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

What feuds with Jade Cargill are you most excited about?

I’m looking forward to seeing Cargill against Rhea Ripley, Nia Jax, and Asuka. Any of those match-ups should be good.

You are the captain of a Survivor Series team, who is the rest of your team? Past and present wrestlers are allowed.

I’d be on the outside of the ring in the managerial role, and my team? How about Brock Lesnar, Harley Race, The Masked Superstar, and The Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane)? Sounds like a winning team to me.

Do you think WWE or AEW will ever do another all-women’s premium live event/pay-per-view maybe with a month build-up of all women’s shows such as all-women’s Raw SmackDown NXT Dynamite Rampage and Collision?

The build-up you speak of, having all-women editions of Dynamite, RAW, or any of the other shows, will never happen. AEW doesn’t have the roster and talent necessary to have an all-women’s event. WWE has the talent available, but they would never devote a full show to just one gender. So far as a PPV event, I could see WWE doing an Evolution II event. With the popularity of stars like Rhea Ripley, Nia Jax, Asuka, Becky Lynch, and new addition Jade Cargill, I’ll be more surprised if they don’t do this eventually.

Do you think Brock Lesnar should have another run as champion?

If it makes sense and Brock is used to give the rub to another star and make that talent better, then yes. If it’s just to give Brock another title, then no.

Do you think Carlito is going to return to WWE? We have been waiting for that.

According to people who should know, Carlito has been signed to a WWE Contract and is just waiting for Creative to come up with the right moment to have him make his debut and show up. Maybe he’s Cena’s mystery partner for Fastlane? He’s under contract to WWE so he’ll be popping up sooner or later, hopefully sooner. It’s just a matter of when.

Should Smackdown go to 3 hours when it goes to USA Network?

No. Three hours is too long for a weekly television show. Two hours is quite sufficient.

If you could see any tag team match, between any teams (past or present), with any stipulation, what would the match be?

The best team of the ’70s, The Anderson Brothers, teamed with the best team of the ’80s, the Midnight Express in an 8-man Tag Team Match, against the two best teams of the modern generation, The Usos and FTR. As for a stipulation, how about War Games?

Where should Jade Cargill debut? NXT, Raw or Smackdown?

When Cargill makes her debut, given all the hype and build, it should be on one of the main shows, and given the recent ratings, I would say Smackdown.

How much of NJPW do you watch?

Very little. If I hear of a match that gets a lot of hype and sounds good, I’ll try to find it online and watch, but that’s about it. I prefer American-based wrestling.

Thoughts on the Good Brothers, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.

I think they’re an amazing team that has all of the tools to be at the top of any company. Why WWE isn’t using them more prominently, either competing for the tag team titles or as AJ Styles’ backup, doesn’t make sense. Both men can work in the ring, plus talk and cut amazing promos. They don’t get nearly the credit they deserve, nor the push that they should be getting.

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 it up for now. Take care and be well, my friends. Watch out for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
