One thing about Christian's matches: Before/During the match he starts to clap his hand and the whole crowd follows. How important is such a small gesture? Why does no-one else do so nowadays?

 

[klunderbunker]

Because it makes no sense to do that in kayfabe?

As for what you actually mean, it's very important. Look back at the following names:

Flair
Austin
Rock
Hogan
Sting
Cena

All of them are among the biggest names ever right? All of them are some of the most over people ever. Among other things, one thing they all have in common is they directly speak to the crowd. Be it Austin asking if they would like to see something or Sting shouting at them or Flair telling a fat boy to sit down or Rock letting them finish his catchphrases or Cena talking about their criticisms of him, they all talk to the people on a regular basis. The easiest way in the world to get people to care about you is to acknowledge them. A fan loves nothing more than to feel like they're a part of the show and the results show that it's effective.

Say if Slyfox was involved in a boating accident which resulted in him falling into a coma for 7 weeks, and suffering from chronic amnesia afterwards, which wrestling match(es) would you show to him to help recover his memory?

 

[klunderbunker]

Daniel Bryan and CM Punk matches so he'll think they're the best in the world. The humor would be endless for at least a good two days.

I know Justin Roberts was in that car crash, but I didn't think it was that bad. My prayers go to his family.

You're not serious?

If you were forced to go around wearing a superstar's ring gear for one week, which outfit would you pick? John Cena, Max Moon and the Ultimate Warrior are already taken.

 

[klunderbunker]

Raven.

Who do you think has been the wrestler of the year so far, what is the feud of the year so far and the match of the year so far?

 

[klunderbunker]

Wrestler - I think it might be Bryan. Either him or Punk.

Feud - Cena vs. Rock. That's the only feud ever where I absolutely had to see the match.

Match - Taker vs. HHH in the Cell unless I'm overlooking something.

Would you rather go on a 3 day spa vacation with the Spirit Squad, or have the Great Khali as an au pair?

 

[klunderbunker]

Spirit Squad I think.

Do you ever get migraines from thinking about wrestling so much?

 

[Coco]

Is it just me or was SmackDown almost interesting last night?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh fuck! I just deleted it.

KB, comfort me;
Tell me Bully Ray's not done,
And that he'll re-sign?

Do you ever get migraines from thinking about wrestling so much?

No. I did get yelled at by Becca for watching it too much though.

Is it just me or was SmackDown almost interesting last night?

It was close. There were some stupid parts but they were trying in a way that they hadn't in a long time.

Oh fuck! I just deleted it.

KB, comfort me;

And that he'll re-sign?

It's looking more and more likely that he's going, which is a shame. Then again something could change at the last minute. It has before.

 

[Coco]

Do you think AW's release will be what hinders the tag division from getting interesting again? It's always something, isn't it?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm really hoping Young and O'Neal aren't de-pushed because of it. WWE has this strange habit of punishing people associated on screen with people who get in trouble off screen.

 

[Diet Soda]

Which three wrestlers would you least like to be trapped in an elevator for 3 hours with?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bastian Booger
Hornswoggle
Mabel

If Vince McMahon offered you a behind the scenes job with WWE - something small, but with a lot of potential to work your way up and achieving your dream position - would you take it? The catch is you have to babysit Triple H & Stephanie's kids on Monday nights, and every Saturday you have to help Mean Gene Okerlund do his groceries.

 

[klunderbunker]

In a heartbeat. I'd love to chill with Mean Gene.

 

[Death Before Disco]

What's the difference between the wrestling terms "mark" and "smark" when referring to fans?

 

[klunderbunker]

Marks are fans that buy into everything. Smarks are people that think they know what's really going on.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

How much hype do you expect WWE to put behind the 20th Anniversary(even though it's really the 19th) of Raw next January?
