That they were there for one night and it didn't mean much.

Fingerpoke of Doom.

Is the fact that Drew McIntyre and Ted Dibiase are flailing because of themselves or Creative?

What's your opinion on The YWC?

Combination thereof.

Thoughts on the "wrestling matters again" promos?

I'll spare you a very long rant and say they're annoying.

What's your opinion on The YWC?

The huh?

 

[Vincent Michaels]

The huh?

YouTube Wrestling Community. More or less the IWC but on video and somehow more stupid.

 

[klunderbunker]

From what I've seen, they make Eugene look like Lanny Poffo.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Worst In ring injury?

Funniest moment?

Biggest gaf?

Biggest misconception. (something that you know or believe that most people dont going on in wrestling today)

 

[NSL]

In your ONS '06 review, you say Lawler is one of the best (or the best, but don't want to misquote you) natural heels in history...

What Cole has been doing lately...would it be better with Lawler in his role? Doing the exact same stuff.

Sid breaking his leg.

Foley "getting" the Rock.

Not sure what you mean by biggest gaf.

1. You can be buried in a single match.

2. ALL heels need to be tough.

3. Not being able to do a ton of moves means you're a terrible wrestler (like Khali, who is bad for various other reasons).

4. WWE is bad when it's not geared towards adults.

I could go on with this list for days but I'll cut it off there.

Nah. Lawler is old and old people tend to be loved. The fans want to cheer for Jerry because while he's way past his best years, it was him calling all those moments with JR. Cole is a whiny jerk that doesn't deserve a thing he has handed to him (character wise). Lawler has been around forever and you could see an argument with him being the voice of WWE. Wouldn't work.

Thoughts on the Kaitlyn/Dolph/Vickie storyline?

Kaitlyn looks great in tiny shorts and a tight shirt. Other than that, it was NXT so it's not like anyone watched. Fine for what it was: a story on the D show.

In 2008 WWE was pushing Brian Kendrick hard to be a main eventer. They gave him an undefeated streak, a big bodyguard and promo time just about every week on Smackdown and even had him pin HHH in a tag match. If not for his attitude, would Kendrick have held a world title as there were rumors circulating of him being an early favourite for the Money In The Bank.

Also Towards WM 25 there were video packages hyping the debut of Hade Vansen. Vansen was supposed to be teaming with fellow WWE developmental talent Kevin Thorn and Black Pain with a dark cult-like image against the Undertaker at No Way Out or possibly even Wrestlemania. Vansen seemed perfectly capable as a promo guy but do you think he and the others would've measured up?

 

[El Rev sXe]

Thoughts on: Mr. Aderson, RVD, Mcintyre and Pope?

Who would you like to see win this year's money in the bank?

On that note, could you actually see Christian winning the MitB/WHC seeing the way he is being build up (a la Hardy)?

Doubt it on Kendrick. Maybe a quick main event program but I don't think he would have lasted.

Vansen, nah. Taker rarely does well in those paranormal feuds.

Annoying
Overrated but not too badly
Looks good in white tights
Fallen a lot

Way too early.

Maybe, but I don't think he needs it.

I get that WWE needed to change the name of John Cena's trademark moves in line with the family orientated direction they are currently going in. i.e. The FU becoming the Attitude Adjustment and The STFU simply becoming the STF. However the 5 Knuckle Shuffle is ALOT more offensive than either of those names IMO. Was this mistakenly overlooked by management would you say?

I dont watch NXT anymore. Why does it still exist? And why did the commentators bury the show each week as the seasons progressed instead of just killing it? Do they derive pleasure from laughing at their own awful show!?

 

[El Rev sXe]

Thoughts on Christian's run as TNA champ? And what do you think about this whole Sin Cara/Averno situation?

I don't think most people know what that name actually means. He hits someone in the head (knuckles) and used to do a little dance before the punch (shuffle). Not as bad as it sounds.

Because in international markets where it airs on TV still the show is still watched and it's 100% profit for the most part.

That he was just kind of there. Not bad, not great.

That I'm not sure what good it's going to do to have Cara face a guy that works his old style when they're trying to get him to learn a new one.

 

[El Rev sXe]

First ever faction in wrestling history?

 

[klunderbunker]

Really hard to say as there were probably a lot of them in regional companies. The Heenan Family was kind of around in the 70s. Not really a question with a definitive answer.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Favorite attitude era match?
Best hardcore match on youtube?

 

[mrbrownstone]

In hindsight considering how much he has botched so far, should Sin Cara been given a 6-9 month stay in FCW just to let him adjust to the WWE style and to give him a chance to learn some basic english?

Foley vs. HHH - RR 2000
As opposed to regular matches?

I fail to see how English is going to help him. I think he'll be ok in time. It'll also help if he's allowed to actually have a match instead of just a series of spots.

 

[mrbrownstone]

It probably wouldn't help him just yet but sooner or later I would have thought that he would need to cut a promo, unless they want a translator for him then he will need to know english.

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh maybe but a lot of guys don't talk that much. Also, he's from Mexico. That would be an excuse for him not talking to most fans.
