For the record ONLY KB could write a thread that goes 320 pages long, the man is a genius and it is obvious that everyone on wrestlezone respects, appreciates, and wants to hear his opinions.

If you were going to put the WWE title on Raven when and how would you do it?

I wouldn't have. His cult deal wasn't going to work in WWE.

You should have seen OCW.

With Raven I meant at any point in history whether he was under contract with someone else or not basically a guest booker type question. What kind of storyline/angle would you have wanted to see for it. Or are you saying there was no way ever for Raven to be WWE champ? I always thought that WWE missed big with Raven, but I'm a Raven mark so maybe I'm the only one that thinks so.

 

[klunderbunker]

There wasn't. The Cult deal he did wasn't going to work mainstream. it only kind of worked in WCW and it wouldn't in WWE.

Your still a genius, but this saddens me I was really thinking I was going to get an epic Raven story. Ok next question which was dumber giving Goldberg v Hogan away for free on Nitro or Having Goldbergs steak end the way it did?

 

[klunderbunker]

Goldberg vs. Hogan, by far.

The problem with Raven was during the time he was on top, I can't see his style meshing with most of the WWF main event guys. The only thing I could possibly see would be him more as a boss pulling the strings from behind the scenes. If he were to be able to get inside the head of say, Shawn, after Shawn lost the title to Sid, then maybe Shawn could deliver the title to him, but that would involve Sid vs. Raven and that's just scary. Raven and company vs. Undertaker in 97......that's a possibility, but it would be like walking a tightrope. After Montreal Raven doesn't fit in at all in WWF, so if I had to pick it would be vs. Undertaker but the matches would be either complete hit or complete failure. The story would probably be something like Raven wanting Undertaker to reembrace his dark side as he was more of a face at that point. Raven could have brought Bearer back and that could have ultimately led to Kane. At the end of the day, it would have to be something short and it would be wedged in tighter than a belt around Brodus' pants, but it could happen....maybe.

Upon reading this I immediately had a vision of Raven and Paul standing at the entrance ramp for Badd Blood during the cell match almost taunting Taker and then boom that famous Kane entrance.

And yes to me Goldberg v Hogan on that Atlanta Nitro is the most short sighted booking of all time. I don't know what the actual ratings for that match were, but with a month or less build that could of been one of the highest bought PPV's ever.

Thoughts on this promo? I love it. Just sinister.

 

[klunderbunker]

Reminds me of Waylon Mercy. Take that for what you will.

He lost it a bit near the end but the Stones were a nice touch.

Your prediction for the Bryan vs. Sheamus match at Extreme Rules?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bryan gets a fall for Sheamus beating on him too much and a Brogue Kick or two.

I wouldn't put it passed WWE if they made it 36 seconds total.

The new Ryback squash is replaying over and over in my head.. thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

That it blew away both Lord Tensai matches.

I'm still pissed at Cena losing to Rock. I can't for the life of me come up with any justification for that. Kayfabe wise Cena looks like he couldn't beat a guy who hadn't wrested a singles match in over 9 years. Do you think the WWE dropped the ball big time?

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Hey KB, I don't watch Smackdown ever so do they usually put local jobbers on the mic just to get interrupted by actual superstars or is that just for Rybak? lol

Not entirely. There are a lot of ways theyc ould go with it.

Just Ryback.

Ryback, Brodus or Tenzai?

 

[klunderbunker]

Brodus.

A few questions about this week's RAW:

1. Why does WWE have JL announce most major matches instead of one guy challenging the other?

2. Why was Sheamus out to break the brawl between Brock-Cena. Everyone who came out was a mid-carder. Otron/Kane/Bryan/Punk/Jericho didn't come out, why should Sheamus?

 

[klunderbunker]

Because WWE is afraid of letting people talk for themselves.

Bryan was there.

So basically, the WHC champion and contenders are not main-eventers?

Best candidate for the eventual replacement of Jerry Lawler as color man on Raw?

My five.
1. JBL (solid)
2. Mick Foley (if only)
3. Edge (I think the man could do a good job)
4. Regal (Probably my #1 the more I think about it).
5. Heyman (never would happen, and Cole would have to go face).

In essence yeah.

4. Regal (Probably my #1 the more I think about it).
5. Heyman (never would happen, and Cole would have to go face).

Of those, I'd take JBL of them. They'll probably go with someone leaving the ring but who can still fill in at times, like Booker.
