How long do you think Antonio Cesaro will hold the title?

Few months probably.

I read that they might have the rematch between Lesnar and Triple H at Hell in a Cell. I think it'd be sweet to see those two fight in a cell.

What do you think?

I can't stand the idea of having Cell matches scheduled for one time in the year. Also for a guy who only wrestles occasionally, this would be HHH's second Cell match in less than 8 months. That's some overkill to put it mildly.

Do you think the use of 'part-timers' in any way weakens the rest of the roster?

What I mean is, Brock Lesnar returns and fights Cena and Triple H (with a little HBK on the side), Undertaker only fights HHH and HBK four years in a row. The rock in a similar way spending a year focused on Cena (though i do admit theres been a move from that recently). Focusing on each other and Cena, to me it reduces the rep of guys like Sheamus, supposedly a top wrestler in WWE (he has the belt) and yet nobody wants a piece? Undertaker, brock, rock, nobody cares for sheamus, and barely for CM Punk... It bugs me. Am i losing it, or is it widening the gap??

Here's an experiment. I'll give you three sets of matches. For each set of three, which do you think will make the average fan hand over their money as fast as they can get it out of their wallets?

Cena vs. Taker
Cena vs. Del Rio
Cena vs. Sheamus

Taker vs. Lesnar
Taker vs. Ziggler
Taker vs. Bryan

Rock vs. HHH
Rock vs. Barrett
Rock vs. Miz

I'm 99% sure you know the answer already, but it's Cena/Taker, Taker/Lesnar, Rock/HHH and it isn't even close. MAYBE Rock/Miz is close, but it's highly doubtful. It proves that part timers is a good thing.

But are there too many of them now, making it harder for the full time stars to get over? I mean right now in WWE there are 4 that seem to all be around at the same time. Rock, Taker, HHH, Lesnar. I like the part time guys, but having 4 of them at once (and 2 of them wrestling each other) seems to give each part timer less of an impact.

Rock vs. Cena and Taker vs. HHH drew the second largest audience in company history. I think they're doing fine.

I agree, but who's the part timers 15 years from now? Aside from Cena, there's no one that's a part-time Moneymaker like Taker or HHH (It's unfair to expect another Rock-type wrestler-turned A-List Hollywood guy). Having 3 of the 4 guys billed on a Mania card being a Part Timer, and one guy that's already at a level that would make him worthy of future Part-Time Status doesn't lend itself to having a fruitful business to have future Part-Timers.

Rock was still Rocky Maivia fifteen years ago and Austin was feuding for the IC Title. There's almost no way to tell.

I understand the money aspect.

It just makes me feel like sheamus is an even bigger step below HHH or anyone, and then question why, if HHH can still wrestle and he's so far above, that he doesnt have the title... Thats the mark in me though.

last question, which appeals to you more:
Lesnar v triple Double bill, or
Taker v Lesnar double bill... Lesnar wins first => WM rematch taker streak survives?

They don't need the double bill. Just do it once at Mania. Of those two though, Taker vs. Lesnar.

They dont need it, but they seem very open to having one.

I think until Taker loses a match badly (and lesnar being the strongest possibility to do so) that theres no doubt in anyones mind the streak will not prevail. I dont think it ever will be broken, but a bookies near mine was taking bets on WM last year, I missed out and I need that to be an option again.

 

[klunderbunker]

There's no reason to ever break the Streak. Once you break it, you can't put it back and you lose the co-main event of however many Wrestlemanias Taker has left in him, which based on his performances in them and having basically a year off other than one night, he could keep it going for years.

 

[Danger Burger]

Just dont tell my bookie and were cool.

 

[Remix]

The fuck were they thinking?

 

[klunderbunker]

It was NXT Season 3. Nothing was being thought of.

 

[Remix]

This was before NXT season 3. This was FCW. A time when there was exactly one black female on the roster. Does the surname "Night" not seem a little racist?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably but I don't think it was intentional.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Did Kane's segment in anger management top Mae Young's segment from Raw 1000?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah, although they were different kinds of bits.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Do you think it would be a good idea to rehire David Hart Smith so that they can bring back The Hart Dynasty? Tyson Kidd has nothing going and Natalya definitely has nothing going on, so what do they have to lose? The Tag Team Division future looks bright as Triple H is reportedly high on it and wants to push it in the right direction again. So bringing back a great tag team like The Hart Dynasty would be a valuable addition to the tag division again going forward under Triple H.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. The team was nothing special in the first place.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

If you were Triple H, which tag-teams would you be looking at bringing in to boost the division?

Also, what tag-teams would you create using members of the current roster?

 

[ChickenWaffles]

Did HHH retire for real?

I wouldn't bring anyone in. You have more than enough people already and throwing some of them together would fix a lot of those issues.

As for who, it's fine no matter who you throw together. Just give them a reason to be together and a name.

No you schmuck.

Interesting thought. I would personally like to see a couple of teams who are already experienced working together come in, definitely would be all for Haas/Benjamin returning as a team at some point, and I would have like the KOW to debut as a duo but with Claudio/Cesaro doing well in singles now, I can't see Hero/Ohno forming a team with him if and when he debuts.

So who would you like to see joining forces? I wouldn't be against a Mysterio/Sin Cara short term tag-team, that could be pretty cool. With Reks gone I would team Ryder/Hawkins up again- Ryder seems to be going nowhere fast right now but I'm struggling after that. Or Trent Barretta and Curt Hawkins?

Maybe throw Big Zeke back into a tag-team as he has nothing going on at all, perhaps with Barretta?

I haven't been wild on Ohno at all. That forearm doesn't work for me.

No one really pops into my head but anything that gets Trent Barretta on my screen is a good thing.
