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.

Dustin Rhodes is getting a double-knee replacement. Thoughts?

Dustin has had an amazing career, and we wish him a full and speedy recovery. Get well soon, legend.

Konnan is being inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame at TripleMania by Rey Mysterio. Thoughts?

I didn’t even know AAA had a Hall of Fame, but if anyone deserves to be there, it would be Konnan. Congratulations to the Lucha Wrestling legend. Now, the question is, will Disco Inferno crash the induction ceremony? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, but I hope so.

Of the four members of Evolution, who is the greatest?

This one is too easy. Despite how he’s behaving now and how determined he seems to be to destroy his own legacy, when it comes to a great career, and always setting the bar inside that ring, the ’80s and ’90s version of the Nature Boy was the GOAT for nearly two decades. The greatest? Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair.

Who’s your wrestler of the year SO FAR?

It’s a tough call, but she has broken out and revamped her career and character in every way possible, so I’m going to say Naomi. Proceed with Caution.

Chelsea Green has aligned herself with All Ego Ethan Page on NXT. Thoughts?

This is a perfect pairing. The characters are both so awesome and over the top, plus there is the whole Canadian Connection. And Page is great friends with Chelsea’s hubby, Matt Cardona. They both collect toys. It’s a great pairing both in character and real life, and I expect it will prove to be very entertaining.

Kamala the Ugandan Giant versus One Man Gang. Who wins?

Kamala was a tough character, but in a straight-up match with the Ugandan Giant versus the Florida/Mid-Atlantic version of the One Man Gang, it would be brutal, stiff, probably bloody, and a total Pier Six brawl. The One Man Gang would walk out with the victory.

Cardi B says she’s not ready yet, but wants to wrestle in a match for WWE one day. Would you like to see Cardi B compete in a wrestling match? And if so, then against whom?

I have no desire to ever see Cardi B involved in wrestling in any way, shape, or form again. But, if she does wrestle, I want her to wrestle a returning Ronda Rousey, with Rousey in a bad mood and on her period. Yeah, I’d want Ronda to forget the script and rip Cardi’s WAP to shreds.

Neither Brooke Hogan nor Eric Bischoff attended Hulk Hogan’s funeral. But Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, and Vince McMahon did. Thoughts?

Eric Bischoff was there. And Brooke didn’t attend because, allegedly, her dad says that he doesn’t do funerals, and she wanted to honor her dad, plus she had an interview to do with Bubba the Love Sponge instead. Given her recent comments to Bubba and TMZ, I doubt she would have been comfortable or welcome at Hulk’s funeral anyhow.

Bret Hart says that CM Punk is the best wrestler active now. Thoughts?

And that is Bret’s opinion, for which he is entitled. I agree that Punk is one of the best currently working, but for us both, it’s just an opinion.

Jos LeDuc versus Bronson Reed. Who wins?

This would be a straight-up brawl. If Reed has his friends at ringside, I think this match would end up with LeDuc eating a Tsunami, but a fight with both men on their own, it would swing to LeDuc’s favor. Reed would control the early part of the match, but the intensity and power of Jos LeDuc would emerge victorious in the end.

What are your thoughts on WWE’s plans to keep AAA separate as its own brand?

What AAA is and represents is unique and special, and while WWE can help improve the production values and structure of the brand, it can never take over or compete in the ways that matter. Keeping it separate is the best thing for all parties involved, and truly is best for business.
