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.

WWE ID Champion Kylie Rae is pregnant. Thoughts?

Cool. Congratulations to her.

Declan McMahon has called for his Dad, Shane McMahon, to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Thoughts?

He should be happy for his Aunt. Shane had a decent career, but many others are far more deserving.

Do you think WWE WrestlePalooza was everything WWE and ESPN were hoping for it to be?

It wasn’t what it was hyped to be, and I don’t think either WWE or ESPN was totally happy with how things turned out.

When recently talking about bad gimmicks on his podcast, Tony Schiavone brought up Disco Inferno, saying, “Disco’s not a bad gimmick,” Schiavone said. “He is just a stupid person. They’re two different things. He’s just an a***hole.” Thoughts?

And Tony comes across as a real asshole with his comments. Disco can be annoying, and he does a lot of it intentionally just to annoy people. It seems that with Schiavone, he succeeded. So, who’s the stupid one?

Billy & Chuck w/ Rico versus The Acclaimed. Who wins?

What a fun match this would be. A bit on the wild side, and I doubt it could air in today’s market on television. People would be so offended. Maybe at the show that Effy does every year, but nowhere else. Chuck & Billy would win.

Are you ready to see Beth Phoenix in more AEW action?

I’m happy to see her back involved in wrestling. I just hope that AEW can figure out how to properly use her and make it work.

Do you think The Bunny can make a strong run in wrestling after two years away?

I don’t think she’ll be a major player for anyone or any kind of draw on the Indy scene. But welcome back, Bunny.

Do you think AEW put the title on Kris Statlander just to set her up for Mercedes Moné, or will Statlander get a real run before facing her?

I’ll give Kris maybe three months at the most before she’s served up to give Mercedes another belt. The title run will essentially be meaningless.

Do you think AJ Lee should stick around for a longer run in WWE after this performance?

From everything that I’ve seen, AJ will be sticking around for a while. She signed a multi-year deal with the WWE.

What former WWE Superstar would you like to see return to the company?

I talk about this every week, and my picks are well-known for this question. Matt Cardona, Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Jinder Mahal, and in non-wrestling roles, Ivory & Victoria.

Jake Roberts: Modern wrestlers “Don’t even care anymore” about kayfabe. Is he right?

He’s 100% correct. Jake might not always be the most straightforward person, but that statement is as true as it gets.
