I'm really not sure who the biggest name is after AJ. Almost everyone has wrestled for them at one point or another.

 

[justinsayne]

I would guess it would have to be one of the New Japan guys, like an Okada or Tanahashi, no?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably Muta actually. He's a bigger name worldwide.

 

[justinsayne]

Of the guys in on the TNA roster right now, who would you most like to see face Angle in his last match?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bennett, with a near squash.

 

[Alex]

With the amount of talent WWE's bring in (Aries, Styles etc) am I right in being worried they've got to much talent as it were and they won't be able to utilise all of them

 

[klunderbunker]

It's definitely a possibility, but NXT expanding should help them a lot.

 

[Alex]

Do you see NXT replacing Smackdown?
I mean I haven't watched Smackdown since the start of the Straight Edge Society but it seems to have gone to complete shit since then so replacing it with a second NXT show would be more of an upside right

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. If it replaces it, NXT goes down the same path. You could put anything in Smackdown's spot and it wouldn't matter if WWE doesn't care about it.

 

[Da Prophet]

Did the unification of the two titles kill Smackdown or was it dead before that?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's not dead but yeah that didn't help it.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

Haven't watched WWE since TLC, are you able to give a recap of what's happened?

 

[L@RISANO]

I know we are really close to it but I was wondering:
Given that Reigns winning this Rumble and successfully defending the title is apparently the worst booking choice, is there any way in which WWE can book Reigns to win it anyway and have him put on a performance that would be appreciated big-time?

I know you're asking KB, but I'll add to this.

NXT adds value to the Network. You should rarely (if ever) see those guys and gals on the USA Network before they're called up.

Reigns won the title, Vince doesn't like it.

This is true. It's part of what makes NXT so popular: it's like its own world. If they go up to the main shows, the regular NXT show feels a lot less fun.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I'm not sure what you mean.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but he was basically asking "Is there a way WWE can book Reigns to win the Rumble and not get booed out the building?"

 

[Coco]

No. And they're not going to undo all the good work they've done turning the crowd.

Roman loses tonight. No doubt it my mind.

I can't imagine one. It would be impressive but the crowds are different at this show.

Same.

 

[Coco]

Literally the second Roman and the title were added to the match, everyone and their mother should have been saying, "There's no way their balls are that big."

Of course they can get plenty of drama out of the people who believe that their balls are, in fact, that big.

Does Roman make it to the end or get dumped part way through? Which would you prefer?

 

[Alex]

Did Hogan and Bischoff bring anything worthwhile to TNA besides talent

I was randomly thinking about it today because I can't think of anything. They replaced the six sided ring with a four sided one and it's gone back. Option C was a cool idea but that's fizzled out. The only thing I can think of was the Jeff Hardy heel turn but that was botched by him playing second fiddle to Immortal and his substance issues

The end though I'd prefer halfway through.

Some early hype and that's about it.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Are you more nervous and excited for the Rumble?

Was last year' the worst Rumble (match) ever?

What's the best one?

 

[klunderbunker]

Excited.

No. 1999 was far worse.

Off the very top of my head, 2000.

 

[justinsayne]

Wasn't the '99 Rumble really long & boring?If I remember right that was teh one that had people enterting every 2 mins. instead of every 30 seconds, or min. or whatever it is now, & there was several times throughout the match that they just had one guy standing around in the ring waiting for the next guy to enter

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. Several times actually, including all the times where we cut away to whatever shenanigans were going on with Austin/McMahon or the Ministry. It also doesn't help that more than once everyone before a certain point is eliminated. As in by the time #16 gets to the ring, all of the first fourteen entrants are gone, making that whole part of the match a waste of time. Also aside from the first two, there's no star power for nearly half the match, save for Kane who eliminated himself in about a minute.

Total disaster with Russo's fingerprints all over the thing.
