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.

Captain Lou Albano managed 13 tag teams to the WWE Tag Team Championships. Rank the teams from worst to best. Thanks.

I’m a fan of Captain Lou, but most of his career was before I watched WWE, and most of my knowledge of that period of time comes from the Apter Mags. But I know my wrestlers and tag teams, and this is how I’d rate the Albano-led tag teams, as you asked, worst to best. Baron Mike Scicluna & King Curtis Iaukea, Crazy Luke Graham & Tarzan Tyler, The Yukon Lumbrjacks, Johnny & Jerry Valiant, The Executioners, Jimmy & Johnny Valiant, The Headshrinkers, Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito, The Moondogs, The U.S. Express (Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo), The British Bulldog & Dynamite Kid, The Wild Samoans, and finally The Blackjacks (Mulligan & Lanza).

Toni Storm versus Sherri Martel. Who wins?

Tomi might be timeless, but Sherri was a sensational sister, and also a Queen. Sherri would win.

Should AEW reunite The Acclaimed as a team?

As a team was essentially the only way that Anthony Bowens & Max Caster have ever made any kind of impact or mattered in the world of professional wrestling. Put them back together.

Does Brother Love belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

At some point, Bruce Pritchard does belong in the WWE Hall of Fame. I just hope that if he ever is inducted, he accepts the honor while in character as Brother Love. That would be awesome.

Push one, fire one, create a tag team, and one stays the same: Greg Valentine, Abdullah the Butcher, Jimmy Valiant, Terry Funk, and Junkyard Dog.

I’d push Terry Funk, while making Valentine and Valiant as a team. JYD would stay the same, while Abby would be released.

What would be your dream three-man commentary team?

Rich Landrum, Dutch Mantell, and Michael Cole.

I saw Zelina Vega on the Chris Van Vliet show, and her talent for voices is awesome. Should they incorporate that skill into her character?

I don’t know how well that would work for her character, but I can see Zelina sliding the occasional impression in while doing promos. And I can easily see Zelina doing some sidework in Hollywood, doing voices for animated projects. She’d be excellent doing something like that.

The Awesome Kongs versus The War Raiders. Who wins?

The Awesome Kongs were two fat dudes with no athletic abilities or talents in WCW for a short while, that Harley Race was stuck with to manage for a few weeks. And the War Raiders are current WWE stars who are also fat, but they can work and move well for big men. The War Raiders would win every time.

Are you ready for Bianca Belair’s return? What feud should she step into first when she’s cleared?

I would think that Bianca’s first targets should be Rhea and Iyo Sky. After all, those two were responsible for the injury that has kept her out of action. And since Bianca’s former best friend and current foe holds gold, she should be a target again.

Who is on your Mt. Everest of Luchadors?

Dominik Mysterio, El Grande Americano (rumored to be Chad Gable), El Grande Americano (rumored to be Ludwig Kaiser), and El Grande Americano (rumored to be Pete Dunne).
