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.

During Liv’s injury, how would you feel if Vickie Guerrero came back to manage Dominik?

That would be interesting, but I don’t think it would work in today’s WWE. And Dom already has Judgment Day, so why would he need Vickie? A backstage face-to-face with Dom and Vickie would be fun, but that’s about it.

Do you think the dreaded “Battle of the Brand” idea at Survivor Series could be reborn as NXT/AAA vs main roster WWE?

I like that idea, and it would make things far more interesting. Hell, add TNA to the mix as well. We’d have a true “Forbidden Door”. I would love to see it.

With R-Truth becoming more serious, and even Tozawa to an extent, who will be the next person on the roster to tickle the funny bone of the fans?

Say his name, and he appears. Mr. Iguana.

SmackDown is going back to two hours soon. Thoughts?

Good. I don’t really mind the three hours, but two hours is a lot easier to consume in one setting.

What do you think about Tony Khan’s claim that AEW’s cable audience has increased?

He keeps saying it, but the actual numbers from the television ratings don’t agree. I’m not saying that he’s lying, but he might be slightly delusional or reading them wrong.

Does WWE Evolve need tag team champions?

Eventually, yes, but there is no need to rush things. Swipe Right isn’t going anywhere.

Where is Ludwig Kaiser?

In Charlotte Flair’s DMs? I don’t know. He’s still listed on the roster for RAW, and I haven’t heard of any injuries. My guess is the old ‘creative has nothing for you’ excuse. He’s probably sitting backstage, waiting for Tiffany Stratton to wrap up her night each week.

Gail Kim was spotted backstage at NXT. Thoughts?

Hopefully, this is a feeling-out process, and we see Gail come to WWE or NXT to help with creative or work as an agent. She was the power behind the scenes for the TNA Knockouts for so long, she would make a valuable addition to the WWE family. Let’s hope that’s the reason.

Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Bryce Donovan, aka The Vanity Project w/ Zayda Steel versus Alan Angels, Fuego Del Sol, Aaron Solo, and Sammy Guevera, aka The VLOG Crew w/ Tay Melo. Who wins?

This would be so fun to see happen. I’m a huge fan of the Sammy Guevera VLOG, and to see the crew back together for anything, but especially a match, would be awesome. And The Vanity Project is easily the best part of WWE Evolve each week. This group is going to be big one day. And what a match. Right now, my money would be on the VLOG Crew to take the win. Five years from now, it might be another story, but let’s go with the VLOG Crew, after a run-in by Marko Stunt for a distraction, to get the win.

According to Bubba the Love Sponge, Hulk Hogan was in critical condition and “On his deathbed” in a Tampa, Florida hospital. These rumors were later proven to be untrue. Thoughts?

Bubba the Love Sponge is talking about Hulk Hogan? Given the history between these guys, Bubba has no credibility at all about anything Hogan. And he was wrong. Damn, I’d love to see Awesome Kong beat him up again.
