Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com.

Question:

Answer:

E, I have no idea what you’re asking me and you won’t tell me what that K-word is supposed to be so I’m just going to guess. I don’t think I was ever good at that shit, anyway. I always kinda wore my emotions on my sleeve, so if I had a crush on someone, that person likely knew it because of my goofy ass smile. So, I’m not really the person to be asking about that. Now, if your question is whether or not you can hide having a crush on someone without just killing them, then I would say yes, that is possible.

Question:

Answer:

The undisputed king of gas station chicken is Dodge’s in Murfreesboro. Otherwise, gas station chicken can get fucked. I’ll eat it in a pinch, don’t get me wrong – but you’re just asking for a blowed up commode.

Question:

Answer:

Y’know, Steven….I don’t think people realize how many genuinely good one-hit wonders there are out there. This is a hard question to pin down. A couple of these came to mind right away….had to think about the other two. I would love to give this some more thought and come up with a top 10 list or something like that. Here’s what I’m going with off the top of my head:

  • Looking Glass – “Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)”
  • The Proclaimers – “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”
  • Eagle-Eye Cherry – “Save Tonight”
  • Los Del Rio – “Macarena”

Question:

Answer:

Weren’t there….like two other rivals to Monsters Inc.? I could probably look it up since my memory is failing me right now, but I’m pretty sure there were at least two more. But, those are just the ones they can tell us about. You know there has to be some real fucked up shit that they’re not showing us. Like, where did the fucking Bigfoot and werewolves come from? They have to have some real unsuitable shit for a Pixar movie in there somewhere.

Question:

Answer:

This is such a good, good question. There’s a whole group of guys that I like that I think deserve to get that credibility that comes with being able to call yourself a World Champion, and to me, that’s what KofiMania was all about back in 2019. Kofi Kingston had been one of the best in the business for over a decade, but that WWE Championship had eluded him his entire career. So, waiting for so long is what ended up making that run so enjoyable, and getting that moment on the biggest stage of the year is what made it so emotional. Who else could fill such a role?

R-Truth is well-liked, a savvy entertainer, and respected in the industry. I like John Morrison, but let’s be real – I’m probably in the minority here. It’s not like Morrison has ever been OVER over…at least to the point that fans are wanting a world title run. If you’re looking in the ranks of NXT, I would love to see Tyler Breeze get a run at the NXT title. But, they’re not going to give the KofiMania treatment to NXT. Besides, are fans craving KofiMania pushes for any of these guys? No – the spark is missing.

Big E would have that spark, for sure. He’s one of the most universally-beloved guys to come along in WWE since…well…probably Kofi Kingston. Now that he’s out and on his own, it’s a real possibility that he could get that run. Hell, let’s have an old school champion vs. champion match – Big E vs. Roman Reigns….title for title. I’d be on board with that, and y’know the WWE Universe would be too.

Personally, I’d say MVP. He’s always been one of my favorite heels, and I could never figure out why he never got that world title run back in the day. The Hurt Business was the ticket to get that man the run he deserves, but of course, you can’t put a heel in the Kofi spot on the road to WrestleMania, y’know?

Ultimately, I land on Cesaro. He’s the only guy of this bunch that I can think of that most wrestling fans, whether they like him or not, at least acknowledge that the dude is one of the best on the planet and deserves to join the champions in wrestling’s history. The Cesaro Section would come out in full force at the slightest inclination that he might be getting that ‘Mania push. He’s got the longevity on Big E (though I do think this question comes down to those two guys), so the moment might be just a tad bit sweeter.
