Welcome to the show. It’s the only pro wrestling Q&A that matters. You have questions and I have answers. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug, your party host and Guiding Light. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Yes or no. Do you think Chris Benoit killed his family?

No, I don’t. I think that yes, Benoit and Nancy had problems. And yes, Benoit had some mental issues. But a friend of mine, whose opinion I respect a great deal, has looked into this case quite deeply, and too many things don’t make sense or add up. It was wrapped up too nicely, tidy, and quickly for my taste. We’ll probably never know the truth, but I don’t think Benoit is the one who killed Nancy and Daniel.

How do you all feel about Gail Kim possibly going to AEW?

I have no problems with that. She would be a great asset to the company and I’m sure could really help improve the wrestling in AEW, if they actually listen to her and give her a chance. I think she’d be better off and happier in WWE, but AEW is an option as well.

If you were Triple H for a Day, what’s the first thing you’d do?

I’d make a match and Austin Theory would pull an upset to win the Intercontinental Championship. Jim Cornette would be offered a Legend’s Deal, and I’d order that Cornette, The Midnight Express, and Demolition, including Brian Adams, be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

What would your reaction be if Charlotte Flair won the title from Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania?

I’d just nod, think to myself that it was a good match, and move on with my life. I fully expect that to happen and Charlotte to capture the WWE Women’s Championship from Tiffany. I’ll be more surprised if it doesn’t happen.

Who is your crush in WWE right now?

Right now, it would be Asuka and Austin Theory. They’re both sexy and have that charismatic it.

Do you think we see Big E ever wrestle in a WWE ring again?

WWE found a way to have Bret Hart wrestle after several strokes and had Mae Young, a woman in her ’80s, wrestling regularly at one point. A broken neck? It’s not that big a deal. We’ll see Big E in the ring again. I’m sure of it.

Do you think Eva Marie deserves another run in WWE?

She’s already had either two or three. I’ve lost count. I can’t see anything special that she brings to the table. I would say no.

Do you think WWE’s ticket prices are justified, or are they becoming too expensive for the average fan?

TKO is all about the money and they’ve gone crazy with the prices. It’s pure greed and nothing more.

Do you agree with Swerve Strickland calling out WWE’s treatment of Black talent? Or do you think the company’s done enough?

Swerve is just complaining because he was given the big breaks and catered to. Look at the WWE roster. How many members of that roster, both men and women, are people of color? Not just black, but Asian, Latino, Samoan, and European as well. How many of them are complaining? Only Swerve and that’s after he was terminated. The man is just a joke, trying to get some press and stir the pot. Nothing more.

Would you want to see Mike Tyson back in a WWE ring?

Mike Tyson might not want to come back to WWE. After all, he’s black and Swerve Strickland says that WWE doesn’t treat black people well. Yeah, right. WWE doesn’t need Mike Tyson right now, but if he was to do some appearances or cameos, I would never say no. After all, it’s Mike Tyson. ‘Nuff said!
