It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug and this is how we do it. Let’s roll.
Both AEW and WWE have interests in Chad Gable & WWE has made an excellent offer to keep him. He also has key people in AEW pushing him to Tony Khan. Thoughts?
Chad Gable has been on fire recently in WWE and is on the biggest push of his career. While AEW might offer more money and a strong push to begin with, I’m sure Gable has eyes and can see how well those pushes go over there after the first few months. I suspect he’ll stay in WWE and I hope that he does.
Tony Khan tweeted, “I book wrestling for the sickos because that’s what I am and that’s who I care about.” and “Wake up the bots and tell them that we’re having fun over here in AEW.” Thoughts?
At least Tony is admitting the truth. One would think he wants to grow his company and expand his audience, but Tony is there for his niche crowd and little more than that. At least he’s honest about it.
Is WWE buying TNA?
I don’t think so, but it is something that might be a possibility at some point in the future. It’s all speculation at this point. We just have to watch and see.
Do you think Vice does a Who Killed ECW documentary?
If the ratings for the Who Killed WCW documentary are strong enough, anything is possible.
Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson & Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano has been rescheduled for Friday, November 15th. Thoughts?
Instead of trying to replace Iron Mike, we just have to wait a little longer. That makes sense. I just hope Tyson obliterates Paul. I want to see someone stand over Paul and say, “You just got knocked the fuck out!”.
Ricochet has allegedly informed WWE that he’ll be leaving the company when his contract expires. Thoughts?
Unlike some others who have their contract expiring and should stay with WWE, I don’t think that’s the case with Ricochet. Ricochet is an amazing performer, but I think he’s peaked in WWE. If, as I suspect, he’s offered more money to come to AEW, have a great match with Will Ospreay, and then fade away to catering and AEW limbo, I’d suggest he goes for the money and AEW. Ricochet will never be the main event in WWE. The roster is too stacked right now. It’s time to go for the money instead and that would mean AEW.
Do you think WWE is going to steal Jordynne Grace away from TNA?
I think WWE has their eyes on Grace and when her TNA contract expires, will attempt to sign her to a WWE deal. It’s not stealing though. It’s business.
Do you think Samantha Irvin will leave WWE with Ricochet?
No, I don’t. Samantha Irvin is doing very well in WWE and I’m sure that she’s happy with her role in the company. I can’t see her giving all of that up.
Eddie Guerrero or Shawn Michaels?
This one is tough. Very tough. But looking at the big picture of things, it’s a hard call, but I think I’ll go with the Heartbreak Kid.
What is your opinion of Missy Hyatt and Jim Ross hooking up?
They were both adults and single so good for them. Missy was quite incredible back then and Ross had just lost his then-wife, Jan, at the time. He probably needed a little incredible at the time. I’m happy that they were able to find some time together for a while. Again, good for them.
