With the whole hoo haa about the WWE network wouldn't it be interesting to see what people watched on it and how many people actually watched the PPVs (even though that isn't likely to happen)

 

[klunderbunker]

They've released stuff like that before.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

Coming up on the one year anniversary of the launch of the Network. Are you planning on doing a one year report card?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not likely. It's the best thing that has happened to wrestling fans in about forever so it's kind of a waste of time.

Did you like Neville vs Balor? I'm not seeing the hype behind it. I felt like a lot of the spots were illogical or far fetched to be kicked out of. What probably bothered me most was Balor did his double leg stomp to the back of Neville's head and immediately covered him and Neville kicked out but the finish was that same move but to Neville's chest

I watched a delayed version of SD! tonight, and thus, I FFW'd the Fandango vs Rose match.
After reading your review where it said that Rose attacked his rosebuds for the umpteenth time... I have to ask, how long will that go on for until some sort of payoff occurs? Will it involve the bunny? Who could the bunny be?
Also, was there someone that Rose/Kruger had a feud with on NXT that could probably be introduced onto the Main Roster when the bunny is unmasked?

More time to build up momentum before it makes contact.

I doubt the Bunny is going to be appearing anymore.

I doubt the Bunny is going to be appearing anymore.

Even though I found it irritating, I still wondered if someone could be introduced as the Bunny at some point... or even someone returning...

If you were the owner of the WWE would you bring the Cruiserweight title back at some point. I know weight division between superstars sucks but man you could always just watch them. I guess it would hinder a lot of talent though.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. After Bryan and Punk's rise, weight classes have no point anymore.

 

[Alex]

Has there been a WWE wrestler who's held all of the male titles in existence or close.

The closest ones I can think of off the top of my head are Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio

 

[klunderbunker]

Edge was only missing the Cruiserweight/Light Heavyweight and European.

 

[Alex]

He won the ECW title?

 

[klunderbunker]

He didn't, but that's getting really nitpicky.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

No. After Bryan and Punk's rise, weight classes have no point anymore.

They could just have Sid Vicious come out and beat them up after every match

 

[Reflection]

Do you think the winner of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale should have more to gain than just the trophy?

 

[klunderbunker]

Wouldn't hurt.

 

[Khalifa]

On that topic, how do you feel about the Battle Royal at WM. Would you like it to stay?

 

[klunderbunker]

No real need to but it does get them on the show for royalties.

 

[Reflection]

Also, when was the last time you got legitimately pissed off after watching something in a wrestling show?

 

[klunderbunker]

Big Show pinning Reigns.

 

[Kris Benwa]

Recently Taz had an episode of The Human Podcast Machine where he, Mike Tenay, and the producer Seth ranked the top 10 wrestlers of all time. Not sure if i should spoil who they have at number 1 but who do you think is the greatest of all time and why?

 

[klunderbunker]

Hogan, but I'd assume one of them went with Lou Thesz or Kurt Angle. Hogan embodies wrestling and moved it into the modern era. Other than maybe Gorgeous George, no one has changed it like he has.

Ken Shamrock was a pretty big deal when he debuted in 97. That first year he was really protected and looked very strong in just about everything he did. By the end of the year he challenged for the title and was still made to look strong even though Shawn retained the title.

Based on 97 it seemed as though Shamrock had some sort of potential future as a champ. At what point did that change? And did that have to do with anything of Shamrock's doing?

 

[klunderbunker]

The minute he first spoke. His promo skills were about as horrible as you could imagine and it limited whatever he coudl do. However, he pretty much peaked anyway due to injuries. That kind of a character can only get you so far, especially with the guys around him at the time.
