Where would you rank Lesnar ending the Streak on the all-time Mania greatest moments? I'd say its Top 3 behind only Hogan slamming Andre maybe.

So whats the WWE deal with Tap Out? Is it just for workout gear or will Tap Out be making some T-Shirts for some of the stars? Do you find Vince is being a hypocrite seeing that Tap Out is mostly a MMA Apparel Company and Vince's opinion of MMA?

With HHH meeting with Paramount is that setting up future movie production deals or within the next year on the Network we will see movies?

IMO Reigns reminds me alot of Batista. When Reigns becomes the Champ he will be hot at first but will cool off quickly. Do you think Reigns is really going to be Cena's replacement and if not who do you think Vince/HHH have their eyes on?

I'd assume there will be some original stuff.

I certainly hope not. I'm sick of this movie stuff.

I've been saying REigns is Batista for months. I can't picture him as the replacement yet. It's hard to say as so many of the top guys come out of nowhere.

Is Sting v HHH going to be a no DQ match? Surely it should be...

No but it probably should be.

I could go with that. Austin winning the title is way up there too.

Is it weird that TNA seem to be doing roughly the same ratings on Destination America compared to Spike. Does that say something about Spike's promotion of TNA??

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh Spike's promotion of TNA has long since been a disaster.

I think 3 moments from last year's Wrestlemania alone have a potential to be rated among the Top 5 moments ever. The opening, the Streak ending and Bryan's winning celebration.

Also on a side note, I always think of this but no one seems to talk about it that it is a genuine credit to Daniel Bryan for the performance he put in last year in that he single-handedly aroused a dead/shocked crowd that had just witnessed the end of the Streak and within 20 minutes turned them into the wildest group of fans ever. It was an amazing sight and I doubt if anyone else, even Cena could have been able to do that in that situation. Don't you think so?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah those are all great.

Yeah I watched it again yesterday and it's kind of amazing that he pulled that off. The best part: he did it TWICE, as how do you follow that opening?

Despite the awesome news about Lesnar resigning, I remain completely unenthralled by Wrestlemania, won't be buying the Network, probably won't be staying up to see it any any form.

As a reviewer, has the Lesnar news in anyway changed your thoughts on the 31st edition of Wrestlemania? (I know we'll get the pre-show thoughts soon enough).

 

[klunderbunker]

Not really. It's still a pretty lamely built show.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Hideo Itmai in the battle royal - thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

It might be better to have him in there instead of Balor or Neville as they would get lost in the shuffle. Itami isn't ready for much more other than to be lost in the shuffle.

Any idea when the above happened? Why can't we get that guy, again?

 

[klunderbunker]

Right before Shield formed. He was basically the golden boy and the next great Samoan for all of two weeks before the team got together.

Hmm... he actually seemed pretty comfortable during that 'interview'. Really hits home how 'controlled' he has become on the Main Roster as a Singles guy, almost like a robot...

 

[klunderbunker]

The scripting bug strikes again.

 

[L@RISANO]

After Brock's resigning, I am excited about Mania, but not excited about it.
Ever had that feeling?

It's basically, I am looking forward to watching it, but then again, I'm at such a point where I feel as though I can go to sleep and just read the results/reviews to help give me some anticipation for the Post-Mania RAW and see the new Storylines unfold...

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. Most odd years.

Is it bad I'm more stoked for watching the Jeff Hardy/Storm steel cage match (haven't watched it yet) than 90% of the matches at Wrestlemania. Heck TNA seem to have put more effort into the confrontation between Jeff Hardy and Storm in a month than WWE have put in three

How many sparcely used (I'm talking burning hammer sparcely here) moves can you recall as finishers during your time as a wrestling fan? Would you like to see some moves be treated like that in the future?
Personally I like the idea of a finisher with an impact like that. For a current finisher, think it would work with Hideo Itami's GTS since it's becoming more common knowledge that it's "his" move and the anticipation for it is there during his matches, but he's good enough so that the anticipation is hidden just enough to make you go ballistic out of shock when he teases the move.

The Steiner Screwdriver. He only used it about five times in America.

Legit dream matches we never got to see at Wrestlemania?

I can only think of Hogan-Flair, Hogan-Austin, Undertaker-Sting, Punk-Austin, and Bryan-Lesnar.

 

[klunderbunker]

Austin vs. Hogan, Demolition vs. LOD.

 

[L@RISANO]

How highly do you rate the Dusty Rhodes "Hard Times" promo?

 

[klunderbunker]

About as highly as most people rate it.

 

[Skuzzy]

wait bryan vs lesnar is really a dream match?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not for me it isn't.
