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.
Triple H announced that Pat McAfee will be returning at WrestlePalooza. Thoughts?
A little Pat is better than no Pat at all. McAfee is a talented personality and adds to the product, but he’s best in small doses. A return at the WrestlePalooza PLE makes perfect sense.
Who’s the better worker? Naomi or Mercedes Mone?
There was a time that Mone, as Sasha Banks, was on target and far better than 90% of the women in pro wrestling, but her skills have declined at an incredible pace, and she’s currently only a fraction of what she once was. Naomi was never great, but she really seems to have found her stride over the past year. Currently, I’d have to say Naomi.
In your opinion, what’s been the best wrestling storyline of the last decade?
This one is a no-brainer. Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.
Have you listened to Ron Killings’ White Album yet? Thoughts?
I listened to it on Spotify, and if I didn’t know who it was, I would never have guessed Ron Killings. If you like artists like Jelly Roll, Yelawolf, and that crowd, Killings fits right in. The tracks are on fire and on track. The album is really good.
Wahoo McDaniel versus Vader. Who wins?
Wahoo would take it to Vader like no man ever has before and give him a fight like few others, but when the final bell tolled, Vader would walk out with the win.
If Bob Sapp were inducted into the WWE HOF, who should be the person to induct him?
Given that Sapp is best known to the people in the United States from the Adam Sandler movie, The Longest Yard, I would suggest a co-star from that movie, either Steve Austin or Kevin Nash, as the best possibilities. Adam Sandler himself, if he’s available, would also be a great option.
Jade Cargill versus Chyna. Who wins?
Both women look like a million dollars, but both women are actually less than great in the ring. The build for the match would be great, while the match itself would suck. I think Chyna would win.
Triple Threat Match: Doom versus Harlem Heat versus The Hurt Syndicate. Who wins?
Ron Simmons & Butch Reed versus Booker T and Stevie Ray versus Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley. Add Teddy Long, Sherri Martel, and MVP on the outside, and what a spectacle this would be. It’s a tough call, but I’d go with Booker T and Stevie Ray for this one. Harlem Heat wins.
Arn Anderson wants you to create a new Four Horsemen from the current WWE roster. Who are you picking?
The Vision comes pretty close, but let’s forget about them for a while. The Horsemen were essentially a champion, a secondary champion who could double as The Enforcer, and a tag team. I’d go with Brock Anderson, Grayson Waller, Bron Breakker, and Erick Rowan with Joe Hennig, aka Curtis Axel, in the JJ Dillon role.
If WWE were making a Tarzan movie, who would you cast as Tarzan and Jane?
The first names that come to mind are Jey Uso and Roxanne Perez. Don’t ask me why, but those were the first two names I thought of. And JD McDonagh as Boy.
So, Ric Flair is recognized as a sixteen-time World Champion. John Cena is recognized as a seventeen-time World Champion. Does that mean John Cena is better than Ric Flair?
John Cena is a better WWE superstar than Flair, but there is no comparison of Ric Flair of the ’80s and ’90s and Cena as a professional wrestler, and what they did as the World Champion. Flair regularly wrestled 8 times a week, against 8 different opponents in different cities or countries as the NWA Champion. Cena can’t compete with that.
