[Uncle Sam]

Can you think of any other massive turnabouts brought about by gimmick changes akin to Husky Harris/Bray Wyatt?

 

[klunderbunker]

Do you think we will ever get a Dudley Boyz DVD and if not not is it because it would solely be tag matches

UFC PPV buyrates are down but on average still slightly ahead WWE so why do you think UFC has hit a lull over the last two years. Is it not creating enough new stars or when they had Lesnar that was their blossoming period and it will be hard to get back to those numbers

ROH's announcement was to go to PPV starting with Best In The World. Do you believe that great production has to happen on that night with at least one major swerve

According to some entertainment insiders WWE must change their module of creating stars because many believe within the next few years WWE could see the lowest percentage of new fans following their product within that 5-7 year period. I believe thats the time frame WWE has always kept in mind of trying to attract new fans. I guess thats WWE's way of seperating generations that 5-7 year window. Do you think WWE might be in trouble of creating new stars that are on the levels of Hogan,Austin, and Rock. Lets really be honest nobody since Austin left has come even close to his numbers and I think at the very least Bret Hart's or HBK's numbers is the average that WWE will critique most of their top talent and Cena falls in line with those numbers

Sure and yeah probably.

Big names being gone and too many shows.

Not if they're smart and wanting to do what they say.

Guys like that aren't people you just create. It's not that simple.

Favourite match at each of them?

Bryan vs. HHH
HHH vs. Cactus Jack
Hogan vs. Earthquake
Tag Team
Brock vs. Cena
Whatever the ladder match was that night.

Do you think given the events of last weeks RAW with Bryan not their and Shield cementing their face status against The Authority that on tonight's RAW we could see The Shield get a louder ovation than Bryan?

Could this potentially lead to another Hogan/Warrior post Mania 6 situation with Warrior playing second fiddle to Hogan even though he was champion at the time?

It's not impossible.

I have a bad feeling that's coming, especially if Bryan is just fighting Kane.

Fake Diesel to Kane is a good place to start.

Looking back now at Legacy with everyone raving on at how big Dibiase Jr. was gonna be, do you see any similarities to that with what's happening now with guys like The Shield, Bray Wyatt and Cesaro? As in, how they're being hyped up as the next big thing when they may not be?

Did Dibiase Jr. have a chance at being the top face everyone said he would be?

When was the last time a crop of new talent was this good?

 

[scomvp316]

I was wondering would of it made a big enough difference for both Sting and Jim Crockett Promotions if on the first Clash of Champions Sting in the last minute of the match beat Flair for the title instead of I believe Great American Bash '90

Also how many "Face's of the Company" under Vince has happened through planning and not just spur of the moment

What is your favorite United States Championship match WWE version?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Who's better; HHH or HBK?

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Due to the longevity of the Undertaker character and Mark Calaway's dedication to staying in character, would Undertaker have to be inducted into the Hall of Fame before Calaway can be an on-screen presence in his own right?

I'm thinking that the likes of Austin, HHH, HBK, Kane and others have been able to appear in authority roles while also being thought of as backstage leaders but Taker's character doesn't seem to allow for that transition despite Calaway being a person of influence.

Or in other words, what is the non-wrestling future for Taker/Calaway?

Nah. DiBiase was pretty much just one promo and not much else after that.

A chance? Yeah. It was over in a few seconds though.

2002 which isn't going to be topped.

He wasn't ready.

Not many at all.

Ryder b. Ziggler.

More or less yeah.

Not happening.

Not much.

Not watching a 12 minute video.

Oh and Shawn > HHH to whoever asked that.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Do you see the parallels in this Evolution vs Shield and Kane vs Bryan matches? Im talking about Bad Blood in 2004 when Shawn and HHH had that hell in a cell match after Benoit's match with Kane. It made Benoit's match an afterthought and kept the focus on Triple H after Mania XX. I fear this is the same thing with Triple H putting himself in a match with the Shield that will more than likely upstage Bryan's match with Kane.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I can see that.

 

[zomigosh]

What was the most relevant time period for the IC Title of this era?

What years the best to start watching Nitro from?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nothing really jumps out. Uh....Cody Rhodes' reign I guess.

1995.

 

[zomigosh]

Other than that the whole Jericho/Mysterio feud I guess.

Chances of Kane/Dbry closing Extreme Rules?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd be surprised.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Much like you I was worried about a potential Kane/Bryan match at Extreme Rules. But after Raw I am really coming around on the match and curious to see how Bryan gets his revenge on Kane and in what way he will lay him out.

Do you feel the same or did the events of Raw not change your mind on the match?

 

[Remix]

Who do you see leaving ER with the IC title?

What are the odds of Evolution adding a fourth member?

The Raw angle helped a lot. Kane won't win but a good promo could push it even higher.

Barrett.

Not likely.

To further this question & answer. It is being said that Batista is going to be taking some time off after ER for media stuff. So, with that said, does that make it more possible to add another member to further the feud?

Also, why hasn't Michael P.S. Hayes been inducted to the HoF yet?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah kind of.

No clue as there's no reason for him not to be yet.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

When you think of The Rock during the Attitude Era do you most remember him as a heel or face?

 

[klunderbunker]

Face.,

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

What's your opinion on the dynamic created by pairing an unofficially face turned Cesaro with a heel Heyman? I feel with Heyman's skillset he could easily get Cesaro over as a face, but that's never going to happen if he keeps mentioning the Undertaker. Are they going to try and force Cesaro to stay heel?

Also, if Heyman continues to talk about Lesnar beating the Undertaker, doesn't that diminish Cesaro's presence as a character?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not really.

Not when Cesaro finally snaps and says what about me and wants a match with Lesnar to prove his worth.

Good thinking. Although that makes for a short "Heyman Guy" run. But would also get him over as a face in a really big way.
