Yes, it’s another edition of the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m on a roll today. Let’s roll.

So 78-year-old Vince McMahon for a surprise appearance as part of the Royal Rumble. Yes or no?

While I wouldn’t put it past Vince to give it a try under normal conditions, he’s still recovering from back surgery a few months ago and is still having trouble getting around. If it wasn’t for that, I could see Vince giving it a shot, but given Vince’s current situation, I seriously doubt we’ll see Vince as part of the Rumble, or Mania for that matter.

Has there ever been a less effective manager than Mr. Fuji? I mean he did nothing except stand there during most of his wrestler’s matches and wasn’t a mouthpiece.

Mr. Fuji could at least toss salt into people’s eyes and take the occasional bump. Teddy Long, as a good guy manager in WCW, was far less effective as a manager. He was a good guy so he couldn’t interfere in a match, plus most of his clients were lower-card wrestlers who lost more matches than they ever won. The only thing that Teddy could do was talk, but since he rarely got any television time or the opportunity to do that. Yeah, as a manager, Teddy Long was pretty useless.

Matt Hardy and Edge are both in AEW. Do you think there is any animosity between the two of them based on past history. It seems they’re both happy with wives, but their past was bad with the Lita situation.

It seems as if both men have put the past where it belongs, in the past, and can get along and be professional. They have worked together in the past and continue to do so. That’s called being adults.

So do you think that Glen Jacobs, formerly known as Kane, could be a contender for the V.P. spot with President Trump?

I seriously doubt we’ll be seeing that happen, but having two WWE Hall of Famers in the White House and running our country, there are far worse things that could happen. Hell, we could have four more years of the Brain Dead Pedo and the Knees Queen. Lord, I hope not.

If you could only pick one person to return at the Royal Rumble, who would it be?

I’m going to pick two. One for the Men’s Rumble and one for the Women’s match. For the men, I’m going with Matt Cardona. As for the Women’s Rumble match, I’m hoping for AJ Lee.

Bam Bam Bigelow, DDP, and Kanyon versus Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Dom Mysterio w/ Rhea Ripley & JD McDonagh. Who wins?

This match would be awesome. One of the best trios in WCW against one of the best factions currently in WWE. As for who wins, Judgment Day has help from the outside and Mami makes all the difference. The Judgment Day wins.

Would you like to see Shawn Spears aka Tye Dillinger in the Royal Rumble?

Only if he enters at #10.

Vader versus Omos. Who wins?

It’s time. It’s time. It’s Vader Time. ‘Nuff said!

Bobby Heenan is better than Paul Heyman. Yes or no?

That’s like comparing Pepsi and Coke, as they’re both awesome and top-of-the-line, but have slight differences and people can argue all day about who is better. But, and even Heyman would agree, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan is the best of all time, period.

Stu Hart was well known for being a “shooter”. Can you think of any three wrestlers of the past twenty years that could probably take him in a legit fight?

I think Brock Lesnar could take Stu out in a legit fight, even with both of them in their primes. Two other legit shooters of the modern era that could maybe give Stu a run for his money, at least in my opinion, are Matt Riddle and Ken Shamrock.

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