Let’s talk wrestling. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Let’s roll.

When Roman does eventually lose the titles and goes away, where do you think Paul Heyman will go?

Paul will go wherever he wants to and be with whoever he sees potential and talent in and wants to get over. Austin Theory perhaps? Madcap Moss would be good too.

What’s the status of Bray Wyatt?

Your guess is as good as mine, but if he doesn’t show up soon and do something big, I expect that he’ll be sitting at home playing with his puppets while looking for employment. I like Bray and if he was to just go back to his old cult-leader status, he could easily be at the top of the WWE roster and making tons of money, but the man seems to have some issues going on. Let’s hope that everything can be worked out and settled because otherwise, Bray will be cut loose and be just a footnote in WWE history rather than the big star he should be.

Do you think Miz needs to be appreciated more?

Miz is easily the go-to guy in WWE who can do anything and stay credible. I think WWE does appreciate everything he does for the company and shows it by allowing him to do the reality show and get a big paycheck for both him and his wife. Miz is awesome and the WWE knows it.

Is the wrestler who will beat Roman Reigns currently on the WWE Roster? Will Roman pass Pedro Morales? Will he pass Hogan?

Roman will not beat the records set by Morales, Backlund, or Bruno so let’s don’t even think about that. As for Hogan, his reign as Champion lasted 1474 days. If the titles are split up and Roman only keeps one belt, I could see WWE keeping him as one of their top guys for another year and a half to beat Hogan’s reign. It’s not likely, but it could happen. If Roman remains a double champion and the only top guy on the roster, I don’t think there is much time left for the Head of the Table to remain the Tribal Chief. Hogan’s record should be safe.

Who should be the new challengers to the women’s titles – Both Bianca and Rhea?

I’d like to see Chelsea Green challenge Bianca for her belt. As for Rhea, how about her taking on a healthy, heel version of Ronda Rousey? Works for me.

Does Randy return and take the title from Roman at SummerSlam?

I think Randy will return, but I don’t see a feud with Roman in his immediate future. at least not for the title. I think Cody is the man destined to eventually dethrone Roman while Randy will be more focused on just kicking ass and making sure that everyone gets the opportunity to feel an RKO from out of nowhere.

Was Supercard of Honor better than Wrestlemania? I didn’t watch either night.

Wrestlemania, both nights, had memorable matches, good storytelling, and was an incredible spectacle of a show. ROH Supercard of Honor had one memorable moment and that was Dante Martin snapping his leg over a stupid move that made no sense. Watching both nights of Mania, plus NXT Stand & Deliver, and then watching ROH Supercard of Honor was like watching an NFL game of football and then later, watching a bunch of three-year-olds tossing a football in the street. The production values, the in-ring matches, the stories, etc., of WWE, are so far beyond the mess that is AEW/ROH, it’s scary and kind of sad.

Asuka and Bobby Lashley both don’t seem happy about how their Wrestlemania ended up. What do you think Papa H is going to do to sort it out?

Give them good storylines, good matches, and maybe a cash bonus for being such good hands for the WWE. I don’t think that either of them is seriously too unhappy. Triple H will make things right.

What are the chances we see Carlito or the Colons at Backlash?

The WWE is in their hometown running a big PPV event. I think that the odds of Primo, Epico, and Carlos Colon all being on camera and doing a spot or two are extremely likely. As for Carlito, he may or may not be there, but I hope that he is. That would be cool!

My question is very simple. WHY SHANE? WHY NOT LA KNIGHT?

Reports are coming out now that there was a Lashley versus LA Knight segment scheduled, but it was scrapped at the last minute by Vince. I don’t know how true this is, but I can see that happening. As for why Shane, it’s Wrestlemania and they wanted to have a McMahon appearance somewhere during the show. Vince is too controversial and Stephanie recently left the company so who does that leave? It was either Shane or Linda, but I suppose that Linda doesn’t want to tear her Quad and said no, so Shane-O it was. And well, we all saw how well that went.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. And with that, it’s time to wrap this up. Take care and be well, my friends. Stay safe and watch out for foreign objects. Don’t pull a McMahon and tear your quad. And I’ll see you at the matches.

Ubuntu!
