How should Bret Hart have been used at Starrcade 1997?

I'm not KB, but I felt the guest referee thing was fine, if they had just put him between Sting & Hogan. If he was going to wrestle a match, any squash match would have done the trick.

Can you/Do you agree with the notion of Ryback potentially becoming a huge draw in future?

Possibly but they have to go about it correctly, which is where WWE screws up most of th time.

The referee thing was pretty stupid. Put him in a match somewhere, even in a squash. Going with a Montreal reference was asking for trouble, since there was a good chance a lot of people wouldn't get it.

Hey KB, what are your thoughts on Mr. Anderson and Garrett Bischoff?

 

[klunderbunker]

Anderson is decent but dull.
Garrett needs to fall out of a building.

What do you think of WWE's Attitude DVD only featuring PG content?

 

[klunderbunker]

It really doesn't surprise me.

What are some unpopular wrestling opinions from you?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Do you have any wrestling opinions of your own that would be unpopular with the IWC?

If WWE ever gets a large, significant talent pool again, should the minor pay-per-views ever be brand-divided like the post-attitude era was? I think it might make the gimmick PPVs have more meaning of TLC was a Smackdown PPV and Hell in a Cell was a RAW PPV, and the like.

Money in the Bank would still be cross-brand, of course. I'd even consider having it replace Survivor Series. Having it so close to WM is just silly.

John Cena is the best in the world and one of the top six or seven wrestlers of all time.

They already have a large, significant talent pool. There's no need to go single branded anymore.

You think they'd be okay if superstars only showed up on the other brand for a very significant occasion?

 

[klunderbunker]

It depends onw hat you mean by significant. WWE seems to think every other week is a significant show.

John Cena is the best in the world and one of the top six or seven wrestlers of all time.

The only problem I have with that statement is that I'd have trouble naming 6 guys better than him. Well, I could name 6 that sound fairly acceptable (Hogan, Austin, Rock, Macho Man (maybe), Thesz, Gagne. The order's unimportant.) but for 2 of them my knowledge is so limited that I couldn't justify picking them beyond regurgitating what I'd read in some of Gelgarin's posts. I'm not OK with that. I'd be happier to have Cena at 4/5 (depending on my mood) on my list because then I'm only ranking him behind the guys I know to be better than him, rather than taking the word of someone else that it is the case (though, I'd rather take Gelg's or your own word on the subject than most here).

If you were making a WWE Mount Rushmore, who would be the four faces you'd put on it?

 

[Aeon Mathix]

John Cena retires tomorrow. Who inducts him into the hall of fame?

And is it bad I completely forget Orton exists at times?

Hogan, Austin and Rock definitely would be. There's a case for Cena being 4th. The problem with guys like Thesz and Gagne is that they're from such a different era that it's almost impossible to make a comparison. They're both great and likely better than Cena, but it's not a comparison that you can really make.

In no order:

Hogan
Vince
Austin
Sammartino

Probably Edge or Orton.

Not at all.

I read on wrestlinginc that WWE is expected to offer Brock Lesnar another deal since the buyrate for SummerSlam was great this year and it had the most buys since 2008. So do you think Brock will accept the offer? And would you like for him to accept it?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd like him to, but it depends on what he hears from UFC. He's had another year to heal, and having him come in and destroy cans would give him a nice payday in the UFC.

What's up with ryback getting in the WWE Title picture?What do you feel about it?And how he should be involved?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm a huge Ryback fan so I'm fine with it. He's not really in the picture. He's really there just as a fallback plan just in case Cena can't go at the PPV.

Who do you think attacked Kaitlyn at Night of Champions?

 

[klunderbunker]

Beth more than likely, although it hink it was originally going to be Eve.

When was the last time Sheamus lost a match?

 

[klunderbunker]

Tag match to Ziggler back in July.

If WWE do end up doing a cruiserweight show, who would be 5 wrestlers (currently not on the main WWE roster) that you would like to see be a part of it.

I would go with Shelley, Sabin, PAC, Amazing Red and Jack Evans
