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.

Push one, fire one, create a tag team, and one stays the same: Greg Valentine, Abdullah the Butcher, Junkyard Dog, Jimmy Valiant, and Terry Funk.

I’d push Terry Funk. I’d fire Abdullah the Butcher. The tag team would be JYD and Jimmy Valiant. And I’d leave The Hammer, Greg Valentine, alone.

Do you see Queen Amanata as a future World Champion?

As she’s currently booked in AEW, and based on what I’ve seen her do inside the ring, my answer would be no.

Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match: Ole & Gene Anderson versus The Road Warriors versus Harlem Heat versus The Motor City Machine Guns versus The Usos versus The Rock & Roll Express. Who wins?

Talk about chaos and wild times. Six of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history, all trapped together inside that giant steel deathtrap. It’s a tough call, but I think Harlem Heat, Stevie Ray & Booker T, would win.

Zelina Vega defeated Chelsea Green to capture the Women’s United States Championship. Thoughts?

While I hate to see the always-incredible Chelsea Green lose the title, I’m sure that she’ll hold it again soon. As for Zelina, WWE made a good choice. She’s talented and charismatic, and the fans love her. I’m happy for Zelina, and here’s to an exciting and fruitful run as champion.

Should WWE reach out and hire Danhausen?

I just don’t see Danhausen fitting in well as part of the WWE roster. He’s too nice and too evil. I may be wrong, but Danhausen and WWE just seem like too odd a couple to make it work.

Nikita Koloff versus Gunther. Who wins?

It’s a tough call, but I think the Ring General would come out with the win over the Russian Nightmare.

Aleister Black is back in WWE. Thoughts?

And hopefully, this run will go better than his previous attempts in the WWE. Black is a talented wrestler and I’m glad to see him back and being given another opportunity. Now, we just have to see what he can do with it.

Are we still expecting John Cena to turn back babyface before the end of 2025?

Cena still gets as many cheers as boos, and the heel turn has been lackluster at best. He may or may not be acting as a babyface when the year, and his career, ends, but he’ll be getting cheered regardless.

Does Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

With all due respect to Mongo, he was a football legend and a good Horseman, but his in-ring career as a wrestler was not a highlight of his life or career. I would say no about any induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

If you were told to pick five celebrities for induction into the Celebrity Wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, who would you pick? And why?

Cyndi Lauper is a no-brainer. The whole rock & wrestling connection revolved around her. My other four picks would be Regis Philbin, Steve Allen, Shaquille O’Neal, and Alice Cooper. Regis and Allen for their endless promotion and love of wrestling on their shows when it wasn’t cool. Shaquille for the million different appearances he’s made inside that ring over the years, and Alice Cooper for his role in Jake Robert’s corner at WrestleMania 3.
