Is there any chance of some title changes at MITB this Sunday and if so .. who?

 

[klunderbunker]

Ziggler and Henry might win but I doubt both.

 

[Underfaker]

Will big show return as a face or a heel?

 

[klunderbunker]

You can flip a coin and have a better idea. He turns every month anyway.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Why do you think MITB should not exist?

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

ADR LOOKS like a World Heavyweight Champion doesn't he?

I mean I saw him do his promo against Punk in that suit and by god he just brought this style and swagger to the whole appeal of being a Heavyweight Champion. I know we live in a world that had the spinner belt for 8 years and our guy is in camo shorts and stuff, but how much does it really matter? How elegant the champ looks? Bockwinkel, Flair, Rogers; all thems added to the flaunt of being THE guy right?

It's a cheap way to get a title on someone instead of building a guy up.

It can help a lot. He needs about 10x more character depth though

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

That he does, and you know I've been one of ADR's biggest admirers here (moreso for his great ring work). but why isn't he improving on the mic?

Miz did in his 3 years. Is ADR complacent where he is?

"Hey Del Rio you're supposed to appeal to the latinos so no speak good english comprende?" Is that how that backroom meeting went?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably something like that.

The problem with Del Rio is we never see him do anything with his character. He's rich and occasionally throws a fiesta, but that's it. Seriously, what else does he spend money on? Ricardo? So it's a party every six months and a servant. If you're going to be a rich character, go all out with it. Have him hire goons to help him win or use his money to influence decisions or show him out of the arena being rich.

Or geez go the other way with it and have him brag about being rich and show him shopping at a dollar store. Do SOMETHING though.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Thats what made sense about JBL and his cabinet. Goons.

He needs to stop being around the title picture. And really creative needs to give him a personal feud. Swagger breaking Ricardo's ankle did show that ADR is capable of emotions and shit.


Remember how good the JBL/Punk SES feud was? You can't do Punk with ADR now coz Punk would verbally rape his character. But have Del Rio do something like try and bribe Maddox or have him buy WWE stock and say how he is close to being an executive member of the board or something like that.


I do get the impression that ADR is happy where he is. He is getting all the titles and attention now, but do we really think he'll be as big as he can be if he was better on the mic and had much more to his gimmick?

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

What's the Over/Under on Dirtsheet Reports claiming Randy Orton is going out with Stacy Keibler? Since both are now, conveniently single.

He could be a bit bigger but he's reaching his plateau.

After that RKO in 2005? Not likely.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

It's a cheap way to get a title on someone instead of building a guy up.

But it is possible to use it whilst building someone up (Edge, Miz) or using it to grant someone a title shot they deserve rather than jump through the usual hoops (RVD, possibly Bryan this year)?

The latter is fine, but it's happened I think twice out of 15 or so times so it's barely an option.

Fair enough.
On a stranger subject, who is the most legitimately terrifying pro wrestler of all time. Whether it be for gimmick reasons or for stories outside the ring or even exploits inside the ropes?

 

[klunderbunker]

As a cheap answer, Benoit.

As the answer you're probably looking for, Haku or Bad News Brown are considered the toughest guys ever. Corporal Kirschner (80s military guy) was known as being so stiff in the ring that he was fired because no one would work with him.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

In a real 1 on 1 fight, which WWE superstar on the current roster would whip the most ass?

 

[klunderbunker]

Brock Lesnar by miles and miles.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

After giving some thought to the question of wrestler with thd greatest string of match of the yeads in the WWE I setteled on Bret Hart with a list that looks like this:

92: vs Bulldog
93: any match from the KOTR
94: Either match vs Owen
95: vs Diesel at Survivor Series
96: vs Shawn Michales
97: vs Austin

What I would like to ask is if there's another wrestler with a similar or better list? And also if I am off bass on Bret here or would you agree?

 

[klunderbunker]

Shawn in the mid to late 2000s could give him a run for his money.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Did you find it funny in Beyond the Mat that Paul Heyman was doing ECW promos/advertisements in his mothers house?

 

[klunderbunker]

Indeed. I thought that was an urban legend.

 

[Danger Burger]

Indeed. I thought that was an urban legend.

You've surely read Mick Foley's books, have you not, klunderbunker? He talks about it a good bit.

 

[klunderbunker]

I've read the first two and Countdown to Lockdown. I need to read Hardcore Diaries.

 

[Danger Burger]

What's your take on the new performance centre?

Do you think if could be used to fill a void that has been somewhat missing since the territories died? That is, a genuine training ground for superstars (Christ, even I'm saying it now, I meant wrestlers), rather than a simple hopeful plunge from a wrestling school to the indies?

Will those training here only be those selected by the WWE, or more like a focused gym with classes, etc. that can be signed up to? If it's the former, will they be contracted? Or even paid?
