What do you think about TNA having a HOF now? And who do you think will be the first inductee?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's fine, but if the first name isn't Jarrett or Styles, I have no use for it.

I know he wouldn't be the first inductee named but do you think Jerry Jarrett will be an inductee this year? He should as he was one of the founders of TNA.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I'd be fine with that. I don't think it's going to be like WWE though with 7-8 people a year.

Probably a minimum of 4-5 people.

Punk is scheduled to wrestle Big Show at SummerSlam. What do you think of that? It was going to be Tensai vs. Punk but Tensai is going to be repackaged now.

 

[klunderbunker]

That I really hope Show doesn't get the title.

He looked a lot better this time. I was pleased for what I saw.

Cute.

Regarding that match, what do you think of Heath Slater? Do you see him ever getting out of the jobber scene?

 

[klunderbunker]

With a name like Heath Slater and the One Man Southern Rock Band, no.

You made a post in a thread that I tried replying to but it kept giving me errors so I copied and pasted your post here. Now I'll reply to it.

First off, suggesting that Austin and HHH made it on their own. Austin had one great promo, did nothing for four to five months and then got to feud with Bret because Bret pushed very hard to feud with him. Once that happened, yeah Austin took off but without Bret and the right kind of timing, it wouldn't have happened.

HHH is hilarious given his backstage connections, and you know I'm not talking about Stephanie.

As for pushing young guys, Hogan's first world title came at 30, Austin's at 33, Cena at a few weeks shy of 28, Bret at 34, Shawn at 31, Sting at 31, Foley at 33 and HHH at 30. The only huge names that I can think of that are younger than that are Undertaker (for 6 days) Rock, who won it at 26.

As for the rest of it, there is no other place to work anymore, unless you count ROH and it's rare for someone to come out of there and come to WWE. It's a different world than when Heyman was coming up. There aren't multiple companies where you can make your name. It's more or less WWE or in some instances TNA, but as you know, the majority of the time in TNA, it's ex-WWE guys that get pushed harder.

His idea has good intentions behind it, but it isn't practical.

No offense dude because I like you, you're a cool dude but it's pretty ridiculous to think you know more about the business then Paul Heyman, none of us knows the full inside scoop or these people personally. One interesting thing I heard in a recent shoot interview is that nobody gets themselves over, so each and every top guy had to have help getting over, but it takes that person's hard work, dedication, etc. to reach the top. While fans might look down on ROH or TNA for various reasons they are still viable work options for these guys despite not being in WWE's league. And as for ROH stars going to WWE, 2 of WWE's current top stars came from there and have had more fame then any former ECW star with the exception of RVD and maaaaaaybe the Dudleys.

 

[klunderbunker]

Simply because Heyman is in the business doesn't mean he's making sense here. Second, if you buy a shoot interview at face value, I've failed as a teacher. Having hard work and dedication is one thing, but if you're not chosen as a guy to get pushed, you're not going anywhere. As for Bryan and Punk, yeah they did get over huge. That's two out of how many guys from ROH and TNA?

I read what caused Orton's second wellness policy violation. Orton was fined for smoking marijuana and suspended for steroid use.

Thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not really surprising.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Five superstars you would like to see become face/heel?

 

[klunderbunker]

Ziggler
Swagger
Orton

That's all that pops to mind.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

This is the way you should bring in a superstar, the way they've done it with sandow. he is facing jobbers right now but on smackdown having him face a big guy like zeke was actually a great idea.

Thoughts?

 

[PlayTheGame]

What should be done with Tensai at this point? Fed to Ryback?

They're called jobbers to the stars for a reason. It was fine.

Changing him up would help a lot. There's nothing to him other than he's Albert but now Japanese. Give us a backstory and for the love of all things good and holy MAKE HIM GO FASTER. Also don't have a guy that boring go over your two top names. That was a mistake. he can be fixed still, but it'll take some major tweaks.

I'm just saying, he doesn't seem like just another guy they're trying to have win matches. especially on smackdown when he faced big zeke. the promos he cuts are AMAZING too and I must say he's really growing on me.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

I wanted to get in on this. I think they should bump him down to FCW, give the character a complete rehaul, and maybe bump him back up when all of the kinks have been worked out.

the problem is he's not getting over as a heel to me. I agree with 99% of what he says.

What is your opinion on Daniel Bryan?
