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

Is Roman Reigns in the goat conversation? Or not yet?

I think, over the past four years, Roman has proven himself. He may or may not be the greatest. That’s based on speculation and opinion. But Roman is certainly in the argument.

What was the absolute WORST gimmick in wrestling history?

Bastion Booger? The Gobbly Gooker? There are so many to choose from. But the one that stands out most for me? Chavo Guerrero Jr. as Kerwin White.

Dominik gave Chad Gable a name to help him with his Luchador problem. Who do you think that name is?

I think the solution to Gable’s Penta problem is a man who feuded with Penta in the past and has a name associated with the Dark Arts, as referenced by Gable as he walked off after speaking to Dominik. It’s obviously Allastair Black.

Who do you want to see from NXT in the Men’s WWE Royal Rumble?

Wes Lee, All Ego Ethan Page, and Oba Femi are my choices to represent NXT at the Royal Rumble.

Do you think CM Punk’s comments about Hulk Hogan were unnecessary, or do you believe they added to the entertainment value of his promo?

I think it was Punk being CM Punk. Allegedly, the Hogan comments were not scripted and came from Punk himself, but no one in WWE management seemed to mind. It was for the sake of entertainment. Nothing more.

Which NXT talent do you want to see in the Women’s Royal Rumble?

Giulia, Cora Jade, and Nikkita Lyons would be my choices for NXT representation in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.

Give your honest opinion of Tessa Blanchard.

A very talented female wrestler with all the tools to be a major star. But unfortunately, she also had an ego and a lot of baggage from the past. If she can find a way to bury the past discrepancies, she can easily be on the level of women like Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, and Asuka in the eyes of most fans. She is that good in the ring. She just needs to bury that past.

Should WWE bring back Elias for another run, or is his time in WWE over for good?

Elias had a good run, but his time in WWE has passed. Save him for the nostalgic events and leave him be.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) versus The Hardys (Matt & Jeff). Who wins?

This would be a very good match and now, with the WWE and TNA doing business together, it could very well happen. I’d like to see it. Maybe have the New Day challenge Matt & Jeff for the TNA Tag Team Championship? It would rock for sure. As to who wins, I’m pulling for Kofi and Woods on this one.

What are 5 potential “dream matches” you’d like to see for Penta in WWE?

Based on the two matches he’s had so far, with Chad Gable and Pete Dunne, both of which were damn good, I’d say for the next five opponents, how about Austin Theory, Angel Garza, Finn Balor, Kofi Kingston, and Wes Lee.
