Who was the first wrestler to get the "He's gonna kill you" chants?
Have the cruserweights replaced the Divas as the filler/piss break part of the shows?
Will WWE ever go back to 3 (or even 4) hours for the major PPVs?
What happened to the Aussie tag team that was in NXT?
Would you consider Braun the most successful Wyatt as of now?

Should WWE sign a couple teams off the indies to restock the shelves of the NXT tag division a bit? If so, who would you like to see them bring in?

Jericho for longevity but Bret's peaks were much, much better.
Probably Joe.
Yep.
Considering it was announced today that Summerslam is four hours, I doubt it.
One of them tore his ACL.
Nah. Bray won the title and is still a bigger deal.
Way too early to tell.
Nah. Just switch up some gimmicks and put people together.

If you ignore Roma and McMichael, yeah.

So according to the Road Dogg, wins and losses don't matter. Now pyro doesn't matter either.
It's clear stuff like this is worsening the product, but it's just excuse after excuse with him.
CM Punk's pipebomb is becoming more accurate by the day. Your thoughts?

THe wins/losses thing is nonsense and anyone who has watched wrestling for more than eight hours knows it.
The pyro stuff really doesn't mean much though and it's fine to not have it.
Becoming?

I sort of remembered Tazz getting the same chants.
Completely slipped my mind that Bray won the title.
Why does WWE give away big first-time matches before SummerSlam (Shield last year, Lesnar-Joe this year)?

Summerslam draws on its own, the other shows don't.

Will RAW ever go back to 2 hours?

If they do, they'll be in major trouble.
How so?

That would be 50% of the revenue they get from advertisements gone. That's a lot to make up and I doubt the ratings would go up enough to even it out.
Sounds like a promotion's death sentence. And I don't think anyone wants the WWE to die out.

True but most fans don't think of it that way.
Edit: Maybe it's the lack of sleep but for some reason I thought it was 50%. It would be 1/3 of it gone of course.

Fans are weird like that. They think from the writer's perspective but they usually don't tend to think about the business perspective. At the end of the day, WWE is still a business; so they're going to make decisions that may not seem popular, but end up making money for them; and that's what businesses are supposed to do. Make money.
Is there a worse half n hour or so of wrestling to watch out there than WCW's 2000 GAB starting from the best of 9 but put your opponent through 3 tables match with Wall and Douglas, then moving onto the steel cage match with The Steiners and Tank bloody Abott? Seriously that is probably the worst half n hour of television ever, let alone wrestling.

Aside from Katie Vick or something like that, it's pretty hard to top.

1. World Title instead of European Title.
2. WCW didn't have much going for it then.
3. People were completely sick of Hogan and the NWO whereas HHH getting a midcard title was mostly harmless.
4. The whole story of the night was nowhere near as bad.
5. The Foley aspect.
Mainly: it didn't mean nearly as much.

Especially considering what happened afterwards with Russo in the Flair match. If it wasn't for Kidman vs Hogan (and really that's only Kidman being in the match, the fact he was basically squashed was just typical) then without Katie Vick and other sick storylines like that, it just doesn't get much worse. I would put it as the worst PPV WCW had, but it's got more competition that it should have.
The finger poke of doom is a stupid thing wcw couldn't afford to do since wwf had overtaken them in the Monday night lead. After that they never recovered. Besides we were supposed to get the big rematch between Goldberg and Nash and instead we got that because of a stupid ass storyline of Goldberg getting arrested! As for the European title, HBK didn't need it. HHH did.
I know this is a thread where KB is supposed to answer the questions, but I really wanted to add my two cents. Sorry KB, I won't make a habit of this
