Well anymore the idea seems to be to NOT have people become big stars.

How much do you think the WWE is legitimately frightened that if their wrestlers become big stars, they'll leave like The Rock?

 

[klunderbunker]

They just had great chemistry together and you can't really learn to do that. It wasn't the spots they had or anything like that. Some guys just work well together and Mankind is a guy who can mesh with any style pretty easily. Also the natural dynamic worked perfectly: Rock is a highly trained athlete who has excelled at every sport he's ever tried while Foley is a guy who isn't in great shape but has a ton of heart and loves what he does so much that he'll never quit. It's Rocky vs. Apollo which is a classic matchup. Their comedic timing helped really well too.

Changing the title that much was fine.

Way too much as the theory is stupid when you think about it for more than three seconds.

-If TW sold WCW to EB and his investment group would WCW still be in business for 2013
-What would both WCW and WWE look like IYO for 2013

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it.

WCW wouldn't be around. WWE wouldn't have changed much.

When will Antonio Caesaro's title run end? He's coming along though, better on the mic. But this anti-American persona is old and been done millions of times before.

and

Thoughts on Damien Sandow

 

[klunderbunker]

Both guys are solid and have a bright future. Cesaro could hold the title for awhile. My original guess was Swagger but I'm not sure now.

I hate to see Eve go.

Sure, the divas division is whack.

but by the releases of Beth Phoenix, Eve, Kelly Kelly, etc. There isn't a top diva in the division. Do you think Kaitlyn can bring the division back up?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not a chance.

While everyone seems to have there own definition of who the greatest wrestler or wrestlers of all time are, the differences seem to arise from the criteria one uses. When posed with the question who are the greatest wrestlers of all time what criteria do you take into account? Are those criteria weighted equally? Or do some have more importance that others? And finally, using your criteria what would your top 5 look like?

 

[klunderbunker]

Entertainment value/drawing ability is the only one that matters. Brad Armstrong could wrestle one of the best matches you'll ever see, but people aren't paying to see him.

Hogan
Austin
Rock
Cena
Andre

4/5 can be swapped.

^^^^^^^

Using the criteria you laid out how would you rank the following guys who are considered to be some of the best wrestling wrestlers of all time?

Bret Hart
Shawn Michaels
Kurt Angle
Mr. Perfect
Ric Flair
Macho Man

 

[klunderbunker]

Flair
Savage
Shawn
Bret
Angle
Perfect

Now keep in mind, there's a big difference between favorites and best.

Last year Santino was within a split second of winning the WHC. Many people claim that he's too much of a comedic act to be a legitimate threat. If that were the case, then why is that every time Santino gets close to the World title, how come he gets a huge crowd reaction? Do you find Santino to be someone who could be a believable World champion even as a Comedy character?

In a different class as I've only seem some of Thesz' stuff. From what I understand, he was a huge draw though so way up there. As for the other three, it isn't fair to compare them to American stars as they're different worlds.

Believable? No.

As for why it happens, people love underdogs. The simple fact that something COULD happen is more than enough to get people to care. It's why title matches are more interesting than non-title matches.

Understood. I hate Jordan but if I'm ranking basketball players he's number 1.

I have only been watching ROH for about the last year and just starting to collect DVD's of them and just have a few question about ROH:
-Was ROH not PG before SBC bought them
-If they were at least PG-13 would it make a little bit of difference for them
-I noticed on their websites for DVD's alot of PWG stuff so waht type of business relationship does ROH and PWG have

 

[klunderbunker]

PG-13 for the most part.
Not really.
A lot of indy companies have relationships and share talent and all that jazz. FIP used to be their sister promotion.

why do people think dolph is so great on the mic all of the sudden?

 

[Richard Blonoff]

With the exceptions of Miz who is still trying to get over as a face, and Orton who has been reported to be turning heel for the last year, are there any faces who you think would be a better heel, or vice versa?

Follow up to that. Why do you think so many smarks prefer heels?

He sounds different. That's about it.

Not off the top of my head.

Because they think it's cool.

What was the heaviest tag team that has ever competed in a match?

You can include multi-man matches like the Survivor Series elimination matches, but not gimmick matches such as War Games.
