One more for the books. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. We’re playing catch-up, but I’m getting it done. I’m Doug and you’re not. Let’s roll.

Ryback claims that “Triple H has his own NDAs and there are many more to be found with hiding horrible behavior. John Cena should be highly concerned as well. Alex Riley deserves justice as well. #Hungry”. Thoughts?

Consider the source. Ryback is not the most credible of fellows even on the best of days. If anyone else was saying all of this, I might give it some thought, but when he’s the one talking, I’m not wasting my time.

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see Roman Reigns?

Champion. Hey, WWE has done a great job with the marketing on Roman and even if you don’t like him or the way he’s been booked, he comes across as a legit star and champion.

Where does Dakota fit in the feud now that Damage Control turned on Bailey?

So far, nothing has been revealed so we don’t know. Maybe she’s with Iyo and the Kabuki Warriors. Maybe she’s the loyal ally that has Bayley’s back. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. That’s good storytelling.

If you could bring in any TNA wrestler to challenge Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, who would it be?

The first name that popped into my head was Rhyno. He’s big, strong, a veteran, and the WWE fans know him well. And a GORE will bring down anyone, including a ring general. It’d be a good match.

The Kabuki Warriors, Asuka & Kairi Sane versus Trish Stratus & Lita. Who wins?

Two Hall of Fame legends against two future Hall of Fame legends, this would be a fun match to see. My money would be on Asuka and Kairi. I always bet on Asuka, as I should.

The Rock’s daughter, NXT General Manager Ava Raine, says that she had received death threats due to the Rock/Cody controversy. Thoughts?

While I understand people being upset over the recent decisions by TKO to replace Cody with The Rock at Mania, it’s not worth threatening violence or getting upset over. It’s professional wrestling. Anyone who takes it that seriously needs to take a step back and get a life. It’s freaking sad! Ava is not involved in this decision by TKO and The Rock and has absolutely nothing to do with it, other than being The Rock’s daughter. She hasn’t even, to my knowledge, spoken about the situation. Wrestling fans can be great, but they can also be very toxic as this proves. This is just pure insanity at its absolute worst.

Braun Strowman says he’s getting close to returning to the ring. Are you excited for Strowman’s return?

Another big name to add to the already-loaded roster of WWE stars. Works for me. And maybe once he’s cleared to return, we can get an update with Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas and whatever plans WWE has to continue those stories and pay tribute to Bray Wyatt.

Lex Lugar or Gunther?

Lex wasn’t as bad or toxic as everyone likes to say, but between him and the Ring General, I’ll go with Gunther.

Kevin Nash recently stated, “Janel Grant “shouldn’t get rewarded for deviancy”. Thoughts?

As bad as it sounds, I kind of agree. Grant was perfectly happy and content with the whole sickening situation with Vince so long as she was getting gifts and getting paid. Vince quit paying and then here comes this lawsuit. Grant should, in my opinion, get the rest of the money Vince agreed to, as documented in their NDA since Vince was the one who didn’t pay his part of the deal, but nothing more.

Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin versus Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard. Who wins?

As much as I like Bron and Baron, and they are an excellent tag team, you can never underestimate The Horsemen. Bron and Baron would dominate the match, but some sneaky shenanigans by Baby Doll or James J. Dillion would give the victory to Arn and Tully, as it should.

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. I may be back later with more. Until the next time, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. And don’t sign any NDAs. I’ll see you at the matches.

Ubuntu!
