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.

Oba Femi left the NXT Title in the ring and walked out. Main Roster is calling. Where do you think he will be headed: RAW or SmackDown?

The only other wrestler I’ve ever seen do this, vacate the NXT Championship to move to the main roster, was Asuka, so there is a precedent. Most of the NXT stars being called up seem to be going to SmackDown, so for The Ruler, I think RAW seems most likely.

Jesse Ventura is teasing a potential run for Governor of Minnesota. Thoughts?

Jesse would be far better than the clown currently holding that position, but I think Jesse is just talking to be talking. I doubt he’s serious about dealing with that mess again.

CJ Perry (Lana) is now taking Independent dates as a manager. Thoughts?

Good for Perry to find a way to stay relevant as a part of the business. She’s taking the Matt Cardona route back to WWE. Awesome.

Harley Race versus Randy Savage. Who wins?

This would be an incredible match. If Harley is in his prime, the champ wins, but otherwise, it’s Macho Madness all the way.

Tony Khan commented on William Regal’s recent tweet: “Wrestlers are always taking hard-hitting and high-risk chances. That’s one of the things that makes pro wrestling so exciting. In AEW, we never had a career-ending injury like that.” Thoughts?

Has AEW ever had a career-ending injury? Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, Britt Baker, Keith Lee, Wardlow, Ibushi, and Lance Archer might all disagree with Tony. And those are just the names that immediately come to mind. I’m sure if I actually researched this, I’d find many more.

Would you like to see Tony Schiavone honored by WWE someday? Does Schiavone belong in the WWE Hall of Fame?

Tony has had a great career in announcing pro wrestling, and although Bob Caudle and Lance Russell should go first, Tony deserves the honor.

Jake Something and Andrade are now both All Elite. Thoughts?

Andrade is not a surprise, but Jake does surprise me. A name change to Jake Doyle for Something will really make him stand out among the AEW top stars. Congratulations to them both.

Logan Paul has signed a new full-time contract with WWE. Thoughts?

Does this surprise anyone? Logan is a star, and WWE isn’t going to let him slip away.

Do you think Michelle McCool should be on The Undertaker’s podcast?

Michelle’s presence adds nothing to the show, and in my opinion, subtracts from it as Taker isn’t going to be as open about things with his wife sitting next to him as he otherwise may be. Michelle needs to move on to other things and leave the podcasting alone.

Is Sammy Guevara being wasted in AEW? Would he do better in NXT?

I like Sammy, but I think he’s peaked in AEW, and has been used so badly, even a change to NXT wouldn’t help anymore. Sammy has skills and potential, but he’s gotten content and seems to be just running in place these days. He’s not hungry anymore, and it definitely shows.
