
What this Shane Gillis thing shows is that SNL doesn't give a fuck. Just because they haven't had to vet their cast before now doesn't mean they shouldn't have done it for everyone from Chevy Chase and Bill Murray down to all the way down to Gillis. It's not only morally right, but unfortunately, the biggest reason to do it is so you don't lose sponsorship money. If you're going to push the boundaries, why not hire a leftist comedian? I guess Barack Obama wouldn't return their calls in that case, but hey, you can't win 'em all.
