Should the Vaudevillains change their name since they're not really villains anymore?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's been kind of strange for months. I'm not sure how much of a future they have anyway though.

I'm sure you'll agree that having WWE corporate back Eva Marie on-screen is a smart move. What does it do for her in terms of the transition from loathed non-wrestler to genuine character? Assuming it's a semi-permanent booking decision.

 

[klunderbunker]

At some point she has to be able to be a wrestler. Unfortunately I think they want her as the face of the division and that's just not going to work.

 

[justinsayne]

Personally I think they should've made her Breeze's valet.

 

[klunderbunker]

That would have worked.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Besides 94 when he was chasing the world title and having great matches with Bret all the time what year would you say was the best for Owen and what are some of the highlights from that year?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's a BIG drop after that. 1996 I guess when he was feuding with Shawn earlier in the year and then Tag Team Champions with Yokozuna and Bulldog.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

How far can Kevin Owens go? Will he eventually win the World's Heavyweight Championship?

Is Reigns holding the belt going into Mania or winning it there?

 

[klunderbunker]

I wouldn't hold my breath but it's possible.

Winning it there.

The shoot or worked shoot or whatever it was that Ross did before introducing the fake Razor the night after In Your House Mind Games, how much of what he said was real and where there any consequences or reprocussions?

 

[klunderbunker]

There probably was some real heat to it but he wasn't going to get in trouble for it. That was all storyline.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

What are some of Hogan's best moments in WCW in the red and yellow?

 

[klunderbunker]

The early ones. 1994 wasn't bad and the money Hogan made more than validated his push. Bash at the Beach and Halloween Havoc from that year are good places to start.

Also try his big return in 1999 for a legitimately awesome pop.

If Steve Austin had to retire from injuries sustained from Owen Hart's piledriver at Summerslam and Shawn Michaels hadn't been injured during the match with Undertaker at Badd Blood, what would have been the main event of Wrestlemania come 1998? Surely not another Bret/Shawn match, right?

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Rewatching 96 Raws and seeing a lot of ads for live wire. I remembered live wire as a run of the mill syndicated WWF show but based on the previews they showed during Raw it looks like they had Vince on as the owner and he was talking about real life things like Bret returning at Survivor Series (month and a half before it happened) and talking about Turner and WCW. How long did this go on for and were there any other interesting things that came out on Live Wire?

Probably Bret vs. Shawn yeah. Or the company would have already gone under.

There were a few debuts there and some of the call-ins are legendary (mainly done by Russo as Vic Venom) but then it became just another recap show.

Pop TV was known as TV Guide channel if you were wondering WTF Pop TV was

Imagine you're Cesaro, and Vince gives you one last chance to repackage yourself in a way that's worth of a Main Event push. What would you do?

 

[klunderbunker]

Make him the Swiss JBL.

 

[justinsayne]

Make him the Swiss JBL.

I believe he worked a similar gimmick in ROH in 05/06.

I think if Cesaro is smart he'd head down to the Performance Center while rehabbing his shoulder & work on his promo skills as that seems to be his weakest attribute right now.

Question that just popped into my head while typing all that, do you think moving JBL from commentary to a manager role would work?

 

[klunderbunker]

It would but I don't see it happening. Managers are becoming less and less valuable to them. On a side note, JBL better go into the Hall of Fame in 2016.
