Do you think Ziggler is the new IWC overrated wrestler? I mean he is good but damn some of these comments I've seen are reminding me of the whole Ken Kennedy deal 5 years ago.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. Ziggler has actually had some impressive performances.

What was your thoughts on TNA's attempt at a new Monday Night War and do you see them attempting it again?

 

[klunderbunker]

That it was dumb to be banking on the same guys that set up the Monday Night Wars 14 years ago against guys that weren't around 14 years ago. And no, not if they want to stay in business.

 

[The Bearded One]

One of the greatest DVD ever, correct>?

Also, you didn't watch ROH TV this week did you? The production was worlds better, which isn't really saying much. It looked like an actual professional company, unlike what they've been showing. The lighting in particular was top notch and looked really good. They were also in a pretty cool little arena as well.

 

[klunderbunker]

No I didn't. They lost me probably permantly.

Hey KB, where do you think Chris Benoit would be today? How many belts would he have held and what company would he be with?

IMO, I bet still with WWE. Considering he was supposed to win the ECW Championship the day of the incident, he might have been in a veteran role helping to get younger guys over, but I'm sure a spot would have opened up for him on SmackDown or RAW eventually. He could have made an awesome opponent for Daniel Bryan, especially considering Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko were Daniel Bryan's biggest inspirations to his earlier style before, of course, integrating more MMA- and Japanese-inspired techniques.

Remember Shelton Benjamin's mom from like 2007 or something? You like that storyline? Would you be interested in seeing it rehashed on another superstar today?

 

[klunderbunker]

Benoit would be 44 at this point so he'd probably be either retired or putting people over. I've heard a rumor saying he was supposed to take over developmental.

It was ok but it crippled Shelton.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Has anyone ever tapped to the Rock's Sharpshooter?

 

[klunderbunker]

Officially Foley. I think Regal did once.

 

[CleverName51]

For the Rock's sharpshooter, House Shows in 2001, he got Booker T to tap.


Also, do you ever think Miz could turn into an effective face, if so, how?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sure. Grow a backbone.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

What can cause another boom period for wrestling like the AE and Hogan years?

 

[klunderbunker]

Time. It's not a one shot thing.

 

[This Is My Name Thank You]

Who does/did the best sharpshooter in wrestling.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

No I mean how can wrestling be propelled into the mainstream again? What can cause it? More celebrity crossovers? A wrestler running for president while active?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bret.

No not celebrity crossovers. Those things rarely work and especially given what passes for a celebrity though.

What's going to work (in theory) is giving people something worth watching. WWE has no idea what it wants to be right now. Is it comedy? Action? Athletics? Drama? I don't think they know. Things can be fixed but it's going to take time.

 

[This Is My Name Thank You]

I'm not sure if you are a fan of TNA or not but I'll ask anyway. Do you think Jim Corrnete (spelling) could of made TNA a better product if he had stuck around longer without the bs from back stage?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yes. Having a guy there that knows what wrestling is and how it works *glares at Vince Russo* is always a good thing. Cornette knows how to build a story without insanity and that's a great skill to have.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Cornette himself is a little, insane. But his RF stories are brilliant, still have to listen to it completely.

Anyway, do you really think WWE needs fixing? Why?

 

[This Is My Name Thank You]

You really do have a good mind for wrestling. I read your reviews since I barley watching wrestling nowadays. Good stuff fo sure.

I got one more question since I don't want to waste your time.

What is your personal favorite era of wrestling and why?

 

[mrbrownstone]

Would you rather Jericho/Punk and Taker/HHH or Jericho/Taker and Punk/HHH for Mania?

Needs it? No. Could use it? Yeah to an extent.

Late 80s WWF. I like how things looked, the crowds were hot, the story of Hogan vs. Andre and the fallout arguably runs in one continuous story from the day Hogan wins the title until Wrestlemania 5 (so not all of it would fit in that time frame but you get the idea) and everything was just awesome.

Would you rather Jericho/Punk and Taker/HHH or Jericho/Taker and Punk/HHH for Mania?

If I had to pick one, the latter, just so I don't have to hear everyone overrated Taker vs. HHH III.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Do you think CM Punk has a good chance of winning the Rumble this year?
