What are your dream matches in wrestling at the moment?

I don't really do dream matches but I could go for FTR vs. Usos in a serious match.

Dolin, as I can give Taynara a break with the language barrier.

Why don't you do dream matches?

[klunderbunker]

Why don't you do dream matches?

I tend to stay away from fantasy booking of any kind as A, I suck at it and B, more often than not I'm going to care about a storyline and characters rather than in-ring action. A dream match can work, but I would need a lot of build to it rather than throwing wrestlers in a ring.

Which in-ring wrestlers (not celebrities, executives etc) did not deserve to be a World Champion?

I'm talking any promotion, major or minor.

[klunderbunker]

Which in-ring wrestlers (not celebrities, executives etc) did not deserve to be a World Champion?

I'm talking any promotion, major or minor.

If we're just going with one per major companies (not counting AEW, as they have only had four):

WWE: Jack Swagger. No one bought it and it meant nothing.

WCW: Jeff Jarrett, but it wasn't the biggest leap. At the end of the day though, he was in over his head for most of his time as champion.

ECW: Justin Credible. Outside of Heyman, I don't think anyone saw him at that level.

TNA: Eric Young. MAYBE in his second reign, but the first was 100% a Daniel Bryan cash-in and not even a good one.

Ring Of Honor: Xavier (though it was so early in the company's history that it doesn't matter), who is one of those "who is that again" champions.

Why don't the women have their weight announced on their entrance?

[klunderbunker]

Why don't the women have their weight announced on their entrance?

Probably considered improper/impolite.

Dusty Rhodes best matches?

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Are there any current wrestlers from any company right now that you just don't care about?

[klunderbunker]

Dusty Rhodes best matches?

Probably the Billy Graham series in the WWWF from the 70s.


Are there any current wrestlers from any company right now that you just don't care about?

Going with just people who get regular TV time and going with people who I don't care about rather than dislike:

Miz, Natalya, and actually, Edge and company.

Over in AEW, and I'm ready to walk out before I get thrown out: the Blackpool Combat Club.

[klunderbunker]

AEW - The Bucks. Give us a break from those guys already.

WWE - Charlotte, Natalya, Corbin, Miz

Why is SummerSlam in July this year?

I would assume it's because of the stadium's schedule.

All time - Foley

Currently - No one really springs to mind but since the straightedge part means a lot to me, I'll go with Punk.

Thoughts on Ric Flair having one more match?

[klunderbunker]

Thoughts on Ric Flair having one more match?

In the words of Nick Szlinski from Honey, I Shrunk The Kids: Please don't die.

I have no idea why anyone would want to see this happen, but I'm sure Flair convinced his son-in-law that it was a brilliant idea.

Was there an era where Kurt Angle could've been the #1 guy? Guy is/was so talented though.

In WWE? Not really. He's excellent, but he doesn't have that alpha personality.

What do you think of every MJF storyline that has the same stipulations leading up to the PPV match?

[klunderbunker]

What do you think of every MJF storyline that has the same stipulations leading up to the PPV match?

That MJF can talk his way through anything so while I've seen it before, it still works.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

[klunderbunker]

What do you think of this MJF situation?



Given that the show is over now, hopefully that he has been written off TV for the time being so they can figure things out. I don't want him gone, but you can't haveh him no showing and messing things up.

What matches would you like to see at Forbidden Door?

[klunderbunker]

What matches would you like to see at Forbidden Door?

I'm really not a big New Japan guy so I'm not sure what they have going on.

FTR vs. Guerrillas
Okada vs. Danielson
Sabre vs. Moriarty could be good
Osprey vs. one of the Lucha Bros

What big name signing for AEW do you think has been disappointing?

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Thoughts on Jeff Hardy getting arrested (again)?

[klunderbunker]

What big name signing for AEW do you think has been disappointing?

Jeff Hardy. He's just doing another Hardys reunion and not having anything memorable other than problems.


Thoughts on Jeff Hardy getting arrested (again)?

That it's very sad but if he isn't going to help himself, no rehab or anything else is going to matter.

What happened here?

[klunderbunker]

Looks like Liv did something during the match that ticked Natalya off and that's her revenge, as petty as it was.

What's your favourite things about NXT 2.0 at the moment and what's your least favourite things?

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Who is the best/top prospect right now for NXT to make their main roster debut, if any?

On a serious note, why was WCW Great American bash 2000 so screwed up? I was bored so I randomly watched it, and yeah, it's garbage.

[klunderbunker]

What's your favourite things about NXT 2.0 at the moment and what's your least favourite things?

Best things: they're doing more outside of the arena vignettes and those will work most of the time.

Worst things: watching people who are nowhere near ready for national TV every week.

Bron Breakker, but it'll probably be Joe Gacy.

Vince Russo was flying off the handle and it aired on national pay per view.

What three matches would you tell a brand new wrestling to watch above any others?

Also, before the streak ended, in which match were you closest to believing it was going to end in?

Savage vs. Steamboat, Harts vs. Demolition (Summerslam 1990), Undertaker vs. HHH

In the Cell vs. HHH. The superkick into the Pedigree is the best near fall I've ever seen.

What was the point of the Cena return a few weeks ago? One night ratings grab?

[Storm Trooper]

What was the point of the Cena return a few weeks ago? One night ratings grab?
celebrate 20 years since his WWE debut. He was available. Tease future events (his backstage with Theory). John Cena is a busy man in Hollywood. They're happy to get him whenever they can.

[klunderbunker]

What was the point of the Cena return a few weeks ago? One night ratings grab?

He was around and they could get him to show up. So yeah, kind of.

