One more as I get ready to watch Money In The Bank. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Let’s do this.

How would you rate Omega vs Ospreay?

It was a very good match. I obviously won’t rate it as high as Meltzer, but it was good. Both men worked hard and gave 100%. On a scale of 1-5 stars, I’d give it a solid 4.

Do you think The Bucks would go to WWE when they’d have to give up creative control, potentially work more dates, have to do in-ring promos, and possibly be presented as a big deal? Who would they work if after the USOs?

I don’t think they would go to WWE because they wouldn’t have the freedom that they have in AEW. If they burn the bridges in AEW and have nowhere else to go, WWE might be an option, but I don’t think they’d be quite as happy there. They’d have to suck it up and work. After the Usos, if they were in WWE, I think matches against The New Day, The Judgement Day, and Alpha Academy would be next.

Who do you personally think should be Sting’s last opponent when he decides to retire and why?

Based on the past three years, all signs point to Darby Allin as his final opponent.

Who would you like to see do a podcast next / from the active AEW Roster?

From the AEW current roster, I think Christian Cage is probably the only person that has the experiences, the stories, and the name value as a multiple-time world champion, to draw fans and create an interesting podcast.

If LA Knight doesn’t win MITB, will it be yet another missed opportunity for WWE similar to Mania for Cody?

That’s a good comparison and you’re right. LA Knight should win the MITB Contract tonight.

Who should take the titles of MJF and Roman? Not who do you think will, but who would you pick?

Who would I pick? For MJF, I’d go with Punk as the natural choice. As for Roman, how about that belt being taken off his hands by Seth Rollins after Seth loses his title tonight to Finn Balor?

What do you prefer? Random Matches or Storyline driven matches.

I like to see characters telling a story. So it’s storyline-driven matches for me.

Give us one surprise you THINK will happen at MITB. Throw in one that you WANT to happen too!

For the surprise, I think Bray Wyatt and Uncle Howdy will make an appearance. As for one that I want to happen, I want to see Dom get the pinfall win over Cody.

If you could own the back catalog of matches of any wrestler this includes televised matches, dark matches & house show matches
Who would you choose?

From Day One of their career to the last match, I’ll go with Bill Eadie, aka Bolo Mongol, The Masked Superstar, The Super Machine, and Demolition Ax. So many matches under so many different identities. It would be epic.

Will Ospreay has been officially crowned the WON’s “Greatest Wrestler of All Time”, officially surpassing Mitsuharu Misawa. Thoughts?

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter and its awards mean only one thing. It’s Dave Meltzer and his opinions. Nothing more. I’m sure that Kenny Omega is upset that Uncle Dave doesn’t love him anymore and has found a new boy toy to slobber over, but aside from that, who cares? Ospreay is a decent wrestler to be sure, but the greatest of all time? I’m sure Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Harley Race, The Masked Superstar, Bobby Eaton, Roddy Piper, Terry Funk, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and about a hundred thousand others would disagree.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. And with that, let’s wrap this up. It’s nearly time to go watch Money In The Bank. My jar of moonshine is ready. Take care and be well, my friends. Watch out for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
