I almost forgot about doing this today. My bad. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug. Let’s roll.

What are your thoughts on “cool heels”? Are you of the old school mentality that if fans like what they’re doing at all they’re doing it wrong or do you think there’s no ‘right way’ to entertain and as long as it doesn’t hamper storylines it’s a good thing?

The fans are going to cheer for whoever they want to cheer for, be it babyface or heel. As long as the wrestler can get a reaction, be happy with it.

Can you book the perfect 5 vs 5 eliminator match for a dream “Survivor Series: Forbidden Door” event between AEW and WWE? If you want, 1 for the man and 1 for the women!

I don’t know how perfect these are, but off the top of my head, it would be CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens versus The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, Adam Page, and MJF for the men. The women would be Toni Storm, Mercedes Mone, Saraya, Kris Statlander, and Mariah May versus Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Tiffany Straton, and Asuka.

What’s a mostly unpopular or bad match/gimmick that you secretly love?

A really bad gimmick that I loved? Heath Slater and the I’ve Got Kids touched my heart. The B-Team with Axel & Bo Dallas was a favorite of mine as well.

Big Daddy or Giant Haystacks?

I’ve only seen a video of Big Daddy wrestling maybe twice. I remember Giant Haystacks when he wrestled in WCW as Loch Ness. I’ve heard stories of both though via Jim Cornette, William Regal, and others. I’d go for Giant Haystacks for the win.

Do you think the Insane Clown Posse should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?

They had memorable, albeit short runs in both WCW and WWE, and all things considered, were, were far better in the ring than they had any right to be. While they’re not what I would consider top-of-the-ballot inductions, they’re far more deserving than several other celebrity inductees. They wouldn’t be my first picks, but I wouldn’t object either.

What dream celebrities would you like to show up in wrestling and what angle would you fit them into?

If Terry Crews was just a few years younger, I’d love to have seen him have a run in pro wrestling. He’s got the body and the look. But so far as modern-day celebrities, no one is coming to mind. Zac Efron perhaps? Considering how bulked up he got for the Iron Claw movie, a celebrity match against Miz or Austin Theory might be fun to see.

Who is the greatest tag team in WWE history?

If we’re keeping it exclusive to WWE only, that eliminates The Midnight Express from consideration. Let’s go with Road Dogg & Billy Gunn, the New Age Outlaws.

Donald Trump is expected to do an interview this week with The Undertaker on his ‘Six Feet Under’ pod. Thoughts?

I think this is very cool. While Kamala is dodging interviews, Trump is going everywhere. And this is also a big shot in the arm for The Undertaker and his podcast. I’m looking forward to listening to this and seeing the feedback.

HOOK has revealed he has seen the security footage of who attacked his father Taz, and says he will ‘handle them’ on next week’s AEW Dynamite show. So, who do you think it was?

Who would have a reason to attack Taz and face the ire of Hook? Someone who is relatively decent in the ring and needs a solid feud and program to keep them busy for a while. I’ll go with the easy answer. How about Sammy Guevera?

WWE has reportedly discussed potentially removing a current member of the Judgment Day. So who’s getting the boot?

According to the online talk, it looks as if Carlito may be the one to get the boot and be given a singles push. I like seeing Carlito as part of Judgment Day, but he is the odd man out in that group. And seeing Carlito challenging for titles again? That would be cool.

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.
