Chances of Hogan?

 

[klunderbunker]

0.

 

[Vega]

If you had to take a guess right now, which rating will you give to WM30?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm going to be biased because I'll be there. A+.

 

[Danger Burger]

Will you be doing a seperate rewatch review after being there?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah. I'm not going to take notes while I'm there.

 

[KettleFace]

Are you going with anyone or by yourself?

What are your seats like and have you got plans to go to HOF/Axxess/Raw?

 

[klunderbunker]

Just me.

I'm near the stage, lower level. Yes on Axxess and Raw, no on Hall of Fame.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Between Edge and Jericho who would you say had the bigger impact on the industry?

 

[klunderbunker]

Neither had a big one. Jericho though for jumping from WCW and showing what the WCW guys can do.

Has there ever been a more out-of-touch booking decision? This feels like Starrcade 97 levels of stupidity.

€dit: Yeah, I know the company's wellbeing wasn't on the line here, but everything in the last ten minutes got the exact opposite reaction of what was desired.

I sent Becca an email as soon as it was over:

I've seen over 60,000 wrestling matches in my life and I have never seen a crowd completely change directions like that before.

Now, all hope is not yet lost. There are ten weeks left before Wrestlemania and a lot can change. If they don't change by then though, yes this is missing out on as big of a chance as there is ever going to be.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

With all the match combinations they could do for Mania, probably more so than ever guaranteeing big matches, why are they doing the ones like Batista vs Orton that NO one except vince and triple h want to see, and Cena vs Wyatt which makes no sense when Cena could face Taker? I know nothing is set in stone but its mind boggling

 

[klunderbunker]

It's not mind boggling.

People want to see WWE create new stars. Cena vs. Wyatt at Wrestlemania creates a BIG new star.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Yeah but this is Wrestlemania 30. Surely Cena vs Taker is THE match for the show right? Why have they not done it yet what are they scared of?

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Here's the real question about the DB situation - if WWE does decide DB's a big deal, they have to go all in. They can't have another CM Punk/Randy Orton/Ryback #2 situation. What do I mean? DB has to be the #1 guy, meaning he takes Cena's spot. Are they ready to do that?

Maybe Undertaker doesn't want it?

No, because Bryan isn't ready to be the #1 guy. #1A is all you're going to get in WWE and there's nothing wrong with that.

You and I know that, but does this rabid fan base understand this? I've never seen the fans so angry. I'm not sure they'll accept anything less than flat-out #1. With the network launching, they have a lot to lose...

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah they do. Cena is going to be #1 no matter what, even if he's fighting Bray Wyatt.

 

[Vega]

No, because Bryan isn't ready to be the #1 guy. #1A is all you're going to get in WWE and there's nothing wrong with that.

Has there ever been a guy that was never #1 and got better reactions than Bryan consistently in the last year?

 

[klunderbunker]

Austin in 97 and Rock in 1999. THat's some good company to be in.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Yeah they do. Cena is going to be #1 no matter what, even if he's fighting Bray Wyatt.

Yes the fans understand this or yes they have a lot to lose?

 

[Vega]

That's why I asked for "never #1", as Austin was and Rock is arguable. I'll accept Rock.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yes the fans understand this or yes they have a lot to lose?

The fans understand it. Well some of them anyway. The others aren't going to notice.

That's why I asked for "never #1", as Austin was and Rock is arguable. I'll accept Rock.

I missed the never part.

Randy Savage in 1989 (stretch) and Chris Benoit in 2003.

With smark culture overtaking even the casuals, is it ruining certain aspects of wrestling?
