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.

The RAW on Netflix 1st Anniversary is in the books. How would you rate it on a scale of 1-5?

The hype was great. The actual show didn’t quite meet expectations. Only four matches, and three of them were Women’s matches. And the matches, except the main event, just didn’t click at all. Everything was just off. The whole Stranger Things theme seemed forced, and the show dragged. On the scale of 1 to 5, I’ll have to go with a 2.5.

The Man, Becky Lynch, is the new Women’s IC Champion. Thoughts?

Maxxine tried, but it’s good to see The Man wearing Gold again. Good move by WWE. Congratulations, Becky.

Rhea and Iyo beat The Kabuki Warriors to capture the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Thoughts?

The match went too long, and it was kind of predictable, but it was a great way to open the show. Now, I expect we’ll see Rhea and Iyo against Charlotte & Alexa, or against Nia & Lash for a few weeks. Rhea didn’t need the win, but it’s a feel-good moment for the fans. Congratulations to the new champs.

Je’Von Evans is now officially part of the WWE Raw roster. Thoughts?

And they didn’t even show it on the show in the United States. Je’Von is a talented guy, but I think he’s getting pushed too quickly. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes. Congratulations to Je’Von.

Jesse Ventura versus Superstar Billy Graham. Who wins?

Jesse could probably out-talk Graham, but in the ring, Superstar Billy gets the win.

Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer showed up on RAW wearing a medical boot and was attacked by Raquel Rodriguez. So, should WWE strip Vaquer of her championship title?

I’m not sure how legit the injury is, but Stephanie has really tanked as a character in my opinion. Over 100 days as the World Champion, and three title defenses, all involving Nikki Bella. If the injury is legit, take the belt away and establish a new champ while Vaquer recovers. If she keeps the belt, run her and Raquel as a major feud. Go all out and try to rebuild the character. The potential is there, but so far, it’s been wasted and an absolute bust.

Stephanie Vaquer is the Women’s Wrestler of the Year, per ESPN. Dominik Mysterio is the Men’s Wrestler of the Year, per ESPN. Thoughts?

Vaquer and her run with the WWE, this award makes no sense. As for Dom, the honor fit and was the right call.

Who is your favorite heel in AEW right now?

Is Sammy Guevara a face or a heel right now? I’ve been a fan since the VLOG days, so let’s go with Sammy.

Should Chris Benoit be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?

Nope. Chris Benoit was a great wrestler and had a fantastic career, but what he did at the end overshadows all of that. Some things can never be forgiven.

The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts, Jimmy Garvin) versus The nWo (Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Syxx). Who wins?

The nWo would get the win, based on name status and politics, but they would have to fight for every inch of that victory. It would be one hell of a wild and fun match.

Which wrestler had the best-ever sleeper hold?

The Dean of Professional Wrestling, Johnny Weaver. Except for maybe Verne Gagne, nobody else ever came close.
