Can you name some matches that are MUCH better without knowing the outcome? I've seen people put Bret - Owen in the cage into that category, but surely there are more.

 

[L@RISANO]

Any idea why there seems to be an attitude today where a guy can't be left as an Entertaining,Useful Midcarder for Life type?

For eg; I don't see the likes of Ziggler, the Miz, Stardust, etc. getting into the Main Event scene, but yet, I find them to fit the bill as Nailed on top midcard talents for years to come.

However, many seem to see that as being buried/jobbing, etc.... any idea Why that is?

It is the same thing at the top with Reigns being anointed as WWE's Choice, thus fans who like Ambrose see that as some threat.
Why can't people just hope that both guys get through since programming will definitely be all the better if that occurs?

Shawn vs. Taker - WM 25
Taker vs. HHH - WM 17
Luger/Windham vs. Horsemen - Clash I

It's the same thing behind most of WWE: everything is hand picked down to the tiniest detail. If you're not in those plants, you better do something REALLY special or you're not getting anywhere.

Could it be argued that TNA manage their tv time marginally better than WWE.

I mean WWE has about seven hours of tv time a week, TNA has two and I'm somehow interested in the TNA roster overall than the WWE roster besides a few names

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

If we were being roped by WWE in regards to the severity of the injuries for both Reigns and Bryan how would you feel about the heels winning the HIAC matches due to Authority interference to set up a 4 on 4 Survivor Series match pitting The Authority (Rollins, Orton, Kane and HHH) against the team of Cena/Ambrose/Bryan/Reigns with a stipulation like back in 04 that sees the faces get control of the RAW if they win the match?

I am sure it has been asked before but best or favourite near fall?

I wouldn't say it's better managed. WWE just gets watered down.

Not a bad idea actually.

Shawn's second superkick on Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25. They got me on the kickout.

I loved Taker's kickout of HHH's sledgehammer counter to the Last Ride at WMX7.

Have that happen 5-6 years later at the height of the Streak...

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh yeah that one's great too.

Does The Miz have X-Pac heat??

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Why didn't Hogan defend the title at Starrcade 1996?

He did but it's better now.

No idea. It never made sense.

 

[Vega]

What annoys you more? Severe over- or underselling?

 

[klunderbunker]

Under by far.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Not from a business standpoint but rather a story line one, which time frame would you say saw the company revolve around one superstar more?

WrestleMania XII - XIII Shawn Michaels
or
WrestleMania XIV - XV Stone Cold

As a follow up, would you say that the Shawn Michaels time frame from above is the biggest example of the worst time when there was an extended amount of time where the company revolved around one wrestler or are there worse times?

 

[klunderbunker]

Michaels. 98-99 was Austin and McMahon.

Hogan from the Wrestling Classic to the Orndorff feud was pretty bad.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

What's next for Bray Wyatt in your mind?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm thinking the Ascension.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

Is there a particular gimmick you believe has been overdone? If so, which one?

 

[klunderbunker]

The annoying jerk. Look at Miz and Ziggler about two years ago. What exactly was different about them?

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

The more I think about it, I'm thinking Rollins loses his Money in the Bank cash-in. Thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm thinking that's a good bet. It's just not there.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

When it is said about Bret Hart that he was the best storyteller in the ring or even the best ever at it, what does that mean to you?

 

[klunderbunker]

That people need to watch more of his matches and learn things.

 

[KettleFace]

Thoughts on Ken Shamrock's run in WWE?

Likelihood of Taker-Sting at Mania?

Are you going to Mania 31?

Why do you think there hasn't REALLY been two consistently great Manias lately, and do you even agree with that?

For example - WM24: Really good, WM25: Disappointing, WM26: Really good, WM27: Disappointing, WM28: Really good, WM29: Disappointing, WM30: Really good.
