Do you think Shelton Benjamin is 'Main Event Material'?

With a manager that isn't comic (his Momma) - yes.

Are you excited about the resurrection of ECW? Why or why not?

 

[PARANoIR]

Yes. Excited. Its ECW. Of course it makes me happy, as long as its not some crappy version of it.

Which titles would you have in ECW?

P.S. Shelton is apparently getting the Coach as his manager.

That's awesome. Say what you will about the Coach's announcing skills, he's great on the mike and has a great cocky persona that he could perhaps coax out of Shelton.

 

[Parra_Eels]

coach would be good as a manager and i'm suprised no-one had thought of it before.

 

[PARANoIR]

Exactly. He can't announce for shiit and its good they got rid of him.

But he is excellent on the mic and his persona suits what theyre trying to do with Shelton to a tee.

The flow of questions has kinda stopped, so I'll ask 2

1: Why do you think the WWE tends to avoid WCW reunions or reformations?
2: Why do you think WWE tends to avoid putting out WCW memorabilia?

I was obviously a big WCW fan, and they were more popular than ECW, but the WWE have flooded the market with ECW stuff and nothing of WCW's. Do you think Vince's ego couldn't cope with recollections of WCW? I wish he'd sell off the WCW library to someone with a bit of integrity to do the joint justice and rekindle the memories of some of the great WCW moments.

 

[Misanthrope]

I can answer both questions with the same answer:

Vince McMahon refuses to acknowledge that anyone aside from him could possibly have done anything worth remembering in the pro wrestling business. His burying of WCW in the Invasion is proof of this, as is the burial of workers such as Ric Flair during the war, and the fact that nobody 'big' from WCW has been treated fairly. Booker T was snobbed, Rey, Jericho, Benoit, and Eddie were all largely WWE 'creations' in the main event scene. Goldberg was shafted. Steiner was shafted. Flair hasn't won the big one. DDP was shafted...

ECW's allowed to succeed because:
a). It was never a threat
b). Vince claims he funded it for years

My question:
- How will the WWE screw up the ECW resurrection?

 

[Parra_Eels]

coz its being taped before smackdown and ecw with the big arenas and the flash sets and the not-over crowd(especially down south) = not ecw

 

[PARANoIR]

It wouldve been that though, if it couldve been.

I think theyll f**k it up because it won't be as "hardcore" as alot of the fans will want it to see.

 

[thuganomics]

Remember to ask a question.

New question:

Who will be the next wrestler to switch brands?

 

[lockyno1]

I'll take a punt and say Chris Benoit, or if you include Jeff Hardy from TNA-WWE then it would be him.

Who should RVD challenge at ONS for the title?

 

[Misanthrope]

I still contend it should be Cena. The hardcore fans will tear strips off of him.

With rumours abounding that the WWE have no plans for a draft one must assume each show will need to find its own next new superstar. Who will each show choose, in your opinion?

 

[lockyno1]

SD-Jeff Hardy
RAW- no idea it will be a guess but pehaps Ryhno.

Question: Who should be the next World Tag Team Champs?

 

[PARANoIR]

Johnny Jeter and Ken Doane after they split from the f**king spirit squad!!!

If you could pick one independent wrestler (not involved with TNA) and add him to a wwe brand, who would it be and which brand?...oh and dont say CM Punk.

He's already with the WWE anyway, :lol:

I'd say Bryan Danielson or Jimmy Jacobs. Danielson is a freakin awesome technical wrestler in the same vein as Benoit and Jacobs just has a kick ass character.

Which WWE wrestler would you most like to see in TNA and why?

 

[Big Pete]

Triple H.

It'd create such a stir that it'd bring back a competive wrestling enviroment.

 

[thuganomics]

Bah! New Question afterwards.

New Question: Will we see a new RAW GM soon or will we still see Vince running the show on Raw?

 

[lockyno1]

Yes we will and it will be Dusty Rhodes.

Are you in favour of mangers being part of WWE/WHC reigns?

 

[thuganomics]

Yes. Most of the time makes it most exciting.

How do you see the Womens division on RAW right now?

 

[lockyno1]

Amazing considering the hole it was in 12mths ago. We now have mickie, mickie's "friend", Michelle McCool who is doing some house shows at the moment on RAW, overall a great division.

What has been your best "moment" of 2005?
