[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

How long do you think Cena could have continued as the rapper?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not too much longer.

 

[klunderbunker]

For Orton's character, spitting in HHH's face or RKOing Stacy.

In the ring, his hardcore match with Foley.

The Stacy moment is pretty forgettable.

What are the possibility of James Storm using the freebird rule when it comes to defending the tag titles? (I ask this because I really can't be asked with Abyss)

 

[klunderbunker]

I could see that happening.

Assuming I can see TNA that is.

 

[Alex]

Was Miz really that bad as WWE champion??

 

[klunderbunker]

Not as bad as people say he was no.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

So Adam Rose is coming out with a toothpick in his mouth. What are the odds on him starting his promos with "Hey Yo!"?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not likely but I'd chuckle.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

Not likely but I'd chuckle.

I admit the first thing I thought when he came out with the toothpick, the lon greasy hair, the scruffy chin, and the open jacket was "Oh hell, they're doing the miniature Scott Hall routine"

 

[Vega]

Does Cena belittling and ridiculing his opponents do anything for them?

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

What do you think kept the WWE from going with Luger as the champ at SummerSlam given all the momentum he had entering that event?

One problem that is often heard when it comes to WWE programming is their current lack of star power. I was watching Guest Booker with Gary Hart last night and he mentioned that the best way to make a main event star is to take a guy who has great potential and have them travel with other top guys, this way you could learn from them night to night for months on end on top of learning through experience. Personally I think there is something to that and makes more sense then any other way I've heard of building a main event star.

Although I'm sure this is done to a point, I'm sure its commonplace for a trainer and former main eventer to sit down with stars from time to time and go over their match, promo's and talk about their positives and negatives but at the same time only so much can be learned in wrestling school, much like anything else and there is only so much knowledge that can be transferred when you only have 5 minutes to sit and talk with lets say Reigns.

With all this said do you think it would help things pairing wrestlers up with legit main eventers/legends and have them travel together to hone their skills? Obviously it wouldn't be 7 days a week for months on end but they got plenty of legends on payroll and I'm sure you could find some that would be more than willing to travel with an up and comer for a few weeks and help them out and after a certain amount of time pair the same guy up with another legend for a few weeks to get more of a knowledge transfer.

For example, lets say Reigns has 4 days on and 3 days off. For the 4 days he's on the road have Flair travel with him, stay with him and go over everything he does on screen or in front of an audience. When Flair decided he needs a break for a bit you can give Flair a break and bring in Piper to work with him doing the same deal and so on.

P.S. My apologies for the long winded post.

Not really.

Long term thinking.

This is something that was very common back in the day. Austin tell stories of traveling the roads with Dutch Mantell and picking his brain for hours every night and developing his knowledge of the business as a result. It could help indeed.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Will Cena pin Rusev or make him submit at Survivor Series?

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it.

 

[L@RISANO]

Any chance of HHH wrestling at Survivor Series?

Also, did HHH forget his lines last night in the final segment? Or was the blip he had, all part of the 'emotional act'?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's possible and would make the most sense.

Emotional.

 

[L@RISANO]

It's possible and would make the most sense.

Emotional.

given your answer...does it become a 6 on 5 affair, perhaps?

Also, think they'll try to build the Main Event match during Survivor Series itself with segments(sort of like RAW ) given there are only 4 matches thus far?

Did last night's ending segment increase your enthusiasm for the Main Event in any way? (For me, I expected Ryback, and Rowan isn't exactly going to draw me in regardless of the swerve provided due to him joining Team Cena)

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. They might do a substitution that night.

Probably.

Eh to a degree. I was tired of hearing about it by the end though.

 

[Барбоса]

Could Rowan and Harper be Wyatt plants?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd be surprised at this point.

 

[Барбоса]

Had there been a steady build for Wyatt rather than in fits and starts I might have been more convinced, although it would be a nice way to transition from the Authority to Bray Wyatt as the Big Bad and the fact that Rowan and Harper have not changed character at all rings a little alarm bell in me.

Would be a nice reveal to the "it's coming."

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that was just kind of forgotten.

 

[Барбоса]

On a vaguely related note, how damning an indictment is it of WWE 50/50 booking policy that in a match with the future of the company on the line, we have two teams predominantly comprised of losers?
