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.

The MFTs are back in full force on SmackDown, and after attacking the returning Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn, they faced off with the Wyatt Sicks. Thoughts?

So, we’ll see Solo fighting Sami and Shinsuke, while the rest of the gang fights the Wyatts? That’s some interesting match-ups, and it should be fun to see where all of this goes. I’m especially glad to see Shinsuke back, but with the upcoming tour and SuperShow scheduled for Japan, it makes sense.

Real married couple Aleister Black & Zelina Vega are now paired on-screen on WWE television. Thoughts?

Zelina works better as a heel manager than a babyface wrestler, and pairing her with her real-life husband makes sense. Just a thought here. Imagine Black and Zelina versus Punk and AJ. That would be a fun feud.

Do you want to see Donald Trump attend John Cena’s final WWE match?

Nope. It would be cool for historic purposes and great publicity, but it would also distract from what really matters, Cena’s last match. People are too crazy these days and would be more focused on the President than Cena. Cena’s earned his chance to say goodbye. Let him do that without the distractions.

Lance Anoa’i has announced that he’s leaving the WWE. Thoughts?

This is part of a larger series of releases by WWE, and nine other talents were released as well. I’ve heard a few rumors of wellness violations, but whatever the reason, it sucks. Hopefully, it won’t be the end of a good career, and we’ll see Lance again in the near future.

Who is the GOAT of the WWE Divas?

Most would say Trish Stratus, but for me, it was and will always be Ivory.

Tony Khan recently claimed that he’s been writing AEW Dynamite “for thirty years”. Thoughts?

By that standard, since I once wrote a fantasy WCW/NWA for YahooGroups, I’m a former promoter as well. Yeah, right. Tony wrote for an E-Fed with about twenty followers. I had over 400. Tony is a bit delusional, don’t you think? I do.

Cyndi Lauper is going into the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on November 8th. Why isn’t she in the WWE Hall of Fame yet?

Congratulations to Cyndi Lauper for a great career and the very well-deserved honor. As for why she’s not in the WWE Hall of Fame yet, I have no idea. It’s definitely deserved and long overdue. Get on it, Triple H. Lauper is preparing to do a residency in Vegas, and WrestleMania next year is in Vegas as well. Maybe her time is finally here. One can only hope.

Corey Graves and Carmella welcomed a new son, their second child, into the world. Thoughts?

So, now we know why Corey is off television. Congratulations to Corey and Carmella and their growing family.

There are rumors about Austin Theory becoming part of The Vision. Thoughts?

Theory has all the tools and potential, and this rumor, if it’s true, could easily be the step needed to take him to the next level. I personally would love to see him come back and have a feud with Grayson Waller first, but if the Vision is in his future, so be it. He’s a talented dude and deserves the spot.

The Hardy Boys, already the NXT and TNA tag team champions, just won the HOG Tag Team titles as well, beating The Mane Event (Jay Lyon & Midas Black) at the HOG ‘With Glory Comes Pride’ event. Thoughts?

Matt and Jeff are showing why they’re one of the best tag teams in wrestling history, and if the end is near, then go out in style. Does this mean we’ll see the HOG Tag Team titles on TNA and NXT television? The Hardys are money, and WWE, TNA, and House of Glory know it. And all of these belts are proof of that.

And there you go. Thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and questions are welcome and appreciated. Reach me by e-mail at Doug28352@yahoo.com or on X at @Doug28352.

I’ll see you at the matches.
