It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug. Let’s roll.

Better wrestler? Brad Armstrong or Buddy Landell?

Brad was the better in-ring wrestler, but Buddy was the better character and promo.

What are your thoughts on Dominik Mysterio?

He is a talented young man who has no right to be as good as he is this early in his career. Dom is a future world champion to be sure and his chemistry with Mami is amazing.

So the Horsemen are formed, but instead of Ole Anderson, Harley Race is a founding member. How would that have changed things?

It would be a whole different machine and faction. While Ole was primarily a tag team wrestler, Harley was not only a singles wrestler, but also a multi-time former World Champion. I can’t see Harley sitting in the background and watching Flair as the Champion. It wouldn’t have worked. The Horsemen, had Harley been a part of the group, would have ended just as quickly as it had begun.

Does rock star Alice Cooper belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

Alice is the consummate showman and based on his appearance at Wrestlemania III, as the cornerman of Jake Roberts, has earned him a spot, more deserving than almost anyone, in the WWE Hall of Fame. Only Cyndi Lauper deserves to be in the Celebrity Wing more.

Fantasy Elimination Chamber Tag Team Match with six teams from any era. What teams and who wins?

My six teams would be The Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane), The Hart Foundation, The Usos, FTR, The Briscoes, and Rick Steamboat/Jay Youngblood. And the winners? The Midnight Express, of course.

Give your honest opinion on Mia Yim.

She’s a talented wrestler and good in the ring, but she has little charisma and more or less, just seems to be there. She’s a solid performer and athlete, but she doesn’t stand out except for being Korean. She needs a good reboot and gimmick.

What letter grade would you give Saraya in her AEW run?

She started strongly, but since the AEW debut, she’s gotten worse and worse with every appearance and match. A letter grade? There is always hope for redemption and improvement so I won’t fail her just yet. I would however give her a solid D.

Per his X account – Dijak will be finishing up with WWE tomorrow (6/28) after WWE decided not to renew his contract. Do you see Dijak joining AEW once his WWE contract expires? Thoughts?

WWE needs someone to be on top of things with the contracts and talent relations in WWE. Contracts are being allowed to expire or wait until the final seconds to even be negotiated. Dijak is a good performer and a talented wrestler. He hasn’t been used properly since the run in NXT-UK. I hate to see him go, but I expect he’ll leave WWE, rebuild his career and character much like folks like Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal have done, and then come back in a few years. To let him go right now, WWE is dropping the ball big time, but it’s probably for the best.

Bron Breakker will be the World Champion within 2 years. Yes or no?

I can see that happening. My reply is a resounding yes.

If Seth Rollins loses next weekend, who does he face at SummerSlam?

When Damian Priest gets past Seth at Money in the Bank, Seth will need to find someone or something to do. How about Seth versus Judgment Day, as in maybe getting a partner and going after Finn Balor and JD? Or hell, just Seth versus Finn Balor sounds good to me.

And there you go. Thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the matches.
