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

Seth Rollins vs Kenny Omega. Who wins?

It depends on who is doing the booking, but if we’re talking about a neutral territory, I think Seth should get the victory.

Who do you acknowledge as your Tribal Chief?

My bro-son, the Infamous K-Mak. He is our true Tribal Chief here in the NC. But if we’re talking about Solo or Roman, it would definitely be Roman Reigns.

Who should defeat Ethan Page for the NXT Championship?

After a long and successful run with the title, I think Page should drop the belt to Ricky Starks when Starks makes his NXT debut.

Have you seen anyone in the 2024 Olympics that you think would make a good professional wrestler and that WWE should be scouting?

I wish I could, but I can honestly say that except for a couple of clips on YouTube, I didn’t watch the Olympics. I saw the boxing controversy between the two women and the pole vaulter with the huge schlong, but that was pretty much it. So I don’t have an answer for this one.

How would you rate Larry Zbyszko as a talker?

During his AWA and early NWA days, Larry was easily one of the best promo guys and talkers around. He could generate heat like most others could only dream about. Once Larry became an announcer, he became a bit repetitive at times, but Zbyszko was a great talker.

Bob Backlund (in his prime) versus Brock Lesnar. Who wins?

This match would be fantastic and qualify as one of the ultimate dream matches. Brock is a wrestling machine, but Backlund is a wrestling machine as well and could match Brock move for move. I think Backlund would win.

Would Jim Cornette and The Midnight Express have done well in the 80s WWE?

The cream always rises to the top and the trio of Bobby Eaton, Stan Lane, and Jim Cornette would succeed in any era of wrestling. Even in the cartoony WWF of the 80s, I think the Midnight Express, especially with Cornette by their side, would do very well.

Mercedes Mone announced her divorce. Miro & CJ Perry have separated, and Adam Cole & Britt Baker have split. Is AEW toxic to relationships?

AEW is toxic in quite a few ways, but I don’t think we can blame the break-ups of marriages and relationships on the promotion. What the hell? We blame everything else on Tony and AEW so let’s blame this on them as well. Yeah, it’s AEW’s fault. Hell yeah!

Mr. Wrestling II versus Jon Moxley. Who wins?

Moxley likes to bleed, but Wrestling II hated to lose and had a bit of an attitude. I think II would win.

Say something positive about AJ Styles.

It’s too easy, but what the hell? He’s phenomenal.
