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

Do you think they are setting Chelsea Green up as a title contender for Mania? She’s been interacting a lot with Queen Nia and Tiffany.

Chelsea is very over with the fans and I think there is title contention and championship gold in her future. I would love to see her challenge for the title at Mania. She deserves it.

When do you think Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman return to help Roman Reigns against the Temu version of the Bloodline?

They’ll return when the time is right and it makes sense and not a minute before then.

How much would someone have to pay you to take 5 bare skin chops from Gunther?

I remember taking a chop from my former roommate, Phoenix Michael Youngblood, way back in the mid-90s when we lived together and I had a handprint on my chest for a couple of days. That shit hurt! And Gunther has bigger hands than Michael and I suspect it would hurt even worse. Give me at least $500 or I’m not even doing it.

If the temperature was determined by the heat a wrestler got how hot would Dom be?

Dom would be on fire and melting metal at this point. The dude is one of the hottest heels around, just by being someone you want to punch. He’s good!

What wrestling move (other than super kicks) would you like to see used less in WWE and AEW?

The Canadian Destroyer piledriver and going through the tables. One should be a finisher and the other should result in hospitalization, but instead, they’re commonplace and just another spot. That needs to change.

Who’s spookier: The Fiend, Uncle Howdy, or The Boogyman?

Of the three, The Fiend gave me the creeps more than the other two.

When should any wrestling organization do another All Female PLE?

I would love to see WWE do an Evolution II event. Between their main roster, NXT, and TNA, they have access to the majority of the best women wrestlers in the business today and could present an amazing show. As for when, whenever the calendar is free & it makes sense. Maybe in conjunction with one of the Saudi shows?

If Shane McMahon does join AEW, what does he bring to the table? Because he’s not a good wrestler, his creativity is garbage and he has as many failed businesses as his old man outside of wrestling.

If Shane goes to AEW, he brings the name McMahon. Nothing else is needed and it will draw the eyes and ears of the entire wrestling world. How AEW would keep the audience after the initial shock wears off, I have no idea, but just the idea of Shane being All Elite is great publicity.

On August 31 in Philadelphia at NWA 76, NWA President Billy Corgan will be on hand to make an exciting announcement about the future of the NWA! What do you think his announcement will be?

NWA already has a home on the CW App, but I’m hoping that maybe a streaming deal, like with Tubi or Disney, is on the table. Maybe a major signing of a new talent? There are plenty of big free agents out there such as Ricochet, Backy Lynch, Bobby Lashley, Mustafa Ali, and MVP who could all add quite a bit to the NWA roster. We’ll just have to wait and see.

What are your current interest levels in Paige/Saraya having another run in WWE?

Saraya is expected to appear as part of the AEW All-In at Wembley, but her contract is rumored to be expiring very soon. So another run with WWE? Honestly, I have no interest in seeing her return. Her time in AEW has diminished her credibility and star power. WWE doesn’t need her and truthfully, she’d be more of a liability than she’s worth.

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