Tony Atlas was pretty awesome back in the early 80s. He and/or Rocky Johnson could have gotten a shot at Sheik if they hadn't brought Hogan back.

Oh and Bad News Brown. That guy was 10 years ahead of his time.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah I'm a 90's kid. I know all of those people, but I don't think I've ever actually seen any of them in action.

Picture this:

A guy from Harlem, bald head, deep voice, Eric Young beard, talks about how the white people hold down him and his brothers, does the Black Power salute, and is the most successful American heavyweight judoka ever. Think he and Austin could have a good feud?

 

[Nate DaMac]

That sounds... pretty sweet actually.

If you look back in the history of the WWE, and really wrestling in general there have never really been many African American stars. Almost everyone of them that got over got a run with a title at some point though.

Bad News Brown wasn't really a great wrestler or much interested in wresling from what I've heard. The similarity with Austin in terms of the gimmick is there though.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I was a big Lashley mark, not one of many. I'm just a sucker for big guys with some crazy agility.

In his YouShoot Tony Atlas said that when he was watching Hogan beat the Iron Sheik on the monitor back stage Vince walked up to him and said "If it weren't for [Atlas' drug use], that'd be you out there." Imagine how wrestling would be different if that was how it happened.

I forgot to mention that he would regularly walk out on his heel partners and beat them up on occasion. He and Savage had a great street fight with tables being used in the 80s.

You've never seen his Stampede stuff have you?

If it happened that is.

Brown's finisher was basically a running cartwheel kick/enziguri called the Ghetto Blaster. That work?

Lashley did have the ECW title twice and was in the WM main event with Vince and Trump. I'd equate that to a world title push.

No, I haven't. I've heard that he had a great ladder match with Bret over there.

He was a shell of himself in WWF. It's not a comparison that can be made.

Some sites are reporting Anti Cena signs were confiscated last night what i don't get is they are selling "Cena sucks" T-shirts and in the Cena/Kane PPV promo it focuses on Anti Cena signs.

Do you have any idea why they would do that it just seems really weird?

 

[klunderbunker]

WWE is looney?

 

[Martin Gabriel]

What is your thoughts on Bryan vs. Sheamus at WM?

 

[klunderbunker]

That I hope they don't throw Orton in.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

What should Orton do then?

 

[klunderbunker]

Anything other than win another title. I like Orotn but let Smackdown get another star.

 

[Nate DaMac]

So be honest, Santino being in the Chamber match wasn't half bad, was it?

 

[klunderbunker]

No, and if you read my Smackdown review, I said it might not be.

 

[BaconBits]

If you could see any past star return, who would it be?

 

[klunderbunker]

Assuming you mean ones that actually could, Brock I guess.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

What was the last PPV main event for you that had that big match feel and i mean BIG match feel?

 

[Johnny Scumm]

If the WWE wanted to take Santino seriously from now on, having the comedy edge, where would he go?
