I realize that most of ECW was, in fact, shit, so here's a different question.

What was the best thing to come out of ECW?

 

[klunderbunker]

What are some good "documentary" style WWE DVDs? I've watched the CM Punk, Jericho, WCW Rise and Fall and nWo ones, anything else worth checking out?

The ECW one. It might be the best documentary they've ever produced.

Rob Van Dam. That's about it.

The commentators just hyped the fact that Dean Ambrose pinned the US champ. Discuss.

Good sign and Ambrose could make people care about the belt for a few minutes.

worst WWE PPV of all time?

December to Dismember by about a thousand miles.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Why was Test (Andrew Martin) in the Main Event of December to Remember?

Any logical means or was WWECW just throwing him in there?

 

[klunderbunker]

Just throwing him in. He replaced Sabu, which ticked off the ECW faithful.

 

[i'm a cm punk girl]

best match from the year you were born?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably Luger vs. FLair from Starrcade 88.

rob terry or langston?
should TNA bring crazy mickie back?

 

[klunderbunker]

Langston. He's hilarious on Twitter.

If the skirts come with her.

Who is Stan Hansen?

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Is part of the reason The Shield has been booked so strongly that WWE has no idea where they want to go with them yet? Basically, I'm wondering if you think that they keep doing the same thing over and over and over because there's no clear direction for them yet.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

What wrestler had the best vignette's building up their debut or re-branding?

 

[klunderbunker]

Who is Stan Hansen?

An absolutely insane cowboy character who would beat up anyone he felt like beating up. He had such a powerful clothesline finisher that his nickname became Lariat.

I don't think so no. I think they're the big summer angle.

if you count them as vignettes, probably Jericho's countdown to the millennium.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I don't think so no. I think they're the big summer angle.

So basically you're saying they're treading water until something big later. But at what point does it get old and repetitive? I've already started fast forwarding their handheld promos (assuming I'm not watching live) because they say the same things they said every other time.

And when would you see this angle unfolding? SummerSlam?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's shown no signs of getting repetitive yet so they're still good.

Whenever the Ryback feud wraps up.

Can Cesaro get back his steam?

 

[klunderbunker]

I've heard two answers to that:

1. They're afraid of stars becoming huge and then bailing for Hollywood or MMA, which is ridiculous as they're saying they don't want to make money off these guys because one day they might not be able to anymore, despite Austin and Rock bailing and WWE getting to make millions and millions off them in DVDs and vintage t-shirt sales.

2. They want to make them "prove their loyalty." Allegedly HHH thinks that since he was "buried" for years and came back strong, everyone should have to do that.

Why was Bob Holly such a dick?

 

[klunderbunker]

Some people just are. He was one of the bigger ones.

^Going off wrestlers acting like assholes, what other wrestlers are like that?

I know there is no end or start date but KB in your opinion when did the Attitude Era run?

 

[Remix]

MNM or Miz/Morrison?

 

[Prometheus]

Do you think the deliberate choice to rarely use the word "wrestling" on WWE TV is a good idea? I mean we all know that's what it is, and not saying the word doesn't hide the fact that it's still guys "fighting" in a ring. I think it's even the reason why commentators don't attempt to call matches with move names etc, but I could be reading too much into it.

Punk is a known jerk.

WM 13 - WM 17.

Miz/Morrison although Melina might tip it the other way.

Calling a show sports entertainment is a way for Vince to avoid admitting that he's a wrestling promoter. I don't think anyone but him cares though.
