Wrestling Questionaire Week 2: Commentators, Stu Hart's Students, and Moonsaults

[Brilliance In Supremacy]

Here it is, week 2. Hopefully more people will respond to this one than the first one...

1) Commentators are inarguably a vital part of pro wrestling. Well...at least if you're watching it on TV. They come in such a huge variety: annoying (Don West), Hilarious (JBL), and intelligent (old school Joey Styles). If you could form an all-star duo of commentators - mixing them from any era and any fed - who would you pick? Why?

2) Stu Hart's The Dungeon has inarguably trained some of the best wrestlers to ever make it big. He's trained a wide variety ranging from the ultra powerful yet ultra slow (Mark Henry), the technical geniuses (you guys should know this one), and the gymnasts (Jack Evans). Other than Benoit and Bret Hart (the most successful to emerge from The Dungeon) who is your favorite dungeon graduate? Why?

3) The moonsault is probably the most beautiful aerial attack in wrestling. There are many who can do it but it's just something that we only a few times a month anymore. Many have performed moonsaults...including Bam Bam Bigelow, Vader, and The Big Show. In your opinion, who has the most beautiful moonsault in all of wrestilng?

Answering my own questions...

1) Though their chemistry would be questionable, I'd have to put Joey Styles with Jim Ross. Joey Styles is a guy who has proven that he can identify any hold in wrestling. His work with the original ECW should be studied by any aspiring commentator (if there are any). Jim Ross is probably the most respected commentator in the business. He builds hype without sounding ridiculous, he works well with pretty much anyone, and it's hard to not like him.

2) So many amazing wrestlers have emerged from the dungeon but, behind Bret and Chris Benoit, I'd have to say that his best products are Owen and Chris Jericho. These two were his most versatile graduates, wrestled well in any style, and always put on entertaining matches. I don't want to put an honorable mention because I'd leave out so may great wrestlers.

4) I do believe that Christopher Daniels' BME is actually the best move ever. The way he does it is absolutely amazing. He just walks up to the ropes, bounces twice, and does it. My favorite moonsault is Kurt Angle's though because he usually only does it a few times a year. Honorable mention goes to Super Crazy.

1. i would go with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan...i know they were partners, and i am not sure if that is what you were asking, but for my money they were the best ever...Heenan and his witty one liners and smart ass attitude, just saying whatever he felt like, and Monsoon playing off of him as the voice of reason worked so well...i think JR is great, but Lawler is corny at best, i get tired of him every week...Monsoon and Heenan were gold

2. other then Benoit and Bret Hart, i am going to say Owen...man, he was just awesome, he was quick, could do the daredevil stuff, was as technically sound as anybody out there, just all around excellent...it makes you wonder if he would ever had won a world title hadnt he passed away...he definatley deserved it

3. the moonsault...hmmm...i like Muta's i think it was the first one i ever saw, Angle's was nice, it was like once he was in the air it slowed down then just hit at the right moment

1. I would go with jbl and the brain cause they have some of they best lines and they would make you not change the channel in bad matches

2. I am not sure of everyone who he trainned but I would have say The Dynamite Kid cause with outhim there would bret hart wouldnt be as good as he was Jushin "Thunder" Liger he has some awsome moves

best moonsult ever was angle did it off the cage when the bigshow did it cause it shoocked me
