Zack Ryder is a face, heel, twinner, none?

 

[klunderbunker]

None really. Just kind of there.

 

[El Rev sXe]

Best/worst catchphrase?

Thougths on Jim Cornette and Vince Russo?

 

[klunderbunker]

Best: Whatcha Gonna Do is hard to top.

Worst: WHAT gets annoying beyond belief.

Cornette: Great wrestling mind, great talker, a bit too nuts

Russo: Awful for wrestling, ruined a lot of things

 

[MrHashasheen]

Any idea who owns the USWA titles, video library, etc...?

 

[klunderbunker]

That's a big mess. There was a lawsuit right when the company ended between three parties (Lawler, a sports marketing company and the previous owners). Some combination of those three own it.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Chances Mcfoley will be the GM?

Do you think Big Show and Diesel could put on a good match?

Should C.M. Punk give up his name in the contract dispute?

 

[klunderbunker]

Highly unlikely.

Highly unlikely.

Not if he doesn't want to.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Who was the booker/creative team during the Hulkamania years?

 

[klunderbunker]

Vince. Period.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Which version of Christian's current theme do you prefer, and will he & Orton be able to top there great match at Over the Limit?

 

[klunderbunker]

I have both on my iPOD but I think I prefer the current one. And it depends on the psychology.

Rate Chris Benoit's mic skills.

 

[klunderbunker]

Better than credited.

Thoughts on WWE seemingly finding it difficult to create new main event level faces?

Looking at the new guys who have been given a shot at main eventing over the past few years (Sheamus, Wade, Ziggler, Swagger, Truth, Del Rio, Miz and Rhodes is well on his way) all of them are heels. In terms of faces given a chance you could only really argue a case for John Morrison and even then its not a great case. Why is this?

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

I've always wondered whether the costs of house shows outweigh the rewards.

Are the ya thing of the past? The Miz recently got injured at a house show. Is it worth overworking wrestlers for 300 days a year? Do they make enough money and exposure following the current pattern, or could they cut down the amount by half?

That they could if they would actually book people as faces instead of tweeners.

Because heels are far easier to establish than faces.

I think they do. Those shows make money and are great for practice. You can see what works and what doesn't and make a nice profit as they're not expensive to run I wouldn't think.

What about the effect on wrestlers? Obviously people won't want to go to a house show featuring Tyson Kidd and Chavo in the main event, but do you think reducing house shows to lessen the chance of a main eventer snapping an achilles tendon is a possibility for the WWE?

 

[Uncle Chester]

Do you own shares in the WWE?

 

[klunderbunker]

They could get injured just as easily on Raw. The whole injury issue unfortunately isn't going to change because it's the way wrestling works.

 

[klunderbunker]

Do you own shares in the WWE?

I used to.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Best ppv

 

[klunderbunker]

Mania 17.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Let's say Austin vs. Hogan does occur at WrestleMania 18 as you believe it should have, who does the Rock face and how does the Austin/Hogan encounter conclude?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably Hall and with Hogan going down to the Stunner.
