Probably more of the same but without the title.

I've heard worse.

Random thing popped in my mind, when was the first Spanish Announce Table Bump? Survivor Series 95 with Diesel and Hart comes to mind.

 

[klunderbunker]

THat's the first one I can think of.

At an independent show tonight I got to see Tully Blanchard, whose last match to date was in 2007 and is 60 years old, throw 2 pretty good dropkicks in order to chase off a local heel

Is this a sign that truly anything can happen in wrestling?

 

[klunderbunker]

That's one of the things I've learned in the last two years.

By the way: he tore his bicep on the landing.

I'm not sure how to take this.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'll see that and raise you this:

Could you give me a little history on the Tuesday in Texas event from back in 91?

Was Undertaker and Hogan flipping belts between Survivor Series and this event in the works for some time?

Or was it a decision made closer to the event to take advantage of two big cards so close to one another?

 

[klunderbunker]

The former probably. It's a total cash in and the bait and switch at Survivor Series is one of the most infuriating things I've ever seen in wrestling.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

This event came to mind as I recently watched it on the network. The open to the Tuesday in Texas show was a taped interview between Gene, Bearer and Taker. Watched that interview for the first time when I watched the card and Taker actually talked during the segment.

Was that the first time Taker spoke in the WWE?

 

[klunderbunker]

He'd speak a few words here and there.

Yeah, but Jimmy Hart was an actual musician with the Gentry.

 

[klunderbunker]

Gentrys*

He also wrote all those songs he just sang.

Does a possible spot for Brock Lesnar in the WrestleMania Main Event hinge on if he renews or not? IF he isn't going to renew, is there a way that the WWE can keep it in the dark to avoid a repeat of Goldberg-Lesnar?

 

[klunderbunker]

That's what I would do. Most of (but certainly not all of) the time, you don't want to go with the obvious ending.

 

[L@RISANO]

That's what I would do. Most of (but certainly not all of) the time, you don't want to go with the obvious ending.

Based on that:

IF he were to renew and stay on, do you still book him to lose at Mania(assuming that is what is going to happen), or does the WWE keep the belt on him and possibly book him better post-Mania 31?


Personally, now, whilst I still am in anticipation of a Brock-Reigns Staredown and even a match...I feel a bit more intrigued about the possibilities of a Cena-Reigns match as the Main Event of Mania, especially moving forward beyond Mania 31.


Perhaps as JR alluded to in his latest podcast, Reigns might well not even be in the Main Event of Mania and we are in for a swerve of some sort for this year as they continue to push Reigns in time for the next Mania(which would be much more ideal,lMO.)

 

[klunderbunker]

Not if you're not going to have him around more often. Those part time appearances are killing the title scene. If you can get more appearances, keep him in the main event. Otherwise, have him be a main event jobber.

That seems to be the trend anymore.

 

[scomvp316]

I am not a tech savvy guy so wondering if there is a way to record shows from the Network. I have a PS3 with regular hook-up and a HDMI Cable but an old VCR/DVD Player with the basic cable hook-ups but with the front tri-color cables. If you don't know the answer are their any sites that could help me out. TY

 

[klunderbunker]

Not that I'm aware of.

 

[L@RISANO]

Are they gonna start building towards the Rumble properly from next week? It is difficult to watch the show knowing that with the Rumble coming up, none of the Superstars have been booked to at least look like they actually want the chance to headline Mania...just seems like a few random feuds going on for no reason at all...

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah it's coming. Either then or the first Raw of the year.

 

[L@RISANO]

Having read your review and the ending grade analysis part...I have to ask: Can't the WWE cut the filler, and instead give the lesser Superstars around 30 mins to work their stuff whilst featuring the more over superstars in more than one segment, possibly in well written and planned storyline feuds,perhaps?

 

[klunderbunker]

Can they? Yeah they could. They just won't do it.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

It was probably asked before but have to ask

Given that WWE isnt too fond of predictable is it possible that we get other Rumble winner that is not Reigns? For example maybe returning Bryan or someone else like Orton?

And where would that leave Reigns, Brock and Cena?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd be very, very surprised.

Probably finding their way into the main event anyway with the other one facing Rollins.
