In the Live Discussion you said you wouldn't mind not seeing the Hardys again. I'd have to agree in a TNA setting at least. Jeff especially has pretty much faced everyone on the roster

Are there other wrestlers that you wouldn't care if they disappeared? For me Randy Orton is up there. I like the guy but he's pretty much done everything that unless he's up against someone he's never faced (Lesnar, Owens etc) I just don't really care

Were you a fan of the angle surrounding the WWF Title between SummerSlam and Survivor Series 98 that saw the title vacated and ultimately decided in the Deadly Game tourney at Survivor Series?

In general are you a fan of angles where the world title is vacant for a period of time?

Not really. It's often lazy writing and a shortcut to get to the ending you want without doing the work.

Name a wrestler that should be in the main event scene but isn't and name one that is in the main event scene (that isnt big show or Kane) but shouldn't be

Should - Wyatt. Make him sinister like he was about two years ago and let him go nuts.

Shouldn't - Rollins. My goodness WWE has destroyed him. Rebuild him as the conquering hero and keep him FAR away from the Authority.

I remember reading that Backlund spent time laying sheetrock for a company in his adopted hometown of Glastonbury, Connecticut before getting back to performing with Pro Wrestling USA.

Do you know anything of that time? Was he used properly....or was PWU such a mess that no one came out looking good?

I know PWU was an absolute disaster. From what I've gathered, Backlund just wanted away from wrestling for a bit and I can't blame him after the long reign he had.

Big Show. He's so one dimensional these days and it's killing anything he might have.

Other than that obvious answer, Ziggler. He's the exact same character he's been for years and I haven't been entertained by one of his matches in a long time.

Non-wrestling question, have you checked out the Muppets new show yet?

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh I was counting down the time until its debut.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Should - Wyatt. Make him sinister like he was about two years ago and let him go nuts.

An opinion of mine I'd like to hear your thoughts on: If it wasn't for Lesnar, Bray Wyatt would already have been World Champion.

 

[klunderbunker]

Possible. It would be more "if not for that feud with Cena, Bray Wyatt would have been World Champion."

Possible. It would be more "if not for that feud with Cena, Bray Wyatt would have been World Champion."

This is what always gets me about John Cena. Even though the booking of his feuds against guys like Wyatt, Owens, Rusev etc. could have been better, I feel like his lack of selling was also a factor. The guy looks like he swatted a fly away and went jogging for 10 seconds after every match. I feel that even if he won matches, looking like he went through a war and can barely stand would have given his opponents some credibility. Do you agree?

Kind of but Wyatt winning the first match would ahve done a lot more for him than Cena selling.

Can't agree on that completely.
I'd say that if not for Cena being squashed by Brock, Bray Wyatt would be world champion.
I'm sure you get what I am referring to with that one.




Also, What are Cena's 3 Biggest Entrance Pops ever?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably WM XXI, One Night Stand 2006 (a negative one) and the mother of them all at Royal Rumble 2008 in one of the rare instances of MSG being STUNNED.

Where do you rank his being drafted to Monday Night RAW for the first time?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's way up there too. Above WM XXI probably.

 

[L@RISANO]

Is the Roster big enough for an effective Brand Split? If yes, do you think a brand split would help in elevating some of the guys on the cusp of the top level?


Also, if you were the Boss in WWE, how would you go about improving the WWE and getting over guys like Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose, etc. in an effective manner?

 

[klunderbunker]

No. It's a nice idea in theory but it didn't work in execution.

1. Cut Raw to two hours. There's too much time for people to get out there and they get overexposed.

2. Stop having them lose so much.

 

[justinsayne]

In this clip from the latest Table for 3 Bryan explained what he wanted to do with the IC title after he won it, & how he wanted to get it to be meaningful again.

Do you think that if he could've stayed healthy his idea could've worked?

 

[klunderbunker]

It could have if they had treated it properly, which I can't imagine WWE would do.

 

[Blade]

How do you think Owens will do with it?

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

How much do you watch Raw because of nostalgia and tradition opposed to actual enjoyment of the product?

 

[klunderbunker]

How do you think Owens will do with it?

He'll be fine if they let him be aggressive once in awhile.

How much do you watch Raw because of nostalgia and tradition opposed to actual enjoyment of the product?

Very little.

 

[OYDK]

Had to choose one. Taker or Sting?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sting.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Very little.

Do you find the WWE product enjoyable then?

 

[klunderbunker]

I do, though far from perfect.

 

[NSL]

Sting.

Technicolor, black and white, Wolfpac, or TNA?

 

[klunderbunker]

I grew up a technicolor Sting fan so we'll go with that.
