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

How do you suggest they work Jimmy Uso back onto TV, and where would you have him land?

Jimmy never betrayed Roman. He was taken out by Solo so he’s still aligned with Roman. So when Roman confronts Solo and the new Bloodline and has to fight the numbers game, Jimmy returns to save Roman and even the odds. As for where he belongs, it’s wherever his Tribal Chief is, standing by his side.

In AEW, did the Trios Championship contribute to the reduced quality of the tag division or expose deeper issues?

The two titles are separate and one doesn’t affect the other. The reduced quality of the tag team division is due to poor booking, the team holding the tag team championship, The Young Bucks, and the lack of defense by the champions. The lack of quality of the tag team division is just a symptom of bad booking and a lack of creativity by AEW management.

What surprise entrants do you want in the Casino Gauntlet match?

Jon Moxley is a likely candidate, but Shane McMahon would be cool as well. And what the heck? How about Bobby Lashley or Ricochet?

Who’s winning the Rumbles in 2025?

For the men, I’ll predict Joe Hendry. As for the women, let’s go with Chelsea Green.

Whom would you like to see Bryan Danielson wrestle after he wins on Sunday?

I would be surprised if Danielson wrestles anytime soon after the match at All-In. He’s having neck problems and is talking about possible surgery. But given the stubbornness of the American Dragon, I think we’ll see one or two more matches. How about a match versus Kenny Omega when he’s able to return?

When one wrestler portrays different gimmicks, such as Demolition Smash, Repo Man, and Hole-In-One Darsow, do you consider them to be the same character canonically, just going through different phases fashion-wise, or do you think they are totally different characters?

It depends on the wrestler. For someone like Barry Darsow or Ed Leslie, the different characters are like an evolution of a person going through changes. It’s like Mick Foley going from Cactus Jack to Mankind to Dude Love and now he’s Foley again. Different sides of the same person. If it’s someone like Charles Wright, as he went from being Papa Shango to Kama to the Godfather, it’s different characters.

Am I the only one who wants to see Brock join the good Bloodline (because of what they did to Paul) over Sami? Brock Vs Fatu is cash money!

Brock versus Fatu in a singles match would be awesome and is absolute money on the table waiting to be made. As for Brock joining forces with Roman for a match or two against the Bloodline, hopefully with CM Punk as the third person, to help avenge the assault on Paul Heyman against the Bloodline, that would be awesome too. I want to see it happen.

How would you have booked Mantaur as WWE Champion?

If I’m the booker, Mantaur isn’t going to be the WWE Champion. He’s not going to be anywhere near that title. So the question is moot.

On the topic of the cold AEW tag division, who would you book to be the next five champions.. and what teams should be made or brought in to restart it? For me, O’Reilly and Strong beat Private Party after they beat the Bucks (after heating up).

The current champions are The Young Bucks. I’d have them lose to The Aclaimed at All-In. The Aclaimed switched the belts with FTR and back and then lost the belts to Sammy Guevera & Dustin Rhodes. Then we see Sammy & Dustin lose the titles to Private Party.

What would you consider to be the Mount Rushmore of funniest wrestlers?

Let’s go with R-Truth, Santino Marella, Kurt Angle & William Regal.

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.
