KB Answers Wrestling Questions

I don't remember this being asked, so here goes:

When WCW was winning the Monday Night Wars, and really had Vince on the ropes, what was the one thing they could have done to really drive the final nail in the coffin? Would it have involved Sting winning cleanly and dissolving the nWo? Or would it have had to come well before the Montreal Screwjob?
 
There are, but any good feelings the NWA had built up were wasted with the 7 Levels of Hate fiasco.

What's that?

When did NWA as a company lose it's credibilty per se. I mean they worked with WCW, got shafted, worked with ECW, got shafted, worked with TNA, got shafted. It seems they work with major promotions for a bit and then stop.
 
We all know that Bray Wyatt is considered as "The New Face of Fear" so why is he shown on social networking sites like any other wwe superstar.....
With Undertaker; it was never so!
so should This be changed?

Because kayfabe is dead and a social media presence is more important than a product you can believe in. It's stupid, but it's something people like Stephanie believe in and therefore it's going forward.

WCW wins the war and no WWE guys at the time ever work in wrestling again. Would professional wrestling on a global scale be dead?

Not global but probably in real trouble in America.

Not one thing, no. At the end of the day, there was no stopping the rise of Steve Austin. He was a runaway train and people wanted to see him. Watch the main event of Over the Edge 1998 when he defends against Dude Love. The fans are losing their minds over anything he does. WCW never had anything like that and when you have the Rock, Foley, DX and everything else waiting, there was nothing WCW could do to stop the inevitable.

In 2011 Colt Cabana and Adam Pearce were feuding over the NWA World Title and it was actually good stuff, easily the best thing the NWA has done in years. Their big draw was a series of seven gimmick matches around the world called the 7 Levels of Hate.

The first six matches saw them trade the title a few times and the big blowoff was a cage match in Australia with Pearce defending in the final match. For whatever reason, the NWA refused to sanction the match as a title match, making the whole thing a huge waste of time. Pearce lost, said that Cabana was the real champion and quit the NWA over the whole thing, vacating the title in the process. There's actually a documentary about the whole mess.

Probably when Turner bought WCW. He had so much money that it was clear no one was going to need the NWA's support again.
 
What is better from an overall standpoint, in terms of fan enjoyment of the product and business-wise: A Sole Face of the Company or a number of Superstars who can be built up with each having a chance to be at the top in pretty much equal measure?

Do you see the latter as the possible direction of the company with say, the 3 SHIELD guys at the top or will it be all Roman Reigns as WWE wants(not jumping the gun because RR clearly has a ways to go to even be considered regardless of what WWE has been positioning him as)?
 
Is it a stretch to think that had things not turned sour between Vince and Warrior in 96 that everything that happened with Sid in 96-97 (trading title wins with Shawn at SS and Rumble, and main eventing Mania against Taker) would have gone to Warrior?
 
The sole face can be but he needs an equally strong opponent.

Yeah it probably is the way things are going as WWE is scared of losing its top guy.

Nah. He would have gotten the title back at some point but it wouldn't have been long term due to age and past issues.
 
Probably because they weren't Vince creations. Bubba came over before ECW went under so he was probably treated better. Booker was a big WCW guy and RVD had drug issues so he might not have been viewed as reliable.
