It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m your party host and Guiding Light, Doug. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Ric Flair recently said that the death of WCW was because of three men: Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, and Jim Herd. Here’s the tweet: ”I’ve Tried To Lay Low On This But Let’s Face It- Who Killed WCW? It’s A Three-Headed Monster! Jim Herd, @EBischoff, And @THEVinceRusso!!! There’s No Individual Wrestler Or Faction That Caused Anything To Kill WCW. It Was The People In Charge That Created Dysfunction, Animosity, And Tried To Divide And Conquer By Lying To Everyone And Involving Themselves In The Promotion Which Was The Ultimate Failure! God, I Could Give You A Thousand More Examples. I Am One To Live Through All Three Nightmares And To Be Saved By The @WWE! Thank You To The WWE For Bringing Someone Who Was Dead In The Water As A Result Of These Three People Back To Life!” Thoughts?

I believe Vince Russo may have been correct when he suggested that maybe Ric had been hitting something before posting because this one is insane. Ric has some valid points about the leadership of WCW, but he fails to mention that he was the booker for WCW on a few occasions, so wouldn’t that make him a part of that leadership? Ric really needs to put that bottle away and get some help.

More with the Nature Boy. Ric Flair on Twitter: “Wow, Glad You Got Back To Me @THEVinceRusso!!! Whatever Candy I’m Eating At Least I Can Afford To Eat Which I’m Not Sure You Can. I Would Give You $20k, @EBischoff $20k, And Jim Herd $20k A Piece Wired In Advance To Show Up In Tampa Or Atlanta. I’ll Rent The Venue In Tampa Or Atlanta, It Will Sell Out For Sure, So We Can Hash This Out. And I Guarantee That I Can Probably Sell This To A PPV Status Because I’m Ric Flair And You’re Not. Story Of My Life!” Thoughts?

So Flair wants to fight Russo, Bischoff, and Herd and will give them 20k if they accept his challenge. I could see Eric doing it and calling Ric on his bluff. Ric was really in his feelings with some additional stimulation when he posted all of this crap. Flair is so desperate for attention, not to mention upset that the producers of the Who Killed WCW documentary didn’t ask for his opinion or help. Shit like this is probably why they didn’t approach Flair for his thoughts. I can’t wait to hear Dutch Mantell’s comments about this Twitter tirade, as well as Bischoff’s response. I suspect we’ll see more from Flair, Eric, Russo, etc. It’s going to get even more wild. I can’t wait.

Should Chad Gable win the Intercontinental Championship on Saturday at Clash at the Castle?

If I was the booker and making the call, I would say yes. Gable has been awesome and he deserves a good IC title run.

Ricochet was lawn-darted into a production truck and got slammed on the windshield of a car. So was that his last WWE appearance or do you think more will be added to the story?

I don’t see this as the end. Ricochet may be leaving WWE, but I think there may be one or two more appearances, perhaps a big match against Breakker at SummerSlam before he says his final goodbye.

Does Sapphire belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

Sapphire was only part of the WWE for not quite two years and didn’t do anything else in professional wrestling aside from that brief run as Dusty’s sidekick. So would that be enough? Normally, I would say no, but I see her going in as a Legacy Inductee. With her having passed away a few years ago and Dusty being gone as well, there isn’t anyone to represent the team at an Induction. So it’s probably a Legacy deal or nothing at all.

DDP, Kanyon, and Bam Bam Bigelow versus The Aclaimed and Billy Gunn. Who wins?

I like the AEW threesome and they’re good, but the WCW Jersey Triad was better in my opinion. DDP, Kanyon, and Bam Bam Bigelow win. The Aclaimed and Daddy Ass will feel the bang!

What are your thoughts on the situation between Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio?

I’m sure that Dom’s new wife isn’t happy, but it’s storytelling and keeps things interesting. Will Liv steal Dom from Mami? Will Finn Balor end up with Liv? Will Dom go with Liv only to turn on her when Mami returns? It’s like a soap opera and the story can easily go in any direction. I’m enjoying this so far.

Should Tammy Sytch, Jimmy Snuka, Hulk Hogan, and Donald Trump be removed from the WWE Hall of Fame?

I would say no to any removals from the WWE Hall of Fame. Yes, Snuka murdered that woman and Tammy is a habitual drunk driver and murderer in her own right. Hogan is a racist and Trump is polarizing, but will be our next President. All of these people are controversial, but that doesn’t discount what they did in the past and what originally earned them the honor of being part of the WWE Hall of Fame. They made it into the Hall on their wrestling merits and should be left alone as they are. Besides, if you took everyone out of the WWE Hall of Fame that has some black marks and a shady past, Molly Holly would be all alone and the only Inductee. Leave the Hall of Famers alone already.

The Dudley Boyz versus The Usos. Who wins?

The Usos are damn good, but in the end, you’d hear Bubba tell D-Von to get the tables and the Usos would end up eating wood. The Dudleys would win.

And that should wrap things up for today. My thanks for reading. comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. Until the next time, my friends, take care and stay well. I’ll see you at the matches.
