Has it really been almost four days since I’ve posted anything? My apologies, Peeps. I haven’t been myself and it’s been a rough few days. But have no fear because your party host and Guiding Light are back. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Some of these questions have been piling up, but let’s see what we can do to knock them back down a slight bit. Let’s roll.

Who’s better of all time, Eddie Guerrero or Rey Mysterio?

It’s not a fair comparison because both are excellent legends and attempting to decide who was better overall is speculation and nothing more. My personal favorite of the two men was Eddie, but Rey has had a career second to none that continues to this day so he deserves his props as well. Who’s better? For me, it’s Eddie, but that’s just one man’s opinion and nothing more.

You get all the members of a faction in their prime for 20 years to start a wrestling promotion with. Who are you choosing? The 4 Horsemen or The Blackpool Combat Club?

Note that it says ALL members of a faction in their primes, so with the Horsemen, you’d have Flair, The Andersons, Tully, Sting, Lex Luger, Pillman, Benoit, Roma, Woman, Liz, James J. Dillon, Mongo, Malenko, etc. With the BCC, you get Danielson, Cesaro, Moxley, and the guy who looks like Super Humman, Wheeler Yuta. Is this even a real question? 4 Horsemen for sure, for life.

Would you watch Bill Goldberg in AEW?

Maybe if I needed a laugh, but to be honest, I rarely watched him in WCW or WWE either. I think I’d pass.

Is Rhea Ripley currently a bigger star than Becky Lynch was in 2019?

Rhea is currently bigger than almost any woman in WWE history and at her current pace, she’s destined to arguably be the biggest female WWE star of all time. So bigger than Becky in 2019? I’d have to say yes.

There are rumors that Austin Theory & Grayson Waller may be pulled from the 6-team ladder match at Wrestlemania match, but no explanation has been given as to why. Thoughts?

Well, they weren’t pulled and ended up as the Smackdown Tag Team Champions, as I predicted in my Wrestlemania 40 Prediction column for Night 1. So the rumors were wrong and I’m happy for that. Congratulations to Theory & Waller. It’s nice to see them wearing WWE gold.

“Flash” Scott Norton versus Hercules Hernandez. Who wins?

As much love and respect as I have for Hercules Hernandez, I’ve seen video of Scott Norton working in Japan and despite the way WCW misused his character in the late 90s, the dude was a true beast. Scott Norton had every tool to be a top guy and in the end, would crush Hercules for a strong victory.

Ronda Rousey claims Lacey Evans was originally set to dethrone her as champion, but a Vince McMahon last-second change led to Liv Morgan winning it. Thoughts?

A last-minute change and decision by Vince? Oh no, tell us more. I can believe this. My thoughts though? It’s the WWE and Vince changing his mind. It’s just another day at the office. It’s not a big deal. Oh well?

According to Mike Rotundo, the reason Bray Wyatt isn’t going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year is because Triple H feels it’s too early and would be too stressful for the family. Thoughts?

That’s a good reason and makes a lot of sense. There will be plenty of time to induct Bray into the Hall of Fame. His father and Uncle made sure that he was well-represented and remembered.

Bad News Brown versus Eddie Kingston in a street fight. Who wins?

Bad News Brown, aka Allen Coage. This one isn’t even close.

After his appearance and challenge to Adam Copeland on Collision, do you think that Matt Cardona should sign with AEW?

I think Matt should continue to do exactly what he’s doing, making money and showing up everywhere as the Indy God and the Death Match King. Cardona is on fire and hotter than ever and unless the name on the contract is WWE, he should remain an independent agent.

Would you like to see Uncle Howdy return to WWE television in the future?

I’m mixed on this because I’d like to see Bo Dallas, the man who portrayed Uncle Howdy, back in WWE and maybe a new version of the Wyatt Family, or the rumored Wyatt 6 Faction, appear. But how long can a person or faction exist on the legacy of someone else? Bo is good enough, with the right story, to be a big star as Bo Dallas. Uncle Howdy could be used as a path to open some doors, but as a long-term situation, I think there are better options.

How long before Dynamite drops below 700k?

At the rate they’re going, I’d say before the Fall hits, probably August or September. The decline in viewers grows each week and unless some big changes are made, I don’t see things getting any better.

Did Paul Heyman cross the line by saying “Suck my f*cking dick?”?

It’s Paul Heyman and he can say whatever he wants. ‘Nuff said!

And there you go. My thanks for reading and again, I apologize for the past few days with no content on the side. I’ll try and do better.
