It was a good match.....for Lethal. Never cared much for him.

It wasn't that people have won the triple crown. It's that the titles changed hands too often for my taste.

Thougths on Rollins mic skills?

Favorite jobber on WWE history?

After Ryback, who could be a challenge for Cena's title?

What I quit match was better:

Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA

or

Flair vs. Funk

I know that is a popular opinion in the old folks home these days. I am not sure if the amount of title changes is more damaging than long reigns that end with no real payoff. Aries beating Roode really did something for him. Punk's record reign didn't lead to anything. Those Cena/Batista injury ended reigns are arguably a large factor in the lack of stars in WWE. RVD ending AJ's reign was pretty pointless too.

He's fine.

Horowitz.

Shield.

My problem with the people having a high amount of title reigns is it takes away any specialness of them. WHen Cena won the title at Mania for like the 14th time, it's hard to get excited. When he does it for the second or third time, it's still interesting.

Are Beer Money, Edge & Christian and to a lesser degree The Hardys (I think you can throw the Dudleys in there as well) the only tag teams to not have a 'Jannety' per se.

 

[klunderbunker]

Again, the term should be Neidhart, not Jannetty.

As for the answer: Anderson and Blanchard, the Outsiders and Sting/Luger if you want to stretch.

 

[Alex]

Being a young un' why should it be Neidhart??

Is it because he didn't do anything after The Hart Foundation??

Jannetty had two tag titles, the Intercontinental Title and the match of the year in 1993. What did Neidhart ever accomplish?

 

[El Rev sXe]

How could it work Shield challenging Cena and could it work?

 

[klunderbunker]

Three straight PPVs with a member challenging him. It would work fine.

 

[Vega]

Does the third contender win the title, possibly creating envy in the group and keeping their story in the main event for a longer time?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd hope so yeah.

I don't think number matters that much if the story is solid. Holding the title long for the sake of holding the title long isn't any better than the alternative. If the champ automatically holds the title for a certain amount of time then those wins aren't special either. Does this mean you are finally starting to understand why people are sick of Cena?

$72 million for Wrestlemania 29 would suggest otherwise.

I saw your post about people forgetting older wrestling, namely WCW.

How many percent of the average WWE arena audience could name let's say six WCW champions?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sting
Flair
Booker T
Goldberg
Hogan

Uh..........

Not a high number I wouldn't think. Hopefully at least half but I doubt it.

 

[Vega]

I just sporcled the WCW title reigns in order. What would you guess was the average WCW title reign length from Starrcade 1997 onwards? And how many times was the title vacated you'd think?

 

[klunderbunker]

Unfortunately, not that long. Let me think. The longest would have been.....Goldberg I guess at 6 and a half months, so I'd bet on the average reign being something like three weeks. As for being vacated, probably at least 6.

 

[Vega]

A bit more, 33 days, 9 vacations. Two thirds of WCW title reigns happened after Starrcade 97. Yeah, Goldberg had the longest reign, Steiner's and Booker's were over 100 days, too (although Booker's was in WWF).

Just trying Intercontinental reigns in order. That's hard. (http://www.sporcle.com/games/RoaringElbow/100ICchamps)

 

[klunderbunker]

134/136. I ran out of time.

 

[Vega]

Forgot about Venis. Would've forgotten the Rikishi, Albert and so on reigns anyway.

Who said all people? You are the one that said it was hard to get excited. Since when are you afraid to admit how you feel?

I'm not. I'm thinking that most people who are sick of Cena are either stupid or have no idea what they're talking about.

 

[Vega]

Aren't that two different concepts? I'm sick of Justin Bieber, but I'm not denying he's making massive business in his target demography. Not liking the most mainstreamy style has nothing to do with accepting it'll make most money.
