What made you decide to start reviewing wrestling shows?

[klunderbunker]

Wrestlemania XXV. It was a big milestone show and I wanted to do something special for it so I reviewed all the shows/give myself a reason to start watching even more wrestling than I already did. They were really well received so I did the rest of the Big Four, plus In Your House. Then I thought I'd just do every pay per view ever. Justinsayne said I'd never be able to do that and that's REALLY not something people should say to me as it rarely ends well.

And here I am nearly nine years later.

I had some doubts about this story too specifically because of the same reason you mentioned about HHH not being powerful enough yet. That is why I figured I'd ask you here. The source where I heard it from also noted that apparently Jerry Briscoe blew a gasket on HHH for being pompous and got in his face that of course Angle could beat him in a real fight without breaking a sweat, he won an Olympic medal.

Another question from 2000, if Austin had been healthy enough and never taken time off, what do you think the main event of Wrestlemania 2000 would have been?

[klunderbunker]

Never heard that one either but again it wouldn't have shocked me.

Not sure. Austin vs. Rock vs. HHH would be a likely candidate.

Santino should have.

KB, has there ever been a more important series of questions asked in the history of wrestling than Art Donovan asking about wrestler's weights?

Best thing that ever happened to Undertaker was him not being able to compete at Mania 16 (because that's what it is now). Steak would have ended before anyone gave a shit, and Taker would probably take the first fall in the Fatal 4 Way.

Approached, not broken.

Indeed:

Who?

Not necessarily. It was originally going to be Rock, HHH, Big Show and Jericho. Foley was brought in as a replacement. Undertaker was never in the cards, even in the long term that I'm aware of.

King of the Ring '94. He was a football hall of famer (and war hero) that knew dip-diddly-dog-shit about wrestling. He tried so hard, but he asked about competitor's weights at least 18 times during the show.

I was told Taker was in prelim planning until his body took a shit on him. He was ready to retire, and it was kind of a "least we can do" thing.

I know Donovan. You didn't get my joke.



Possibly, though I'm not sure he'd have been in the four way.

[Vageena Hertz]

Who do you think will win the fatal 4 way and who do you want to win it?

Also, it's not really a shield reunion if Reigns isn't involved is it? Do you think he will join them?
