It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. It’s a Sunday morning coming down. Shout out to Kris Kristofferson. RIP Sir. I’m Doug. Let’s do this.

Angelo “King Kong” Mosca versus Jacob Fatu? Who wins?

Jacob Fatu is so good in his role as the Enforcer for the new Bloodline. He’s a monster of a man and exemplifies the words danger and threatening. But there was another man back in the name whose nicknames were Big and Nasty. A man who was known also as King Kong. So this would be King Kong versus The Samoan Werewolf. Angelo Mosca versus Jacob Fatu. It would be a tough fight. It would be stiff and brutal. Both men would probably bleed. And King Kong Mosca would walk out with a hard-fought win.

Are you excited for the WWE Survivor Series?

Just for the War Games match alone, with The OG Bloodline versus The New Bloodline, I am very pumped and excited. And then Bronson Reed and CM Punk were added to the mix. Paul Heyman is back. I am so ready for this show. Yes, I am excited.

Do you think Hulk Hogan had lust in his eyes for Miss Elizabeth or was Macho Man Randy Savage wrong about the Hulkster?

Hogan is a weasel and I think Savage was right. Hulk did have lust in his eyes for Liz. Of course, Hogan was married to now ex-wife Linda Hogan at the time, and to be honest, if I was stuck with Linda every day, I’d be happy to look at an attractive woman like Liz too. Hogan was only human after all. But yeah, Macho Man was right.

If you could make a movie based on the life of one wrestler, who would it be and why?

It wouldn’t be one wrestler, but instead, two top stars from the past. Mid-Atlantic legend Johnny Weaver and his wife, former AWA Women’s Champion Penny Banner. They had the classic love in the beginning, which turned into a turbulent marriage and eventual divorce. They had one daughter, Wendy, and both had amazing careers. I just think it would make an excellent story, be it a movie or book. It’s a story that needs to be told.

What are your thoughts on the Larry Zbyszko & Arn Anderson tag team, The Enforcers? Were you a fan?

I was a huge fan of Zbyszko and Arn as a tag team. Two tough guys with similar builds and styles. Both were just old-school tough and they knew how to wrestle with the best of them. Larry could draw the heat better than anyone and Arn could back it up. They weren’t a team nearly long enough, but in the time they were together, they were, at least in my opinion, the best tag team in WCW.

You’re making a reboot of the TV series Gunsmoke. Using WWE wrestlers, who would you cast as the four main characters Matt Dillon, Festus, The Doc, and Miss Kitty?

Off the top of my head, I’d do it like this. Marshall Dillon would be played by Roman Reigns. Festus? Put R-Trutn in the role. Doc? I’m thinking CM Punk. And Miss Kitty? That role says Bayley all the way.

If Orange Cassidy fails to turn back Jon Moxley and The Death Riders, who would you want to see step up and fight Moxley next?

Samoa Joe. No explanation is needed.

If Jim Cornette was forced to take two weeks off from his podcasts for whatever reason and recruited a guest host to fill in with Brian Last for those two weeks, who would you want the guest host to be?

It would have to be someone that Cornette respects and gets along with. That narrows down the choices a great deal. Dutch Mantell has his own podcasts going on so that eliminates The Dutch Man. Paul Heyman would be great and he and Cornette have a mutual respect, but Heyman’s WWE commitments probably wouldn’t allow him to do it. Maybe Stan Lane? I know that Stan isn’t involved in the business anymore, but he would be a good option. Ricky Morton would work well and be a strong possibility as well.

Whatever happened to former WCW star Lash Leroux?

After WCW closed, Lash worked for TNA for a while, where he suffered a neck injury. He retired from wrestling in 2006 and continued to make a living as a cartoonist and illustrator. He also works as a Pastor. Leroux now resides in Alabama.

Dr. Britt Baker versus Ivory. Who wins?

Look who you’re asking. Britt Baker is one of the Pillars of AEW and is a good wrestler. But how many WWE Women’s Championships has she held? How many GLOW Championships has she won? How many times has Britt Baker defeated The Fabulous Moolah? Or beaten Chyna? Ivory has done all of that, plus so much more. Ivory would win the match.
