It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug. It’s a Sunday morning, coming down. Let’s do this.

In your opinion, who is the worst WWE champion of all time?

This one is pretty easy. Can you think of a worse champion than The Great Khali?

When it comes to female wrestling, who is your all-time goat?

My all-time favorite is Lisa Moretti, aka Ivory. I think that everyone knows that. But the GOAT of Women’s Wrestling? I think Charlotte Flair fills that spot.

In your opinion, who should dethrone Gunther?

I feel that the Ring General, Gunther when he loses the World Championship, should lose it to Bron Breakker.

What are you most excited to see when Adam Copeland steps back into an AEW ring?

I’d like to see two things happen with Copeland. One would be a feud with Ricky Starks and the other? A reunion with Christian Cage.

Tessa Blanchard versus Asuka. Who wins?

Tessa Blanchard is damn good in that ring and it’s a shame that she’s not part of AEW or WWE and getting the recognition her in-ring talent deserves. But as good as she is, she’s not the Empress of Tomorrow. Asuka would win this match. It’d be a good fight, but my money would always be on Asuka because no one is ready for Asuka.

What do you think about AEW’s decision to extend Rey Fenix’s contract?

I can see the reasoning behind it and it’s smart business, but it’s still a dick move if Tony doesn’t use Fenix on AEW television. If Tony has plans to feature Fenix in regular matches and a storyline, then so be it. But if he’s just extending the contract to keep Fenix from going to WWE and has no plans to use him in a significant manner, this is a dick move and Tony is being an ass.

Are you excited about the AEW Continental Classic?

Truthfully, I had forgotten that it was even happening. So I guess that would be a no. I’m not excited.

I saw Kurt Angle has said AEW has offered him contracts to wrestle but he didn’t want to do it. Since he’s said that his last match with Baron Corbin was more meaningless than meaningful after Corbin was released, do you see Angle changing his mind about wrestling?

Unless it’s a financial offer that Kurt can not refuse, I can’t see him stepping back into the ring, be it with AEW or WWE, for another match. Kurt might not be happy with how things worked out with Baron Corbin, but from everything I’ve heard, I doubt Kurt would be physically able to have another match, even if he wanted to. I may be wrong on that, but I don’t think Kurt will change his mind and attempt to wrestle again.

Death Match: OJ Simpson versus Chris Benoit. Who wins?

Who sent this question? And why am I answering it? OJ was a great football star and had unique methods to slash his opponents, but Benoit could be pretty ruthless himself. I guess the winner gets a White Bronco. I’d have OJ get the win because he, at least, was found not guilty by a Jury. All Benoit managed to do was embarrass the business and die.

Do you like Survivor Series being the home of War Games or traditional Survivor Series elimination-style matches?

The Men’s War Games match last night was awesome and I kind of enjoy seeing War Games brought back for the big stories. But the Survivor Series made its name with the Elimination style matches by the different teams. I’d love to see WWE use a combination of both types of matches for the Survivor Series. Maybe have a War Games match as the main event and the rest of the show, use a combination of traditional Survivor Series matches, and maybe a championship title defense as well. Mix things up and it would make for a far better event.
