It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Let’s roll.

What’s happened to Wheeler Yuta? He just seems to have vanished.

He’s still on YouTube doing idiot videos for the Juggalos. Oh wait, that’s Super Humman. My bad! I always get those two mixed up. Yuta wrestled at a recent AAA event in Mexico so unless there was an injury that hasn’t been mentioned on TV, I’m guessing that he’s just lost in the shuffle and waiting backstage for AEW Creative to give him a role and something to do. Yuta is the current ROH Pure Champion according to Wikipedia, but hasn’t been used in several months.

Who Wins: Jade Cargill Vs Lita?

If the match takes place anywhere besides the current WWE, then Lita should find a way to get the victory.

Tiffany was recently called up from NXT and already a title shot. Really? What happened to earning a title shot?

Earning a title shot is determined on a case-by-case basis. As a former NXT Women’s Champion, Tiffany was able to jump to the front of the line. It may not always be fair or make sense, but it happens.

Thoughts on WWE re-signing Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre?

Did anyone truly think either man would be leaving WWE to go somewhere else? Congratulations to both men for their new deals and contracts with WWE.

What do you make of the reports of the Rock being late or difficult at work?

I think people might be jealous and just trying to stir the pot and make problems. Rock has been making movies and being a celebrity for over twenty years and we’re just hearing about this now? I’ll take it with the attention it deserves. Who cares?

Do you think Matt Hardy will return to the WWE to join the new Wyatt Family?

I like that Matt is keeping his options open and given the nature of a new Wyatt Faction, especially given who the potential members of the faction are rumored to be, a return to the fold by the Broken One is always a possibility. If it does happen at some point, I won’t be surprised, but I think the odds for a Hardy return will be for later on down the road rather than anytime soon.

Thoughts on John Laurinaitis joining Vince McMahon to push back on Janel Grant (the accuser)?

If Vince says jump, Ace asks how high. The idea that he’s changed positions and is totally in line with whatever Vince is doing should surprise no one. It’s the nature of the beast once known as Johnny Ace.

Thoughts on Kenny Omega being attacked by the Bucks/Perry/Okada?

Who didn’t see this coming? Omega gave what was arguably the best promo of his career and then he was removed as a viable threat by Jungle Jack Perry and The New Elite. Given Omega’s medical status, it sets up for a return down the road and also eliminates the biggest obstacle in The Young Bucks and the New Elite’s quest for power and control. It was predictable but made sense and was a good move by AEW.

So the Bloodline (The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tanga, Tanga Lao, Jacob Fatu) turns on Paul Heyman and gives him a beatdown. Heyman vows revenge and calls on his Tribal Chief and former allies for revenge. So The Bloodline versus Roman Reigns, The Usos, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman. Thoughts?

Throw all of these men into the double cage for War Games and I would 100% be on board for a story like this to happen. It would be incredible.

Why are wrestling ‘journalists’ so fragile?

By ‘journalists’, I’m assuming you mean Uncle Dave and Sean Ross Sapp because they are the two biggest crybabies pretending to be journalists in professional wrestling today. Uncle Dave is just old, stubborn, and refuses to admit that he’s not always right and times have changed. And Sapp? He cries, complains, and blocks anyone who dares to have a differing opinion. Yes, he’s blocked me because during one of his back-and-forth arguments with Disco Inferno, I implied that Disco has done more for professional wrestling than Sapp ever will and I guess that was a mean tweet because it was an instant block. Real journalists, like Mike Johnson of PWInsider, don’t mind criticism and admit when they mistakes. The difference is, guys like Uncle Dave and Sapp, they’re not real journalists. Not even close.
