It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A and I can’t sleep. I’m your Guiding Light and party host, Doug. Let’s do this.

How do you feel about intergender wrestling? What’s the chance it will happen more when Raw goes to Netflix next year?

I don’t have many problems with intergender matches so long as they’re done sparingly and booked smart to not insult the intelligence of the fans watching. When an 80lb schoolgirl is beating up a 260lb man, it’s not realistic and comes across as stupid. Watching Rhea Ripley or Nia Jax beat up Akira Tozawa, it’s believable because Rhea and Nia are big women and Tozawa is a smaller man. Just keep it realistic. I don’t think we’ll see any more intergender matches when WWE makes the move than we already do. The matches will happen, but I think that less is more when men and women, the only two genders, face off.

Dusty Rhodes & Andre the Giant versus Hulk Hogan & The Rock. Who wins?

It would be a no-contest in some way, shape, or form. If there has to be a winner, I’d go for Hogan and The Rock to get the pin on Dusty, albeit through sneaky moves and maybe some heel getting involved from the outside, but Hulk and Rock don’t see it happen.

Where is Christian, Nick Wayne, Mama Wayne, and Killswitch? They seem to have vanished from AEW TV.

I guess that after the feud with Adam Copeland ended, Christian and his crew are probably just taking a break while Tony plays with his new expensive toys from Japan, the UK, and Boston. I’m sure that eventually, Tony will remember that they exist and Christian will find some poor soul who doesn’t have a father and start doing his thing again.

Pretty Deadly versus The West Hollywood Blondes. Who wins?

I like the team of Pretty Deadly and they have a lot of potential and talent. They’re going to be wearing WWE Tag Team gold before all is said and done. Lenny and Lodi were used as a comedy team in WCW, but they were extremely underrated and were very over with the WCW audience. This would be a good match and at any house show, would steal the show as the best match of the night. My preference would be to see the “brothers” Lenny and Lodi take the victory, but in all reality, I think that Elton Prince and Kit Wilson, aka Pretty Deadly, would walk out with the victory.

What other funny things WWE could do with R-Truth?

Nothing comes to mind right off the top of my head, but I know something WWE could do with Truth that’s not so funny. Can you imagine Truth with the Money in the Bank contract? Or as King of the Ring? Give the former NWA World Champion and national treasure a big moment in the spotlight. He’s earned it.

Where did WWE drop the ball with Mojo Rawley? He should have been better than he was.

Rawley was decent, but he was never a top guy or even a top mid-card talent. Rawley had charisma and good energy, but I think WWE got as much from him as they possibly could. When real-life friend Gronk started working with WWE and even that didn’t get Mojo over, it was obvious his days were numbered. He had a good run and did well to have that moment in the sun.

Is Kevin Owens the modern-day Arn Anderson? Who would win in a match between these two in their prime?

KO is a prize fighter, while Double-A is an Enforcer. I don’t see any comparisons at all. A match between these two would end up with Owens most likely getting the win, but Arn scoring some payback after the match with a sneak attack and ambush.

If you HAD to pick one wrestler to end the streak (who is not Brock Lesnar, who would it be?

If it had been up to me, I would have preferred to never have seen the streak broken. But if we have to see someone take that spot and be the one who becomes one, I’d go with someone who could be elevated and get a major rub as a result. How about Bray Wyatt?

How many ⭐️s out of 5, would you rate Will Ospreay vs Bryan Danielson?

I’ll admit it. It was a good, fast-paced, and entertaining match. I’ll give it a solid 3.75 out of 5.

Vince McMahon’s remaining TKO shares are up for sale… What is he up to?

He’s cutting the rest of his ties with WWE and getting even richer. That pretty much explains it all.
