I’m getting ready for work, but before I go, let’s talk a little wrestling. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. And here we go.

King Haku or Macho King Randy Savage?

Haku was/is a great wrestling legend, but Savage took the King of the Ring crown and made it something larger than life and special. Macho King for sure.

Who are your current top 4 favorite male WWE superstars?

Currently, it would be Dom Mysterio, Gunther, Kevin Owens, and The Miz.

If Judgement Day splits up, who do you think Rhea & Dom will side with? Finn Balor or Damian Priest?

I keep hearing rumors of Finn Balor turning face, so if there’s a split, Dom and his Mami would go with Priest to keep their heel characters strong.

Buddy Matthews & Rhea Ripley announced their engagement. Do you think this will affect the Rhea/Dominik relationship in WWE storylines?

It won’t change a thing in the WWE stories. And by the way, congratulations to Rhea and Buddy.

Do you think Adam Cole is going to win at Wembley and if so do you think he will turn heel to do it?

I don’t think Cole will win. If anyone turns heel, it should be MJF going back to what he does best, being the bad guy.

Do you believe Jimmy did what he did to preserve the tag team of the USOs instead of going separately on single matches or was it jealousy because he wants a one-on-one with Jey?

Jimmy did what he did because he realized that his brother is just like his cousin, only out for himself, and yes, some jealousy is involved. At least that’s how I’m reading the current direction of the Bloodline storyline.

Who would win in a six-man tag between the Elite and CM Punk, Ace Steele, and Larry the Dog? Two out of three falls match.

I’d put Larry the Dog over the Bucks every day of the week. Steele has a good bite to him as well. The Punk team would win.

Is the Bloodline saga affecting other wrestlers in a bad way? Because the title is frozen.

I think it is to a point, which is why we see Gunther and Seth defending their titles so often, and I expect Rey will be doing the same. But the Bloodline is also having a positive effect because interest in the program and WWE, in general, is up because of them, so it’s a mixed bag.

Best talent not signed to a major company?

Currently, a young man named Nathan Cross, who works for Atlantic Coast Wrestling and C.A.G.E., among others here in North Carolina. And once he finishes college and gets a slight bit more experience, Sammy Love would also fall into this category. He gets better every match. Hang Tyme is another. The WWE and AEW just need to send their scouts to any show promoted by the two promotions I mentioned, ACW and C.A.G.E., and they’ll be very impressed. Angel Angels, The Renegade Warrior, The New Breed, and so many others. These guys are the future of pro wrestling and looking at them and their associates, the future is so bright, I gotta wear shades.

To push the women more… shouldn’t there be a secondary belt like the US or IC?

No. No more titles are needed. Just push the women already in the division and book them well and that will work just as well.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap things up. I have to go to work in ten minutes. Pray for me. It’s Monday! Be sure to watch for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