[Storm Trooper]

Now that he is retired. Does WWE induct Vince McMahon in the Hall of Fame this year or wait until WrestleMania 40?

It might be too nuclear to do it this upcoming year but if there's legal issues with regards to his improprieties they may be unable to have him the following year.

They'll wait until he's dead. I can't imagine him actually being willing to appear.

No matter the capacity, who should never return to WWE?

Also, with Mania 40 in Philly, is it a eay layup that Heyman goes into the Hall of Fame?

Outside of some kind of criminal, I'm not sure anyone should ever be totally banned.

Unless he says no, absolutely.

Forbidden door 2: AEW v WWE/NXT.

No injuries or suspensions, what matches would you book?

[klunderbunker]

Forbidden door 2: AEW v WWE/NXT.

No injuries or suspensions, what matches would you book?

I don't really do fantasy booking, but a few would be:

Bayley vs. Britt Baker (for the promos alone)
Brock Lesnar vs. Kenny Omega (just to see Lesnar no sell a bunch of stuff)
Roman Reigns vs. Jon Moxley (writes itself and they never had a big singles match)
R-Truth vs. Danhausen (like that wouldn't be gold)

Rey Mysterio and Sheamus have never wrestled in singles competition (aside from Royal Rumble Matches) until tonight (here as part of a 4-way).

Is there another 2 Superstars that you'd have thought have touched but haven't?

Not counting the good brothers.

Do you mean right now or all time? Right now, I'd pay to see just about anyone.

All time (ignoring the lame nothing/joke champions): Gene Kiniski never did anything for me. Alberto del Rio who was just boring. Jeff Jarrett more than likely.

Triple H and Rey Mysterio. You would think their paths would have crossed somewhere in there but they've never had a singles match.

What are Chris Jericho's best ever matches outside of Shawn Michael's.

I've wondered for a while if his ring work is slightly over rated. Shawn could have a 5 star match with a broomstick.

Well comparing almost anyone to Shawn is a bit unfair. Jericho was the weakest of his trio with Benoit and Angle, but he was still capable of having 4 stars against almost anyone.

As for great matches, anything he did with Benoit and Angle, especially the ladder match with Benoit at Royal Rumble 2001. Also, his stuff with Rock during the Invasion, which was rather good.

Has any wrestler had a better Rookie year than Lesnar in 2002?

[klunderbunker]

Has any wrestler had a better Rookie year than Lesnar in 2002?

The only one in contention is Angle.

[Yer Maw]

Ronda?

[Stone Cold Tea]

'Taker had a strong first year that ended with him beating Higan however you can't really argue with Brock.

He beat 2 of the top 3 baby faces of all time, clean, beat 'Taker inside the cell, won the Rumble, didn't lose a match clean and finished it by main eventing Wrestlemania.

[klunderbunker]

Ronda?

Up there but the depth of the talent that Angle was facing/beating blows away Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax.

Yeah I'm not sure I can see anything passing him. Angle is the closest, but I don' think he surpasses Brock.

Could you see David Von Erich ever win the NWA Championship, or was that reserved for Kerry?

David was all but guaranteed to get the title. Kerry won it more or less as a tribute to David and wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.

How does NJPW work, do they have weekly tv shows or is it just big events every couple of months or so?

[klunderbunker]

How does NJPW work, do they have weekly tv shows or is it just big events every couple of months or so?

I don't watch it but from what I understand, their TV is mainly just stuff from live events, which are what the promotion is build around. They have big events a few times a year, but it's a lot of house shows with little emphasis on TV.

Do you think a social media influencer gimmick would work? Would a heel or face be best?

[klunderbunker]

Do you think a social media influencer gimmick would work? Would a heel or face be best?

Heel. Those people can be quite annoying. NXT is basically doing it already with Grayson Waller and Stevie Turner.

Is Tony Khan bring too ambitious with Wembley?

[klunderbunker]

Is Tony Khan bring too ambitious with Wembley?

Probably, but they don't need to sell it out to be a success. Now (at least according to Anthony Bowens on Twitter) running All In one week and All Out the next as POSSIBLY (yet to be clarified) back to back pay per views? That's being WAY too ambitious, especially if they're both full priced shows.

[Yer Maw]

What do you think the crowd reaction will be in AEW if/when Punk returns?

[klunderbunker]

What do you think the crowd reaction will be in AEW if/when Punk returns?

They'll go nuts. AEW fans will go insane if the Dark Order comes out for a squash on Elevation. Punk actually coming back would blow the roof off, no matter what happened after All Out.

I didn't watch or read the reviews of the original ROH but did they have a lot of pointless 5 minute squash matches like it does now?

[klunderbunker]

I didn't watch or read the reviews of the original ROH but did they have a lot of pointless 5 minute squash matches like it does now?

Maybe one a show. The shows were only an hour long (with commercials) so you usually had a midcard match, something else, and a featured match, most of which got some time. There were squashes, but they didn't have nearly as much time to fill so there weren't as many.

[Yer Maw]

What's your favourite/best match this year so far?

[klunderbunker]

Probably Gunther vs. McIntyre vs. Sheamus, just for the cringing from those shots.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Hey KB, I looked at your grades for every 4* WWE match since WrestleMania 3 (according to Dave Meltzer)

One thing that stood out: you haven't given an A+ to any WWE main roster match since 2014. (Shield vs Wyatts at the Elimination Chamber).

Is this a coincidence or has big match quality declined over the last decade?

[klunderbunker]

I think it's just more I've refined my style a bit more. There are great matches, but it takes something THAT special for me to go that far.
