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.

TNA has signed a new deal and is moving TNA Impact to AMC in January. Thoughts?

We’ve been hearing rumors for a while, and now, it’s official. TNA joins The Walking Dead franchise as part of AMC. Now, my bro can watch it and keep me up-to-date with the Total Non-Stop Action, as well as the adventures of Darryl and his friends. Congratulations to TNA for securing this new home. And I think Tony Khan should be very worried.

Now, Bret Hart is saying that Vince was “in love” with the Ultimate Warrior. Thoughts?

First Shawn Michaels and now The Ultimate Warrior? It wouldn’t surprise me, but who the hell cares? Bret is bitter and just throwing stuff out there to see what sticks. Bret might need to be worried about defamation issues if he’s not careful. It’s just getting wilder and wilder. What’s next? Vince and Goldberg? It wouldn’t surprise me if Bret claims that next. It’s just getting crazy.

All WWE material on Peacock will be removed from the streaming service at the end of December. Thoughts?

And at the end of December, my Peacock subscription will also end. I’m just there for the WWE stuff, so if that’s gone, why bother?

Larry, the Dog, has passed away. Thoughts?

This breaks my heart. I know how it feels to lose a loved pet. It’s like losing a child. Condolences to CM Punk and AJ Lee. And RIP Larry Brooks.

CJ Perry told TMZ that she had to buy tickets for every WWE show she attends ever since TKO took over. So, no more freebies? Thoughts?

As the wife of a current WWE talent, and as a former talent herself, I’m surprised that Perry couldn’t get a pass to visit backstage, especially since she’s under a Legend’s deal. Something doesn’t seem quite right here, but we all know that TKO is all about the dollar, so if this is true, it really isn’t a surprise.

Do you think AJ Lee should go full-time again, or do you like her working on a part-time schedule?

Full-time would expose her. Less is more, and besides, she’s working on a movie script and has a full-time career as a writer. Keep it part-time for maximum efficiency.

Which podcasts would you recommend?

Anything with James Romero, be it the Stevie Richards show, Storytime with Dutch, or WSI. I like his presentation and take on things, and he works so well with Dutch and Stevie; it’s always entertaining. Jim Cornette never fails to deliver with the Experience and the Drive-Thru. And surprisingly, Stephanie McMahon’s show with WWE. She’s getting really good at the interviewing thing and rarely fails to deliver.

Joe Hendry has been added to the WWE roster page. Thoughts?

He’s a member of the WWE roster now, and they believe in him. Good for Joe.
