It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Let’s do this.

Who would you have booked Bret Hart’s first feud in WCW with?

I’m trying to think of who Bret’s first feud was in WCW and I think it was Ric Flair. Given their history, I’d probably go with that, but I’d change around a few things in the feud and give it more of a push instead of letting it be buried and overshadowed by Hogan and the nWo as it was in real-life history.

What do you think the next 3-5 years have in store for the professional wrestling industry?

Continued success for WWE and AEW, more success for Impact Wrestling, and a resurgence of the Indy scene which has already started and will continue to grow.

Who in your opinion is set to dethrone Roman Reigns?

It will and should be Cody when all is said and done. If not Cody, then Jey Uso.

Who is in your Mount Rushmore of 80s WWF?

For the 80s WWE, I’d go with Hogan, Ted DiBiase, Paul Orndorff, and Roddy Piper.

What would you say are the three most important/influential feuds in WWE history?

Vince McMahon versus Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart versus Shawn Michaels, and Edge & Christian versus The Hardys.

Dom Dom for MITB? La Knight? Or someone else?

I’d love to see it be Dominik, but he’s not in the tournament. Let’s go with Riddle to win.

What do you think about Pretty Deadly v MMM? Just to spice it up let’s make it a Pretty Deadly w/ Austin Theory v Mustafa Ali & MMM. It would be good to see MMM back on screen again.

It sounds like it would be fun to watch and make for entertaining television. Hey Triple H, book it!

Mount Rushmore of goofy wrestlers?

The Boogey Man, George “The Animal” Steele, Danhausen, and Bastion Booger.

Brandi Rhodes made a comment on Twitter about the Cody Rhodes/Rhea Ripley confrontation on RAW that said, “Papa won’t hit Mami… but Mommy will.” So Brandi Rhodes versus Rhea? Thoughts?

I’m not a fan of Brandi, but I’ll be honest. As soon as I saw her and Rhea’s back-and-forth on Twitter, I started getting excited. It makes sense and could be some fun television. It would be a great way to bring Brandi in and even up the odds for Cody against Judgement Day. I like it. Book it, Triple H.

Three Way Six Man Tag Team Match: Jumbo Tsuruta, Andre the Giant & Terry Gordy versus Ivan Koloff, Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev versus Ric Flair, Arn Anderson & Barry Windham. Who wins?

The Russians are just there to take the loss so the winning team would either be Jumbo, Andre & Gordy, or The Horsemen. If I’m booking, Windham pins Kruschev and the victory goes to The Horsemen.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. And with that, let’s wrap it up. Take care and stay well, my friends. Watch out for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
