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 Cyrus. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Ridge Holland has closed down his GoFundMe and is now seemingly backtracking on almost all of his anti-WWE comments. Thoughts?

Ridge said too much online and is now trying to do damage control. The GoFundMe was allegedly started by a family member, and Ridge claims that he didn’t know about it at first. Ridge is facing backlash and is trying to pull things back to mend fences and not be totally blacklisted from the business. I think it’s too little, too late, but give the man credit for trying.

Las Vegas is paying WWE $6,000,000 to host WrestleMania next year. Thoughts?

And this is why St. Louis got shafted, and why we’ll probably never see one of the big WWE PLEs in a smaller market again. It’s all about the cash, and Vegas has it. Saudi Arabia has it. And places like Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, or Greensboro? It’s not about the fans. It’s about the cash.

Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat have both been announced for AEW Blood & Guts in Greensboro, NC. Ricochet fired off on social media after the announcement, writing: “I’m better than both these old farts. #Ahaa 👑” Thoughts?

So, that explains how Flair will be able to make it an angle for the Ric Flair show. A confrontation with Ricochet and some chops by the Nature Boy, so he can style and profile one more time. I’m calling it now. Wooooo!

Is Dominik Mysterio a future World Champion?

Both Cornette and Konnan seem to think so, and they seem to know the business pretty well, so who am I to disagree? Yes, one day, Dominik will be WWE Champion.

Was dropping the title the right move for Giulia, or should her reign have lasted longer?

With the weight of the United States title off her waist, Giulia can now move to the top of the card and challenge for the WWE or World Championship. I see what WWE is allegedly trying to do. That U.S. title and Chelsea Green belong together. And Giulia moves on to bigger and better. Works for me.

Chris Jericho posted a picture on his 55th birthday, and the dude is shredded. Thoughts?

Chris needs to lay off the Bubbly because he still looks a bit bloated despite the six-pack, but for a dude his age, he looks great. If this isn’t a sign that he’s going back to WWE, then nothing is.

What was your ultimate Hell Frozen Over moment in wrestling for you?

Eric Bischoff showed up on RAW and was named the new RAW General Manager by Vince McMahon. And that hug between Vince and Eric. I still have trouble believing and seeing that.

So, does the winner of John Cena’s The Last Time Is Now tournament face John Cena in his last match? Or do we get Brock Lesnar crashing the party and taking the winner out so he can be Cena’s last match, and John gets revenge for their last match? Thoughts?

I’d go with Brock showing up and Cena getting payback as the last match. It just makes sense, plus it sets up a feud between Brock and whoever the winner of the tournament might be, most likely Gunther, and maybe a match at WrestleMania. It’s just enough of a swerve that it works for everyone, plus it would be fun to see.

Your birthday is coming up, and you are getting a wrestling event for your special day. Eight matches – and you get one WWE match, one AEW match, one legends match, and the other five matches are composed of free agents(not WWE or AEW). Who is at the event, including announcers and commentators?

Eight matches for my birthday. Okay, the announcers would be Corey Graves and Jim Cornette, while my ring announcer would be Lilian Garcia. And the matches? My WWE match? CM Punk w/ AJ Lee versus Dominik Mysterio w/ Judgment Day. My AEW match? The Jurassic Express w/ Marko Stunt versus Sammy Guevara & Daniel Garcia. The Legend’s Match? Coming out of retirement, The Main Attraction (Chris Steele & Scott Powers) w/ Jasyn Cross versus BD Productions (Derk Douglas & Brad Branson) versus Atlantic Coast Destruction Crew (Ethan Storm & Taz Jackson). And the other five matches? Michael Youngblood versus Alan Angels. Matt Cardona versus Joe Hendry. Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal w/ Hornswoggle versus Jack Swagger & Shawn Daivari w/ Mr. Iguana. Ivory & Victoria w/ Stevie Richards versus The IInspiration. Chris Masters & Carlito versus Trevor Murdoch & Mike Knox.
