Can Kenta have a major rule in what will likely be King Roman's Empire? I can imagine him as a super villian to Reigns and then an eventual ally. I hope he's going to be a major player

 

[klunderbunker]

His size will hurt him but learning English is a big help.

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

In truth, I hate the term "fake" being applied to wrestling as the performers are taking real bumps and sometimes suffering real injuries. I prefer the term "fiction", which I think is more accurate.

Yeah. I presented the case to my uni lecturer (who was surprised to learn I was interested in something so "banal") once that wrestling was a form of theatre, and he agreed with me.

KB can I ask what do you think defines when someone is "ready" for the world title? I feel like it's thrown around far too much that wrestler X or superstar Y isn't ready.

 

[klunderbunker]

There really isn't a set of criteria. It's kind of something you just know.

Is it bad that Crazy Steve seems to be the most interesting person in The Menagerie?

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh I prefer Rebel. Knux has a good powerbomb though he's hardly ever on TV.

From now until the night after WM31 how many call ups from NXT do you think we will see?

 

[Alex]

What are your views on CM Punk lawyering up??

Probably four or five.

What are your views on CM Punk lawyering up??

That it was inevitable.

I'm not a Ring of Honor fan, but I do keep updated with whats going on in the professional wrestling world. Why did Michael Elgin have such a short World Title reign?

 

[klunderbunker]

He mentioned that he wanted to try out for Major League Baseball and he had some visa issues, leaving him stuck in Canada at the moment.

 

[Wolf Pac]

Have any non-wrestling fans ever told you that the blood in wrestling is actually tomato ketchup?

 

[klunderbunker]

I've heard that one yeah.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I've always heard about the great Jericho/Mysterio rivalry from 09(?) but I don't think I've ever actually seen any of the matches. Which was the best one?

 

[klunderbunker]

I remember liking the Bash better but you need to watch Extreme Rules 2009 first to get why the ending works so well.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Word. Thanks.

If Daniel Bryan is healthy in time, would you run David vs. Goliath with Lesnar over Reigns vs. Lesnar? I honestly think it would be a far more interesting story.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

I should add I don't have a ton of faith in Daniel Bryan's ability to talk, but I don't think Reigns is any better.

It probably would be but Bryan has already had his big moment. He doesn't need another one to get back to that level. He's a made man now.

Reigns can talk as well as he needs to. Bryan is good on the mic as well.

Couple of questions KB.

I understand the suspension of disbelief, but if Bryan vs. Lesnar happened, I'm sorry but I can't really believe that Bryan would win. Lesnar suplexed Cena 16 times at SummerSlam. I can't believe in either Kayfable or real life, that Bryan would win in a match. What's your opinion on how a match should be booked if we ever see Bryan vs. Lesnar?

Also, I've heard that Harley Race was a legit "Tough Guy". Is this true?

 

[Барбоса]

Book it like Punk vs Lesnar

Bryan could make it believable but it would take a lot of things going right.

Oh yes. One of the toughest ever. Here's a great line from him, though you have to read it in his gravely, low voice:

"If I give a man my left hand and he doesn't go down, I will walk around him and see what is holding him up."

Book it like Punk vs Lesnar

That could work but Punk is a bit bigger and more of a tough guy than Bryan.

Thoughts on HHH wanting to make NXT like WCW?

Have NXT and TNA become more popular than ECW was?

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Watching the Raw post Montreal where Ross interviewed Vince and wondering what are your thoughts on that interview and McMahon's remarks? Especially with respect to walking that tightrope of kayfabe and real life?

He wants them to have talent but then go insane and go out of business'?

That's a tricky one. Probably not actually.

It was about as good as you could get.
