Just curious as to why you dislike the Broken Matt/Brother Nero story. Is it the style of how it's done or the cheeseiness?

 

[klunderbunker]

Neither. It's the frequency/length. It's not out of the ordinary for Matt and Jeff to have five to six segments a week. Add that to the fact that this story has now been going for five months plus. Basically I'm just sick of seeing them and the second Final Deletion wasn't anything interesting.

How many live appearances will Stephanie make during the Clash of Champions main show?

Can't have a RAW Brand show w/out the princess as a focal point.

 

[klunderbunker]

3 at minimum. She has too many feuds going on to have fewer than that.

 

[Alex]

To be fair I've been watching the Broken Hardy bits on YouTube. Haven't actually watched a proper impact episode for a while. I can imagine it being annoying when other stuff is going on

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah it gets tiresome. There's other good stuff on there but it's dragged down by Matt and his wackiness. Matt's character is great but TNA has always had an issue with the idea of enough is enough.

 

[Alex]

I guess they reckon since the Broken Hardy's got popular they should have them front and centre instead of using them to help showcase the rest of the roster properly. But that's been a major TNA problem for years

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep, and it's not getting any better.

In your opinion, what could be Jason Jordan's ceiling? I see a charismatic, good looking guy that's very impressive in the ring. I see a main eventer several years from now.

 

[klunderbunker]

It depends on how he does without Gable around.

 

[justinsayne]

My biggest problem with the Broken Hardy shit is it feels so out of place with the rest of the show, & they drop it in randomly & frequently. Either they need to shoot the whole show the way they shoot the Hardy's stuff, or they they need to dedicate one fifteen to twenty minute chunk of the show to it, get it out of the way in one segment.

Given Maria's constant berating of Allie, wouldn't the money be more in Maria vs. Allie match for the title at BFG instead of Gail Kim getting opportunity number 54,612?

 

[klunderbunker]

Pretty much verbatim what I would say about the Hardys.

Indeed, but Gail Kim is a wrestler and therefore should be praised.

I suppose being inducted into the HOF on the exact same show just isn't enough praise.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well if it was up to TNA there would be more Gail Kim than Hardys. I have no idea why.

What's with The Club and others doing The Kliq sign?

 

[DD84]

When did RAW become the main show? I'm watching back a few of its original episodes and it seems to me that WWF Mania and Superstars were bigger deals.

They're basically a Kliq tribute group.

Mania was a recap show for a lot of its run. Superstars was indeed bigger for a good while. I'd go with around 1994/1995 for Raw becoming the flagship.

 

[L@RISANO]

After reading your column, I find it hilarious that WWE RAW Clash of Champions just happened, and the first 3 matches(especially) that you put in the column piece still apply and would still service the entire main story being told to us viewers. Lol.

 

[klunderbunker]

Key to a good parody: it's close enough to reality that it could happen.

Hope you guys had fun at RAW buddy. Although I think Rusev has been a good feud for Reigns, their match on Monday killed me. I know they were trying to nail home the story of Rusev working on Reigns' back, but way too many rest holds. Plus, I thought the match went too long. Close to 25 mins seemed a bit much; would've been much better if they shaved 7 - 8 mins. A 25 mins PPV match is understandable, especially if they're heading towards a cell match to end the feud. The crowd seemed hot for the start and finish, but it seemed pretty dead during the remainder of the match.

Is it just the way it came off on TV, or was the live crowd hot throughout? Do you see them heading towards a cell match to end the feud? What's next for Reigns & Rusev in your opinion?

 

[klunderbunker]

It was hot throughout sand yeah, they're going to the Cell.

 

[Da Prophet]

Hell in a Cell sucks as a PPV theme because most of the time it doesn't fit with the top feuds. With that said, what are the chances WWE doesn't put Charlotte vs. Sasha inside the cell considering they are probably the one feud on Raw that would justify it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh there's a good chnace of it.

 

[Da Prophet]

Hell in a Cell is in Boston and they clearly planned to have Sasha be the champion going into the event. It would make all the sense in the world for Sasha Banks to win the title back in her hometown in the first ever Hell in a Cell match between women. However they keep bringing up that Charlotte is undefeated on PPV. Do you think they are going to throw it away for a PPV in October or will they let her continue to win and have a big moment at Survivor Series or WrestleMania? Or is it just likely to be another layer to Sasha winning in her hometown and defeating the woman who has never lost on PPV?

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt the hometown means much to them so I'd guess they wait until a big show.
