It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A, aka the best damn wrestling Q&A, period. I’m Doug, your resident party host and Guiding Light. Are you ready? Let’s rock!

If Vince McMahon is found innocent of all charges, do you think he would be welcome back in the WWE or at least get inducted into the Hall of Fame?

Vince did some sleazy stuff, be it legal or not, and he’s damaged goods. Vince is not part of TKO or WWE anymore and there is no chance in hell of Vince coming back to be a part of WWE. After he passes away, I can see WWE inducting Vince into the HOF because, despite all the sleaze and craziness, he does deserve that. But so long as he’s alive and breathing, we’ll never see Vince in a WWE ring or at a WWE event again.

How long should Gunther’s reign as WWE world heavyweight champion last?

As long as it needs to be. Gunther is a good wrestler with a strong appeal to the WWE fans and it makes sense to have him as the WWE World Champion. So long as it continues to make sense, WWE should run with it.

Did Ole Anderson quit wrestling due to injuries, to be the booker, or why?

Ole slowed down on the in-ring wrestling due to injuries and to be the booker for WCW. He quit when Eric Bischoff fired him and since Ole didn’t need the money and was tired of the BS, he chose to walk away from the business. Then his health declined as Ole suffered from MS and other ailments. His reason for quitting wrestling was Bischoff. His reasons for staying away were medical, plus being tired of the stupidity and games.

Should AEW have a Women’s Trios Championship?

Sure. Why not. AEW/ROH needs more titles that the fans can ignore and will mean absolutely nothing. Do they even have enough competent women wrestlers for a Women’s Trio Championship? Enough with the sarcasm. No, AEW doesn’t need any more championship titles. They have way too many as it is.

What are the first words that come to mind when you hear the name Vince McMahon?

Crazy billionaire Mr. McMahon.

Now that Roman Reigns is a babyface, name one heel you would like to see him feud with during this run.

Roman Reigns versus Gunther could be fun to see. Roman versus Damian Priest would be cool as well.

WWE has discussed taping WWE Raw on Sundays following international PLEs, to allow talent more time to recover, rather than rushing back to the US. This idea has not been approved or cleared yet. Thoughts?

It makes sense and would probably make things easier for the talent and production crews. They should give this idea some thought. It makes sense.

Fuego Del Sol versus QT Marshall at AEW All-In in Wembley. Yes or no?

I’d love to see this match happen again. These two guys work so well together and I think Fuego owes QT some payback, courtesy of the Tornado DDT. Book it, AEW and Tony Khan.

Bryan Danielson says he has no interest in a WWE “Hall of Fame ring or accolades”. He just wants to be free. Thoughts?

Danielson may have no interest at the moment, but once he’s free and clear of an AEW contract, I have no doubt that if WWE calls and offers, we’ll see him back in WWE and getting that HOF Induction. Danielson is saying what he needs to say right now as part of AEW, but when and if WWE calls, he won’t say no or turn them down.

If Samoa Joe never had to deal with shitty booking for most of his career he’d be in the top 3 greatest wrestlers of all time discussion easily. Yes or no?

No, I don’t think so. Joe is a talented wrestler and a solid performer. No one denies that. But the booking and different stints with different promotions made his career and helped propel him into the spotlight. Without that “shitty booking”, no one would have a clue as to who Samoa Joe is or even give a damn. Top three of all time? That’s a subjective argument and for me personally, shitty booking or not, he’s not a Top Ten guy.

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 wrap it up for now. Take care and be well, my friends. Watch out for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
