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.

Grayson Waller, aka Big G, with the New Day. Yes or no?

I like this idea. Waller is a damn good wrestler, and he’s just goofy enough to fit in with Kofi and Xavier. And maybe this will add some energy and fire to the New Day story. I’m happy to see this happen and curious to see where it goes.

The Rock & Roll Express versus The New Day. Who wins?

I’m guessing we’re talking about the current incarnation of New Day with Woods & Kofi. This would be a good match and fun to see. And the winners? Ricky and Robert, of course.

Who were the NWA, AWA, and WWF Champions when you were 10 years old? And who would win a triple-threat match between the three champions?

The NWA Champion when I turned 10 was Terry Funk. The AWA Champion was Nick Bockwinkel. And the WWF Champion was Bruno Sammartino. And if these three fought in a triple-threat, I’ll go with Bruno as the obvious winner.

Eric Bischoff believes TNA can surpass AEW as the No. 2 promotion in professional wrestling within the next year. Is Bischoff right?

I’ve been saying this for a while. If TNA can get a good deal on a network, cable channel, or streaming service, they’re moving up to the secondary spot. Eric is 100% correct.

1-5, what is your hype meter for CM Punk vs Gunther at SummerSlam?

On the scale of 1-5, I’m at a 3 right now, but it’s getting higher as we get closer to the actual match.

Moose has announced that he is stepping away from TNA for a while to focus on his health and determine his next move. Thoughts?

Moose needs to recharge the batteries and heal up a bit, so he’s taking time off for a bit. That sounds like a plan. Good for Moose.

Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff’s Real American Freestyle has signed a streaming deal with FOX Nation. Thoughts?

The Real American gimmick goes well with Fox Nation, and this kind of makes sense. I was never expecting to see FOX Nation hosting a wrestling program, but wrestling is hot right now and I guess they’re just jumping on the bandwagon.

Ron Killings, also known as R-Truth, aims to form a faction with Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, dubbed The Terror Triplets. Thoughts?

WWE needs to do this for at least a one-off match. It would be hilarious.

What happened to Ron Killings? We asked for R-Truth to be brought back, and he was. I was extremely excited. One match and done? What am I missing here?

I was excited for this too and wanted to see Killings taken more seriously, but thus far, it’s bombed. Maybe we’ll get more from Ron and then he can move back to the comedy act, maybe in a three-person unit with Priest and Rhea. I expect we’ll see the loveable Truth back before it’s all over.

According to Elias, he was scheduled to face the Undertaker in Saudi Arabia, but Goldberg took his spot at the last minute. Thoughts?

Can you imagine WWE booking Elias and The Undertaker for a Saudi show? No, I can’t either. Someone in WWE management might have been telling Elias some stories and pulling a rib, but I doubt it’s actually true. I’m sure that Undertaker versus Goldberg was the plan from Day 1.
