I’m Doug, your resident Guiding Light and Party Host. And this is the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. Do you have questions? I have the answers. Are you ready? Let’s roll.

If John Cena has The Rock in his corner at WrestleMania, what legend should Cody Rhodes have in his to counter The Rock’s presence?

From what I understand, Stone Cole Steve Austin has hinted at being there, and I’m sure that The Undertaker would be available to chokeslam The Rock into hell. My personal choice, given their history, is Arn Anderson. I’m sure that there is no lack of volunteers and legends available for that role.

What if Naomi didn’t attack Jade, and it was all Bianca, but she set up Naomi? Thoughts?

Bianca is gearing towards a heel turn, as evidenced on RAW Monday night, so this is entirely possible. Also, note that Bianca hasn’t acted concerned at all towards her partner, Naomi, since the attack by Jade. Something is not adding up here, and having Bianca come out eventually with an, “It was me, Jade! It was me all along!”, moment, would be a great way to solve the mystery.

R-Truth should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Agree or Disagree?

This one needs no explaining why. R-Truth is a wrestling legend. And yes, to see R-Truth come out at the Hall of Fame and welcome everyone to the Slammys would be great to see. Yes, he belongs.

John Cena and The Rock. Is there a third man?

Considering that Cena and The Rock are both part-timers at this point, having a third person who can be at wrestling every week makes sense. It probably won’t be revealed for a while, but yeah, I think there will end up being a third person.

Eva Marie versus Toni Storm. Who wins?

At least Toni can wrestle when she wants to. Eva had the look, but not much else going for her. Toni Storm wins.

Tony Schiavone says that he doesn’t think Hulk Hogan would be a world champion in today’s business. Thoughts?

This is a trick question because while Tony is probably right, and by today’s wrestling standards, Hogan isn’t good enough to be the top dog for a long period of time, we wouldn’t be where we are without Hogan and what he accomplished in the past. Without Hogan and Hulkamania, we wouldn’t have Roman Reigns, The Rock, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, etc. Like him or not, Hogan changed the business forever. He probably wouldn’t be the champ now, but he was the champ then, and that’s why we have the champs now that we do.

Tommy Dreamer believes that Logan Paul will one-day main event WrestleMania. Is Dreamer right?

This one is a no-brainer. Unless he gets injured or leaves wrestling, Logan Paul is a natural heel, great in the ring, and main event talent from Day One. Within the next three years, Logan Paul will be Mr. WrestleMania. Watch and see. Dreamer is 100% correct.

Rikishi names Naomi as the greatest Black female wrestler of all time. Thoughts?

Naomi is his daughter-in-law, so what else is Rikishi going to say? I’m sure that if Jacqueline, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Jazz, Sapphire, or hell, even Linda Miles, confronted him on that statement, he’d backtrack pretty fast. Rikishi is just putting over his family. Nothing more.

Rey Fenix has been removed from the AEW website and is now a free agent. So, WWE?

It’s just a matter of time, most likely within the next few weeks. The Lucha Brothers together in WWE? Yeah, it’s going to happen soon.

Do you think there’s any real chance Triple H, Pritchard, etc. were genuinely unaware of Vince’s dealings with Janel Grant? What kind of “smoking gun” evidence would it take for TKO to decide to just fully clean house, or are we at a point where nothing from the Vince era matters as long as profits are high?

While they probably knew that Vince had a girlfriend, I doubt that they knew the details of the relationship. Vince isn’t going to brag to his son-in-law about threesomes in the office and pooping on a woman’s head. And I’ve heard Cornette talk about Bruce Pritchard. Bruce is an ass-kisser, but he’s going to ignore and not want to know about Vince’s extracurricular activities. Most likely, every time Vince started talking, Bruce would excuse himself and leave the conversation. Or change the subject. For Triple H and Brother Love, I think selective hearing and blissful ignorance are the terms needed here. If TKO hasn’t terminated them yet, I think that they’re safe.

So, how about Grayson Waller and Austin Theory as the newest members of Judgment Day? Yes or no?

Dominik already travels with Waller and Theory on the road, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Dom, Liv, Rachel, Carlito, Waller, and Theory as the new Judgment Day? That sounds pretty appealing to me. And JD could join them when he’s able to come back from his injuries.
