It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug and I’m here to answer any wrestling-related questions you may have. Nothing is off-limits. Let’s roll.

5 years later, was Jon Moxley leaving WWE the right move?

For Moxley, I think it was the right move. He was feeling hampered and unhappy with the WWE style of matches and promotion and felt he needed a change. He went to AEW, got paid a huge amount of money, and had the freedom to essentially do whatever he wanted to do. If he had remained in WWE, he probably would have been released by now or be sitting in catering with Sheamus hoping that someone decides to capitalize on The Shield nostalgia so he can get a match on television.

Agree or disagree: Bron Breakker will be better than Bill Goldberg?

Goldberg was limited as a wrestler and was only there for the money. Breakker is a second-generation talent who has an amateur background, a love of the business, an appreciation for the history of the business, and so much natural ability, that it’s almost scary. So will Breakker be better than Goldberg? How can he not be?

Are you in agreement with what Eric Bischoff had to say about Liv Morgan, that she’s lacking “authentic charisma”?

I think Bischoff is being too nice. Liv is an attractive woman, but her matches and promos are boring to me. I’d rather watch Sable wrestle or Debra McMichael. Liv is probably a nice person and all that, but she has no aura about her and is nothing special, at least not in my opinion.

So Liv Morgan kissed Dom Mysterio at the end of RAW. So does Dom get a new Mami? Thoughts?

No one replaces Mami. Liv might think she’s winning the game, but when Rhea returns, she and Dom will reunite and Liv will suffer the consequences because Mami is always on top and she & Dom are too good a team to split up.

Are AEW PPV events too long?

Most, with the pre-game show, the event itself, and then the media scrum afterward, run in the six to seven-hour range. Not only is that a yes, but a hell yes!

Adam Copeland broke his leg while Darby Allin, Malakai Black, Matt Taven, and Will Ospreay were all banged up and required medical attention at AEW Double or Nothing. Does AEW take too many risks with the wrestler’s health?

Wrestlers are often their own worst enemies and like to take foolish risks even though they know better. They do it for the cheap pops that no one will remember fifteen minutes later. The occasional big move is cool, but AEW does so many, they’re not big moves anymore, and and just another part of the match that blends, and no one will remember. They need someone with common sense to cut back on the craziness and tell the boys, “No!”. AEW likes to brag about how safe they are, but when it comes to in-the-ring action, they’re far from being safe. They’re not even close.

So if Edge has a broken leg, what is Gangrel going to do in AEW now?

Maybe a couple of matches against The House of Black as part of Dynamite or Collision and then back to the Indy scene banished from AEW and forgotten until Edge is ready to return if he even does.

And what happens to the TNT Championship?

Precedent would say we get an Interim Champion until Edge can return to action, but most likely, we’ll just have another meaningless tournament to determine a new champion. Tony Khan loves to do tournaments and we haven’t had one in a couple of weeks.

Describe The Undertaker with only one word.

Unique.

Mike Tyson versus Brock Lesnar. Who wins?

If Tyson could get some heavy shots in early, he may stand a chance, but the longer it goes, Brock would try and tie Tyson up, and given his amateur background, Ultimate Fighting Background, and just outright size and speed, I think Brock would win.
