From the short bits we got, I see an overall better version of Miz in Luke and a lot of Undertaker in Andy. Hell, I even think he could very well become the youngest world champion. Am I blind there?

 

[klunderbunker]

I think you're jumping the gun a lot. We saw them in a very controlled environment. Getting over on a reality show with Steve Austin standing next to you is one thing. Doing it on your own is another.

 

[Vega]

Yeah, I guess you're right. The segments were obviously cut to make them look great, but I still think TE gave us a lot of interesting characters.

I basically compared TE Miz to TE Luke and Luke just looks to be better, even when I compare their douchebag potential on last monday's RAW. But he seems to have those shy moments behind the prick facade which can make you stumble.

Andy seems to be a guy who carries a great aura of respect and danger and gives the impression of a calm, intimidating beast by just standing in the ring. Looks like he is kind of a private, mysterious person, but a guy who's always honest, humble and you'll never have personal problems with. Seems to be very confident, controlled and - despite is size - very agile in the ring. Kind of what Taker is, only half his age. 23 now and looks like a veteran, my personal pick for next big thing.
Part of me writing that is just wanting to see how right / wrong I'm on this one, so I guess I should just let time speak and provide a funny retrospective.

Jeremiah was very over and I think a character like him has never been in wrestling before at a bigger stage (or is / was there anyone?). A one of a kind thing which is pretty rare these days. A loose cannon like gimmick may work very well, seems to be a natural face.

All in all, I'm pretty surprised by the high number of good talents of that TE season. Not a lot of "vanilla guys" when you compare it to previous seasons.

 

[klunderbunker]

You mean a redneck guy? Sure there have been characters like that. As for Undertaker, he has various other things besides the size and a look to him. Not as easy as you're making it sound. The cast was picked by USA. Probably had a lot to do with it.

Hey KB can you name a couple of wrestlers that, just like Orton, were turn from heel to face becasue fans loved him?

Do you know where was going the angle where VKM was "dead"?

 

[klunderbunker]

1. Savage more or less. Austin for sure.

2. Depending on who you listen to it was Linda, Vince himself faking his own death, or Paul London, which I really don't buy.

 

[El Rev sXe]

Can you please explain that whole thing about Warrior being replaced by a looalike? When did it happened? Why the E would do that? I know it's all bs but still I'm curious.

Your thoughts in general about Warrior, Maryse, Hogan and Jeff Hardy?

 

[klunderbunker]

It didn't. Warrior came back and looked different. That's an urban legend.

Crazy but popular beyond belief.
Looks great in camouflage.
The biggest star ever and it's not even close.
Train wreck.

Thoughts on the rumoured WM28 card posted on the main page?

Have WWE missed the boat by not having a Cena/Taker feud? That match could only really happen at Mania or maybe Summerslam and with Cena/Rock already happening at Mania and Del Rio/Cena heavily rumoured for SSlam combined with the fact Taker is barely around anymore it looks like we may not get that match at all.

 

[klunderbunker]

That it's June.

It would be a big gamble and i can understand why they wouldn't want to run it.

 

[CleverName51]

Had Stone Cold Steve Austin not been injured, would the WM2000 main event been Austin vs Rock 2, Austin vs Foley, Austin vs Show or Austin vs HHH or something else?

Also: is the reason the "youth movement" got delayed from ~07 til now a result of the deaths of Eddie/Benoit and guys like Kennedy, Jeff Hardy, Umaga's drug issues and the fact that guys like Lesnar, Lashley, Goldberg just upped and left the company which left major holes in the roster that no one else was quite ready to fill?

 

[klunderbunker]

Really hard to say as they had known Austin needed surgery for two years. They had their plans in motion for a long time for it.

I didn't really think it was all that delayed. They were going with Cena and Punk and Orton, all of whom were young. They wanted to use their old guys while they could, and that's what they did.

 

[mrbrownstone]

Thoughts on RVD going from main eventing the last two PPV's and having "the biggest match in Impact Wrestling History" with Angle to not even being featured on the card at one of the biggest shows of the year?

 

[klunderbunker]

That it's TNA and it's not surprising in the slightest.

Rate Triple H' in ring ability out of 5

 

[klunderbunker]

4.

 

[MrHashasheen]

If the NWA Territories System hadn't crumbled and stayed the course, do you think kayfabe would have died before the internet got big or stuck it out till later?

 

[klunderbunker]

The internet has very little to do with it. Kayfabe is broken all the time on TV and elsewhere.

Say Alberto Del Rio had a different finisher from the Cross Armbreaker.What would it be?(can be anything,submission,impact,diving etc)

 

[mrbrownstone]

Who are your three favourite wrestlers at the moment?
Are their any current indy workers that you think could do well/would like to see in WWE/TNA?

Nothing off the top of my head. Any move can be built as a finisher.

Punk, Rhodes, AJ I guess. That would likely change within the next five minutes or so though.

Not off the top of my head. Kings of Wrestling I guess.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Who would you have picked as Eddie Guerrero's opponent after WrestleMania 20? With Angle and Show out with injuries, Lesnar leaving, Benoit on RAW, would you have stuck with JBL or switched to someone else?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably JBL. Makes the most sense.

 

[Vega]

Who should've broken Goldberg's streak and when?

 

[klunderbunker]

I always wanted it to be Benoit. When, I'm not sure.
