Your predicted/ideal Main Event roster for the next year then?

The show or the main event part of the roster?

The WWE is at it's best position ever but why are the mid-80's and late 90's considered to be the "boom periods?"

It went from nothing to huge. Also, on February 5, 1988, the Main Event, a live special, drew THIRTY THREE MILLION PEOPLE. Today, four million is a reason for a party at WWE headquarters.

Roman Reigns Beast Mode vs Cesaro Beast Mode?

 

[klunderbunker]

Cesaro.

 

[zomigosh]

Main Event scene, my bad.

 

[klunderbunker]

About what it is now but add in Cesaro.

Man I'm getting a huge appreciation for Bret lately. He's leaned me a bit. Man could he move. What's Bret's best year as a singles wrestler and what's his worst year as a singles wrestler?

 

[klunderbunker]

Best - 1995. He was dragging everybody he could get his hands on to a good match. He had better matches in 1997 but his work at carrying others in 95 is a sight to behold.

Worst - 1999. He just did not care at all and it was obvious.

Is Savage the best #2 face in history?

Can't really think of anyone else that could top Hogan - Savage to be honest.

 

[klunderbunker]

Austin/Rock comes to mind.

Could Titus O'Neil have a good singles career?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah he could. The look and power alone will carry him pretty far.

Is it just me or has Rowan come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of months? Perhaps more than anyone else on the roster?

When he debuted, I viewed him as more of a spectacle than an in ring performer but now he is no longer that big green mess and at EC looked in no way out of place in a match of top quality gimmick and in-ring performers.

 

[klunderbunker]

He has. His match with Bryan was actually quite good.

That was because you couldn't find WWE footage online, you couldn't record shows for later and there were less channels. Breaking Bad is considered the best TV series and it's episode finale got ~10 million views. In 2003, the last episode of Friends got 50 million views.

Anyway, a couple of months ago, I asked you if there could be a star greater than Hogan in the future, in which you answered no because it's about the WWE, not the stars. What did you mean by that?

 

[klunderbunker]

Back in the day, Hogan was the attraction. Now it's the WWE. In the 80s, people cared about what Hulk Hogan did no matter what, because he was treated as being bigger than the business. The same was true of Austin. Todya, stars live in the WWE bubble. The WWE is the rocket pack, not them.

Think of it like this: Hogan and Austin were the horses that pulled the WWE. Cena is now the driver of the WWE. Does that make sense?

When did the streak become a thing (hyping it for Wrestlemania each year, if someone can break the streak etc)

And when did they decide to let the Undertaker have it. I remember it was coincidence for the first few Wrestlemania's. But when did they actually let Undertaker start winning them all?

 

[klunderbunker]

I remember JR saying UNdertaker had never lost at Wrestlemania going into the first Kane match but it wasn't a thing yet and he didn't mention a number. The first time I remember them giving it a number was the first HHH match which made him 9-0.

Probably around then. It gave them a built-in story and a guaranteed draw.

 

[Remix]

While his injury was a work, John Cena apparently torn his groin during the angle. Can you think of any times where something similar happened?

 

[klunderbunker]

I think that's what happened with Bob Orton but the story changes every time I hear it.

Let's say the WHC is still around as a singles world title with Cena as the champion. Batista wins the Rumble, and he chooses Cena as his opponent for Wrestlemania. Is there a better chance of Batista receiving a more positive reaction from the fans?

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

What can you tell me about Grizzly Smith and the Assassins?

Batista wouldn't receive a positive reaction from the fans if he made every day Christmas.

What can you tell me about Grizzly Smith and the Assassins?

SMith is a monster and Jake Roberts' dad. Moderate level attraction in the territory days and a backstage guy with WCW.

Which of the approximately 18 groups known as the Assassins are you referring to?

 

[therockiswwf]

Is there a reason why WWE stopped doing spring cleaning (firing a bunch of people at once if that wasn't clear)?

How does JTG still have a job? Does he do anything at all?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably bad PR.

Not really.

 

[Alex]

Apparently Jason Mamoa (Khal Drogo from Game Of Thrones) was up for the role of Drax that Batista got in Guardians Of The Galaxy but turned it down. Would Batista have come back to WWE regardless if Mamoa had got the role??
