I like him. He's not playing a character. He IS that character. Old school at its finest.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Did the WWE ever trademark the WCW PPV names?

 

[klunderbunker]

They got the trademarks in the purchase.

 

[MrHashasheen]

They got the trademarks in the purchase.

So they still have them, or did they expire? Because I've seen word of fed's using some of the PPV names...

 

[klunderbunker]

If it's not national, I doubt it matters.

If there's in ring psychology, what would be outside/off ring psychology?

On a serious note, your thoughts on the legend killer gimmick.

Have you seen Místico vs Jushin Liger? If so, your thoughts.

I didn't understood quite well, son can you tell me why Bret leave the RAW GM position?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not bad, ran its course.

I haven't seen it.

I think it was he didn't want to be there every week so they went with the Raw GM who didn't hve to have a person in there every week.

Alberto Del Rio said he wishes to end Undertakers Wrestlemania Streak.Can he do it?

 

[mrbrownstone]

Is there any good reason AJ Styles is tied up in a feud with Tommy Dreamer and Bully Ray and not in the main event picture (he hasn't had a world title shot in over a year)?

 

[SSJPhenom]

I could go with that. It's a coin flip for me as Shawn was on the downside of his career and was really just around to be a veteran and put people over at that point. Hogan was a special attraction so I was fine with him winning. Now against Orton a year later, different story. Hogan over Shawn though I didn't have a big problem with.

Like you, I'm less upset over the outcome of Hogan/Michaels than the outcome of Hogan/Orton.

With said; though, Michaels still had an active role in the company at this point in time and; although he may have been near the end of his rope; he was still having great matches and big matches. HBK/Cena WM 23 comes to mind. Just think for a moment: Cena sits down for an interview about that match and says, "I was in the main event at WM with a guy whose beaten the likes of Hogan, HHH, Austin, 'Taker, Flair, and so on." I just think that he would have been better suited to put over people with that victory under his belt.

Hogan should have never beaten Orton at all. At that time Orton was the Legend Killer and what better Legend to kill? It would have sent Orton to the top of the heel mountain about a year before he got there. The benefits for Orton would have been 100 fold greater than the benefits for Hogan.

But as for my question: Who is the better in ring performer; Shawn Michaels or Ricky Steamboat? Also, if these two were able to wrestle each other around '95 or '96 would it have been the greatest match of all time?

Nah. Taker isn't going to get to 19-0 and lose.

He'll have a match with Ray soon enough to end it.

Shawn. Ricky was more technically sound, Shawn could get the fans to care more.

 

[SSJPhenom]

Was Rock/Austin the greatest rivalry of the famed Attitude Era or was it Austin/McMahon?

Cody Rhodes is doing wonders right now in the WWE; do you think he'll be ready to take that next step anytime soon?

Is The Undertaker the greatest gimmick of all time?

Is Undertaker/Kane at WrestleMania 14 the greatest 'Giant' match of all time?

 

[klunderbunker]

Austin/McMahon.

Hopefully.

Perhaps but I'd have to think about it.

That match sucked.

 

[SSJPhenom]

That match sucked.

I'm not calling that match a classic by any stretch of the imagination. However, when it comes to giant vs giant; was that the best match?

I believe so. When you compare it to others like Kane/Big Show, Khali/Kane, Khali/Big Show, 'Taker/Nash, 'Taker/Giant Gonzalez, 'Taker/Sid, 'Taker/Big Show, and so on; I think 'Taker/Kane at WrestleMania 14 is the best.

 

[klunderbunker]

No, it wasn't. Nash vs. Giant have had better matches.

 

[SSJPhenom]

You may be right.

Are Randy Orton and John Cena the Rock and Austin of this era?

When 'Taker retires, who'll be their resident big man worker?

 

[klunderbunker]

They're trying to make it that way but I'm not sure if it's going to work.

Hard to say. They might not need one.

 

[Vega]

Who out of these should've had more success, meaning titles or big fueds / wins?

- Jake Roberts
- Chris Jericho
- Lance Storm
- Ricky Steamboat
- William Regal
- Mike Awesome
- Rhyno
- Brian Pillman
- Taz
- Chavo Guerrero

Guys you think that have been strongly underused/rated?

 

[klunderbunker]

Mike Awesome. He could have been something big in WCW and they ruined him.

 

[Vega]

I agree. There are these guys where you just look at them and the first thing you do is asking yourself why they've never made it really far.

Are there any wrestlers you despise? I don't know, but I always feel bad when I see New Jack, and Warrior is another case where I just have to cringe whenever I see a match of him outside of the Hogan classic. Ah, and Abdullah.

 

[klunderbunker]

Ronnie Garvin comes to mind.

What did you think of the WM7 blindfold match?

 

[klunderbunker]

That it was horribly acted.

 

[El Rev sXe]

I've been reading that at some different periods of time, the WWE gave Matt Hardy a push in order for him to become a top player but he eventually ruin it one way or another. Is it true or he is just a glorified mid carder?

Favorite luchador?

Mil Máscaras, Rayo de jalisco or Blue demon?

 

[klunderbunker]

He's a glorified midcarder and always has been.

Rey of course. His WCW stuff is other worldly.

Of those three, Demon.
