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, guiding light, and the man with the best mullet since Billy Ray. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Dominik Mysterio is now a double-champion. Thoughts?

Dominik is getting the major push from WWE. He’s the man fans love to hate, and this not only adds to his resume but also adds to the growing tension in Judgment Day. It’s Wrestling 101 at its best.

What are your thoughts on AAA Worlds Collide? Rate the show 1-5.

Some of the action got a little sloppy from time to time, but the show stayed entertaining, and it kept my attention for the entire event. I’ll give it a 4.25 out of 5.

If Vince were still in charge of WWE, would WrestleMania be going to Saudi Arabia?

Nope. The Saudis would get some big shows, probably 2-3 events every year, but WrestleMania would remain a North American-based event.

Brock Lesnar ripped his pants while delivering an F-5 to R-Truth on SmackDown. Thoughts?

Yeah, that happens sometimes. And he laughed it off, playing it perfectly.

Sgt. Slaughter, Don Kernodle, and the Midnight Express, Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane, versus Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn, The Bloodline. Who wins?

Slaughter and Kernodle were a damn good team in the early ’80s, and of course, The Midnights are arguably one of the best teams ever. That being said, I can’t see Slaughter and Kernodle working well with Bobby, Stan, and Jim Cornette. The Bloodline was, at least for a time, a pretty cohesive unit. Roman and friends would win.

In reference to all the Charlie Kirk news, Ava Raine, the General Manager of NXT and the daughter of The Rock, posted, “If you want people to say kind words when you pass, you should say kind words when you’re alive.” Thoughts?

It’s not the smartest statement to be making right now, but no names are mentioned, and Ava is entitled to say whatever she wants. Without context, it’s just a statement, and not a big deal.

As part of their time at the ECW Arena, AEW held a tribute to Eddie Gilbert, with guests Jeff Jarrett, Doug Gilbert, Tommy Rich, and Sting. Thoughts?

A tribute to Eddie Gilbert, who passed away in 1995 from a drug overdose in PuertoRico, seems a bit random, but the fans at the ECW Arena remember Gilbert, and we were able to see Jeff Jarrett, Tommy Rich, and Doug Gilbert pay homage to their friend and family member. Eddie was a big part of the history of that arena, so it’s cool. It was a nice moment and gesture.

Tyler Breeze is back with WWE/NXT. So, how about a Tyler Breeze faction with Pretty Deadly? Thoughts?

We still don’t know if Breeze is back for good or if this NXT appearance is just a one-shot. Breeze and Pretty Deadly look good on paper. We’ve all seen worse for sure. If Breeze sticks around, maybe WWE should give it a shot.

Do you think Mike Tenay will ever return to wrestling? Same question for Joey Styles?

Neither Tenay nor Styles is part of the wrestling bubble anymore, and from what I understand, both men have moved on with their lives. Never say never in professional wrestling, but with these two men, I highly doubt either will be returning to the Announce table anytime soon.
