I know they will probably have two MitB cases, but wouldn't it make so much more sense and create more intrigue if there was only 1 MitB case and an option to cash-in on either Brand's Top Champion?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep, but that's less marketable.

 

[justinsayne]

Is MitB going to be a PPV for both brands though? I thought only the big four were.

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't think they've announced anything beyond TLC yet.

Have you heard Corny's recent comments on Dixie? I'm not a fan of him at all but they're pretty hilarious.

 

[klunderbunker]

Indeed. Those things never get old.

Did business start going down for the WWE before Hogan left the company for good in 93, or was it in place while he was still around?

If the latter around when was there a noticeable dip in business for the WWE?

 

[klunderbunker]

It was in trouble but not horrible.

Early 1993. Wrestlemania IX was pretty horrible.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Heads up to all, probably gonna be an extended mailbag section of the show this week since incredibly its not a PPV review or go home episode

Do you think Edge would have had the same amount of World titles as John Cena if he never had to retire?

 

[L@RISANO]

Is it safe to assume that all this Paige business is the reason Nia Jax doesn't appear on RAW any longer?
I always assumed Paige vs Nia Jax was the direction things were headed after Alicia Fox got squashed.

I think I'll save that one for this week's podcast.

Possibly, though I'd bet more heavily on WWE just forgetting about Nia and moving on.

This then coincides with Hogan's departure as all he did in 93 was a couple of Raw's leading into Mania and then King of the Ring.

Is Hogan leaving then the major reason for the dip, or where there other factors?

 

[klunderbunker]

There were other factors. Hogan was a really tired act by that point and it was showing badly.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Not counting his title run as a heel, of Bret's 3 world title runs as a face in WWE which was the most successful from a company standpoint and which one would you say featured the best title matches?

 

[klunderbunker]

The first and the second respectively.

 

[Shocky]

Non scientific, but Kevin Owens competed in at least 50 televised matches this year, pre bland split. God.

Did the WWE attempt to bring Hogan back from the time he left the company in the summer of 93 till he debuted in WCW in 94? If not did the steroid case have something to do with them not wanting to bring him back?

And for his effort, he's still stuck in a glorified midcard feud while we wait on HHH to show up for the real main event feud with Rollins.

Not that I'm aware of. He was pretty much gone.

Steroids might have but I think Hogan just wanted to be an actor.

Thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

Well it had been a few days since they were in trouble so this was expected.

I was reading your latest NXT review, and you mention again that Jose is too good for his gimmick. I love Jose, mostly because of his gimmick, but the talent and size are there. Do you feel the gimmick is just too goofy to ever be taken seriously or that Jose is capable of getting over without the fun loving gimmick and it should be used on someone without his skills?

 

[ShinChan]

I guess that a badass gimmick could be good for No Way Jose.

This gimmick isn't for him.

That's likely making the podcast.

One word description for Goldberg's return promo?

What next for Owens after Jericho and Rollins?
