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.

Harley Cameron is reportedly injured and will be taking time off from AEW. Thoughts?

I hate to see anyone getting injured, but this will at least give Harley more time to play with her puppets. Here’s to a speedy and painless recovery and quick return.

Do you think Ricky Starks is ready for the main roster, or should he have stayed in NXT a little longer?

I think he’s better off to stay with NXT for a while longer. If he’s brought to the main roster, which is already so bloated with talent, I see a feud with Grayson Waller or maybe a tag team with R-Truth against Pretty Deadly in his immediate future. I hope not, but that’s what I feel will happen. Stay in NXT and have a run with the NXT title first is what I would suggest.

Do you think Scarlett Bordeaux could go toe-to-toe with top talents like Rhea Ripley or even Trish Stratus?

If she was given the opportunity more often, I think she’d do well in the ring and be a solid wrestler and performer.

What’s your take on WWE changing names mid-career? Should talent have full control over their on-screen identities?

The name changes are a necessary evil, for when a wrestler changes promotions or a character changes and reinvents themselves. Talent should have a say, but full control? We can look at AEW and see how well that works. Nope to that.

Are you looking forward to the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event?

I am looking forward to it. From the matches advertised thus far, it looks like it will be a solid show.

Natalya recently said that storytelling matters more than wins & losses in wrestling. Agree or disagree?

I agree 100%. The story is what matters. The matches are just the means to the end.

Would you even want Vince McMahon back in control of WWE if he found a way to pull it off? Or is the company better off with TKO calling the shots?

While there are many things about TKO that I don’t like, like their obvious greed, the WWE is in far better hands under their leadership than it would be with Vince at this point. Vince deserves credit for creating WWE and has a strong legacy, but the baggage he’s picked up would overshadow anything that he could try and do at this point. Triple H calling the shots creatively, while TKO pays the bills is easily the best place for WWE right now.

Do you think Kamille will ever return to AEW at this rate or is it far too late now?

Why should she return to AEW? They’ve already proven that they have no idea how to use her properly and wasted several years of an otherwise good career. If there is a future in pro wrestling for Kamille, AEW is not the place for it.

Do you think WWE should have given Elektra Lopez more time to develop as an in-ring competitor?

Elektra has had the same chances and opportunities as every other person on the WWE roster. WWE is the big time and it’s often either sink or swim. She had plenty of chances, but things just didn’t work out. That’s not WWE’s fault. It’s just how things go sometimes.

Do you think Chelsea Green rocking a protective mask could boost her on-screen persona?

It just gives Chelsea one more thing to use as part of her character and gimmick. She’ll take the mask, use it as a prop, get it over, and come out even better for it because that’s what Chelsea does.
