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.

Solo Sikoa, what has happened to him? He is in the biggest match on the Netflix debut and doesn’t even make WrestleMania.

Solo has taken a step back while the focus has moved to Jacob Fatu, but he’s a talent that everyone needs to keep an eye on. Just when you think he’s an afterthought, he’s ready to pop up and create havoc. I’m sure that he’ll do something very soon to make an impact and remind everyone why he was the Enforcer for The Bloodline for so long.

Would you like to see Bayley in AEW?

AEW wouldn’t know how to use Bayley properly and would waste her name and talents. I want to see Bayley do what is best for Bayley, but in my opinion, that would be WWE. One doesn’t leave being a respected legend to become an afterthought, and leaving WWE for AEW would be doing exactly that.

Both The Undertaker and Bully Ray have spoken about wrestlers wearing jewelry, earrings, and necklaces in the ring and how much they don’t like it. How do you feel about it?

If a person is wearing a necklace, why not use it to choke them? If a person is wearing an earring or nose-ring, why not rip it out? What Bully and Undertaker are saying is just common sense. Wearing that stuff while wrestling is just exposing the business and being ignorant. Bully and Undertaker are 100% correct.

It’s been announced that Steve Mongo McMichael is being placed in Hospice care. Thoughts?

Mongo has fought the good fight, but it appears the end might be near. Prayers and condolences to the family, and much love & respect to the former WCW United States Champion.

Dirty Dom Mysterio versus Matt Cardona. Who wins?

Matt would dominate most of the match until Judgment Day gets involved. A great match with two true legends, but the numbers game says that Dirty Dom would win.

AEW is bringing Master P to Dynamite. Thoughts?

This clown hasn’t been Master P in about thirty years. He hasn’t been relevant in nearly the same amount of time. I wonder if he’ll bring back the No Limit Soldiers? I wonder if anyone cares? I know that I sure as hell don’t.

According to Red Velvet, “Ring of Honor is not the B show!” Thoughts?

That is what she says, and she’s right. Calling the current ROH product a B-show would be a compliment and a step up from what it currently represents. They’re a promotion in name only, with no television, no solo-promoted events, and take a backseat to AEW every week. No, it’s not a B-show. More like a D-show at best.

Alan Angels is now a free agent. His contract with TNA has expired. What’s next for Angels?

I hate that Angels is no longer a part of TNA, but hopefully, WWE will take notice and reach out to hold a conversation. Angels is a good wrestler, a good talker, and has that special “it” in my opinion. He would make a welcome addition to any roster and any promotion. Angels may no longer be with TNA, but I think the future looks very bright and we’ve only begun to hear from this talented dude.

What did you think of Jacob Fatu’s big win at WrestleMania? Do you think he’s just getting started in WWE?

I think Fatu’s win at Mania was a great beginning to a long and fruitful career in WWE, with many championships to come. The Era of the Samoan Werewolf has only begun.

Do you think Bryan Danielson still has one more match left in him?

I’m sure that Danielson thinks that he does, and maybe Tony Khan agrees, but for the long-term implications for his body, his family, and his future, I would advise against another match. I think we’re more likely to see Flair and Hogan one more time than a match by Danielson, where he can fully go and be the true American Dragon. It would only destroy his legacy. Don’t do it, Dragon.
