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.

Kenny Omega versus Lex Luger. Who wins?

Omega has the speed and fancy moves. Lex has the size and power. These men are so different and represent different eras. It’s a tough call, but I think Omega would win.

What is the best wrestling promotion ever besides WWE?

I was raised here in North Carolina, so this is a no-brainer for me. Jim Crockett Promotions. ‘Nuff said!

Do you think WWE should bring Liv Morgan back to television as an on-screen character before she’s medically cleared to compete?

It worked well for CM Punk when he was out with the torn bicep, so why not do it with Liv? Let her occasionally show up and cause dissension in Judgment Day. Or imagine if Liv took a liking to Roxanne? How would Raquel react? I don’t want Liv back every week until she’s cleared and ready, but the subtle tease every so often would be cool.

Syko Stu has been released from the hospital and is now home resting. So, why hasn’t Raja Jackson been arrested yet and criminally charged?

I’m glad Stu has been released and is home. He has a long recovery ahead of him, and I wish him the very best. Get well soon, Stu. As for why Jackson hasn’t been arrested yet, I have no idea. I know the LAPD is allegedly investigating, but I suspect that, since it’s a wrestling thing, plus considering who Jackson’s dad is, they’re scared to ruffle feathers or stir the pot. Hopefully, he’ll be arrested soon.

Videos of both Sheamus and Rhea Ripley being swarmed by fans while in France have surfaced online. CM Punk has also been vocal about fans not respecting boundaries and inappropriate touching. Thoughts?

Rhea said it best. Wrestlers are people too, and while it’s cool to be fans, show some respect and give them their space. The clip I saw of Rhea was totally unacceptable. WWE needs to provide more security. It sucks that it’s coming to this, but people have gotten stupid and crazier than ever.

Thoughts and memories of Mike George?

I remember George from a couple of appearances in Crockett, but he was only there for a few weeks and vanished. The guy had skills inside the ring. That was obvious, but I don’t recall ever hearing him talk. George was a name for Kansas City, the Mid-South, St. Louis, etc., and I would see his name in the Apter Mags, but my memories of him are limited to the matches on Crockett TV.

If Mickie James came back to WWE for one last match, who should her final opponent be?

Since the biggest pain in Nick Aldis’s butt as the GM of SmackDown seems to be Chelsea Green, why not have Aldis’s wife handle her? Mickie versus Chelsea would be great TV and fun to see. So, that’s my answer. One last match? Mickie James versus Chelsea Green. Book it, Nick.

After a two-year hiatus, The Bunny is back, training for an in-ring return. Thoughts?

I had forgotten about her. Welcome back, Bunny. I hope she’s better now than she used to be.

Who was Hulk Hogan to you?

The face of the WWE and ’80s wrestling. Larger than life, always entertaining, and though I was never a big fan or Hulkamaniac, I’ll give credit where it’s due. Hogan was the face of wrestling to the mainstream world for a long, long time. When he showed up, like him or not, you paid attention. He was, and will always be, a star.
