Sin Cara needs to get REALLY over, you know by being part in a feud. Who would you say that in the current SD! roster can put over Sin Cara?

I guess longevity means nothing to you, then?

Rock was only a full timer for 6 years (1996-2002). He was Main Eventer for only 3 of those (November 99-02), then he was a Main Event Part Timer for parts of 2 years, before leaving all-together in 2004. Part of me feels that him not being in yet is because he isn't worthy of an immediate HOF induction. One of the reasons I put Austin over Rock (besides Austin being miles better) is that Austin was wrestling for over 15 years, while Rock only wrestled 7ish (WWE and training).

Oh, and I was trying to think of a wrestling-related question, and that was all I could come up with. Didn't want to only ask a question about the TV show Wife Swap.

Did...did you really just give Rock's resume for the Hall of fame? Seriously?

 

[Sully]

Do you think WWE will ever have an actual building for the HOF?

As for the HOF, yeah probably. Anything they can sell tickets for.

 

[CleverName51]

Could Matt Hardy have been better if he had stuck with the Mattitude gimmick? it's my favorite work of his and IMO, with proper booking and better cronies (Moore and Crash...kinda sucked) he could have maybe been in the position where R-Truth is today (consistent title challenger, never a winner)

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh maybe but I wouldn't put a ton of stock behind that theory.

 

[Hologram]

What you think about main event level (kinda) guys like Kane, Big Show & Undertaker going for the Hardcore Title in 2001?

Do you think it was done to make the title seem more important?

 

[klunderbunker]

It doesn't matter if it's the Ekky Ekky Ekky Ekky Pitang Zooboing Title. If the title is made prestigious by big competition, it'll be good.

Makes sense to me.

On a similar note, what do you think was the greatest Hardcore Title match?

 

[klunderbunker]

Rock vs. Taker vs. Angle had one once I believe. We'll go with that one.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

In the grand scheme of things, how great was The Honky Tonk Man as a heel? Top 10?

 

[klunderbunker]

Top 3-5.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Just to put it on record, you were right KB. Going to Mick Foleys comedy show was beyond worth it. He's an awesome person, and he signed my book. For the 12 bucks the ticket cost, it was worth it, and he hasnt started his comedy routine yet.

 

[klunderbunker]

KB is never right.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Ha ha ha. We all know. I was referring to being correct.

I don't want to brag or anything, but I voted for you going too.


KB, How would WCW and the wrestling business have been changed in Eric Bishoff was hired as an announcer for the WWF?

 

[ChickenWaffles]

Top 3-5.

Who else would you put up there ? (Top heels)

 

[SD619]

Your thoughts on the following guys:

Hardcore Holly
Goldust
Chuck Palombo
Tommy Dreamer

 

[klunderbunker]

WCW would have been in a very different place because Vince wouldn't have let Eric take over WWF. I'm really not sure but it's an interesting question. I think that WWF would have won out but not by much as if nothing else there were more idiots in WCW than in WWF.

 

[klunderbunker]

DiBiase
Hogan
Piper

 

[klunderbunker]

Hardcore Holly - No clue why Vince kept pushing him
Goldust - One of the best characters ever and one of the pioneers of the Attitude Era actually
Chuck Palombo - Looked great in a pair of tights
Tommy Dreamer - Good for ECW, means jack elsewhere

 

[The Dragon Saga]

What's your favorite Original ECW match and why?

What are your thoughts on Matt Striker as an in-ring performer and commentator respectively?

 

[klunderbunker]

I remember liking Taz vs. Candido from Hardcore Heaven 1997. Nothing really jumps out but I'd need to think about it.

I like the totally random references because it's cool hearing those names out of nowhere. He's rather dull in the ring although he's been a nice surprise in his few comeback matches.

 

[The Crock]

Was Rock a better heel or face?
