Jeff Hardy is a shell of the shell that he once was and TNA doesn't know what they're doing?

 

[Alex]

I guess that's just age catching up to him.

But TNA did balls it up. The promos leading up to the debut were great then they just cocked it up. He seems to have lost more times than he's won. And not in a meaningful way.

Here's one I though of while watching RAW this week: Will the WWE be bale to resist the urge to turn the Wyatts face seeing as how they seem to be getting more face pop than heel heat these days?

Couldn't find a write up from you on your site for the 03/17/97 Raw which was the go home show for Mania 13. Wanted to get your thoughts on the main event of that show which was Bret and Sid in a cage for the WWE title. How would you rate the match? And how do you rate the segment that followed with Bret's tirade as well as the brawl with the 4 guys who featured in the main event bouts as well as Shawn coming out in the end?

They lost it for me when they just pointed out that it was Jeff Hardy. I actually didn't recognize him at first.

Well they're doing the right thing by putting them against someone who is going to get cheered no matter what he does. If anyone can out-cool the Wyatts, it's Jericho.

I'm about to get to that one in the 97 series if I ever get around to doing it and stop writing books.

I remember liking the match and the tirade arguably started the Attitude Era.

Swagger gets arrested for smoking pot or something like that. (Pre-WM 29)

Emma shoplifts then gets released.

Am I missing something?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yes. The day a few months ago when the stock plummeted (in the biggest overreaction I can remember in years), meaning it's time to save money.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

If Hogan was the #1 Babyface in the WWE's history, who is #2?

What are your general thoughts on Kevin Nash?

 

[klunderbunker]

Austin.

Talented guy, shouldn't be allowed near a booking committee ever.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Why does Dibiase never get any recognition as one of the best heels in the WWE's history? That guy was awesome, and I can't stand heels!

 

[klunderbunker]

No idea. To me he's still the best heel ever.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Billy Graham. Where is he on your top heels?

I was at Payback. I wore my pretty nifty Randy Savage shirt. Some guys sitting next to me were saying that Daniel Bryan is a bigger draw than Savage. How wrong were they?

By the way, if you ever watch Payback again, I have a sign that plugs in your review website.

Unfortunately not too high, though I rarely go further than top 5 on a list.

Not as much as you would think actually.

Where were you sitting/what did it say?

 

[Alex]

Does WWE creative damage what the wrestlers do in NXT trying to change what worked in NXT??

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. It makes it pretty much worthless.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Sorry I had to bang my head against the wall when you said Bryan was a bigger draw than Savage.... You serious? Sorry KB, I have the most respect for your analysis and reviews but... Bryan over Savage???!?!

 

[klunderbunker]

Consider that it's a different style and a different era and it's not that far off. Note that I didn't say Bryan was bigger.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Savage faced Hogan at WrestleMania. I mean........ HOGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That alone should end the argument, no?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's pretty much the big reason to go with Savage ahead. It's ahard one to fight.

 

[The_Reptile_]

So reportedly the big plans for Mania at the moment are Reigns vs Lesnar for the title. Yay, Nay, or would like some of what they're smoking?

Bundy did too. How does that end the argument?

(BTW: I see Savage (low Top 20) firmly in front of Bryan (low Top 50) as well.)

It could work but I'm skeptical.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I'm just re-reading a thread about who is better- Angle or Bret..

Who would you pick and why?

Also, where would they rank on a list of the greatest ever (Top 3, Top 10, Top 50 etc)

 

[klunderbunker]

Angle due to his comedy. Top 15 at worst.
