KB Answers Wrestling Questions

I'm not sure but I can't stand it. Everything is so formula based and you need to mix it up a bit.

Agreed. Just watched Cactus Jack vs. Sting from Beach Blast '92. Sting won with a flying clothesline. A FLYING CLOTHESLINE! You know this already but damn. Needs to happen a bit more often.

I remember Taker beating Rikishi on Smackdown with a running DDT. That worked perfectly fine.

 

[CH David]

Didn't Miz beat Mark Henry with a DDT within the past year? Worked quite nicely.

 

[klunderbunker]

Miz kept changing his finisher every two months or so so it's rather likely.

 

[CH David]

I can't remember if it was mentioned in this thread, thoughts on the Cactus Jack vs. Sting "I Quit" match.

 

[klunderbunker]

Decent enough match and with those two the chemistry was there of course, but I'd rather them do that at a major show rather than on Power Hour.

KB, is it okay if a blockbuster match that doesn't involve a world title headline Wrestlemania? This popped into my head after watching Taker VS Michaels from Wrestlemania this year again.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yes but only in very special circumstances. That would classify as one of them. I'd also have accepted Shawn vs. Flair in that spot.

 

[The Holy One]

How about SCSA vs The Rock at WM 19?

 

[CH David]

Is Cena vs. Orton a good WrestleMania Main Event even after all the matches they have had?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's good but the weakest of their Mania series. Well second I guess as it's better than Mania 15.

Is Cena vs. Orton a good WrestleMania Main Event even after all the matches they have had?

Not for at least a year. Mania should be a BIG match. With Hogan and Savage it was something that had been done before but it had been a very long time int he making. That made it ok.

KB..do you really think Matt Hardy can be taken seriously if he goes to TNA considering all the whining and crying he's done to pander to the IWC and to try to gain sympathy, and with even setting up twitter/myspace accounts for his 'alter ego' MATTHEWHARDY? Or should Dixie and the head honchos really take all that evidence into consideration before hiring him just because his brother and other friends from the WWE discard bin are there?

 

[The Holy One]

I was asking if you thought that the match deserved to go last at WM 19 instead of Brock vs Kurt, but I guess that works as I think I got your answer anyway.

Your thoughts on the Undertaker?

 

[CH David]

If injuries didn't cut his career, how big could Tazz have been in the WWE?

It's TNA. They'll take anyone WWE lets go so yes, he'll go there and he'll get a big push more than likely. Should he? Not at all.

Brock/Angle should have gone last.

Best gimmick wrestler ever, stuck around forever and still gets reactions. I'm not a fan of how hard he's been pushed at times or how bad he got in 2002/3. Also I found it very stupid that you had Benoit and Lesnar and Angle doing their thing on Smackdown but Taker got to incorporate MMA moves into his offense.

If injuries didn't cut his career, how big could Tazz have been in the WWE?

Considering that had he not gotten hurt in 2000 he was supposed to get Benoit's push, you tell me.

Rate the angle:

 

[LitasRevenge79]

KB...did you ever know that you're my hero?? LOL. You are the wind beneath my wings with your never ending supply of Wrestling Knowledge!! Love ya!! (In an admirable way..purely non physical. )

 

[CH David]

Do you think it is symmetry or pure coincidence that Benoit made his WWE in-ring debut against Triple H and beat him for the World Heavyweight Championship 4 years later?

 

[klunderbunker]

Rate the angle:

I don't have the time to watch it at the moment but I'd assume that's YOU'RE SUICIDE. It's solid but been done before. It wasn't bad or anything though.

Well i have to be good at something.

Coincidence. They know they had something with Benoit when he got there as he had been WCW Champion 8 days earlier. After he fell as far as he did and had the year off though, yeah it was coincidence.

I got a question for you KB (Don't really know if it's been asked before, but I'm still going to ask anyways)...

What is your opinion of Alberto Del-Rio...like the guy, hate the guy, think he's not as good as people claim him to be (etc)

 

[goodlay]

Two questions:

With how this Immortal angle is already slipping up, do you think it will get cut shorter than planned?

And do you think TNA will run itself into the ground ala WCW? Or do you think TNA will stay around as the distant #2 wrestling company?

I like him. I love that he's been thrown into the upper midcard like this rather than having to work his way up. At times it's just stupid to make someone wait and he's definitely worked so far. That armbar is a solid finisher and they've made it look lethal. I like him.

1. No. Hogan and Bischoff will ride this out until the end or for as many checks as they can squeeze out of Dixie.

2. I doubt it actually. The thing is, TNA has never had a great period to fall from. The thing is that with WCW, they used to be great so there was something to compare it to. TNA doesn't have that so it's not like they're going to fall very far. Also their diehard fans who hate Vince will stay with them to the bitter end.

Nice. I like the guy a lot. But some people seem to consider him a failure, which I think is obsurd considering how good he's been made to look in the WWE. Not to mention his background before jumping ships to WWE.
