In hindsight, what would you say to the D-Bry fans who booed because their favourite wasn't placed into a match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania?

Were they pissed that Bryan didn't get into the main event, or was it just the way the Rumble was booked?

Anyway for KB. Can this benefit Reigns in any, way, shape or form? And on the subject of Reigns, who do you see him starting up with after this monstrosity of a feud with Big Show is over?

 

[klunderbunker]

Sure. Reigns is going to be fine because the problem for him was too much too soon. Give him a year of seasoning as a main event guy and he'll be fine. Wyatt maybe.

What's the ratio of good 2nd/3rd generation wrestlers to non successful.

It seems for every Rock, Randy Orton and Goldust there's several Ted Dibiase Jr's or Manu's (yes I had to look up Legacy members)

 

[klunderbunker]

They're usually better than not. It's certainly not universal though.

Catching up with last week's Impact. Did they actually give an on screen reason for Samoa Joe leaving???

 

[klunderbunker]

Nope. Just said that he was gone.

Royal Rumble 1997 takes place in San Antonio, Texas. Does Shawn Michaels win the title because the event is in San Antonio or was the Royal Rumble in San Antonio because they needed to put the title on Shawn?

 

[klunderbunker]

The former.

I am just going to assume the true origins go back to Japan and/or Mexico. When did the triple threat, four way and beyond multiple participant (non battle royal) matches come to prominence in North America? I remember ECW being known as a hot spot for the triple threat but surly others in the territories made use of these matches before then.

 

[klunderbunker]

Off the top of my head I've never seen one before ECW but I can't imagine there hasn't been one before.

hmm... let's see, when D-Bry got eliminated the shitstorm got started... when the WWE throwed them a bone in terms of a Main Event shot, they temporarily got into the Reigns vs Bryan feud, but when they realised he wasn't getting into a 'dream' match with Brock, they restarted the shit storm.

"GEE! Who would have guessed that someone who was out with a bad neck for the better part of a year and changed everything they had in the main event isn't being put back in the World Title picture after like a day back. Maybe WWE was worried that THIS IS WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???"

Are the fans actually going to be smart enough to see this though? They're not exactly smart people even though they're meant to be 'smarks'

 

[klunderbunker]

Nope. They see their star not in the main event and blame the bosses. You might even say they blame, ahem, the Authority that won't let him into the title hunt?

See where I'm going ith this?

How good are the RAW's during the first year of the Attitude Era that apparently are being uploaded to the Network? Rating out of 10?

KB, the year is 1998 btw.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

Do you think Sable would have been as popular in the 90s if it wasn't for Marc Mero?

 

[klunderbunker]

KB, the year is 1998 btw.

Gratuitous plug: I better check my book of Complete 1998 Monday Night Raw Reviews to find out.

They're ok but watching them for the wrestling isn't your best bet. It's all about the drama and seeing Vince and Austin one up each other. Also, you need to get to April before things get REALLY good.

Do you think Sable would have been as popular in the 90s if it wasn't for Marc Mero?

Oh yeah.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

Ken Shamrock was getting some BIG pops in early 98, why was that?

Also, do you think they will put more attitude era Raws up?

 

[klunderbunker]

He was good in his role and the snapping into his zone gimmick was entertaining.

Eventually yeah.

 

[L@RISANO]

Will Seth Rollins ever get his true comeuppance from breaking up the SHIELD, or has that ship all but sailed now, and a face turn is more likely?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's sailed for now yeah.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

Nope. They see their star not in the main event and blame the bosses. You might even say they blame, ahem, the Authority that won't let him into the title hunt?

See where I'm going ith this?

I refuse to call them "smart marks" because, quite frankly, they're some of the dumbest MFers I've ever come across. They aren't worthy of the title of "smart" in ANYTHING.

Examples of a few of the best Raws from 2011-2015?

Examples of a few of the worst Raws from 2011-2015?

Gonna look at your reviews of them I think.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh gosh. You mean full shows? I really couldn't think of those off the top of my head. Raw 1000 was great. Pretty much anything from late 2013 was awful.

 

[L@RISANO]

Bray Wyatt to win MitB and shadow the Champion for a while whilst still having his own feuds.

Your thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not a fan of Bray walking around with a big briefcase. It doesn't fit.
