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.

Gunther versus Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Who wins?

Just imagine the chops back and forth in this match. Even Wahoo McDaniel would be impressed. This match would be stiff and brutal to watch, but the fans wouldn’t turn away. I think Gunther would win, but just barely.

Ricky Saints is the new NXT North American Champion. Thoughts?

Three matches into his WWE/NXT career and Starks is already a champion. Yes, AEW dropped the ball and NXT is doing Ricky right. Congratulations to the new Champion.

Rusev was spotted at WWE HQ and has reportedly signed with the company again. Thoughts?

It must be Rusev Day. This is good news and I’m excited to see the former Bulgarian Brute back in action in WWE. Let’s say it together. Rusev Crush!

Do you think WWE is concerned that Pat McAfee could say something on Raw that is similar to what he said about that girl in Mississippi?

I’m sure that WWE management and McAfee have had a conversation regarding what can and can’t be talked about. Michael Cole is there with Pat to run interference and cut Pat off if he’s going too far. I doubt that WWE is too worried.

Do any wrestlers have you blocked on X or social media?

Tammy Sytch, aka WWE Hall of Famer Sunny and Convicted Killer currently residing in prison, blocked me after I made a joke about going to jail after one of her numerous DWI charges. And noted wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp has me blocked after I hurt his ego during a Twitter exchange. But they’re the only two wrestling-related persons who couldn’t handle my sarcasm.

Yes or no. The WWE Anonymous Raw GM was one of the lamest stories in WWE history?

It lasted forever and was totally stupid. Yes.

Would you want to see WWE bring a major PLE to Mexico in 2026?

That seems to be almost a must, given the large Latin fanbase of WWE, plus the hot international market. Remember the great response that WWE had in Puerto Rico a few years ago? Mexico City would be even hotter, louder, and better. Let’s hope that WWE takes notice and makes that trip South of the Border.

Should WWE call Aiden English for a complete Rusev Day comeback?

I talked about this a few days ago and now, as then, my response would be a huge yes. It can’t be Rusev Day without the proper entrance and full effect.

Do you want to see Mercedes Mone vs. Athena?

Not especially, but considering they’re the two biggest woman stars in AEW and ROH at the moment, it’s inevitable. And it may even be a good match. If it was to happen, I’d watch for sure. It’s just not high on my wish list.
