As such an expert, I do think it's stale but having Brie get attacked isn't going to do much. Bryan pinned Kane so why do I need to watch them fight again?

Is it just me, or did Ambrose play the part of a sympathetic babyface really, really well when Evolution were beating him up at Extreme Rules?

People talk about Ambrose being a heel when he leaves the Shield, but he's certainly got a babyface side to him.

 

[klunderbunker]

He's rather likeable. THat's a sign of a talented guy.

If you were Jeff Jarrett, which 10 free agents (male or female) would you try to sign for Global Force Wrestling?

And which announce team?

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't do top 10s.

The problem is there really aren't that many free agents out there worth signing. You need someone that people will care about while also not spending a fortune on them. Taht's a hard thing to find anymore as you don't want to look like a third rate place where people who can't get a job in WWE or TNA can go.

As for commentary, someone young who can get the crowd into a match with their energy but doesn't go into a bunch of jokes. Probably someone who hasn't been in wrestling before or at least that much.

Other than at SummerSlam 97 when both Sable and Sunny were part of some sort of giveaway, where Sable and Sunny ever involved in any sort of story or angle?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not really as their times didn't really match up.

 

[Danger Burger]

Pre-neck break Austin match recommendation, please?

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

What was Steve Austin up to in the WWF between winning the King of the Ring and his Survivor Series match against Bret Hart?

 

[klunderbunker]

Anything from the Dangerous Alliance
Any match against Steamboat
Survivor Series 1996

Feuding with Brian Pillman.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

Jim Ross talked about ROH in his most recent podcast and one of his critiques was that the wrestlers are doing too much in matches and the tempo of most matches is too fast.


What do you think about the pacing of ROH matches and the pacing of wrestling matches in general in regard to how they affect the overall show?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'll buy that. There's not enough time for stories to form because they're worried the fans are going to get bored because wrestling fans have no patience.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Do you think JR can be called overrated as far as commentating? Cause really all of I can think about JR's commentating is Slobberknocker and Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!

 

[klunderbunker]

It's not that he's overrated or great. It's that he's much better than most of his peers.

How do you feel about the late Gordon Solie?

 

[DarksideEric]

Who has the most submission victories in WCW and WWE?

How do you think Savage would have continued in WWE if he had never gone to WCW, especially if he hadn't gone to commentary or came back full time from it?

What was the ideal number of wrestlers for the nWo to stay at to remain powerful for a long time without becoming over inflated?

 

[Alex]

Why does there seem to be an abundance of one name wrestlers??
I mean I get it for gimmick characters but just calling them Cesaro, Rusev, Bram, Knux etc seems silly

 

[Danger Burger]

Ever here the peculiar story of Kane's seven years bad luck?

He breaks a mirror before the unmasking match with trips, loses the match and does nothing great for a long while. Six years and 364 days later, he lost a one-on-one match to CM Punk on SmackDown (06/22/10). Straight after this, he suddenly gets on the upswing, goes on a big win-streak (including three in a row against Taker) and scoops up the Title on his way.

I doubt very much this was a seven year booking plan, but its a little cool, no?

Very good but dry.

Probably Bret Hart and Ric Flair.

He'd have gotten another World Title and likely feuded with Bret and Shawn, which I believe was the plan.

Like 6 max.

It's easy to say and put on a t-shirt.

Anything that lasts that long in wrestling isn't planned in advance.

 

[Барбоса]

What do you think is the longest planned angle in wrestling?

 

[klunderbunker]

As in something they knew was coming down the line but didn't reference or something that had seeds planted the whole way?

 

[Барбоса]

The whole way.

A planned angle rather than say a plan for Wrestler A to be in the main event of Wrestlemania.

 

[klunderbunker]

Off the top of my head, the Mega Powers exploding. That match was carved into stone for Wrestlemania V before Savage won the title and you could argue the build started the moment Savage debuted in 1985.

There's also Hogan vs. Andre but that was more like a mystery where you got all the answers at the end rather than seeing it coming.

 

[DarksideEric]

Worst referee botch?

Worst overall referee?

I just watched the Wrestlemania rewind for Savage vs. DiBiase. Would it have meant more to Savage if Hogan hadn't gotten involved or would the win have pretty much been on the same level?

I also watched '96 Fall Brawl (as I've never seen a Fall Brawl War Games), do the matches normally end on just one fall? It seemed out that a single submission ended a 4v4 match like that.

 

[klunderbunker]

Nick Patrick at Starrcade 1997.

Anytime Jacqueline decided she was going to be one because it wasn't just a man's job.

It needed Hogan to set up Wrestlemania V.

Always one fall to a finish. If you want a good one, check out either one from WrestleWar 1991 or 1992.
