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

The Exotic Adrian Street versus Magnificent Don Muraco. Who wins?

What a match between two very different styles of individuals this would be. Street with the theatrics and technical moves against Muraco, with the power game and ruthless aggression. It’d be quite the show. Muraco would most likely win.

Bugsy McGraw versus Kevin Von Erich. Who wins?

As much as I loved Bugsy and his crazy man gimmick, this one isn’t even close. Von Erich would win.

Fabulous Moolah would have been 101 years old on July 22. Thoughts on Moolah.

A good wrestler. A ruthless businesswoman. And a legend that, like her or hate her, planted the seeds for Women’s wrestling and set the path for what we see with the women of today. She was not a nice person, but she had one goal and that was to control women’s professional wrestling and make money. And she did both.

Whatever happened to Prime Time Elix Skipper? Does he still wrestle?

Skipper was a stand-out performer during the dying days of WCW and then in TNA as part of the Triple X faction with Christopher Daniels and Low Ki. He left TNA in 2008 and worked a few matches on the Indy scene before retiring later that year. To the best of my knowledge, he’s moved on from wrestling and doesn’t make appearances.

What does AEW need to get the casual fans to tune in again?

Book stories that make sense, be consistent with the wrestlers and their pushes, and present a good product.

Tamina Snuka & MVP’s names have been removed from the WWE Internal roster. Thoughts?

After MVP’s comments about Triple H and implying racism was the reason for the end of the Hurt Business faction, I’m not surprised that MVP’s contract is not being renewed. Tamina is a surprise, given who her family members are. She hasn’t wrestled on TV in quite a while, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see her go to work at the Performance Center as a trainer or in some other backstage role. From all I’ve heard, she’s well-liked by everyone in the company and I’m sure that they’ll find a place for her. She’s also done some acting work with The Rock, who gifted her a house if I recall correctly, a few years ago. Or maybe it was a car? But she’ll land on her feet and be okay. I’m sure of that. Truthfully, if the Bloodline ever does decide to add a female member, she’s the best candidate in my opinion, and would be great for that role. She’s not the best wrestler, but she’s big, strong, competent, and would fit right in with Solo’s new Bloodline 2.0.

Fuego Del Sol is back with AEW, working in a tag team match on ROH. Thoughts?

It’s good to see Fuego back on AEW television, even if it is for ROH. From all I’ve heard though, it’s just a one-shot appearance. Hopefully, it will lead to more dates on the AEW calendar for Fuego. He’s a talented dude and has a great charisma. I’d love to see him and QT Marshall go at it again and work an angle. Never underestimate the power of the Tornado DDT.

Matt & Jeff Hardy have made it known that they want to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. Thoughts?

It would be a nice feather in the cap of the multi-time tag team champions and would be a good way to get a nice spike for the NXT ratings as well. I don’t think Jeff needs to be working a full-time schedule anymore, but a quick run in NXT probably wouldn’t hurt and it’d be fun to see.

Rikishi has called out WWE for their use of Jey Uso, the storyline with Rhea Ripley, and not using him properly. Thoughts?

I can see his point. Jey is married. Rhea just got married to Buddy Murphy and although Murphy isn’t a part of WWE right now, the wrestling fans know. Hell, Dominik just got married a few months ago as well, so this story with Liv can’t be good for his marriage. And Liv is, or at least was, living with and dating Bo Dallas. I like the Liv/Dom/Rhea story thus far, but Jey trying to come in and steal Rhea from Dom just doesn’t make sense or add much to the story that couldn’t be done differently. Jey is way over with the whole Yeet thing and I can get why WWE wants him to interact with Judgment Day, but he doesn’t need to be part of the crazy love triangle mess.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s close up for now. I have to go to a doctor’s appointment. Wish me well. Stay well, my friends, and I’ll see you at the matches.
