How long does this Wyatt-Orton duo last?

And are you liking it?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm thinking the Rumble.

Much more than I was expecting to actually.

 

[ShinChan]

Any idea on how many years are left in Orton’s career considering his injuries?

And any world title run left for him in future?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably more than you would expect as he's one of the guys with a tour bus. Those things do WONDERS for career length.

Oh I'm sure he will.

He also seems to be one of the guys that's smart enough to make sure to take time off every year too, even when he's not injured.

Were non-WWF territories less obviously fake in the 1980s and before?

I remember as a kid, after hearing the schoolyard argument over whether pro wrestling is real or fake, watching WWF one Saturday afternoon. There was a match or matches with guys I'd never heard of (could be anyone but Hogan, Savage or Steamboat, maybe Jake the Snake), who I could tell (at age 10-12) were pulling their punches and stomping the mat. Then someone whose name I knew had a match, and that looked real. (I decided that A. It was fake and B. The stars were the guys who could fake it realistically.)

Did non-Titan Sports pro wrestling look any more realistic back then?

Really it just comes down to the WWF could get the best. A lot of the smaller places would have to get low cost talent and that meant you were only going to get so much out of them. So yeah they often would be a bit faker looking because their wrestlers weren't capable of putting on better matches.

Assuming Ambrose doesn't win the title, who challenges Styles after TLC?

I'm hoping for Styles vs HBK or Taker, but I'm doubtful of either one.

James Ellsworth obviously.

I'd bet on Undertaker actually.

Slater and Rhyno have no chance of retaining against the winner of American Alpha/New Wyatt Family, right?

On that topic, do American Alpha have any hope of beating Wyatt & Orton to get the shot?

 

[klunderbunker]

In theory right.

I wouldn't bet on it at this point, no.

In hindsight, with how Brock vs Goldberg has been booked, how HHH has not been on TV and most importantly, how things have played out in the title picture. Wouldn't it have made much more sense to have Triple H hand the title to Roman Reigns instead of KO and give Seth Rollins the perfect way towards getting over as a Babyface?



Ntm, KO, even with the title seems like the most unimportant piece within the whole main title feud at this point. Actually, him and Sami Zayn doing the currant 'Shesaro' angle would've been much more suitable for all involved, lMO.

Who wins that match?

What are the chances of Taker vs Cena at WM33?

Yep, but nothing in that story has made sense so far.

Probably AJ but it's not a lock.

Stronger than you would think. That was the rumored match for this year but I get the mindset behind not having Undertaker vs. Cena at Wrestlemania. Why have one big match when you can have two?

 

[L@RISANO]

Given the storyline has made no sense so far, how do you see HHH being reintroduced in the near future?

Also, why did anyone think it was a good idea to hand a title to a secondary/(tertiary?) villain who was always going to get 'You deserve it' chants in order to kick off another guy's road to becoming Top babyface?

 

[klunderbunker]

Whenever they feel like it really. There likely won't be some big moment.

Because HHH.

 

[justinsayne]

Wouldn't the title match at the Rumble make the most sense to reintroduce HHH?

GFW is still a thing? HOW?!?

 

[klunderbunker]

It would be, but that might make too much sense.

You got me man. I didn't know it was a thing in the first place, save for those TV tapings which are going to be completely out of date if they ever make air anywhere.

 

[justinsayne]

Who's the bigger train wreck when it comes to running a wrestling company, Dixie Carter or Jeff Jarrett?

 

[klunderbunker]

Dixie. By far.

 

[justinsayne]

Really? Even though the company she's running is somehow still on tv, & she's still able to find people to financially back her nonsense & Jeff currently can't get either of those things?

Explain burying in simple words?

And explain jobbing in simple words?

Examples regarding jobbing and burying in either 2015 or 2016?

 

[klunderbunker]

The difference for me is where they started. TNA had the WCW audience handed to them and a big roster of talent. Did ANYONE expect GFW to really work?

Burying - Losing your spot on the card and almost all credibility.

Jobbing - Losing.

Burying in 2015/16 - While not exactly, Kalisto got close for a bit. He just plummeted down the card and there was no stopping it.

Jobbing happens every single show.
