Yep. It's a stupid way of giving someone a shortcut to the main event too.

I was watching the Beniot vs Randy Orton match at Summerslam just a moment ago and the handshake after made me wanted to see that more between a heel and face. What do you think about that? Would you like to see it more as a sign of respect?

 

[klunderbunker]

If a heel shakes a lot of faces' hands, he's not going to be a heel for that long.

How did Goldberg stand in that pyro for his entrances?

Sorry wasn't properly clear on that. Using the handshake as a way to turn the heel into a face, Do you think that should be used a bit more?

 

[klunderbunker]

He stood behind it a bit I believe. Either that or it was fake.

Yeah but there needs to be more than that.

I've heard all kinds of rumors about stuff like that, including that for awhile every WWF/E champion had to ride a large black strap on worn by Stephanie.

didn't steph say she did that to austin on howard stern?

I think so but obviously it's hard to say how serious it is.

 

[i'm a cm punk girl]

who would you put in a new version of the nation of domination?

 

[klunderbunker]

No one if I had my pick.

I guess Truth, Henry and....dang there aren't many black WWE guys that don't suck. Langston and Henry being in the same stable would suck and JAckson sucks in general. The PTP are too goofy to fit. I'm not sure who you could put in there other than those two but I guess the Players if they got serious.

Do you think they need to just turn Kofi Kingston heel? Do you think he would make a good one if they did?

 

[klunderbunker]

No. He would be a terrible heel.

do you think ryder will get released?
what's the 1st wrestling toy you brought?

What do you think the main event matches for WrestleMania will be and what do you think they should be?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah I doubt it.

As in that I had? A Hogan figure.

 

[klunderbunker]

What do you think the main event matches for WrestleMania will be and what do you think they should be?

Will be:

Lesnar vs. HHH
Undertaker vs. Punk
Rock vs. Cena

Should be:

Rock vs. Cena vs. Punk (maybe)
Taker vs. Lesnar

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Will be:

Lesnar vs. HHH
Undertaker vs. Punk
Rock vs. Cena

Should be:

Rock vs. Cena vs. Punk (maybe)
Taker vs. Lesnar

Let's say the matches bolded take place, who does Taker face? A young upstart or a crafty veteran?

 

[Thriller Ant]

Will be:

Lesnar vs. HHH
Undertaker vs. Punk
Rock vs. Cena

Should be:

Rock vs. Cena vs. Punk (maybe)
Taker vs. Lesnar

I've heard you say this a couple times, but knowing your hatred of triple threats, it still surprises me to see it. Is this more because of Punk earning a spot in the main event, there being nothing else to do with him, or something else?

Probably upstart. I'm thinking maybe Barrett but that's too big of a stretch for him. The only option that leaves that's new is Sheamus, and while that makes makes me come as close to drooling as possible while staying dry, I don't think it'll happen.

I love logical booking even more, and all the trash talk for the last two years would seem to lead to that match. At the end of the day though, the idea of Rock being used in a three way at Wrestlemania just feels......wrong.

Weekly or one time only?

Weekly.

1. A reason to watch next week.

2. A solid opening segment. Opening with talking is fine, but stop with the 20 minute opening interviews to set up an obvious match.

3. Don't waste time with skits and segments in the back. I don't need three meetings with Vickie explaining matches to me.

4. Good balance. In other words, don't have 30 minutes of talking then a match then 30 more minutes of talking then another match. Space stuff out so your fans never say "GET TO SOMETHING ELSE ALREADY!".

5. Mix up the styles. WWE is really bad about this anymore. Have some power stuff, some high flying, some technical stuff, a hard hitting brawl, submission stuff, whatever combination you like. Just don't have three or four matches with the exact same style in a row. This isn't 1987 anymore.

6. Keep big matches rare. That's what PPV is for.

7. Don't establish a pecking order. Again, compare Raw to NXT. On Raw, it's very clear who would be whom in almost any given match. On NXT, it's nowhere near that simple and it makes matches exciting.

I think that's enough for now.

You should probably try watching Main Event. Sure it has no reason to exist (other than money) but it meets most of your criteria.

1. Sheamus vs Ziggler next week.
2. Yes there was
3. They don't overdo that. I assume short interviews are kosher, of course.
4. There was. Hype for first match, first match. Post match promo. Raw shit, IC champ promo, matches 2-5 (all featuring IC champ), tune in next week. Both matches were able to further an angle.
5. Yes they did.
6. As much as you can expect in WWE.
7. Yep, to NXT/FCW levels if nothing else.
