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

Jesse Ventura claims he would have won the Presidential Election if he had run against President Trump. Thoughts?

I love Jesse Ventura, but I think he’s overestimating his support among the masses. Even Kamala would have more support than The Body. Ventura’s days of being an important political figure are long over. Someone needs to tell Jesse.

If you could, would you change the decision of having the Undertaker’s streak end to Brock?

Nope. I would leave things exactly as they happened. It was the right call for that time.

Cody Rhodes versus Kevin Owens is the best storyline on SmackDown right now. Do you agree?

It’s very intriguing and damn good, but with the Bloodline stuff still going on, plus the New Day split, the DIY Heel Turn, Liv versus Rhea, and the who attacked Jade stuff is happening too. There are a ton of good stories happening and the best one is subjective and open to discussion.

Which wrestler do you want to see turn heel in 2025?

I’d like to see LA Knight turn heel. It might make him interesting.

Which wrestler do you want to see turn face in 2025?

Dominik Mysterio. When he eventually does turn face, the pop is going to be huge. He’s the most over heel in WWE, but the fans want to cheer him. He’s the wrestler that everyone loves to hate, but when he finally does the right thing, they’ll love him even more.

DIY, aka Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa, turned heel and defeated the MCMGs for the World Tag Team Titles last night on Smackdown. Thoughts?

That was awesome. The way they worked it, teasing a breakup with DIY before they both turned and suckered the MCMG’sto win the title. I never saw it coming. It was great.

Do you think WWE could pull off the Nexus again in modern-day wrestling under Triple H’s watch?

Use David Otunga as the manager, with Heath Slater, PJ Black (Justin Gabriel), Darren Young, and Matt Tarver as the wrestlers. It would be quite an impressive group and with the changes in WWE under the auspices of Triple H, they could make quite an impact. I’d like to see it happen.

What do you think about Matt Cardona stepping into the AEW spotlight? Do you want to see him more in AEW?

Matt Cardona is always ready and can show up anywhere, be it TNA, GCW, NWA, and now ROH. I think this is an excellent move by AEW and for Matt Cardona. I’d love to see Matt show up more often in AEW. I’d rather see him in WWE, but AEW works too.

Do you think Bianca Belair should be considered a suspect for the Jade Cargill attack?

Unless she has an alibi available, Bianca should be the top The timing is kind of suspect for it to be Bianca, but it makes the most sense unless it’s a returning Charlotte Flair or Becky Lynch that takes the blame. No, it’s Bianca.

You should be able to “cash in” the United States title and intercontinental titles for a Universal/World heavyweight title match. Not the same way as an MITB cash-in, but a fair fully set-up match for the title. But by doing so you vacate your title, win or lose. Thoughts?

That would make for an interesting twist and would really shake things up in WWE. It’s a good idea and I think it would get over quite well with the WWE fans. Good thinking, my friend. I like it.

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