Thoughts on shoot interviews?

Do you think they are good for the industry, and do you personally enjoy them?

 

[klunderbunker]

They're fine but they should never be taken as fact. They're not a huge issue as not a ton of people hear them and those that are going to listen to them are smarks anyway.

 

[Paralyzer Z]

Best indy match you have ever seen?

 

[klunderbunker]

If you consider ROH indy them I guess Bryan vs. Homicide at Final Battle 04 (I think that's the year).

Have you read the death of WCW? Would you recommend it?

 

[klunderbunker]

If you can have an asterisk the size of Trish's left boob next to it then yeah.

 

[El Rev sXe]

Besides Hogan's heel turn, your top 3 biggest heel turns?

When Jeff Hardy was having his program with HHH in 2008, he start attacking people: Taker, HHH, Kozlov etc. Was that a failed heel turn?

 

[klunderbunker]

In no order, Austin, Rock (98), Luger in 91 just for how bad the show was.

Probably not. His character was always a bit out there but even WWE wasn't stupid enough to turn him heel.

Is there anything wrong with overselling a move?

 

[klunderbunker]

It depends on the situation.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Did the Rock overselling the shit out of the Stunner make you laugh, shake your head or were you fine with it?

 

[klunderbunker]

I didn't think much of it but I wasn't a fan.

 

[CH David]

Are there too many midcards on each Raw and SmackDown roster to put on the show that they can't get properly developed? Or is SmackDown still the show to develop guys who will be potential stars?

 

[klunderbunker]

For the most part yeah there are too many but no one is EVER going to get pushed strong again under the current system of doing things, not in the traditional sense of pushed strong.

 

[CH David]

We discussed it before, right now the Main Event is solid/stacked depending on how you look at it, but the midcard is kinda fucked. You have the players, but you don't care why they are playing.

In terms of caring about them, that is.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well that and no one is given time to actually develop. Also none are allowed to have a personality which hurts them a lot.

 

[CH David]

Is there word on why they are just drones out there? Just the way Vince is now? I haven't kept up on why they are personality-less guys in tights.

 

[klunderbunker]

Everything is scripted save for the top guys. You don't get to hear what's really going through their minds. Also with the way FCW is run, you have zero training in working a crowd. Everything is about playing to cameras. Watch a Hogan or Sting match from their heyday and watch a guy like Kofi now. You'll be stunned to see how much more the old guys play directly to the crowd and how much a guy like Kofi plays directly to the camera. HUGE difference and it can make or break a guy.

 

[CH David]

So now it's training to work the camera and the millions at home, than working the crowd you are in front of, eh? That seems pretty shitty.

 

[klunderbunker]

You would be amazed how much better the guys are when they can do both. Hogan, Austin, Rock and Sting all could. Just merely shouting to the crowd can do that. If you make an audience feel involved in a show, they'll cheer twice as loudly. Look today at guys like Cena and Rey who interact with the fans. They're the most over guys in the company. Punk talks about being the voice of the fans and is insanely over. Morrison doesn't do that and is stuck in the midcard. As is Kofi and various others like that.

 

[CH David]

You'd think that the WWE brass would, I don't know, try and get the fans involved somehow with the lower guys.

How do you like A-Ry over the past few months?

 

[klunderbunker]

Why should they change it? There's no one challenging them so why change what works?

Not bad but just like everyone else: hot start, fizzled since because the writers change their minds and go with someone else. You'll notice that happens a lot.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Is this the best you've ever seen from Mark Henry with his current monster character?

 

[¡Roján!]

KB, do you think Vince will ever return to WWE Tv or was him stepping down the end?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I think so with Henry. It's not like that's saying much though.

Of course. Vince is at the end of the day still the boss. He's "retired" the character so many times I've lost count.
