Not incredibly. The Stooges scare me.

Maybe Lesnar will give all three of the stooges the F-5 at the same time. Would you like that? I'd like that.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. Keep them apart.

Could Ric Flair return to the WWE in a managerial role such as the greats like Bobby Heenan or Jimmy Hart, and pull it off without stealing the limelight from the wrestlers?

If so, who would benefit from such a rub?

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it. It wouldn't be easy and managers don't mean much anymore.

You don't think he could pull off another Four Horsemen style stable? Hand pick four guys, manage them, etc?

It could but I'm not sure if I'd want to see it. It didn't go that well with Fortune, but that's TNA and they can't really be competent. At the end of the day, I don't know how much more an endorsement from Flair means. Also, the biggest issue with guys today is they don't get practice on the mic. They need to actually get time to speak for themselves rather than having someone else do it for them.

 

[Diet Soda]

Well, I had in mind that Flair would be able to make managers mean something again, that's why I mentioned Heenan and Hart, and not Vickie Guerrero or Armando Estrada, as Flair could easily be at that top level. Just think of the boost it would give some of the younger superstars who we've been told are supposedly the 'future' of WWE.

Also, with mic skills practice doesn't always make perfect, eg. Randy Orton.

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh maybe but again, the point of having a manager is for them to enhance the other guys. I'm not sure how much of that Flair can do.

On a scale from 1-10, how bad was Raw in 2003?

 

[klunderbunker]

-16.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I've been reading Scott Keith's reviews on Raw in 2003 and I haven't found anything redeeming about that year. They screwed up so many things including Goldberg and Kane it is unbelievable.

I'm sure plenty. First of all Flair's the 'dirtiest player in the game', he could use every pseudo-heelish tactic in the book to get his client a victory. And this would work for both heels and faces.
Secondly, if Flair is picking his own proteges as Big Nick suggested, he could use them as an extension of his own 'Nature Boy' gimmick, giving a bit of style to wrestlers who are otherwise fairly bland.

 

[klunderbunker]

I get that, but we've seen it. A lot. I'm over Flair at this point and have very little desire to see him.

 

[Diet Soda]

So in your view Flair would hinder, rather than help, stars from potentially breaking out?

 

[klunderbunker]

To an extent yeah. At the end of the day the spotlight is going to be on Flair, which defeats the point.

Is it just me, or does Santino get "main event" level pops?

He had the crowd eating out of his hand with Bryan in the Chamber, and seems to get massive reactions when he enters.

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't know about that. The problem is you don't want to elevate him too far, or those pops will vanish.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Were you a fan of the Nation of Domination? If so would you like to see a new Nation of Domination?

 

[klunderbunker]

It wasn't bad. And no.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

WWE always makes cuts right after WrestleMania, so who do you think WWE should release this year?

 

[klunderbunker]

JTG, just so I don't have to listen to him butcher the English language anymore.

So, quick first impressions of Damien Sandow? And what's your opinion on Ryback/Skip Sheffield

 

[klunderbunker]

Sandow is interesting, Sheffield looks fairly boring.

Did WWE take a risk with signing Lesnar again? I mean we can't forget how he left in the first place with that incredible Mania XX match , who is to say he won't pull something like that again?
