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.

Does WWE have a Charlotte Flair problem?

I won’t go as far as saying Charlotte is a problem, but it does seem that she believes her press and the hype. There is nothing wrong with having an ego, but Charlotte’s seems larger than most, and WWE has to make adjustments to accommodate that.

Since Charlotte is getting booed, should WWE bring Tessa Blanchard in as her partner and embrace the hate?

I’d love to see this happen. Tessa and Charlotte as a team, given their family histories, would be incredible. If Charlotte is a heel, play into it and bring the only woman who has just as much heat in as her partner. That is money just waiting to be printed.

Who does Paul Heyman leave Wrestlemania 41 with? Roman Reigns, CM Punk, or Seth Rollins?

How about a returning Brock Lesnar, who comes in and lays waste to everyone in the match with Paul as his advocate? Okay, that won’t happen. Of the three, I think Heyman will walk out with CM Punk.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when seeing Kenny Omega?

I think about Kenny in Japan wrestling an eight-year-old girl. Yeah, he did that.

The fans were chanting ‘F**k You Swerve’ during WWE NXT on Tuesday night. Thoughts?

Wrestling fans like to make their opinion known. Booker T is a long-time part of the NXT product and the NXT fans protect their own. When Swerve made that stupid comment regarding Booker at the end of the AEW PPV, he opened himself up for a rebuttal from the NXT fans and they did exactly that.

Kelly Kelly has signed a new WWE Legend’s Deal. Is she a legend? Thoughts?

To me, Kelly had a good, short run with WWE. But would I consider her a legend? Name any memorable Kelly Kelly match or feud. She was an exotic dancer who couldn’t dance and didn’t expose anything. She was a character, not a wrestler, and her career only existed because she was young and attractive. So no, I would not consider her a legend.

Does Bad News Brown belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

Not so much for his WWE career, but for the entirety of his wrestling career, I would say that yes, he’s deserving of the honor. Far more deserving than Kelly Kelly, for example.

Bad News Brown versus Bad News Barrett. Who wins?

A good match and a good brawl with two legitimate tough guys. It’s a hard pick, but I’d go with Barrett on this one.

According to Fightful, Dory Funk Sr., Kamala the Ugandan Giant, and Ivan Koloff are the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame Legacy Inductees. Thoughts?

Apart from being the father of Terry and Dory FunkJr., I have to admit that I’m not very familiar with Dory Sr. But I’ve heard the name, and he’s worthy. As for Ivan and Kamala, it’s long overdue and very well deserved. Ivan should have been on the main stage of Inductees rather than the Legacy title, but it’s better than nothing. Three Legends and as of this upcoming weekend, three Hall of Famers.

Giulia is back! Do you want to see her challenge for the WWE NXT Women’s title?

Sure. Why not! She’s a top wrestler and it’ll be a great match. Book it, HBK.

Do you want to see Chris Jericho back in WWE?

Not particularly, but if Jericho was to return to a part-time role, maybe as an agent or member of Creative, that would be tolerable. Jericho deserves an eventual Hall of Fame induction, and then maybe a retirement angle, done properly WWE style. That would be fine. But as a full-time wrestler, I think I’d pass.

Should WWE pull the plug on Tony Hinchcliffe’s involvement in the WrestleMania roast?

Hinchcliffe is a comic who bombed trying to be a wrestling commentator. It’s not a big deal. He was out of his element. I’m sure that on stage, doing a roast, he’ll be in his element and do a fine job. WWE should let the man do his thing at the Roast and be happy.
