Right now, is CM Punk the favourite to win the Royal Rumble in your eyes?

 

[klunderbunker]

I think he's probably the most likely candidate but I have very limited faith in that pick.

Do you think that Daniel Bryan is now the #3 face behind Orton and Morrison if Cena's injury is legit?

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Matches you would show a non fan to get them interested in wrestling?

It would depend on if Cena is taken off television. If so then yeah I think so, but a very distant third.

Savage vs. Steamboat for technical ability
TLC 2 for over the top insanity
Austin vs. Rock II for the huge big match feeling
Taker vs. HBK for insane drama.

I asked this question in the Random Thoughts thread but I thought I should ask someone who is (I'm guessing) an authority on the subject.

I want to get my first wrestling DVD. One that is not a PPV and rather focuses on history. My favourite company is WWE. Any suggestions?

 

[klunderbunker]

Wrestlemania Anthology. If the price is a bit high for you (and that is indeed an expensive set), Best of SNME is good for old school.

KB, your thoughts on Rey Mysterio being the 9th greatest Superstar of all time (coming from the 50 Greatest Superstars DVD, not me)?

 

[klunderbunker]

That DVD is a damn joke as are most lists WWE puts out.

Do you think that Matt Hardy is RVD's mystery opponent at Genesis?

Do you think that Matt Hardy is RVD's mystery opponent at Genesis?

Was just about to ask this. His release was announced on the 15th of October, but he claims it was in effect two weeks before (1st maybe, he's not clear enough) so he SHOULD be ready to go by the 9th.

do you think with this uncertainty of Nexus, and with Cena's uncertain injury, what is the possible future for Wade Barrett at this juncture? Does it hold a bright future for him, is it possible this is his chance to shine without the dominant force that is Nexus since they seem to always have some kind of Ego clash with a Big leader at the helm?

I thought it was decent, but Rey didn't deserve his spot. I also had trouble believing Hogan didn't crack the top ten. Georgous George should've been higher also.

I agree...I'm quite shocked Mysterio wasn't even on the list...

He was. 9th.

Seriously, how is Rey Mysterio better than John Cena, Eddie Guererro, Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Gorgeous George, Lou Thez, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Guerrero, among others?

 

[LitasRevenge79]

Rey Mysterio should've been like probably in the bottom 40 to me. Where did Cena place?

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Was it the DVD listed in order or just top fifty in no specific order.

 

[TSG]

Cena was like 16th, one spot ahead of Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair, who tied for 17th.

Would a wrestling show work on a premium cable network, on HBO or Showtime?

90 days aren't up yet.

Yeah I don't believe a word Matt Hardy says.

do you think with this uncertainty of Nexus, and with Cena's uncertain injury, what is the possible future for Wade Barrett at this juncture? Does it hold a bright future for him, is it possible this is his chance to shine without the dominant force that is Nexus since they seem to always have some kind of Ego clash with a Big leader at the helm?

My bet is on him going to Smackdown. They need new stars at the moment in the worst way.

I thought it was decent, but Rey didn't deserve his spot. I also had trouble believing Hogan didn't crack the top ten. Georgous George should've been higher also.

Rey is popular now so they want kids to believe that he's one of the best ever when he's a glorified midcarder that is where he is because his friend died. George was influential but I don't know about being a huge star by comparison.

He was. 9th.

He isn't. Cena is a guy that WWE thinks is still going to reach higher levels than he already has which he won't. They don't want the fans to realize that Rey is Eddie-Lite. Vince holds a grudge against Bruno and won't let it go because he's an immature little whiner. Hogan: see Sammartino. George I already went over. Thesz never did anything with WWE and he's rather boring to the average fan. Flair and Dusty are guys that vince didn't create so he doesn't think anything of them.

Cena was like 16th, one spot ahead of Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair, who tied for 17th.

Cena is light years ahead of Dusty. Flair it's arguable but I could see Cena being ahead of him. Both should be in the top ten though.

Doubt it. It killed boxing to have them featured on Showtime and HBO.

Dusty, yeah. But Flair? I don't even see that as being arguable. Cena is nowhere the level of Flair. He is great, yes, but not even close to Naitch.

 

[klunderbunker]

Flair was a joke more or less after 93. He lived off his reputation after that.

I'd argue he is still greater than Cena, based on his resume up to about 93.

 

[klunderbunker]

He won a ton of world titles with a majority of the reigns he had running together and being split up by reigns of mere days apiece.
