He's improved with charisma lately but he's going to have the same issues that all heels with submission moves as finishers have.

In a 2/3 falls match for a championship. If one of the falls is by disqualification or count out does the title switch?

 

[klunderbunker]

It depends on what company you watch. The general rule of thumb I've seen is that the deciding fall is the one that matters, meaning if you win fall #1 by DQ but get the second by pin, it's a new champion.

There never was a South American Heavyweight Championship, nor a tournament to unify it with the North American Heavyweight Championship! Did you know about this? Why didn't you tell me? My whole life has been a lie.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh sure there was. It was that one guy. You know the one I mean. He lost it in a 10/12/14/16 man tournament to Pat Patterson, because people unify two belts in a tournament instead of in a singles match.

What's up with people calling wrestlers in their mid-thirties "old"?

Also, can you list five wrestlers who started out "late" instead of their late teens? I don't remember where I read it, but Tara once said it's never too late to break into the business. I think about what she said when I doubt myself for not having started already like I originally planned.

 

[klunderbunker]

People being too critical is what's up with it.

Five? Not really, but the easiest pick is DDP, who didn't become a full time wrestler until his late 20s. Uh.....Boogeyman was about 40. There aren't many people who didn't start early. Hogan debuted in the indies at 24 but wasn't in the WWF as a top guy (the first time) until he was about 26. Hulkamania started when he was about 29-30. There really aren't that many big name cases of it. Oh and Angle was 30 when he debuted in WWF.

Batista was 32/33 for his WWE debut.

Doe you think that this whole AJ/Bryan/Punk thing is actually gonna go anywhere or just kinda fizzle out?

 

[klunderbunker]

I think it's going somewhere. At least I hope it does. The good thing is they haven't invested much in it so if it does go nowhere, it's not a big deal.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

I have a weird idea about the whole aj, punk bryan storyline. It seems like she only goes for champions, so do you think they'll turn her into a heel and a gold digger? or do you think it's pure coincidence that both guys she likes have held gold...now I know bryan didn't have gold when they started but he did have money in the bank if I remember correctly, which is a thing where no one has lost when cashed in.

So she sees bryan having the case, knows she can get in on the ground floor so to speak and starts dating bryan. he loses the belt and she gets dumped (all is working to plan) and she sees punk, holding onto the wwe championship and winning his title defenses.

Thoughts? It seems a little too good for most of their writers but you have to admit the signs are there.

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably too much of a coincidence.

On his recent 'youshoot', Vince Russo said something along the lines of;

its ridiculous to have a realistic and reality based storyline, then have an 'obviously fake' match

He went on to say how this needed to be changed from a grassroots level.

Just wanted your thoughts on this

 

[klunderbunker]

That Russo certainly seemed to enjoy trying to do that.

As for the reality stuff, this is one of my big annoyances in wrestling. I don't watch wrestling to see reality. I watch it to see stuff that isn't reality. I don't care about people "shooting" on each other or talking about backstage jargon. I watch wrestling to see over the top characters doing and saying over the top things.

Would you like to see Paul Heyman tonight on Raw?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd like to see someone on Raw tonight instead of Big Show dominating things. I'd rather see Cena though.

Thoughts on the new WWE title belt rumors? (I think a change is long overdue)

Sin Cara got a big press conference for his signing, what was the last star to get that treatment? The only one i remember is that Tiger guy who bombed HARD.

It needs one. The one they have now looks ridiculous.

No one springs to mind. Hogan got one in WCW.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

What are your thoughts on Hollywood heel Rock from 2003?

 

[klunderbunker]

I like the intro better each time I see it. He was handcuffed by bad competition though.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Rock vs Cena, who should really win that WZ Tourney Final?

 

[klunderbunker]

Initially I would have said Rock but some of what I read in there is making me unsure.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Are you going to vote?

 

[klunderbunker]

I might eventually. I'm not sure yety.
