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.

Alpha Academy, aka Otis & Akira Tozawa, are the new Number One Contenders for the World Tag Team Championship titles. Thoughts?

This was a surprise, but I’m glad to see WWE finally doing something again with Tozawa and Otis, aside from having them as Maxxine’s personal cheerleaders. I was expecting to see New Day with the win, but I like this potential match with Alpha Academy versus The Usos better.

Do you want to see Saraya return in the Royal Rumble?

Nope. Every time I see her do an interview or show up at an event, she gets on my nerves. The bloom is off the rose. She needs to retire and stay there.

Do you think JD McDonagh should get a big push once he comes back?

JD is damn good, although he’s lacking some size. But the man can go, and few on the current roster are better. I want to see JD remain with Judgment Day, but it would also be nice to see him with some singles gold as well. Yeah, give this guy a push and make him a star.

Would you like to see WWE hold a PLE at Wembley Stadium? What other major international arenas or stadiums would you like to see WWE hold an event in?

I’d like to see WWE hold a PLE, one of the big ones, at Wembley, just to watch them crush that record AEW allegedly set two years ago. As for other arenas, I’d love to see WWE hold a major PLE or television taping at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, Arena Mexico in Mexico City, and Texas Stadium in Dallas, TX.

Do you think Adam Copeland (Edge) will ever return to the ring for AEW?

For some reason, I’m not feeling it for Adam Copeland and AEW. He might return for a one-off event, but I think his time as an active AEW wrestler is over.

Should wrestling bring back the mandatory thirty-day title defense rules? Yes or no?

Yes. And the sooner, the better.

Do you think WWE should bring back Tough Enough—especially in an all-women format?

This question stems from a revelation that WWE was thinking of bringing back the Tough Enough series and having a Women’s Tournament. But plans were shelved, and that idea was forgotten. And it should remain forgotten and shelved. Too much risk of real injuries, plus who, on the Women’s roster, can really fight? A few, with an MMA background, would do well, but for the majority of the WWE women, it would totally expose them. To this idea, just keep saying no.

Do you think that 45 is too old for The Miz to wrestle?

So long as the Miz stays healthy and in good shape, I don’t think age should be a factor. 45 is not old, and The Miz wrestles a fairly safe style. Plus, Miz is more of a character than a dominant in-ring performer. I think Miz can wrestle to age 45 and beyond. So long as he’s comfortable and able to do the job, he should continue. Why? Because he’s the Miz and he’s… AWESOME!
