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.

At AAA Triplemania XXXIII, Hijo del Vikingo will defend the Megacampeonato in a four-way against Dragon Lee, El Grande Americano, and Dominik Mysterio. Thoughts?

One of the top guys in AAA, who was the golden child of AEW a year ago, against three of WWE’s best. This match will be off the charts and one for the ages. I am looking forward to it. It’s going to be good.

Who is the greatest Japanese wrestler ever?

It’s a tough call, but I guess it depends on what era of wrestling you’re thinking about. My choices would be either the Great Muta or Asuka.

What are your thoughts on the internet reactions to the passing of Hulk Hogan?

There are a bunch of cruel, narrow-minded, sick deviants out there, the keyboard warriors of social justice, and the reactions to Hogan’s passing, they have me wanting to puke. They need to grow the fuck up, get a life, and show some respect.

Do you think The Rock will be at SummerSlam?

He might show up, but to be honest, I hope he doesn’t. WWE doesn’t need him.

Kiana James is back in WWE as the representative of Giulia. Thoughts?

This is a good role to get James back into the spotlight and work her into the mix on SmackDown. If Giulia has any flaws, it’s her grasp of the English language, and having James by her side fixes that. Plus, this gives WWE time to build towards an eventual Giulia versus James feud, which should be excellent. This is a good move by WWE.

AAA World Tag Team Champions Los Garza will defend their titles against any team who wants to challenge them in an Open Challenge NEXT WEEK on SmackDown! What team do you think will step up and answer their challenge?

It could be one of the regular WWE teams like DIY, or maybe Pretty Deadly, but I expect that we’ll see a team from AAA make their SmackDown debuts. I’ll go with Mr. Iguana and partner Nino Hamburguesa.

Kris Statlander is very excited about the state of the AEW women’s division, believing that every woman in the company is hungrier than ever. Thoughts?

Hungrier? I can see that since every woman on the AEW roster is left starving for attention, all of the focus stays on Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm. And the rest of the roster is tossed the crumbs and occasional tease before it’s all snatched away.

Do you want to see AJ Lee and CM Punk finally work together—or should they keep business and marriage separate?

Punk and AJ Lee should do whatever they feel most comfortable doing, and what works best for them. I’d like to see them work on a program together, and I think that eventually, they will. The planets just have to align correctly first.

What do you think of Tessa Blanchard defending Hulk Hogan?

I’ve read Tessa’s statement, and it was well spoken and made a lot of sense. I saw nothing wrong with anything she said, and neither would anyone with common sense. The internet trolls went crazy, of course, and they already hate Tessa, so they’re looking for an excuse to pile on. I feel Tessa was on target, to the point, and made sense.

Do you think Bayley has the right to be upset over being left off the SummerSlam card?

Yes, if she’s truly off the show, she has every reason to be unhappy. But is she really off the show? We’ll find out at SummerSlam. I feel, though, that we’ll see Bayley with an appearance or two.
