There's a tiny opening left but if he doesn't get it at Takeover II then no there's no point.

What's your favourite stable vs. stable feud? Promotions vs. stables don't count (WCW vs. nWo, WWF vs. The Alliance etc.). An actual stable vs. stable rivalry.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I've not kept myself up to date with his status but is Daniel Bryan still due to be back for SummerSlam?

Was Kane the best person available for Reigns' first solo feud given that they didn't want to shoot their load with Reigns - HHH? If not, who?

Not much of a question but of the Wyatts, I find myself preferring Luke to Rowan and Bray. This seems odd as Bray built himself a great presence with Cena and their feud while Luke was throwing some wee Samoans around.
OK so there is a question; was Bray's popularity with the crowd in his feud with Cena down to Cena's personality more than Bray's? In that people like to cheer against Cena rather than cheering for his opponent. (If that makes sense?)

Nation vs. DX.

No.
Not terrible but Orton would have been better.
No. The loss at Wrestlemania just crippled him.

Why were there so many WWF Championship Title changes in 1999? I believe there was 11.

How would you book Roman Reigns from today until WrestleMania 31? (Assuming that Reigns is the projected #1 guy to replace Cena)

 

[klunderbunker]

Russo.

Have him squash Miz for the Intercontinental Title and then have him hold it until some Authority issue causes him drop it without losing it.

Could you see Rhino being of use in TNA or would he be more of a dead weight??

I mean Snitsky and Ezekiel Jackson are pretty much worthless but I think they could get some mileage out of Rhino

 

[Uncle Sam]

There's a tiny opening left but if he doesn't get it at Takeover II then no there's no point.

Should he win at Takeover II, who would you have him feud with? Surely the idea of him versus Neville again bores you - relatively speaking, of course - as much as it does me.

They could but it's VERY limited mileage. Rhino is a decent midcard feud though.

For the most part yeah as neither would be a good heel. Sami has always been best against power guys so maybe Ascension or a very quick feud with Dempsey?

Just read your latest Thunder review.

"There are two other wrestling companies?".....Here's the obvious question: Is Tony Schiavone the most idiotic person the World has ever had the misfortune to have spawned on it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not at all. Listen to his stuff from before the NWO and you'll hear a perfectly fine commentator. Bischoff ruined him and Tony just stopped caring at all.

Maybe that's the problem: I only really remember him from after the NWO arrival. I always liked his delivery but he was using it to deliver some of the most mind-numbingly stupid crap I've ever heard out of an announcer. Again, though, this was after the NWO arrival so I can't speak fairly about prior to that. What happened? Was Sleezy E feeding him his lines or something?

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh yeah. Check out Starrcade 1995 if you want to hear what Tony is capable of.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Schiavonne and Ross were contenders for the head booker spot before Bischoff leapfrogged them. Ross went to the WWF and Schiavonne just stopped giving a shit.

 

[Lee]

Will King's commentary role hurt his legacy as a wrestler? Should he have stopped commentary about 10 years ago? To me he always seems like he's reading and doesn't care.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. His legacy as a wrestler was pretty much done by the time he got to WWF.

I'm fine with him. He may be old and slow, but he's our old and slow commentator.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

Oh yeah. Check out Starrcade 1995 if you want to hear what Tony is capable of.

I'll do that and chock up one more reason to seriously dislike Bischoff.

 

[PsychoBlack]

Did Raven have a better 1995 or 2005?

will you ever review the Hardcore TV episodes of ECW?

I know you hate puro, but have you seen any of AJ in NJPW? If so what do you think?

Can you recommend a british bulldogs match for me to watch? one of their very best

 

[klunderbunker]

1995.

Highly unlikely.

One match. Not bad.

There's a 2/3 falls match on SNME against the Dream Team that was pretty good. You'd be good with any Hart Foundation match from the 80s though.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

How many heels in the past two decades are better than Lesnar? Vinny Mac and Paul Heyman don't count, either.

 

[klunderbunker]

HHH was just so evil through his actions. I mean, he kidnapped and raped Stephanie and still got the girl in the end. That's hard to top.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Thoughts on this as a 1998 Horseman lineup:

Ric Flair
Chris Benoit
Curt Hennig & Dean Malenko as the tag team
Rick Rude as the JJ Dillon

 

[klunderbunker]

That could work.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Who was your favorite wrestler as a kid?

 

[MrHashasheen]

That could work.

Mhm. Part of a fantasy booking I'm mulling for Starrcade '97. Hogan's getting a ten minute ass-kicking by way of Sting with Bret Hart as the guest referee, with the nWo coming out to cause a DQ. WCW guys seated around the arena jump down to ringside, led by Benoit, Malenko and Arn Anderson. The nWo is led by Hennig and Rude and they do a brief face off with the three before all of them crack smiles, turn to the remainder of the nWo, and do a babyface swerve as they throw up the hand sign and get to ass-kicking as Sting taps out Hogan in the middle of the ring.

Next night on Nitro Flair shows up with them in tow as well as Steve McMichael and JJ Dillon, executes a beatdown on Mongo while explaining a double-fifth column angle (Hennig turned so he could spy on the nWo, while McMichael was an nWo stooge feeding them information). McMichael gets sent out on a stretcher, Arn and JJ bow out of the ring while Flair does the introductions to the new Four Horsemen, now managed by Rick Rude.

And then some fun times with the Hart Family and the Flock begin.
