Do you mind if a world title match isn't the last match in a major PPV like WM 26 wasn't?

Only on VERY special occasions. That was one such occasion.

I don't think so, no. Nash winning or any old guy beating him would have been a nail in it.

Well I didn't mean if Goldberg won at Starrcade only to lose to an nWo member a week later. If WCW used real logic, which had Sting win and keep the title until say Bash at the Beach or so, in which Hogan wins (for whatever reason) and then Goldberg beats him at Starrcade to all the pandemonium and what not, and loses to Benoit 4 months later, via submission of course. That would have to help right, or am I completely off base?

 

[klunderbunker]

It would have helped, yes. WCW's biggest flaw was their nearsightedness. Goldberg vs. Hogan is the epitome of biggest match of the year, so let's air it free with four days notice so we can draw a record house which was already going to be a record house anyway. Screw the millions and millions of dollars we would make otherwise.

Better Heel: HHH, 99-01 or Hogan, 96-99?

 

[klunderbunker]

HHH 99-01 easily. Hogan was WORTHLESS after Starrcade.

Check the post I link I put up a few pages back. I went on the mother of all rants about WCW's general idiocy and that was one of the main points.

Link me to that post.

Also, if WCW managed to survive being kicked off AOL Time Warner, would it have been better than TNA is today?

And Ronnie Garvin... overrated or underrated?

It's the 4th or 5th post but read the opening as I reply to the points Norcal made without quoting them.

They have better talent but I doubt they would have lasted longer anyway. Yeah I'd think so though.

Do you not read any of my reviews?

 

[The Holy One]

Favorite Rumble win? Not match but just the win.

 

[klunderbunker]

Cena because NO ONE saw that coming. When you can shock MSG, you've done something right.

Not pushing new stars in 02/03 and letting HHH absolutely own Raw for over a year when only he wanted to see it.

Hiring Hogan and Bischoff.

There are a bunch but I'd go Steamboat vs. Savage as long as you get the promos and build to it.

Keeping TNA's current state in mind, if you had to present a five year plan to make the company successful, what would be your goals for each year?

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't buy into five year plans. That's WAY too long to plan something out. In five years WCW went from treading water to being the hottest thing in the world to a pawn in Shane's feud with Vince. Five years is far too long to plan something.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Best (but realistic) case scenerio.

I believe it's possible to have a five year plan, but also have the awareness that one might (and most likely will) need to constantly review, improve and adapt a plan, but having in initial five year plan as a guideline or starting off point is not unrealistic. One would have to not be foolish enough to live and die by the plan in order to be successful.

 

[klunderbunker]

In real life that's fine. Not in wrestling though. Then again I don't like planning much anyway.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

What do you feel de-values a title more, it changing hands constantly, or it nearly never being defended?

 

[klunderbunker]

Never being defended. If no one wants to challenge for it, apparently they don't think that much of it. It changing constantly doesn't devalue it as much as people say. No one said that in early 99 when Rock and Foley traded it like 3 times in 2 months or in the summer of 2000 when HHH and Rock traded it all summer.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Six sides or four sides, what was best for TNA?

 

[klunderbunker]

I liked six. I never got the huge criticisms for it.

What wrestling related DVDs would you like to watch? One documentary & one 'best of'

 

[The Holy One]

After watching a couple of his matches, I've got to ask is Foley human?

As in that haven't been made? For matches I'd like to see a best of the Clash of the Champions or best of WCW kind of thing to see what Vince/WWE considers their best. For a documentary, one on Harley Race would be nice.

After watching a couple of his matches, I've got to ask is Foley human?

I've met him, I've shaken his hand, I've spoken to him, I have a photo of the two of us together, and I am not sure.

KB, Who do you think is a bigger loss for the WWE, The Rock or Brock Lesnar?
