Bret/Vader for me.

On Main Event last night they did a segment where Cesaro and Heyman questioned whether Mark Henry was really the World's Strongest Man (Heyman kept calling Cesaro the World's Strongest Athlete). Who do you think is legitimately the strongest man in the WWE or wrestling in general?

 

[klunderbunker]

Henry and it's not really even close.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Henry and it's not really even close.

I thought Big E actually broke some of Henry's records. Maybe I'm remembering announcer bs.

 

[klunderbunker]

He might have but Henry has won major competitions. I don't think Big E. has done that.

Considering how the titles have been devalued through years of hotshotting and crash TV booking, is there any chance of ever having them mean anything again or has that horse left the barn never to return? And if they can be revalued, how could the WWE go about doing it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh sure. It wouldn't take long at all.

Have the champion win a bunch of matches then build up a challenger the same way. Have them fight for the title, repeat.

 

[DarksideEric]

In your opinion, who has the better looking top rope elbow?

Savage or Michaels?

How important is the Armstrong family when compared to other wrestling families?

 

[klunderbunker]

Savage.

Not really.

Very good!

So the followup is: Do you think they'll ever do it and why or why not?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sure they will at some point, when they feel like it again. The writing and booking tends to be on complete whims.

[DarksideEric]

Sorry for the lists, but I've grown to like using you as a good source of what to watch on the Network

Non-list question:

A couple times we've seen wrestlers return from lengthy injuries/vacations with different hair or facial hair, but then they often go back to what they had. Why do you think this is?

I remember Edge coming back with a beard but had it gone within a couple weeks I think.

What's your favorite top rope move?

 

[klunderbunker]

To make the return more jarring.

It was Survivor Series 2008.

Savage's elbow.

 

[DarksideEric]

What do you feel was the first "hardcore" match?

 

[klunderbunker]

There's a bunch of stuff from the territories that would qualify as such.

 

[DarksideEric]

Your favorite and least favorite shoot moment/interview?

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't really have one of either.

I was reading an interview with Bob Holly a few days back. Why was Holly such a dick, and how did he keep a job so long? 15 years in the WWE, and he is probably most famous for breaking his neck, cutting his back open, and being stiff to the guys on Tough Enough.

 

[klunderbunker]

Partially because he was tough. Sometimes you need guys like that to talk people down in a locker room.

Could it be safe to say that Taker losing to Brock may end up being the Shocker of the Decade?

 

[klunderbunker]

Other than Cena returning at Royal Rumble 2008 and Rock returning to host Wrestlemania, yeah probably.

His autobiography really is a treat. Especially because he hates HHH. But Vince really liked him, for the most part. even let him keep the expensive race car he bought him for the Sparkplug gimmick.

Did Bret - Savage ever have a match at a Pay Per View?

Who do you put the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt on now? (assuming Bryan will be out for a while)
