Not really. He's ok but his age is getting up there.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I personally believe Batista could work as the RAW GM, your thoughts on that idea?

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh maybe but if he comes back he needs to be in the ring.

 

[Craig-O-Mac]

KB my good man, I hear the word Era being used alot on the forums. What defines an era in your book?

I know of the New Generation, The Attitude Era, and The Current PG Era. I've also heard smatterings about the Ruthless Aggression Era. Can you give a quick rundown, in your opinion, of the various Era's. When they were and What they were....

 

[klunderbunker]

That's more or less the main ones. Not much else to say other than those.

If you have seen Jericho's DVD there is a clip, or maybe a few clips, I don't remember of Eric Bischoff talking about Jericho.

Since I'm not quite sure how far back before Bischoff joined TNA they had the green light for the Jericho DVD, do you know if the clip or clips were just WWE library stuff recycled or new recorded stuff with Bischoff when he was with TNA? They seem to fit a bit too well into the DVD to be recycled stuff.

 

[klunderbunker]

They're old clips. They do that quite often.

Wtf are Christian and Miz's gimmicks?

Jack Swagger has something to do on RAW that does NOT involve Cole? What about Mcintyre, do you see him having a better use on RAW (not saying that he should be WWE champ or something)?

Oh and assuming that if Miz retains this sunday, without Orton and Cena on something else, who's next for the WWE championship?

 

[klunderbunker]

Christian is Christian, Miz is a loud mouthed jerk.

Hard to say. Swagger will have a better run than McIntyre I think.

 

[Vega]

Is there a list of your A+-reviewed matches?

 

[klunderbunker]

There isn't.

 

[Vega]

Well, now there is.

This list does only include matches that appeared on PPV (or miscellaneous) and were listed in your review Table Of Content. So no TV matches (just too much to comb through) or matches you didn't have in the TOC. Match and PPV names are copied like they appeared in your reviews, therefore there is not always consistent tagging (if NWA appeared in the WCW review section, I tagged it as NWA). Maybe you can add great missing PPV or TV matches you think you gave A+ or update the tagging.

[El Rev sXe]

When did Triple H got the nickname "the cerebral assasin"?

Before the Rated R persona, what was Edge's gimmick? Oh about that too, do you know how Edge thought about the Rated R thing?

Almost forgot, your thoughts on Trish Stratus as a heel?

 

[klunderbunker]

It was around mid to late 99.

He was just Edge. Not sure what you mean there.

It's kind of hard to boo a woman that looks like that.

 

[mrbrownstone]

Do you think that Cena/Rock will be able to live up to the hype that it will no doubt receive from an in ring perspective, given the fact that by that stage (assuming he doesn't have any matches between now and then) The Rock wont have been in the ring in 8 years and will no doubt be rusty?

Who should win said match? Rock is by far the bigger star and will probably be the face of that match (depending on how the crowd reacts to Cena) but not a regular competitor anymore or should Rock put Cena over (not that he really needs it) and have what could end up being a heel by default win the Mania main event which usually isn't a great idea.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I think so. The rose colored glasses will help a lot.

Cena. All the way.

 

[mrbrownstone]

As a follow up, do you see The Rock getting back in the ring between now and Mania even if it is just a few squashes to get rid of the ring rust and if so who would he face? Or would they be better off having Mania be his big return match and playing up Rocks possible ring rust in the storyline.

 

[klunderbunker]

Have Mania be the big return.

"You can only see the Rock in action AT WRESTLEMANIA ON PAY PER VIEW!!!" Simple yet effective.

 

[SavageTaker]

To add on to what KB said, a lot of wrestlers when they are returning usually go to a wrestling school to get the rust off. I remember when Chris Jericho was returning a few years back that there were reports he was at Lance Storm's school to train a little more so he wouldn't be so rusty.

Do you see The Rock possibly going to FCW or some other wrestling school a few times just to train a little and not be so rusty in the ring? I'm sure he hasn't actually forgotten how a wrestling match works or anything like that, but I think it would be a great idea just to be safe he won't mess up big time. Better save than sorry, right?

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh he'll train somewhere, just probably in total secret.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

How big would it be for WWE if the Rock could secure a major award nomination whilst invovled with this John Cena feud?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not as big as Vince would think it is.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Where would WWE be if Vince McMahon was found guilty at the steroid trial?

 

[klunderbunker]

Hard to say. Vince would have kept control, likely booking from prison. Hard to say but It hink it would have survived. WCW was hardly poised to kill it.

 

[Craig-O-Mac]

2 part question good sir...

a) Do you the think The British Bulldog should've/could've been been WWF Champion?

b) If so, when and how? If not, what was he lacking?
