It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug and this is how we do it. Let’s roll.

Billy & Benny McGuire versus Curley Joe & Haystacks Calhoun. Who wins?

The McGuire Twins weighed together nearly 1,600 lbs. Curley Joe was a wrestler in the Northeast who weighed easily 600 lbs. Haystacks Calhoun was a star in the old WWWF and was said to have weighed around 700 lbs. I would hope that the ring was doubly reinforced. That would be a lot of weight and massive man meat in that match. I’ll go with Haystacks and Curley Joe for the win just because Haystacks was somewhat mobile. The rest of these guys? Not so much.

Rhea Ripley, aka Mami, is back. Who is in more trouble? Dominik or Liv?

I think that Rhea will eventually forgive her Dom Dom. They are too good together to keep apart for long. Liv though? I think she’s in for a rough time ahead. Mami is home!

Thoughts on former AWA World Champion Otto Wanz?

A German wrestler and promoter paid Verne Gagne to let him be AWA Champion for a few days to help promote his promotion in Austria and Germany. He wasn’t a bad wrestler, but nothing special in my opinion. It did shock the world when Wanz won the AWA World Championship back in 1982, but the shock quickly faded as Wanz returned to his Catch Wrestling Association in Europe, where he remained until his retirement in 1990.

Did WWE drop the ball by not booking The Bloodline vs. Hurt Business?

It would have been an interesting feud. To see two heel groups against each other would have been fun to watch. It also would have turned Bobby Lashley and company into babyfaces. Yes, WWE dropped the ball with this one.

Do you have any thoughts on Dave Meltzer? Be honest.

Dave is a great wrestling historian and, back in the day, was the man. Now he just seems bitter, biased, unreliable, and just a shadow of what he once was. He needs to call it a day and retire.

Should Sid Vicious be in the WWE Hall of Fame?

This one is a no-brainer. The former WWE and WCW Champion belongs. Yes!

John Cena, talking about who his final opponents will be, says that he’s not in the position to choose. Thoughts?

This means that he’ll give his opinions on the options, strike down what he doesn’t like, and then tell Hunter that, “Anything you want, it’s fine with me!”.

The Motor City Machine Guns are rumored to be headed to WWE. Thoughts?

Just a few weeks ago, the big news was that the MCMG was in talks with Tony Khan and spotted backstage at AEW. And now, they’re allegedly headed to the WWE. If this happens, it’s a great move for both the MCMG and WWE. It’s a bit late in the career of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin for a WWE run but look at AJ Styles. They’re just following his example.

Essence Jenai went on TikTok to claim Hulk Hogan ALLEGEDLY canceled her brand ambassador contract with Hogan’s “Real American Beer” after realizing she was black! She was told the rest of the events were canceled only to see the next day she was replaced by white women. Thoughts?

This social media chick is just talking to be talking. Her gig with the Real American Beer was for one week, period. And Hogan’s not the one making the call on the day-to-day decisions. Hogan probably has no idea who this chick even is. Looking at her, does she look like she’d be drinking a conventional beer called “Real American”? She doesn’t have the look or character and I doubt any of her followers, either of them, would drink a beer in a can. The executives in charge probably realized this and just decided to cut her loose. And now, she’s screaming racism and trying to play the victim. Essence Jenai is not a victim and nobody is being racist. she just needs to shut the hell up already.

David Arquette versus Vince Russo. Who wins?

Guess what, bro? Arquette would whoop that ass!
