that Final Four elimination match was fucking EPIC

Have you seen Amanda Fox vs. Serena Deeb? Such a great match.

I haven't but I rarely watch indy.

Should wrestlers have more say in their gimmicks/characters that are given to them or that they come up with, but converse with creative on how they may be able to get over for example?

How do you think a locker room is affected, if say there's certain people who are on a card don't get along?

Reason i asked these questions is im part of a wrestling promotion as a rookie and still training and such.

It should probably be in the middle. The agents/creative are there because they have experience and have seen more than most of the wrestlers. However, the wrestlers know what fits their personalities better. It's kind of a case by case thing.

This is something William Regal said on the subject of creating a character.

After listing the numerous facets of wrestling training, he wrote of WWE: “To make it in the WWE you have to be very adaptable and willing to make any character or opportunity work. Here’s some very good advice. Make a list of the worst possible situations and character traits you be asked to do. Now make up a character and promos involving those traits and work on perfecting that character and promo (on your own otherwise you’ll get locked up). Make those things second nature. Now you’ve taken away some of your fears so whatever you are asked to do should be easier.Dont skip this task. Very few people who come to the WWE end up being the character they envisioned.”

There are always people that don't get along. If it makes the matches more intense (Benoit vs. Sullivan or Hart vs. Michaels) then awesome. As long as it doesn't make the matches worse, it doesn't really hurt things.

As a piece of advice, ask as many questions to your colleagues and bosses as you can. Pick their brains when you're traveling to shows and try to learn as much about the inner workings of the business as you can. Even someone with a modest career in the ring can teach you more than I could ever dream of.

More from the mind of Regal in general:

Oh yeah. I loved it but for some reason you never hear about it.

Who would say is WWE's top heel right now?

Has the WWE/WHC title ever changed hands between the PPV before 'Mania (Rumble/No Way Out/EC) and 'Mania? Should they do something like that?

 

[klunderbunker]

Ace.

Yeah in 1999, the night after St. Valentine's Day Massacre. It didn't really change much as everyone knew it would be Rock vs. Austin at Mania somehow. And no they shouldn't do it again. They need the time to build to Wrestlemania.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Favorite and least favorite match of 2012 so far?

 

[SD619]

And the top heel among wrestlers?

 

[klunderbunker]

Favorite and least favorite match of 2012 so far?

Rumble for favorite I guess. Nothing really sticks out.
Least favorite: some Eric Young match probably.

And the top heel among wrestlers?

Ziggler maybe. Jericho?

 

[¡Roján!]

Ziggler maybe. Jericho?

No love for Bryan, KB?

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Overall thoughts on Swagger?

I actually like his in work.

 

[klunderbunker]

No love for Bryan, KB?

Nothing on Smackdown is top anything in WWE.

Overall thoughts on Swagger?

I actually like his in work.

He's fine but he's dying for a face turn.

 

[The Talon]

That actually weird because WWE's teased Swagger turning face a couple of times, but he always stayed heel.

Who do you feel is the best wrestler on the indie circuit today?

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't follow indy.

Khali vs Otunga is scheduled for Raw tomorrow night, do you think it has potential to be a MOTY candidate?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sure. Khali really isn't as bad as people think he is.

 

[J-Dogg]

Seriously Martin I'm glad your being sarcastic. Though David has potential.

 

[alfonzo13]

What's your opinion on Randy Orton?

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Will you still be rooting for Cena at Wrestlemania?

 

[klunderbunker]

What's your opinion on Randy Orton?

That I don't get the hatred he gets.

Will you still be rooting for Cena at Wrestlemania?

GIven how much I have to hear about politics on WWE already, yeah.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

HBK, Triple H, The Rock, and The Undertaker all on Raw tonight. Thoughts on that?

 

[klunderbunker]

That it shouldn't effect the ratings much. Just like last week there's one issue: Mania is set, so there's not much to pay attention to until then.

if a stipulation is added to the big show and cody rhodes match, what do you think it will be?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

WCW 96 - 98 may be the best in ring product ever. Fucking A, match after match I have been watching. Pretty much everything has a value or charm to it, even the big guys locking horns benefits from fun sloppiness if anything.

All the more sickening they fucked it up so bad. So much talking about the NWO and Hogan during every match. So many painfully overbooked finishes.

Shaq as guest referee.

I'm not sure I'd say it was the best but it got annoying quickly for the reasons you listed. I remember the TV Title changing hands and literally all of the talk about the match was as follows: "1, 2, we have a new champion." Other than that, EVERYTHING was about the NWO and the upcoming PPV.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

In order to have the best match possible, how long should the Cena vs The Rock match be? How much actual time do you expect them to get from bell to bell?

 

[klunderbunker]

Close to thirty minutes. Cena can definitely go longer but I'm not sure about Rock.
