Do you wish that Undertaker would have fought either Stone Cold, The Rock, or Mankind at Wrestlemania?

Nah not really. He only had good chemistry with Mankind out of those three.

Once the Attitude Era brought a sense of realism to wrestling, was that the end of cartoony characters forever in the WWE? Not comedic characters, but cartoony.

To add in to that it would have been obvious Mankind would lose... HIAC anybody?

Also, he had GREAT chemistry with Austin. I remember one of their matches, Summerslam 98/97, for Austin's title: Helluva match. 'Taker and Rocky had their moments in their tag matches as well. Rock 'n Sock vs Show and Taker were always good.

I'd think Uncensored 96 was. That main event was so bad and so stupid and so Super Hogan style that the fans more or less all said fuck this and the NWO and realism showed up three months later.

Summerslam 98 wasn't that good. It's ok at best.

You're probably right, last time I saw it was years ago. Anyway, they worked well together during the whole Ministry angle, and after Undertaker's gimmick change too.

Taker's head smacked Austin's chin and broke his jaw and knocked him out cold for a bit. Austin was off for the rest of the match.

You got me there. I guess it's just personal preference, I always liked watching them together.

 

[CH David]

Didn't Taker have a broken leg or something in that match too?

 

[klunderbunker]

Ankle or something I think.

 

[The Holy One]

Favorite AJ Styles match?

 

[klunderbunker]

vs. Abyss at the first Lockdown. Great match.

 

[The Holy One]

Yes it was, I would go with the Ultimate X match from Final Resolution 2005 myself.

KB...do you think WWE could benefit from having some against the grain type girls in terms of looks and styles instead of the same Barbie doll blond, petite they seem to have on there now, at least until Phoenix gets back? Like a harken back to the Lita, Jazz, Jacqueline, Ivory, Nidia (REAL women figures, and some that were tatted all up as well..) or do you think WWE and their standards would not allow for that right now and that its possibly a superficial thing for the time being, even if the girl could wrestle, its going to be if they could market her?

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Favorite Triple Threat Match?

This is what was fired from WWE for not looking the way Vince wanted them to:

To them, that is unattractive or not attractive enough. Would it help to have more realistic looking girls? Yes it would. Will it ever happen? Not in a million years.

Favorite Triple Threat Match?

Considering I hate them, we'll go with Backlash 06 because I was there: HHH vs. Edge vs. Cena. From a quality standpoint, Mania 20 is hard to beat.

 

[The Crock]

Best technically wrestled match ever?

 

[klunderbunker]

Hard to argue against Savage vs. Steamboat. I need to watch Steamboat vs. Flair's trilogy again though as those might change my answer.

What do you look for in a high quality match?

EDIT: Please be specific.

I love those matches. I think Pillman vs Liger at Superbrawl II deserves a mention, so does Jericho vs Benoit from the '95 Super J Cup.

 

[klunderbunker]

What do you look for in a high quality match?

I look for things making sense. Why does someone do the things they do? I look for moves being crisp and flowing. I look for a story being told. I look for things that are exciting. I look for moves and spots not being repeated. I look for a nice pace. Granted a lot of these things can be meshed together.

What did you think about the Sting/Vampiro feud?

 

[klunderbunker]

More overblown Russo crap that made no sense and relied too much on bringing in other names that are supposed to impress us without telling us why we should be impressed.

Is The Rock the Greatest Promo Man of All Time and If Not then Who Is?
