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

0-100%. What is the % chance that Moxley will return to WWE in the future?

I would place it at about 60-65%. When AEW goes under or when Moxley’s career is winding down, I think we’ll see Moxley return for one last run, probably a SHIELD reunion and maybe a Hall of Fame induction. I can’t see Moxley coming back for any long run or Dean Ambrose’s career revival, but a nostalgic one-shot with Rollins and Roman makes sense.

“I feel like AEW is more focused on having a 5-star match as opposed to having a segment that is hugely impactful and makes a moment.” – Matt Hardy via Busted Open Radio. Thoughts?

What is there to say? AEW is about big matches and not so much telling stories. Matt is just speaking the truth.

What would be your reaction if Shane McMahon went to AEW?

I would pop big time and love to see it happen. It would be a big move for AEW and could be a game-changing moment. It would be huge. I would love to see it happen and if it does, that’s one night I’ll be watching AEW.

What do you think of the idea of Ilja Dragunov winning MITB?

It would be cool, but Ilja isn’t my favorite to win. I would love to see Grayson Waller win the match and have the distinction of being Mr. MITB.

Norman Smiley versus Alan Angels. Who wins?

The match would be epic and fun to see. Norman Smiley was a fantastic wrestler and extremely underrated. That being said, I’ve been a fan of Alan Angels since his days on the Sammy Guevera VLOG and he continues to get better with every match. I think Alan would end up getting the win.

Can AEW go one week without a WWE reference?

No, I don’t think that’s possible.

Who is the WORST Money In The Bank winner?

I was going to say Mr. Kennedy, but then I remembered Otis. Otis is a good character and fun to watch wrestling, but he’s not World Champion quality in my mind, and having that briefcase was just a waste.

Did you watch the Wyatt 6 debut more than once?

I watched it several times, just to enjoy the details and let it all sink in. It was a great debut.

Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, or Drew McIntyre. Who has the most aura?

Of the four choices, I’ll have to go with Rhea Ripley. She’s amazing and can do no wrong in the eyes of the wrestling fans. She’s a great character and a better person and she just radiates “it!”. Seth is awesome and Drew is getting there, but Rhea is a force of nature and impossible to ignore.

At what point did the Acclaimed become so uncool?

I think it was just a gradual thing as the Acclaimed seems to have gotten comfortable and stale in their teaming with Billy Gunn and they didn’t evolve or change. Their schtick is cool, but doing the same thing week after week gets old fast. This is where the lack of stories and character development takes its toll. The Acclaimed are better characters than wrestlers and that fact just seems to have caught up with them.
