Do you think Cesaro has lost momentum since joining with Paul Heyman? Seems like the crowd cared about him a lot more when he was with The Real Americans. Never thought I would see the day where Jack Swagger would get more of a reaction then Cesaro.

 

[klunderbunker]

He definitely has. The thing worked in theory but hasn't been practical at all.

How much of a mark/hole has CM Punk left in WWE if he keeps popping up as a possible candidate for stuff, most recently Plan C??

Also is Reigns being pushed a bit to fast?? I like him as much as the next guy but I don't reckon he'd be main event material for at least another year. I reckon he needs to refine his moveset a bit before it happens

Wrestling wizard KB, Uso's look to be feuding with Stardust and Goldust at Summerslam.

After that however, how would you go about bringing up the Ascension?

 

[The_Misson]

What are the odds that TNA sells out Korakuen Hall?

Here are few random thoughts and lets see what you have to say:

Is it me or does it seem creative in WWE is awful because of the marketplace. Is that one reason why the end of the brand split happened because writing is brutal for them

Looks like Lesnar vs Cena but doesn't Lesnar have to win seeing he already lost to Cena. Is it safe to say the Lesnar UFC character in WWE is over and hes just another monster heel. I feel WWE completely botched Lesnar's return coming from the UFC

I am a huge wrestling fan but I have grown tired of TNA. Its not that hard to write and book wrestling shows as long as you don't think you have to beat WWE. I am saying if BFG is just another PPV will they please sell to ROH and end the pain for everyone especially the talent that might do really really well elsewhere. For a TV-14 product they aren't that edgy. I think some of that has to blamed on Spike TV. I would like TNA to first change its name and them be balls to the wall promotion like ECW was. Every match would have a winner and no more DQ or count outs and that can be done in creative without 100 run ins per match like ECW had

Alot of insiders feel Punk would be a better "Plan C". It make the most sense for a variety of reasons. You wouldn't have a part-timer as a champion and the first few months Punk's reaction with the fans would be huge because of his vacation. Final point would be no only would Network subscribers most likely get to that 2 million mark partly because of Punk nostalgia but Punk vs Bryan at WM in the Main Event would be epic. Punk wouldn't have a problem dropping the title to Bryan and Punk would finally get his WM Main Event he has been clamoring for

Would you say people are overreacting to Jericho beating Wyatt? It's beyond obvious that Wyatt will be getting the rub from this feud, and so they don't repeat the Fandango debacle.

Shortly after Mania 13 Sid was scheduled to take part in a match with Bret at Revenge of the Taker, but was replaced by Austin after "Not showing up" to a match on Raw. After that while he was still away WWE kept on referring to him and advertised the reason why he was gone on their superstar line. I believe he ended up coming back around June or July for a Raw or two before being gone for good.

To the best of your knowledge what was going on both story line wise and in real life with Sid after Mania 13? Do you know what WWE was saying on the superstar line as to his being gone? What was the real reason he was gone? And what was the story behind him coming back for a few shows only to then be gone for good?

Not much.

He's got about eight months before he has to be the guy. It's fine.

Wrestling wizard KB, Uso's look to be feuding with Stardust and Goldust at Summerslam.

Just an old fashioned run in and beatdown.

What are the odds that TNA sells out Korakuen Hall?

Pretty solid as it only holds a few thousand people.

The brand split ended because it wasn't needed anymore.

More or less but he's quite the monster.

ROH doesn't have the money and TNA is in a better place than they are.

Punk isn't coming back for a long time. Let it go.

Would you say people are overreacting to Jericho beating Wyatt? It's beyond obvious that Wyatt will be getting the rub from this feud, and so they don't repeat the Fandango debacle.

Because Bray has been wasted all this time and it was a clean loss. There's nothing for Jericho to gain and he didnt need it.

As far as I know there was no big reason for it. His contract was up and he left. The interesting story for him leaving was in 1992 when he failed a drug test and left to become a professional softball player.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

Here's something I find rather bizarre: Back in the day when there were still plenty of people who thought wrestling was real, clean wins and losses in any individual match wasn't that big a deal. Flash forward to today when no one over the age of 8 believes it's real, and clean wins or losses are suddenly all important.

What's up with that?

 

[klunderbunker]

Wrestling fans have no idea what they want.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I'm in the middle of a Facebook conversation with The Blossom Twins who appeared in TNA after being a part of the British Bootcamp with Rockstar Spud.

What did you think of them as in-ring performers, and rank their looks out of 10

 

[klunderbunker]

Not great. 6.

Tell them their cupcakes at the Davis Arena looked delicious. They'll know what that means.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

kb, you dog you

 

[klunderbunker]

That's not a euphemism. Their gimmick was that they made actual cupcakes and gave them to fans.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Why didn't Luger become a bigger star in the WWE?

Was Lesnar supposed to be the number one guy originally? But then left and Cena got it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bret Hart was around.

More or less but then he talked and it was a disaster.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Bret Hart was around.

More or less but then he talked and it was a disaster.

Meaning that Bret screwed him with backstage politics, or that he just outshined him in the ring?

 

[Blade]

Who will be the Rock to Roman Reigns' Austin? The Punk to his Cena?

 

[The_Reptile_]

Who are two tops stars that, despite whatever effort they put in, just did not have any chemistry together at all?

 

[klunderbunker]

Outshined him.

Who will be the Rock to Roman Reigns' Austin? The Punk to his Cena?

Probably Rollins.

Who are two tops stars that, despite whatever effort they put in, just did not have any chemistry together at all?

Undertaker and Austin. I remember them having one decent match and that's it.

Should Kofi, Big E & Woods have any more members? Titus?

How much more like Malcolm X must Woods go before MVP gets a tattoo of him on his chest?

 

[klunderbunker]

Titus and that's about it.

87% more.

 

[MrHashasheen]

One thought keeps resurfacing in my mind when it comes to Global Force Wrestling.

GFW = Indie version of WWE Network.

Yes? No? What do you reckon?

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't know what you're asking. You want a network where you can watch a bunch of indy matches? Not a chance of it happening.
