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 Taz. Who wins?

Taz is a tough guy and good with the various suplexes, but Gunther has earned the nickname, the Ring General. Taz would put up a good fight, but the size of Gunther would chop him down accordingly. Gunther wins.

If you could pick one to return to the WWE, who would it be? AJ Lee, Brock Lesnar, Dean Ambrose, or Edge.

While I’d love to see AJ Lee make a cameo and return to fight by CM Punk’s side at some point, there is only one real choice here. And that would be The Beast, Brock Lesnar.

Who wins in their prime? Randy Orton, CM Punk, Triple H, or John Cena.

This would be a good and fun match. The winner? Super Cena, of course.

Would you be surprised if WWE just quietly dropped the Wyatt Sicks gimmick?

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest, and to be honest, I’m kind of expecting to see that happen. It’s a shame because the talent and potential for something really big is there, but any moment they may have had has been lost, and it’s hard to see WWE making it work at this point.

Do you think Logan Paul should have been fired in the latest rounds of WWE cuts?

The majority of the talent that was released was not being used regularly, and honestly, didn’t seem to have much potential for a strong future in WWE. Logan Paul, love him or hate him, draws attention, generates a reaction, and comes across as a star. Logan Paul means money, and so long as he continues to produce as he has, I don’t think he has anything to worry about in terms of employment with the WWE.

How would you rank the ROH Tag Team Champions, The Sons of Texas, Dustin Rhodes, and Sammy Guevara as a tag team?

Sammy and Dustin, in my opinion, were randomly thrown together as a team to give them something to do and keep them busy. They do seem to work well together as a team, but they come across to me as two guys just making the best of a bad situation. They’re not a bad team, but I just think that AEW could find other ways, better ways, to use both men.

Describe Ricochet using only one word.

Dweeb!

Which wrestling organization sparked your interest in wrestling?

I grew up in and still currently live in North Carolina, so the answer is obvious. Jim Crockett Promotions and the Mid-Atlantic territory.

EVOLVE’s Keanu Carver says Jacob Fatu is “scared” of him. Thoughts?

Say that to Jacob Fatu’s face, and let’s see what happens. I don’t think Fatu is scared of anyone, except maybe his Mama.

Jasper Troy & Tyra Mae Steele were announced as the winners of Season One of WWE LFG. Thoughts?

I’ve only watched highlights of the LFG show, so I can’t really make an informed assessment of Troy & Steele. My initial reaction to this news was that there were a few others that stood out to me more, but I didn’t see enough to say if this was the right call or not. I’ll trust the WWE and the legends on the show. They would know better than I.

You’re given a sizable budget and a PPV spot to do a new Heroes of Wrestling PPV. Who are your announcers and interviewers, and what are the matches? You’re booking nine matches for the event, but you can not use anyone under contract to WWE, AEW, or TNA.

I remember the Heroes of Wrestling PPV, although I’ve tried to forget that disaster of a show. Unlike that prior showcase of bad matches and unprofessional behavior, I’d want Heroes of Wrestling II to be a solid and good show, especially if my name’s attached to it in any way. So, let’s book a PPV event. For my announcers, I’d try to secure Joey Styles and Jim Cornette to call the action. For the backstage interviews, let’s use Lisa Moretti (Ivory), The Fallen Artist, Derk Douglas, and Missy Hyatt. The ring announcer would be Dave Penzer. And now, let’s figure out some matches.

The main event would be Matt Cardona versus Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin). Other matches would be Raj Dhesi (Jinder Mahal) versus Matt Riddle, Dakota Kai & Sonya Deville versus Leyla Hirsch & Isla Dawn, Trevor Lee versus Alan Angels, Authors Of Pain (Akam and Rezar) versus The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson), Heath Slater & Sammy Love versus Nathan Cross & HangTyme, Michael Youngblood versus Gangrel, Danhausen versus Cham Pain, and Shayna Baszler versus Saraya.
