Why do so many people hate Alberto Del Rio?

 

[klunderbunker]

Until his face turn he hadn't changed a bit and was just there whining about his destiny over and over again. Then he kept losing clean all the time so why should we care about him?

 

[Martin Gabriel]

Do you see 'The Shield' having a high profile match at WrestleMania XXIX?

I can see them in a 6 Man Tag Team Match against Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara.

 

[klunderbunker]

Maybe but probably not. Cara vs. Mysterio is likely hapening instead.

Thoughts on lex luger? Best WCW PPV in 98?

 

[klunderbunker]

Souled Out 98 was decent if I remember right.

Luger was great in the late 80s but once he got lazy he was pretty worthless.

I guess if Rey Mysterio Vs. Sin Cara does happen Del Rio could team with Team Hell No to face The Shield? I'd still prefer Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara Vs. The Shield cause I think my idea for the storyline makes sense.

-Given a new post-Wrestlmania contract with Brock Lesnar specifying 20 dates and four pay-per-views, how would you use him?

-Steve Austin contracts for a match at WM30, but it's unclear in January 2014 if he will be able to perform as a wrestler. How would you build his appearance at Wrestlemania with this uncertainty in mind?

Perhaps but it's hard to say from this far out.

First of all, don't use him for one storyline for five months and possibly 11 months if he fights HHH again at Mania as seems to be the plan. I'd have him go against some guys who need to prove they can hang in a big fight. Sheamus would work well for this. Lesnar is a guy who could get his reputation back quickly so having him lose some of these wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

Consider a tag match. They're much lighter work and someone gets to be Austin's partner. If he can come in, throw punches and Stun someone he'll be fine.

I just don't see Rey Mysterio Vs. Sin Cara happening? Last year at Mania 28 yeah but looking at the superstars that are obviously going to be on the card looking something like this...

• The Rock Vs. John Cena for WWE Title,
• The Undertaker Vs. CM Punk,
• Triple H Vs. Brock Lesnar,
• Dolph Ziggler Vs. Sheamus Vs. Randy Orton in a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Title,
• Ryback Vs. The Big Show,
• Kaitlyn Vs. AJ Lee for The Divas Championship,
• Wade Barrett defending the IC title against Christian,
• Antonio Cesaro defending the U.S title against The Miz
• Rhodes Scholars maybe defending WWE Tag Titles against Kofi Kingston & R-Truth,
• Kane & Daniel Bryan

It just leaves The Shield, Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara.

I guess if I am wrong about a singles match between Kane & Daniel Bryan they could team up with Alberto Del Rio to face The Shield & then that way Rey Mysterio Vs. Sin Cara could happen, who knows the card I think we'll get might be completely wrong but tbf I usually do guess majority of mania matches correctly.

Does the WWE really need Saturday morning slam and superstars?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not at all but it lets a few extra people get on TV. Also they're already in those arenas so making the shows costs them nothing, meaning any money they make off them is nearly pure profit. Also those shows do well overseas.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Orton is going to have to do something pretty drastic to turn heel isn't he? He was getting cheered as a heel already over 2 years ago.

 

[klunderbunker]

The RKO doesn't help him. It's too popular of a move to dislike.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

i forgot this but can you clarify something for me? why is RAW live and SmackDown taped?

 

[klunderbunker]

Live shows do better, and no one wants to work on Friday night.

 

[PsychoBlack]

What's Ortons Best non Christian non Cena match thats not at Backlash 2004?

 

[klunderbunker]

Summerslam 04 against Benoit.

 

[PsychoBlack]

Would you say WWE missed out on a Orton Batista mania main event or was it not that big of a deal?

 

[klunderbunker]

It wouldn't have been the main event but it would have been the second biggest match on a few Manias. They did miss a moment but not a huge one.

 

[PsychoBlack]

With Evolution being the only stable I can think of with 4 guys who were major draws on their own, are they the best ever?

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Thoughts on MVP's WWE run?

Any bad feelings about Punk being a possible leader for Shield? I don't like the idea of Punk's character leading stables. Punk brought up a valid point about the writers ruining the SES on his DVD, but the New Nexus is a different story.

No. That's like saying Edge and Christian are the best team ever because they had the most individual success later on. 2003 was so dreadful and they were on top for most of it so no, they're not the best ever.

I never got the mass appeal of him. He was fine but people kept talking about how he was one of the best in the company and I never saw it.

Not at all and that's the right move. At the end of the day, Punk just has to say he was lying and the fans all bought it and the people will hate him even more.

With Ziggy being Mr MitB for ages. Is he he the wrestler who (in one go) had it the longest?

 

[Барбоса]

Ever heard of a book called "The Wrestler"? It charts the rise and fall of wrestling in the UK from the arrival of George Hackenschmidt through to the incredibly popular but internally disastrous run of Big Daddy in the 80s and goes into some detail about the big names.

If you haven't, I think you would enjoy it.

Edge held the first briefcase from Wrestlemania XXI (3rd April, 2005) to New Year's Revolution (8th January, 2006).

Ziggler has a couple of months to go yet to beat that.
