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.

Allegedly, there are internal discussions within WWE about adding new members to the Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman faction. Who should they add?

From what I’ve seen, the two people they’re looking at are Ricky Saints and Ethan Page. And you know what? That works for me.

What are your thoughts on Brody King wearing an Abolish ICE shirt during the AEW Grand Slam in Mexico?

If that’s what he wants to wear, that’s his right. It’s not professional and seems like cheap heat to me, kissing up and trying to get a reaction and some publicity, but that’s his right to do so.

Marko Stunt versus Mr. Iguana. Who wins?

I like Marko, but this one goes to the Lizard Man. Mr. Iguana wins.

Vince McMahon attempted to purchase a controlling stake in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Thoughts?

Vince is a billionaire who has too much money and too much free time on his hands. Vince was a known workaholic, known for his obsessive work habits while running WWE, and old habits die hard. The Bare Knuckle thing didn’t work out, but I’m sure he’ll keep trying to find something to invest in and manage. It’s in his blood.

Do you think Vince McMahon could still make a splash in wrestling if he bought TNA?

Anything that Vince does in wrestling is going to make a splash and be huge news. I wasn’t aware that TNA was for sale, but adding Vince would be major news. And it would spike the ratings and viewership for a while just for the curiosity factor. It would kill any relationship with WWE due to the baggage Vince’s name brings, plus advertisers would bail pretty quickly. It would definitely make a splash.

Mercedes Moné won the CMLL Women’s Championship during AEW Grand Slam Mexico, so now she’s Mercedes 6-Belts. Thoughts?

Congratulations to Mercedes. Now, let’s see her get out there, travel to all of the promotions for which she has a title, and defend the belts regularly. That’s where it matters in my opinion.

Do you think Goldberg can still hang in 2025—or is he overselling himself with this comeback talk?

If the match lasts more than 5 minutes, or if Gunther just doesn’t feel like carrying him, the much-hyped Goldberg versus Gunther match is going to suck ass. Goldberg is talking the talk, but I suspect he’s writing a check he won’t be able to cash. This will be all smoke & mirrors to protect Goldberg because I doubt he’s capable of doing it himself.

Do you think fans sometimes take the art of wrestling for granted? Or is criticism just part of the job?

Wrestling fans are very iffy and judgmental. These men and women in the ring are doing things 99% of us could never do, but we’re criticizing and second-guessing them. We take it for granted, and they tolerate it because it’s just part of the time.

Should LA Knight jump to Raw full-time—and is Netflix the perfect place for him to shine?

LA Knight has grown stale on SmackDown and a change of scenery might work wonders for his character. It sure as hell can’t hurt. Yeah!

Should WWE crown new Tag Team Champions or wait for Liv Morgan to recover?

We’re talking at least six months, so new champions need to be crowned. But in my opinion, WWE should do with Raquel Rodriguez exactly what they did with Bianca and Jade when Jade was ‘injured’. Naomi stepped in and took her spot. Raquel should be given the same option.
