I’m Doug and this is the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Let’s roll.

With Netflix canceling shows at the drop of a hat, do you think there will ever be a case of them just ending their partnership with WWE?

I think it’s probably safe to assume that there is much in the paperwork of the WWE/Netflix deal to prevent something like that from happening. Most likely, there is a guaranteed agreement, with provisions for future dates. Without actually seeing the deal, we don’t know. I think it’s safe to say WWE is protected from being dumped with no notice or warning.

With the Tag Team division in AEW being in a not-good state, in my opinion, who do you think could dethrone The Young Bucks as champions? It should be The Outrunners because it should always be The Outrunners.

The Outrunners are a good team, but I am thinking more about FTR filling that role with the tag team titles.

If/when AEW establishes a Hall of Fame -, should it have a physical location? And b, Who would you induct in the debut year?

I’ve answered this before. Yes, it should be physical. As for who, I can’t remember everyone I originally listed, but I know Sting and Owen Hart should be inducted. I think my other choices were Chris Jericho, Jeff Jarrett, and Cody Rhodes.

How would you rate Ava Raine as the General Manager of NXT?

She has no presence and mumbles when she talks. My guess is she wasn’t developing well as a wrestler, so they stuck her in this GM role. She sucks here too. It must be nice to have The Rock as a father. Otherwise, she’d be working at the local Piggly Wiggly.

The Undertaker & Roddy Piper versus Stone Cold Steve Austin & Triple H. Who wins?

What a match this would be. I’ll go with Triple H and Austin for the win after Piper turns on Taker and walks out of the match.

Will the Women’s Speed title do anything positive for the women’s division or is it completely meaningless?

I keep forgetting it even exists. It’s even less relevant than the old 24/7 title was.

With all the criticism of Papa H in his booking of black wrestlers, how and who would you give a push to on the main roster, not NXT?

We already have black wrestlers as the Women’s Champion in Nia Jax, as well as the Women’s Tag Team Champions with Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill. I’d give Kofi versus Woods some spots and forget about the criticism. The WWE roster is full of people of color, people of foreign descent, and a few white folks scattered in the mix as well. It’s about talent and being the best, not skin color. People are just trying to create a scandal when there is none. Triple H just needs to proceed as planned and forget about the ignorant haters.

What do you see MJF doing when he comes back?

Cutting a lot of promos, getting involved in a meaningless feud with Daniel Garcia, briefly challenging one of the champions, and then taking time off again.

Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul. Do you think this fight will ever happen? And if it does, realistically, who wins?

The fight is currently scheduled for November 15 on Netflix, so it looks as if it will be happening. And who wins? Mike Tyson. ‘Nuff said!
