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.

It’s rumored that Omos may be returning to WWE soon, possibly even at AAA TripleMania XXXIII. Thoughts?

It’s about time. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Omos make an appearance, and when used as a special attraction, Omos is intriguing and can add to the stories. I’m interested in seeing if he’s improved since his last WWE appearance. I read some impressive things about his time with Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, and I’d like to see if that translates to his WWE work.

Do you think WWE is trying to weaponize TNA to sabotage AEW’s future?

Yes, of course they are. AEW fired the first shots and declared war. And now, WWE is showing them why that was not a smart way to start things off.

Apollo Crews is back training at the Dungeon, preparing for a return to WWE. Are you excited for Crews and his possible return to active wrestling?

I had forgotten that Crews was even still a part of the WWE. He’s been out with injuries for seemingly forever, plus he’s mid-card at best when he is healthy. Whatever Tamina has on WWE to keep a job, I think Crews has it too. Crews is a good wrestler, but in the loaded WWE roster, he brings nothing special or new to the table. With the WWE bean counters in charge, I doubt Crews will be back for long.

Brooke Hogan was photographed by paparazzi crying in public and slammed the photographers for invading family privacy and crossing personal boundaries. Thoughts?

As bad as it sounds, there is no expectation of privacy in public, and if you’re famous or a so-called celebrity, that goes double. I feel for Brooke, but she has little room to complain. Being photographed comes with the territory. And isn’t she the same person who went on a shock-jock radio show instead of her father’s funeral? Any sympathy I might otherwise have for Brooke kind of vanishes when I think about her and Bubba the Love Sponge, and the lack of respect/exploitation of her father.

Britt Baker was spotted at the beach by fans. Do you think Britt Baker is gearing up for a surprise return, or has she quietly moved on from AEW? Thoughts?

She lives in Florida and is spotted at a beach. SHOCKER! Honestly, I have no idea what Baker may be doing, and I doubt anyone, but Tony Khan, inside that convoluted little brain, knows the plans for Baker and AEW. He probably hasn’t even told her yet, as the plans have probably changed 486 times, when he even remembers she’s under contract.

Layla El & Michelle McCool versus Asuka & Kairi Sane. Who wins?

Lay-Cool is not ready for Asuka. Or Kairi, for that matter. The Kabuki Warriors would win.

Do you call it a six-man tag team match or a Trios match?

I’m old-fashioned. There are six wrestlers involved in the match, so it’s a six-man tag.

Ox Baker & Ernie Ladd versus Omos & The Miz. Who wins?

Omos would get mad, walk out on Miz, and leave him to the tender mercies of Baker and Ladd. A spiked thumb and a heart punch later, Miz would be pinned and then carried out. Ox and Ernie would win.

Perry Saturn recently underwent a full hip replacement that he’s been needing for years. Would you like to see Saturn, after he recovers, return to wrestling in some capacity?

Saturn is a legit tough guy, but I can’t see any reason for him to return to the ring in any capacity. He’s got quite the story to tell, so I would assume a book might be in his future. Signings, appearances, and maybe some coaching can happen, too.

So how about this? Karrion Kross returns, leading a faction that was screwed over” by WWE, and starts raising hell in WWE, NXT, AAA, TNA, and Evolve. No affiliated promotion is safe. What do you think? And who would you include in such a faction?

A faction including many who were legit screwed over by WWE, causing problems and wreaking havoc all across the wrestling universe. I like the idea, and if done properly, it could rival the nWo for a good invasion angle. As for who has a history with WWE and would fit the story, how about Karrion and Scarlett, of course. The original WWE fall-guy, Matt Cardona. Three talents who were released and never got a chance to say goodbye: Carlito, Shayna Baszler, and Braun Strowman. Hell, even Shane McMahon fits this M.O. The coordination would be insane, and WWE would have to play it like it’s real, but yeah, that would be awesome.
