It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m your host, Doug. And that is all the people need to know. Let’s roll.

Do you think The Miz will leave Monday Night RAW soon?

I think Miz will do whatever WWE asks him to, do a fantastic job in whatever role he’s asked to play and be awesome at it in the process.

The Wyatt Family, Rowan & Harper, or Andre the Giant & Haku, The Colossal Connection? Who wins?

Considering the physical shape of Andre the Giant when this tag team was featured as part of WWE, it would essentially be a handicap match with Haku taking on Rowan & Harper. While Hau versus any normal two men wouldn’t be much of a challenge for the Tongan legend, Harper and Rowan are not two ordinary men. The Wyatt Family should win here.

Who should be the man to DETHRONE Roman Reigns and end his legendary Undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign? The Rock, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, or LA Knight? Or will it be someone else?

I’d love to see R-Truth come back from his injury and take out the Tribal Chief, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. Of the four names mentioned, I think the best option continues to be Cody Rhodes so he can finish the story.

When Brock Lesnar retires from pro wrestling, will he be discussed among the all-time greats?

Yes, he will and he belongs in any discussion about the GOAT of pro wrestling. It’s Brock Lesnar. ‘Nuff said!

Hulk Hogan recently said that Ric Flair is the GOAT of professional wrestling, and surprisingly, not himself. Thoughts?

Yes, it is a surprise because Hogan is telling the truth, for once. Flair essentially carried Jim Crockett Promotions, The NWA, and WCW on his back for quite a while. He was working six or seven matches a week, traveling all over the world, against anyone and every one the promoters wanted him to wrestle and have great matches at the same time. It’s a shame as to what he’s become as he’s gotten older, but for his in-ring work and character, as the NWA and WCW Champion, Flair is and was the GOAT of pro wrestling.

Sherri Martel versus Charlotte Flair. Who wins?

While Sherri was a great character and the match would be fun to see, Charlotte is the better athlete and professional wrestler by far. Charlotte would win.

Do you think we’ll see Adam Copeland & Christian Cage as AEW World Tag Team Champions in AEW sometime down the line?

I think it will happen, yes. And when it does happen, their first title defense will be against Jeff & Matt, the Hardy Boys. Tony Khan will make it happen and in this case, he should.

Eric Young says he turned down an offer from Tony Khan and AEW because “I’m just going to get lost in the mix like 60 others”. Thoughts?

Eric Young is 100% correct and before anyone starts to argue, look at the AEW roster. Look at Miro, Wardlow, Athena, Brian Pillman Jr., and so many others. Young took a look at the scene in AEW and chose instead to go to Impact Wrestling, where he would be booked regularly and be a part of the big picture of things. Career-wise, it was a smart move for Young.

How would you rank the Main Event Mafia, from TNA Wrestling (Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Sting, Booker T, Samoa Joe, and Kurt Angle) as a faction? Are they one of the all-time greats?

The names are there and the talent is there, but I just didn’t see the chemistry or any stand-out feuds or stories with this faction. It’s all the smoke and mirrors of a great faction, but the hype is more than the substance.

Main Event Mafia (Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Sting, Booker T & Kurt Angle) w/ Samoa Joe & Traci Brooks versus The Dangerous Alliance (Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Bobby Eaton, Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko) w/ Madusa & Paul E. Dangerously in War Games. Who wins?

This would be, as Jim Ross would say, a slobber knocker of a match, and it would be a stiff, but very entertaining match. As for the winning faction, never bet against a bunch of Paul Heyman men and women. The Dangerous Alliance wins.
