If Road Dogg Had One More Match Against A WWE Talent, He'd Choose GUNTHER

Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Brian "Road Dogg" James is long retired from professional wrestling but was asked in a Q&A episode of "Oh...You Didn't Know" who he would face if he were to ever step in the ring again, and the WWE Hall of Famer had a surprising answer.

"I would work with GUNTHER and the reason being, I'm an old relic," James said, "but one that is quasi-marketable and quasi-promotable."

James believes that his coming out of retirement to face the Intercontinental Champion would plant a seed of sympathy in the audience before the match even started, saying he hopes to get a "Really? Him?" reaction from the audience, their imaginations alight with the possible.

"He'd chop me to death and I can promise you this," James chuckled, "when that comeback came, Jack, you better stuff in big man, because it's my turn ... and that's exciting,"

James says he can't even imagine having a match at his age, but he enjoys thinking about how to construct a match with his admitted physical limitations.

"How do you work with a guy who's fat and has no wind?"

James is strictly a backstage presence in WWE these days, and as it stands he hasn't wrestled since a 2015 loss to the former "NXT" Tag Team Champions The Ascension at the Royal Rumble, though he did appear on the "WWE Raw" 30th-anniversary show, where his DX reunion was interrupted by GUNTHER's Imperium faction, which adds a certain twist to James's desire to face "The Ring General."
