Which match is more fun for you, the Hardy's and E&C ladder match at No Mercy '99, or the Hardy's and Dudley's table match at the '00 Rumble?

You are a very precise man. Obvious typo. For some reason when I had first typed the No Mercy part I had put '00, and then had to switch. Fixed in quote.

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably the ladders. The table match is good but the ladders started their careers for the most part.

Is there any logic in the use of tables besides the visual effect? In most cases it would be much more brutal to directly hit the floor without an extra "wooden padding".

What was the best "feel good" moment in the WWF/E?

Sometimes they're used to break the fall of a bump that would otherwise be fairly lethal.

Yeah it's a visual thing and safety at the same time.

What was the best "feel good" moment in the WWF/E?

For me it's Foley winning the title.

 

[CleverName51]

Foley winning on Raw (Butts in the seats night) or SummerSlam 99?

And

Who would make a better commentator, William Regal, Edge or both/neither and why?

 

[klunderbunker]

1/4/99.

Regal. Big stars rarely make good commentatros.

What are your thoughts on this CM Punk/Cena story and if you think Punk will actually capture the WWE Championship?

 

[ThUnDeRpHoEnIx]

Say Punk leaves the company.Who becomes the biggest heel in WWE?

 

[Vega]

How important is size for a high card position? Would it really matter if you're only 205 pounds of weight instead of 250? Or would people accept you on top anyway?

I think intensity is very important for being believable. Benoit was only 220 pounds (billed), but maybe the most intense guy ever and you could totally buy him beating anyone. Same with other smaller guys like Taz (height), Punk or Danielson.

And what's more important? Height or weight?

 

[MrHashasheen]

If WCW had good booking throughout '98 & '99, would that have undercut the strength of the Attitude Era signficantly?

Hard to say. I think he'll probably lose and go away for awhile.

Miz probably.

Important to an extent but it can be made up for with other skills. People could accept either. It depends on what you can do. Height is probably more important of the two. You can't gain or lose it.

Significantly no, but somewhat yes.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Is there something wrong with wrestlers just meant to be a face or a heel?

 

[El Rev sXe]

Big Show is a better heel or face? And your thoughts on his mic skills.

Not a thing.

Face, and he's good on it.

 

[El Rev sXe]

Your top 5 submission moves?

Strictely as a wrestling match (not counting the storyline or "defining moment for the career"), what would you say that is Randy Orton's match?

I've been reading from a couple of people that they say they don't understand why CM Punk thinks that he is not being treated as "top dog", taking in count the fact that he was in feuds with major stars. Do you agree with that?

 

[mrbrownstone]

Can you think of anyone who has wrestled on PPV (and I stress that part, it takes guys like Mick Foley and Jerry Lynn out of the equation) for WWE, WCW, TNA and ECW? I'll say TNA weekly PPV's count by the way. I know there is bound to be someone who has done it but I can't think of who at the moment.

Thoughts on the video packages WWE has been airing on wrestlers (Dolph, Kofi, Sin Cara, Henry etc.)recently?

Crossface
Sharpshooter
Ankle Lock
Figure Four
Bridging Indian Deathlock

Vs. Foley probably. That or Benoit at Summerslam 04.

Being in feuds with big names doesn't mean you're treated like a big star. He's more or less the main event jobber at this point.

Raven
Sandman (as Hak in WCW)

I could probably think of a few more but they're few and far between.

Great idea to showcase people in a short amount of time.

I know I'm not KB or anything, but any answer other than vs. Cactus Jack at Backlash 204 is wrong.

 

[TSG]

And now a question for KB. Regardless of your thoughts on Ryder, and regardless of how annoying the threads really are becoming, would it really hurt just to give him 5 or 6 minutes for a few weeks on RAW, just to give him a chance?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's rare to have Cena get 5-6 minutes a week on Raw. 30 seconds would be fine though, as in a promo etc.

Also regarding Ryder: I don't hate him. I'm just so freaking fed up with everyone telling me that he's the greatest thing since sliced bread (#2) that I can't stand the thought of him. his show makes me chuckle, but other than that there's nothing great about him. Good yes, great no, and if I hear one more person say he's the answer to Raw's issues or that THE REVOLUTION NEEDS TO BEGIN, I'm probably throwing them in prison.

Cena usually gets 5-6 minutes in the main event match, not counting other promos or segments.

But aside from that, yeah, the Revolution shall begin, let him beat Cena next week does get old.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

What attributed most to making Jericho a great heel in his latest WWE run: the fact that he still put on good entertaining matches, his promo work, or just his general attitude overall after years of doing the Y2J gimmick?

Also, what do you feel was his defining moment in his career other that winning The Undisputed Title?

I was just counting on the mic. Cena hasn't been talking much recently.
