It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A and that is all the people need to know. Let’s roll.

Dom Mysterio is more over than the entire AEW roster. Yes or no?

Listen to the reaction that Dom gets from the live crowds. I know WWE has been accused of piping in extra crowd noise on TV but listen to the reactions at the house shows and at the recent MSG show. Dom is arguably the hottest heel in the business right now. As for the AEW roster and their live reactions, it’s mostly “Eh!” at best. So the answer to this question is very easy, “Yes!”.

Victoria versus Chyna. Who wins?

Chyna would win because she’s the bigger “star” and that’s who the bookers would push, but Victoria is a better wrestler, nearly equal in physical attributes, and pretty damn over in her own right. It’d be a good match and far closer than anyone would expect.

Does Shane Douglas belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

Simply for the reinvention of himself into The Franchise, plus that moment where he threw down the NWA Championship and put ECW on the map, I would say yes.

Shawn Spears has left AEW and is now a free agent. Thoughts?

Shawn is good friends with Cody Rhodes, plus he hasn’t been used in any manner in years, so I can understand this move. Ty Dillinger at #10 in the Royal Rumble making a big return to the WWE. Works for me.

Sammy Guevera versus Dom Mysterio. Who wins?

Both men are far better than they should be at this stage in their careers and both men are likable, but have those faces that are just begging to be punched. Sammy is the more experienced and better in-ring performer at this point, but he tends to work too fast and take unnecessary risks far too often. Dom gets better every single time he steps out into that squared circle, plus he has Mami. I like Tay, Sammy’s wife, but Rhea would eat her for lunch and then go back for seconds. Sammy wins.

Shelton Benjamin. Does he belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

It’s a no-brainer. When Shelton decides to call it a day, that big gold ring most definitely should be his future.

The World’s Greatest Tag Team, Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas w/ Rico & Miss Jackie versus The Midnight Express, Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane w/ Jim Cornette & Big Bubba Rogers. Who wins?

This match would be a clinic in tag team wrestling and how two top teams, plus their extras, should perform in that ring. I think even Ole Anderson, Ricky Morton, and Arn Anderson would watch this match and agree that ‘Dem Boys can freaking wrestle and it’s a great match. As for the end results, that tennis racket by the dastardly Cornette conquers all. The Midnight Express would win.

Roman Reigns as “The Tribal Chief” Or The Undertaker, in Phenom form at WrestleMania (23-28). Who are you taking to win?

The Phenom was awesome, but the Tribal Chief is in the zone in every match, plus has the numbers advantage with Jimmy Uso, Solo, and the Wise Man. Roman would win.

So the Devil is Shane McMahon and the masked henchmen are the Mean Street Posse. Maybe? Thoughts?

I doubt it, but damn, that would make for some great television. I’d pop.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. And with that, let’s wrap things up. Take care and be well, my friends. Watch out for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
