What was the wcw power plant

Did heath Slater take some rough bumps last night

Thoughts on the JR/Paul Heyman broadcast team for most of 2001?

 

[klunderbunker]

A badly run training facility. They're the people who told Batista he had no future in wrestling.

Indeed.

Not bad but as usual Heyman gets too much credit.

What is your prediction for the WHC match at Extreme Rules?

Why did wcw say stone cold was a midcard at best? Or something like that

Ziggler retains.

Because Eric Bischoff has a poor eye for wrestling talent. Austin was in black trunks, was starting to rebel against tradition and respect, and swore a lot. That isn't marketable though right? Bischoff also had a guy named Jean-Paul Levesque under contract. Bischoff saw him as a tag team guy and fired him when Jean-Paul protested. He got a job with the WWF and was named Hunter Hearst Helmsley. That name was deemed too long, so it was eventually shortened to HHH.

Now if you want to get into some semi-conspiracy theories, the other idea is that Hogan showed up and all of a sudden, guys like Austin and Cactus Jack were seen as "having no future" and were replaced by Hogan friends Paul Orndorff and Brutus Beefcake. The other theory is Hogan knew he couldn't hang with these young guys so he got rid of them.

All credit to Slater for those bumps though right? That's why we love him, he's a fucking nutcase.

Yeah they were good.

Why are Samoan wrestlers so popular in professional wrestling

Simple ideas and characters can often work. The Samoan is a good example. That and there are a ton of them.

what was the point of the hardcore and cruiserweight championships?

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

why does the shield wrestle in so many dark matches?

 

[klunderbunker]

To give the fans something different.

why does the shield wrestle in so many dark matches?

It sends the fans home happy to see them get beaten up.

cesaro, rhodes, sandow, kingston, miz, barrett.... Mid-Carders for life?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not for life but for the time being.

Between 1997 and 2011, Dave Meltzer didn't give a single WWE match 5 stars. Which ones in that time actually deserve the top grade?

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Who in WWE do you think could use a manager and doesn't already have one?

Your thoughts in general on Heath Slater? Mainly if you think he has any star potential?

 

[The Quiet One]

Long time follower of this thread KB, loads of good questions and answers (good work!). Couple of questions (sorry if they've been asked before)....

Do you think we'll get another Cena/Lesnar match before Lesnar leaves again?

What do you think of Wade Barrett? I know a lot of people are fans but I just can't see it. Admittedly, I never saw the initial Nexus story on RAW (but I hear he was at his most impressive) so maybe my judgement is clouded but I feel like a lot of the time he just seems really flat. Just wondering what you thought?

Yes he did.

No one springs to mind.

He's a great seller but he needs a new name.

Good chance I think.

He's booked HORRIBLY and it drags him way down.

 

[The Quiet One]

Good chance I think.

I hope so, last year I thoroughly enjoyed the build-up and the match they put together. Just another quick one on Lesnar, do you think it would be a waste of his available dates if they were to put him against a Big Show/Mark Henry (they would have to give any of his potential opponents a few consecutive PPV wins before the Lesnar match to make them appear like a legit threat to Lesnar). Henry was the one I had in mind mainly. Or should he be saved just for your Cena's, HHH's and other top draw performers?

 

[klunderbunker]

Right now putting him against ANYONE other than HHH would be an improvement and less of a waste, so I'd be fine with either of those guys.

Was the two man power trip vs the Canadian Chris' the best tag match ever?

If Dynamite Kid had stayed around do you think he would have been in Bulldog's spot or at least had a big singles run?

If Dynamite Kid was born 20 years later could he have been a world champion in todays product?

When the Shield came down to attack HHH did you think that he would be revealed as their leader?

When did all of this nut hugging of CM Punk start?

 

[future admin]

Do you ever see Cody Rhodes being majorly pushed?

Up there.

No.

No.

No.

The minute he started saying he was the best in the worl, because the IWC loves to be lead around by the nose.

Do you ever see Cody Rhodes being majorly pushed?

Not for a long time.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Do you think the outsiders were a decent tag-team?

 

[klunderbunker]

That would be an understatement.

What is the greatest triple threat match you've seen?

Do you think TLC Matches work for 1 on 1 matches?
