It’s the only wrestling Q&A that matters. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Are you ready? Let’s roll!

Should the Undertaker come back for one more match? If so, then against whom?

I don’t think that the Undertaker should have any more matches, but if he does decide to have one final match, it should be done in Cinematic style, to avoid any possible injuries, As for who, the obvious choice is Bron Breakker. Bron owes him a receipt from NXT a few weeks ago.

Bryan Danielson is injured again, this time with a broken orbital bone. Should he go ahead and retire already?

The injuries are adding up pretty quickly and yes, I think the day for retirement by The American Dragon is far closer than anyone expects. Danielson should let the injuries heal up, come back and do one final match, and go out with a big bang. If he keeps up as he has been, the chance of a permanent injury grows with every match. It isn’t worth the risk in my opinion.

My question is about Ronda Rousey and her impromptu Lucha VaVoom Tag Team W/ Marina Shafir. Do you think she’s just there for her 4 Horsewomen or will she go to AEW shortly?

I think if the money is right, we’ll see Rousey showing up in AEW sooner rather than later. AEW would be a much lighter schedule and probably more money and suit Rousey’s life as a new mother far better than WWE ever could. I think she’ll make the jump and become All-Elite.

With the current injury to Danielson, do you see him postponing his retirement a bit or will we see him wrestling in a mask like Undertaker did?

With someone like Danielson, there is no telling what he might do. I think he needs to ride it out until all the injuries are fully healed, then come back for one last match and one match only. I doubt he’ll go in that direction, but that’s what I would suggest.

Do you think ROH needs an overhaul or a new direction? I think a big issue is having most of the champions as AEW wrestlers who aren’t on the show very often at all other than Athena.

ROH needs a total reboot and identity away from AEW and as a unique and different promotion. The constant intermingling of talent and lack of an identity is killing the ROH product and name. Right now, it’s only a promotion in name, but when in fact, it’s just AEW lite. ROH needs its own show, wrestlers, identity, booker, etc.

We both know that unless WWE goes wild LA Knight isn’t dethroning Roman. Do you think this will hurt Knight in the long run or is he still a viable challenger in the future?

Knight is elevated just by having a main event match with Roman Reigns and so long as he looks strong, it shouldn’t hurt him a bit if he falls victim to the Tribal Chief. So long as keeps on fighting, he’ll be okay.

Who Wins 🏆: Seth Freaking Rollins Vs Maxwell J.Friedman?

If this had been three months ago, I might have gone with Max, but recent matches and bookings have me frustrated with the MJF character and performances. I’ll go with Seth on this one.

Kurt Angle versus Daniel Puder in the UFC Octagon. Who wins?

Are we talking now or in their prime? Right now, Puder would decimate the Olympic Gold Medal winner and do it rather quickly as the injuries on Angle have taken their toll and he’s just a shell of what he once was. In their primes, I still think Puder would come out on top, but it would be a much better fight and Kurt would take him to the limit and beyond.

Maven has expressed an interest in returning to wrestling and the WWE. Thoughts?

I could see Maven making a return at the Royal Rumble as a surprise, or maybe even a cameo as part of a RAW or Smackdown Anniversary show, but aside from that, I just don’t see it. Maybe he can still go and would surprise me, but I haven’t seen anything to indicate that as of yet. Maven as a one-shot or cameo, yes, but anything else, I would say no.

Molly Holly or Victoria?

As much as I love Molly, I’d have to go with Victoria on this one.
