How would you rate Fully Loaded 2000 out of 10? Best matches?

8/10. HHH vs. Jericho and Benoit vs. Rock.

 

[klunderbunker]

Got two of them here for you.

1. We were the final four in a Royal Rumble match. Between us we have a total of 13 World titles, 14 tag team titles, and 18 secondary titles, plus 16 Slammy Awards. Only two of us have gone by different names and/or gimmicks in the WWE. Three of us were primarily tag team wrestlers for a while; the fourth wasn't, although he has been a tag team champion. Three of us competed in that year's Wrestlemania, although only one of us left with a championship. One of us holds a Rumble record, and is co-holder of another one. Three of us have entered the Rumble at #1—two of us have done it twice—though none of us were the first man in this particular Rumble. And one of us has been involved in two different controversial Rumble moments. Who are we? (And what year is this?)

2. Who am I? I'm a moderately famous legend of the sport, despite my sole Wrestling Observer Newsletter award being a negative one (PWI has been slightly more generous). I've had tag title reigns with three men in my career, although most people only remember me teaming with one of them. I've had one more male managers than I have had female managers. I've used a piledriver as a finisher but most people know my other finisher better (heck, one guy got a job based on how well he took it!), although the piledriver became useful in a later tag team. I'm currently on a WWE legends contract, and while I don't consider wrestling my main job anymore I do dabble a little in it. A born again Christian, a WWE Hall of Famer, an Evolution Schematic subject, and a guy who once lost a title via a very famous and bloody moment in a cage. Who am I?

Its a pretty cool thing, part of an editorial called 'ask 411' where the guy basically does what you do here. I think it comes out every tuesday or wednesday. Thought you might get a kick either way.

The second is Tully Blanchard. I'm working on the first one still. If you're interested, the guy who got a job out of how well he took the finisher (slingshot suplex) was Big Bubba Rogers, more famous as Big Boss Man.

The second is 1994 with Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Fatu and Lex Luger, though they're using WWF stats only, which is VERY misleading.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I think it's 1994, with HBK, Hart, Luger and Fatu.

EDIT: Never mind, KB got it anyway.

Zack Ryder's best match then?

 

[klunderbunker]

TLC vs. Ziggler.

You don't need me to tell you that you're right. I got the Tully Blanchard, though I only knew half the information. They do an in depth answer the week after which is nice, good for finding out, say, that Blanchard's WON award was for Worst Fued with Midnight Rider.

I might be looking back through a few in the next few days, if I see any up to your standard I'll throw them up here.

 

[TLC]

Would Reigns look stronger by defeating Ambrose and Rollins in a triple threat or in a handicap match at WM?

 

[klunderbunker]

I wouldn't do handicap as it hurts their image. The triple threat doesn't do much for me but I've heard worse ideas.

 

[Alex]

Can we say Damien Sandow has fallen off the wagon since losing his MITB match

 

[klunderbunker]

He wasn't on a wagon even after the win.

AJ Lee inducting Lita. Yay or nay?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nay. Trish.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

If you were given the opportunity, list three WWE Hall of Fame members you would remove from the Hall of Fame and three you would induct.

Also, what is your opinion of the number and criteria of Hall of Fame inductees inducted each year?

 

[klunderbunker]

Johnny Rodz, Ivan Putski and Baron Scicluna out for Randy Savage, Demolition and Honky Tonk Man.

I wouldn't go higher than 5 a year. I don't have any set criteria.

[MCMG]

What would you say were Kane's best matches?

Also, thoughts on Shelton Benjamin? Did he deserve to be World Champ?

 

[klunderbunker]

His matches with Jericho are good. Uh.....his 2002/2003 run was good. I think I'm missing something though.

Not yet but he was getting there.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Outside of Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, which cities have the most passionate/smarky fans?

 

[klunderbunker]

St. Louis

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

What was the point of Saturday Night's Main Event in the 80's? All (or most of) the matches on the card rarely went beyond 5 minutes or so, right?

 

[klunderbunker]

To show wrestling in prime time on national TV. Back then the big wrestling shows were on the weekends and usually in the morning/early evening. WCW's big show aired at 6:05 weekly but on cable. Back then, the networks were still a big deal.

Current NXT star you see winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title first? (not including any NXT stars recently called up for obvious reasons - Bray, Roman, etc)
