Do you agree that Randy Orton hasn't been exciting since 2010? 2009 universally?

 

[klunderbunker]

No. I liked him last year.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Do you think you could take on Rey Mysterio in a real life fight?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not a chance.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Hey, do you know what ever happened to Shark Boy?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably in the indies. He was just a comedy character so there was no point to having him around anymore.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Would you like an episode of Monday Night Raw starring Chris Jericho? He could be the interim GM for one night, host his highlight reel, and wrestle a top guy in the main event, preferably CM Punk all in one night.

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. I'd get annoyed by the overkill.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Out of Ryback, Antonio Cesaro, Damien Sandow and Tensai, which one would you like to see become a World Champion someday?

 

[klunderbunker]

Cesaro or Ryback.

What do you think of WWE's recent trend of adding unannounced matches to a pay-per-view's card? I mean, it's not exactly new, but it's seemed more prominent in recent months, especially with squashes. Come to think of it, am I wrong in saying it's been worse lately or have they definitely been booking more unannounced matches than before?

If I'm right, I guess it's a good idea to cool down crowds without sacrificing fan reactions to matches they actually want a lively audience right. Plus it does give you additional piss breaks if you're uninterested in seeing Ryback squash more local jobbers. Maybe it's irrational, but my problem with it is that it feels like it devalues the show. Ideally, a pay-per-view should be awesome from top-to-bottom. It just hurts my impression when I have to say, "Oh yeah, it was great besides the two squash matches and bad comedy segment."

 

[klunderbunker]

This is nothing new. In ECW, you would be lucky to know five out of eight matches on any given PPV.

Here's the thing: if you announce Ryback will be in action on the PPV, it's not going to get any extra buys more than likely. So why talk about it? Focus on the matches that mean something and can bring you money.

Here is a question that is semi-wrestling related: What are your thoughts on WZCW, our forums e-fed? Do you follow it or mostly skip over it?

 

[klunderbunker]

I spent two and a half years writing a parody e-fed that poked fun at WZCW by existing. What do you think my stance on e-feds are?

 

[Martin Gabriel]

What did you think about AJ wearing Kane's mask on Raw?

 

[klunderbunker]

That it's impressive that she can look cute when you can't see her face.

What do you think about the current plan for Raw's three hour shows?

Here is what I read a few minutes ago

According to F4WOnline.com, the current plan in WWE is to heavily push, both on TV and on Twitter, the top of each hour of Raw once it moves to three hours.

WWE would spend the first hour of Raw hyping a match or segment that will take place at the start of hour 2, use the second hour to hype a match or segment that will begin at the top of hour three, and then use the last hour to push the main event.

What do you think about that?

 

[klunderbunker]

That I'm going to get really tired of hearing about these segments over and over again.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Who do you think is the greatest Raw Diva ever?

 

[PlayTheGame]

Some people seem to think Triple H will beat Lesnar at Summerslam. Not a chance, right? I don't see it happening...

 

[klunderbunker]

Trish.

I don't really either but that seems to be the general consensus.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Do you have your own nicknames for wrestlers? I have one for The Great Khali.

I call him the giant walking robot lol.

 

[klunderbunker]

No not really.

"- Vince McMahon issued a directive to WWE scouts recruiting athletes as prospective talent; they must meet a size requirement of 6'2" and 240 pounds. The WWE chief is concerned that many of his top-tier talents are approximately 200 pounds, thus small by his standards. His remark to Daniel Bryan on last week's episode of Raw Supershow where nobody would believe him to be a WWE Superstar if he was spotted in a grocery store was based on his frustration with his roster's lack of sufficient size. McMahon believes many of his top stars are not reaching the masses because they don't possess 'the Superstar look.'"

Your thoughts? I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Who by most is the greatest superstar ever? HBK? yeah I dont think he was 6'2 240, I may be wrong, but don't think so.

 

[klunderbunker]

Those people would be wrong. The biggest superstar ever was about 6'7 and 300lbs. The second biggest was about 6'2 and 245.
