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.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to iconic wrestling legend Ann Casey. I miss you, pretty lady. Amazing person, amazing writer, amazing person. Rest in Peace.

A recent documentary about Luna Vachon claims that when she was 12-13 years old, she was sexually assaulted by Roddy Piper. No proof, but an allegation. Thoughts?

So, a woman who has been dead for 15 years was allegedly assaulted by a man who died ten years ago, and there is no proof at all, and it’s never been mentioned in any of the assorted shoots that Luna did during her career. Yeah, that makes sense and seems credible, right? It seems that the documentary folks were just grasping at straws, looking for anything to attempt to draw viewers to their little film, including slander. I hope that the family of Roddy Piper takes note and pursues legal action. This is messed up.

Do you think AJ Lee still has what it takes to thrive in WWE’s current women’s division long-term?

So far as presence and promos go, she absolutely still has it. And while the first match wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t bad either. She’ll be fine.

Would Alberto Del Rio’s return be a major boost for WWE?

In my opinion, it’d be a major mistake. Del Rio has too much baggage, and bringing him back would be far more trouble than it possibly could be worth. Leave him be.

Brock Lesnar versus Bron Breakker versus Gunther. Who wins?

This match would be brutal. And totally rock. I think Brock should get the win.

Ricky Saints is the new NXT Champion. Thoughts?

I’m not surprised that Saints is the new NXT Champion. He’s a talented wrestler with a ton of charisma and has superstar written all over him. I was surprised to see him defeat Oba Femi at No Mercy, though. I thought it would take a little longer.

The dream match between Stone Cold and CM Punk is being discussed by WWE for WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia. Thoughts?

If Austin is healthy and wants to do it, and Punk is cool with it, it’s one of the few dream matches that could still happen and be a good match. I’d like to see it.

Scott Steiner versus Bron Breakker. Who wins?

Bron is a future star and may even surpass the excellent career his Uncle, Big Poppa Pump, had. But a big reason Breakker is so good is the training that his father, Rick Steiner, and his Uncle gave him in the beginning. And what’s the old saying? They teach everything you know, but not everything they know. Scott would take Bron to school and give one more lesson. Scott Steiner wins.

Do you think WWE should have offered Jazmyn Nyx a bigger deal to keep her in NXT?

Nyx was estimated to make $75,000 a year, and the new contract would roughly match that unless she moved up to the main roster. Maybe that’s not enough for Myx, but in the real world, that’s not bad money at all. It’s what WWE feels she was worth at this stage of her career. Try making that as an Independent wrestler or at MLW or TNA. If she continued to improve and her value as a talent increased, her salary would have continued to rise as well. I think she’s making a mistake and should have taken the offer. She was being paid to train, learn, and get better. She won’t find an offer like that again.

Hologram has been written off of AEW TV and is likely out for the rest of 2025. Thoughts?

Didn’t he just come back? I hate this for him, but it’s hardly noticeable if he’s there or not. Best wishes for a speedy and painless recovery, but considering what a mess AEW usually is, I doubt anyone will notice.

Ace Austin has joined The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn). Thoughts?

He’s in good company, and with the current injuries to Colton Gunn and Jay White, the group needed a good, solid, new member. Ace Austin will make a good fit.
