Shane has another job.

Shane has another job.

He doesn't work for WWE? I haven't followed the backstage workings in a long time.

 

[klunderbunker]

He hasn't for....at least three years now. He's on the board of a company that offers on demand cable and internet service in China.

Yeah I just read up on that, as I said, I haven't followed the workings of WWE in quite a while.

So what's his best match?

And how do you rate Halloween Havoc '97 amongst the WCW PPVs?

 

[klunderbunker]

THe Love Her Or Leave Her match against Test.

Good show until the main event.

 

[Danger Burger]

THe Love Her Or Leave Her match against Test.

He's had a complicated relationship with Test then?

Shane's top of my non-wrestler list. The backlash match, the King of the Ring match and the match with his dad were all good showings for a kid with little training.

 

[klunderbunker]

It was the Attitude Era. Everything was complicated.

 

[DarksideEric]

What year or era do you feel the midcard titles meant the most in both WCW and WWE?

Which Japanese company has a solid collection of matches to watch for someone who's not seen much of any Japanese wrestling? And where might one best find it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Late 80s.

I'm not a puro fan. Like at all.

Which midcard title do you feel has had the most power to it? (were titles like the TV Title considered midcard?)

Okay, since the Japan question feel through, do you have a favorite five Cruiserweight matches from WCW?

 

[klunderbunker]

They were but they were more valuable back then. The IC.

Eddie vs. Mysterio - HH 97
Rey vs. Psychosis - Bash at the Beach 96
Dean vs. Dragon - Clash XXXV
Pick a Mysterio vs. GUerrera match

You've given me a lot to look forward to on the Network. Thanks much

How do you think Bret Hart would have fared if he signed with WCW out of Stampede? Or let's say, left WWF for WCW when the Hart Foundation tag team split?

 

[Dirk]

Where is a good place to start brushing up on puro? What I'm looking for is the Japanese equivalent of NWA.

They would have screwed him up and said there's no way to market you, ala Steve Austin and Mick Foley.

You think people read half of the jazz I write?

 

[DarksideEric]

Did you like Vinnie Vegas and the Diamond Stud?

 

[klunderbunker]

To a degree yeah.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

When was the last time the WWE title changed hands on television?

 

[klunderbunker]

When Cena beat Rey the night Punk returned in 2011.`

 

[DarksideEric]

Has there ever been a show where all titles changed hands on the same night?

 

[klunderbunker]

Armageddon 2003, with Evolution winning all of the belts.

Not counting the Women's Title?

 

[klunderbunker]

Why would I count that?

Good point

What's the longest single match, regardless of gimmick (Iron Man, Rumble, etc) to ever take place?

 

[klunderbunker]

You could argue it's the Hardcore Title being defended 24/7, which went on for years.

Other than that I believe it's the Island Deathmatch from Japan which ran for over two and a half hours.
