Are you surprised WWE hasn't gone after Kurt Angle for WrestleMania? Especially when you consider all of the injuries.

Name a great Magnus match in TNA. Also, thoughts on Magnus.

Not really. I can't imagine he could pass a physical.

Some of his British Invasion stuff was good.

There isn't much to say. He's fine in the ring but not a World Champion caliber guy.

Who would say say had the best career after winning KOTR?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bret.

 

[justinsayne]

Bret.

Really? I would think a certain Texas Rattlesnake had a bigger career post KOTR.

 

[klunderbunker]

Indeed. As usual I shouldn't do these when I first wake up.

Where does WrestleMania 31 rank among the greatest PPVs of all time? I have it right behind WM17.

 

[klunderbunker]

That's WAY too high. It's good but there are a lot of shows better.

Listening to the attitude era podcast's no way out 2001 review, they're talking about the big show recently returning after being sent away for weight and attitude issues only to return with not much of a change. Apparently that's the reason he dropped from the top to the hardcore title so fast, and the crowd were crickets for him interrupting the main event. Question is: what dirt does the big show have on Vince? Seriously if all is to be believed he's failed the company every time he's been near the top, couple that with the attitude stuff and you've got a guy who in any other circumstance would be doomed to a dolph Ziggler role at best.

 

[klunderbunker]

He's really not that bad. It's really more along the lines of we've seen him standard song and dance so many times that it's old now.

I was more wondering how a guy who had been known to have attitude issues still managed to get himself featured near the top of the card for over a decade now, while most other people who get sent down to OCW to work their shit out (without working their shit out mind you) wouldn't get anywhere near the number of extra chances at the very top. Were they really that starved for big men who didn't suck that they had no other choice than let this guy rise and fall ~15 times?

 

[klunderbunker]

Other than that, he really hasn't been all that bad as far as I've heard.

 

[Coco]

It's worth noting that Taker appears to have taken a keen interest in Show during that period.

Is there any good reason that Kofi Kingston shouldn't

1. Win MITB

2. Become a top 5 heel

3. Have a short summertime title run

I could go for that, but I don't think I could handle Yaz's celebrating.

What is the most underwhelming title change you've ever seen in each of WWE, WCW and TNA?

 

[Alex]

Has there been a 2nd/3rd gen wrestler who's managed to do better than their parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle etc minus Randy Orton.

I mean Goldust has done well for himself but he hasn't eclipsed his father in terms of influence/accolades

 

[ShinChan]

Chances of Ambrose winning at Fastlane have increased or its just a swerve?

It would look a little like that. You would feel the power all the way in Lexington.

Anyway, Summer Rae's win last night was her first in almost two years on TV. Excluding true jobbers, can you think of anyone who has gone that long between wins?

 

[Alex]

How I forgot The Rock is unbelievable

And how did I forget Bret Hart as well?!!?!?
I guess Reigns counts and so does Paige. I did not know Road Dogg and Jake Roberts were second gen wrestlers

I guess that answers my question. I guess with all the notable duds (Ted Dibiase Jr, Manu, David Flair, etc) I forgot about the ones who do surpass their relatives.

Probably D-Von winning the TV Title. Or Barrett getting the IC Title back the night after Wrestlemania XXIX.

Uh.....see below.

Swerve.

Yeah that.

I would say Rosa Mendes, but as far as I know she has never actually won a singles match.

Yeah all those plus several others.

Is HHH vs. Ambrose a better story than HHH/Reigns at this point? I know its very likely a red herring, but his pursuit of respect/the title has been one of the best things the E' has done in the main event in a good while.

Also, in the unlikely event that we do get swerved and Ambrose emerges as #1 contender, where does Reigns go? Versus Taker? Would that be something you could get behind?
