Any chance of Cena-Styles being the main event at the Rumble?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah, though I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[ShinChan]

Just saw a couple of matches of Young Bucks.

Why do they spam super kicks so much?

Doesn't spamming hurt the value of this finisher? I mean, Shawn used to get pin with a single super kick and they can't get a pin with double superkick by both of them at the same time. Even they used 4 superkicks total (twice by each) and still there's no pin. That does suggest that their super kick isn't credible enough.

Sorry, went on a rant there.

Linking to your point about Jack Gallagher needing a better bully opponent, how much fun could Gentleman Jack vs Pete Dunne be?

Or potentially even the Gentleman vs some version of British Strong Style?

At what point before the Attitude Era was the WWF in the greatest amount of trouble of going under? How long then after that moment but before the Attitude Era was it that WWF were in a better place?

Well you see they're cool, so it doesn't matter how little sense they make.

I could go for either of those. He just needs a strong opponent.

Steroids trial era.

Are there any wrestlers/characters who you know were not all that great/poorly received who you have a soft/blind spot for?

Like you only remember the good. For example, for me, its Dude Love.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Who is the best in-ring worker in your opinion? And would you say that my personal choice (Kurt Angle) is a good one?

It's more of a guilty pleasure than anything else but Kurrgan in the Oddities. There was a shot of him (I think at Summerslam 98) doing his dance and the seriousness on his face gets me every time.

If you mean on a wider scale, the Barbarian. He's a perfect example of someone who is considered a goon but kept getting regular work for well over 15 years. You knew what you were getting with him and it was still fine. The same is true for Meng/Haku.

Angle is way up there and yeah that's fine.

Shawn is hard to top though.

I would have to say that I have soft spot for Haku as well. He was a perfect henchman for Heenan and looked (and was) legitimately tough enough that beating him would seem to mean something.

As for Dude Love, you can read about Foley hating Dude and thinking that almost nothing good came out of it but I can name various things that I love that he was involved in - his debut tagging with Austin, his annihilation by Kane, his appearance at the end of the cage match with HHH, the faces of Foley promo and his heel run against Austin for the title.

Austin vs Dude with Vince as the ref is perhaps my favourite fun match.

 

[klunderbunker]

That match is indeed fantastic.

Are you contributing to Perry Saturn's Go Fund Me page for his medical bills? I've seen the video and he breaks down in tears talking about how he is likely to be homeless in a few days and doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. Hard to watch

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm not. I'm stretched financially as it is at the moment, though I'd consider it if I could.

 

[Da Prophet]

Charlotte Flair
Sasha Banks
Bayley
Becky Lynch
Nikki Bella
Mickie James
Alexa Bliss (?)

You would have to assume all these women are going to be on the Mania main card. How many women's matches are we going to get this year on Mania?

 

[klunderbunker]

3

King Ross raised one interesting point, so wanted to ask about that. If point is for Jericho on Sunday to not interfere and to put him in shark cage why make it a no DQ match where he or anyone else can legaly interfere and cost both of them title?

And if Jericho doesnt interfere in that match who will?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm going to answer the second part first: probably Strowman on a whim.

Now for the first part.....

.....Raw makes my head hurt.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Lance Russell or Gordon Solie?

Bruiser Brody or Stan Hansen?

Raw? Professional wrestling has done this for decades. I've never understood it. Face wins title match by DQ due to heel's buddy interfering. Face gets no DQ rematch made by GM like it's supposed to solve the problem. The crowd even cheers like it's a win for the face. All it really does is allow the heel to use his buddy to cheat without losing. While faces are very stupid, heels are just as stupid for not just starting a no DQ match as a 2v1. Hire a team like Cesaro and Sheamus like the APA, which now that that popped in my head I think they'd fit great in that role.

Yeah but Raw is actively horrible in general so it's even worse.

.....not bad. Not bad at all actually.

Any predictions for what Kofi does this Sunday to save himself? I'm not sure what there is left to do at this point. The hand stand walk, the leap from the barricade, the hopping on the chair, the Rose Buds saving him, Big E shouldering him around.

Oh, while I'm thinking about it. I understand that you want Mickie to get on TV as much as possible and with the Rumble being a dual brand show you only have so much time, but why is Smackdown doing the six woman tag instead of having Alexa defend her title?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm not sure I'm on enough drugs to guess.

There really isn't an opponent at the moment, save for a quick Naomi match.

A small section of planted spotters in the audience? Announcers table? Wheelchair! Now that would be funny.

Why does SD! have a 4 man commentary team?
