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.

Your take on WWE Unreal in 5 words or fewer.

Unnecessary. Killing the business.

Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga are the new WWE Tag Team Champions, having defeated Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, the Wyatt Sicks, on SmackDown. Thoughts?

The Wyatt Sicks experiment was interesting, but without Bray around, it has also been a huge failure. The entire group is unique, talented, and charismatic, and in a different world, would be dominating the WWE, but it just hasn’t clicked. Congratulations to Solo and the MFTs. Perhaps now, we’ll see Bo, Nikki, Gacy, Lumis, and Rowan regroup, tweak their characters a bit, and embark on a fresh start and success. This past run, though, just wasnt cutting it.

If you could bring back the Raw Guest Hosts, who’s the one personality you’d like to see on the show?

Comedian Brad Williams.

There seems to be some debate about this, so what’s the perfect number of matches that should be on a show?

My preference is between six to eight matches, depending upon is is regular TV, a PLE, and which event.

Eddie Kingston versus Wahoo McDaniel versus The Missing Link. Who wins?

What an odd threesome of grapplers. Wahoo would chop both Eddie and Link down to size after a brutal and bloody brawl. Wahoo wins.

Do you think Gail Kim made the right call by retiring when she did, or would you still want to see her have one final match under the right circumstances?

Gail had nothing left to prove when she retired, and if she felt it was the right time, then it was the right time. She knows her body and capabilities better than any of us. But if the opportunity and story came up for one last match, and it makes sense, I wouldn’t object to seeing it happen at all.

Powerhouse Hobbs’ WWE name will allegedly be Royce Keys. Does it pass the name test?

That new name sounds kind of dumb to me. It’s so obviously fake. Try again, WWE.

Do you think that RAW, SmackDown, and NXT should have separate GMs and commentators?

Each show should have its own brand and identity. So separate announcers, general managers, etc., makes perfect sense.

If Magnum TA hadn’t been injured and forced to retire, do you think Sting would have gotten the same push in WCW, and would he have been as big a star?

Magnum was the focus for WCW, and if he had been able to continue wrestling, I think things in WCW would have been different for a lot of people, including Sting. Sting stood out, and he would have risen to the top as a star eventually, but it might have taken a bit longer, and he would have had to take a different path. Sting had too much potential going for him to ignore, Magnum or not.
