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.

Pat McAfee has missed the past three episodes of RAW. Have you missed him?

McAfee says that WWE gave him some time off to rest because, with a daily show on ESPN, a new family, and the WWE show, he was getting tired and burned out. I can’t blame him for that. That would be a rough schedule and life for anyone. I haven’t really missed him though on RAW. McAfee adds unpredictability and energy to WWE. But Wade Barrett and now, Corey Graves, are much better at doing the color commentary and analysis. McAfee is too important to lose, but maybe every week is too much. Save Pat for the PLEs and Saturday Night Main Event. But I’d prefer to see Graves back in that spot on RAW every Monday.

Jade looks like a star, acts like a star, and is extremely athletic, yet somehow remains as smooth as Khali in the ring. Will she be a long-time star or is she just a flash-in-the-pan?

Jade is all the flash, as you said, but she’s hit a wall in getting better in the ring. She’s smoke and mirrors and little else. She’s come a long way since her AEW days, but unless she improves, I’ll give her three more years at the most.

Who do you have winning? Jade Cargill or Asuka?

I want Asuka to win, but I suspect it will be Cargill.

Nixon Newell (Tegan Nox) is starting an OnlyFans account. Thoughts?

She’s not getting the bookings she was expecting, so instead, she’s going for the easy money. Cash in on her limited name and reputation to appeal to the crowd on OnlyFans. I don’t blame her, and short term, it makes the most sense. But any credibility she has as an athlete or wrestler is taking a huge dip because of this. Tegan is doing what she feels she needs to do. More power to her.

Would you want to see Cardi B mix it up with Chelsea Green and The Secret Hervice?

I don’t want to see Cardi B. mix it up with anyone in WWE or professional wrestling. She’s a B-rated rapper and little more in my opinion. I know she’s the official host of SummerSlam, but I don’t want to see it or her. Maybe if she works an angle with the Secret Hervice, Piper will accidentally bust her in the mouth. One can only hope.

Should WWE keep pushing forward with Night of Champions now that the ceasefire is in place, or do you still think it’s too risky?

The WWE talents are already in Saudi Arabia so Night of Champions and SmackDown will proceed as scheduled. I think WWE should have canceled and rescheduled. It’s not worth the risk, but TKO thinks otherwise.

Is Ric Flair essentially a true-to-life Frank Gallagher?

It’s an interesting comparison, but I can see the parallels. And it fits far too well. So, does that make Charlotte into Fiona? Hmmmm.

Rikishi says he wouldn’t consider Charlotte Flair as one of the greats – he says Jacqueline, Ivory, and Jazz were superior wrestlers. Thoughts?

Jacqueline, Ivory, and Jazz are legends and icons, who all made a strong impact on professional wrestling. No one is denying that. But Charlotte Flair has done it as well. In the ring, she’s one of the best. Rikishi is just running off at the mouth and probably mad at Ric Flair for something so he takes it out on Charlotte.

Are you a Mick Foley fan?

The wrestler? To a point, yes. I prefer the Cactus Jack character over the other personalities of Mrs. Foley’s baby boy. The writer and the man? Absolutely. Foley is one of the real ones and a good dude. Yes, I’m a fan.

Flair mocks JR’s cancer announcement and then has a skin cancer reoccurrence, is this karma?

Karma can be a spiteful old bitty at times. Woooo.
