[Mr. Artistic guy]

It's over FIVE THOUSAAAAAND. Ahem.

Do you see Sheamus revisit the old habit of challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship this year around, and do you expect he will win? Or is it too early to say?

 

[klunderbunker]

Too early to say.

Who's the most inexplicably popular guy in wrestling history? The guy who you just look at and think "how the hell did they get over"?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I think Cody Rhodes has had some of the best character progression in WWE or any wrestling company for that matter. Do you agree?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sid.

Yeah but that'snot saying much.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

So in other words: good to great guy, but not one of the top elite guys, as I say every time this is brought up.

Yes, exactly. He was a proper upper midcarder who could hold the title for a long time and still be entertaining. I think he found a great gimmick and used it to showcase his oodles of charisma. But also I remember some of the promos he cut on the Chavos and Lesnar and they're intense and cracking as as any one of his hilarious stuff. I have always pipped him over Benoit because he was more entertaining. Even when both of them posed at the end of WM XX, I was more happy hat Eddie was there at the end of Mania in all honesty.


Ok enough of that from me.


One superstar whose career you would've loved to have followed as a kid.

 

[klunderbunker]

Not sure what you're asking.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

A superstar before you're time that you wish you had seen and followed growing up.


Like Flair for me in his NWA days. Admin I have a whole thread for this issue,

 

[klunderbunker]

I was always a fan of Pedro Morales so I would have liked to see him. Piper in the 80s would have been awesome too.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Sorry if it's been asked, but what are your thoughts on Edge going into the Hall this year?

Surely he's a deserving member, but is it too soon?

Also, I know you think the HoF is a joke, humor me.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm fine with it. He got hurt and isn't ever going to wrestle again. I heard Pete Rose say something that made a lot of sense once: if you're a Hall of Famer when you retire, you're a Hall of Famer 15 years after you retire. Why wait?

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah that makes sense. I guess my resistance just comes with him being the headliner for lack of a better term. Edge is one of my all time favorites, but looking at it objectively I'd have to put him as a 3rd or 4th tier star. In my head, there are bigger stars than Edge that should be up first but when I really think about it, the only guys that come to mind are Savage and Rock. Savage probably won't headline since he can't be there in person and I'm betting that Rock goes in next year if they can't convince him to have another match.

 

[Daniel]

Hogan vs. Flair at Wrestlemania 8 and Hogan vs. Austin at Wrestlemania 18. Both of these matches were supposed to happen but didn't because of egos and stuff.

Which one would you have preferred to see, and which one would've been bigger?

 

[klunderbunker]

Hogan vs. Austin in both.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Since Chris Jericho didn't win the Royal Rumble this year, do you think he ever will win it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably not.

 

[Remix]

This OVW guy who got signed, is he any good?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not much to see of him but I liked it so far.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Do you think The Undertaker will retire after WM this year?

 

[klunderbunker]

I see no reason for him not to, but since he more or less already is retired it doesn't make a difference.

Why did Val's main event push never work?

 

[klunderbunker]

Because he was a porn star character.

 

[Vega]

Would Art Barr have become a main eventer in WCW or WWF had he not died so damn young?

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it. Upper midcard probably. he would have had a leash on him in a major company.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Pillman, overrated or cut short?
