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.

Dusty Rhodes versus The Rock. Who wins?

Dusty in his prime versus The Rock in his prime, this match would have fans going, “Rock versus Hogan Who?”. It wouldn’t be a great technical match, but the energy would be amazing. As for the end, The Rock might be the Great One, but nothing beats the American Dream. Dusty wins.

R-Truth was actually offered a new deal from WWE but turned it down. Thoughts?

Picture this. You’ve been with a company for seventeen years. You are easily among the top employees. And they ask you to take a substantial pay cut to keep your job, while at the same time, bragging about record sales and how great business has been. Who wouldn’t be offended by that? If this is true, who can blame R-Truth? TKO disrespected him and this is so damn wrong. I wouldn’t stay either.

WWE didn’t allow any talent to wear R-Truth shirts on this week’s episode of RAW following his release announcement. Thoughts?

They, WWE, know that they screwed up and are wrong. They also muted the crowd noise every time that a “We Want Truth” chant started. They are just trying to bury this and sweep it under the rug.

Elayna Black (Cora Jade) says she’d love to go back to AEW, and also said she’d enjoy TNA, but they’re too close to WWE right now. Thoughts?

Her feelings are hurt for being released by WWE, and now she’s sucking up to AEW, hoping for a job. Nothing more.

It has officially been one year since Finn Balor won a singles match on WWE TV. Do you want to see him dethrone Dominik Mysterio for the IC Title?

Dethrone Dom? Nope. I’d like to see Dom hold the IC title and remain a heel, for a long time. But if Finn & JD were to go after The New Day and the tag team titles, I wouldn’t mind. And if by some chance, we were to see a Finn Balor versus Jey Uso feud, I wouldn’t mind seeing that either.

Do you think WWE should re-sign AJ Styles for another run? Or is it time for The Phenomenal One to explore other options?

If I recall correctly, AJ mentioned during his last contract negotiations with WWE that he expected that to be his last full-time contract in wrestling. But, if WWE were to give him another three or so years, and maybe a Legend’s Deal too, I wouldn’t object in the slightest.

What do you think of Ric Flair’s comments about Jim Ross?

Ric Flair easily has the thinnest skin in professional wrestling. He was a great wrestler, but he’s a shit of a human being and person. Ric needs to shut up, put down the bottle, and just go away somewhere.

Would you like to see Taylor Swift show up at a major WWE event?

Nope. I’d rather see someone who is talented, entertaining, and actually loves wrestling, a true fan. Swift doesn’t qualify as any of those.

Do you agree with Bully Ray? Is WWE helping TNA thrive while AEW missed the mark?

When AEW and TNA were working together, did it help TNA gain an audience or draw new fans? Nope. With WWE, everything is on the rise. So yes, Bully Ray is right.

What did you think of the Santina Marella character? Would you like to see it brought back?

Santino said in a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet that Santina was originally for one night only and that he doesn’t like doing the character. Let it remain a cherished memory and stay in the past, where it belongs. No Santina, please.
