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.

Bam Bam Bigelow versus The Great Muta. Who wins?

Yes, this would qualify as a dream match. I don’t think these men ever crossed paths. Bigelow has the size advantage, but Muta is Muta with the face paint and the mist. An instant classic. I think Muta would use the mist and get a win.

Rank these wrestlers from 1-5 (Best to worst): Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, CM Punk, Randy Savage, and Chris Jericho.

From best to worst, I’d go CM Punk, Randy Savage, Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, and Hogan.

Congratulations to The Rock, he said he would finish Cody’s story, I’m pretty sure he just did. Do you think Cody should call Tony and ask to come back? Cody is now a complete joke.

It will be rough to reestablish Cody as the top guy again, but I have faith in WWE and Triple H. One good story and feud will put Cody right back among the top of the roster. I don’t think there is any reason to call Tony up or even think about returning to AEW.

Who do you think we’ll see in WWE first? Dr. Britt Baker or Tessa Blanchard?

Tessa is already in TNA and doing a great job of redeeming herself. I think WWE has its eyes on her and is paying close attention. I don’t think Britt Baker is even on the radar right now.

WWE Evolution 2 will seemingly take place on the same day as AEW All In in Texas. Do you think this is deliberate or coincidental?

If what I’m reading is correct, WWE will have Saturday Night’s Main Event on Saturday and Evolution on Sunday. Do I think this is deliberate? No, I think this is just an accidental coincidence. WWE would never do something like that.

Are you going to watch Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff’s new free-style pro wrestling company?

If I happen to stumble across it on TV or a streaming network, I’ll probably watch it for a few minutes and check things out. I already have too much between WWE, NXT, Evolve, and the PLEs to watch, plus Shameless, the UK version, so it’s hard to fit anything else into my schedule.

Do you remember a team in WCW called The Awesome Kongs? What are your thoughts and memories of this team?

I remember them very well. Even the addition of Harley Race as their manager couldn’t help these two fat, untalented slobs. They had no charisma or presence and only lasted a few months in WCW. Yes, they were that bad.

Who do you want to see end up in this year’s MITB ladder matches?

Most likely, it’ll be six wrestlers in each MITB match, with three from RAW and three from SmackDown. For the men, I’d like to see Finn Balor, Austin Theory, Karrion Kross, LA Knight, Jeff Cobb, and Jimmy Uso. For the women, I’d want to see Chelsea Green, Jade Cargill, Naomi, Bayley, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez. As for the winners, I want Austin Theory to win the Men’s briefcase, while Chelsea Green wins the Women’s contract.

Joe Hendry thinks a match with John Cena is possible. Do you agree?

I’d like to see it happen, and it would be a great match for Hendry, Cena, WWE, and TNA. I think it’s possible.

Rhea Ripley versus Chyna versus Amazing Kong versus Victoria. Who wins?

It’s a tough call here as all of these women are wrestling legends and among the best of their era. Chyna wouldn’t win because she’s all power and wasn’t actually a great wrestler. The same goes for Victoria, who was a fantastic character, but not truly a great in-ring performer. So, we have either Rhea or Awesome Kong. I love Rhea, and she is a superstar in every sense of the word. But the winner? Awesome Kong.
