Any idea where I could find a post-WM WWE 2004 Roster?

No easy way i know of. The quick way is to go to prowrestlinghistory.com and just look at the ppv results for 04, and takes those wrestlers. Or look on the PWI top 500 for 04 at onlineoworldofwrestling.com

Thoughts on this New Blood vs ME Mafia storyline.

Well, I only saw the Vegas Impact, I've got to DL this past thursdays impact.

Myself, im still kinda on the fence about this. I liked the Christian/AJ/Tomko/Angle alliance a little better. The problem i have with the MEM is that no one in the group really has the same styles. You got Angle, Booker, Nash, and Sting. Just about all are complete opposite. Nash shouldn't be wrestling, and sting being a heel is just wrong. But on the flip Angle and Booker in a faction is pretty awesome, from a entertainment perspective.

The Legends championship could be a very interesting angle if done right. I actually think that would be a great idea for the wwe, but maybe TNA can pull it off. I don't really consider Booker T a legend, but i guess you wouldn't really want someone too old.

So is the Main Event Mafia going to last more the 3 months???? Or will they actually build up a storyline and properly execute it. I think thats going to determine how well, the storyline does. Is it going to last 3-6 months, or go for 1-2 years. Thats been a small beef of mine i've had with TNA


As far as the new generation goes, i think its should be good for them. I almost think there should be two major fueds going on at the moment MEM vs New Generation, then perhaps a championship fued. (You still have guys like Cage/Abyss/Kaz) I think that would add more depth to the shows. And really push the MCMG. It seems like they always get put on the backburner.

I do think Robert Roode should join the main event mafia. I think he would be a perfect fit. They could do a storyline where MEM wants roode, and not storm. Then Roode leaves Storm, thus setting up a fued. I really think thats what the MEM is missing. A good young heel, rather than guys like Nash.


So im indifferent on it. Im going to wait and see. I think Foley as co owner is a very interesting angle.


How was the Pistons game that you went to see?

It was a lot of fun. I went with 3 of my best friends. The pistons were the "same ole pistons" They can be kind of a boring team at times compared to high flying offensive teams. They should have killed the pacers but they let them stick around, so that made it a little more interesting.

Who do you think is the worst wrestler on the RoH roster?

Im not a fan Mitch Franklin aka grizzly redwood. Not thats he's a bad wrestler, its just cause he is 5 foot tall. Most the students are still a little green, but they keep their matches short. Other than the students, i pretty much like the whole roster. Im not a huge fan of adding Jerry Lynn. I guess i've just never been a fan, but he has put on some pretty good matches so far.

In WWE, who do you see as the next Major title winner out of all the wrestlers who are yet to win one?

Who have yet to win a major title?.... Hmm good question. Well ill give my top 5

1) Jeff Hardy ( Closest at the moment)
2) Vladimir Kozlov ( The WWE could do something really stupid here)
3) Mr Kennedy (Just needs to stay healthy and out of trouble)
4) Ted Dibiase JR ( I think he will be champ one day, im just not sure how soon.)
5) MVP ( Having a bad run now, but i have a feeling he will hit a crossroads and move up to main event level.)


What do you prefer: Survivor Series with lots of elimination tags, or just a regular PPV with one or two?

I like the regular format PPV with one or two of the elimination matches. Realistically the elimination matches are pointless. Its not like NWO vs DX, its a bunch of singles wrestlers matched up. I think you have to have a title match. Thats my biggest concern with all elimination matches. The title match is generally the best match, and the biggest draw.

Do you think that this will help ROH. Or should they have stayed with Gabe and kept that old ECW mentality (No real heels or faces, just that one mega heel at the top, ie. Raven, Shane Douglas)?

Well, they had pretty clear heel/faces with gabe with gabe. For example, AOTF is heels, but some people like them. I think the difference Pearce will try and add, its going to make us NOT like those heels. I think its OK to like the heels (as long as they still act heelish) It also gives you more matchups. You can have face vs face, heel vs heel. I think Pearce may have a problem with this as ROH booker. Sure its nice to keep the lines distinct, BUT when you only have 18 wrestlers, its going to be tough to keep things fresh.

Will it help ROH????? I dont think so. I guess it depends how you measure sucess. If ROH makes it to television, the booking is going to have to change anyways. I dont see the storylines being better bottomline. I think product could be upgraded with Pearce. He's already doing a better job with more information on the website. More videos are on Youtube as well. So I think theres Pro's and Con's to Pearce. So it will come down to more of an opinion.

For the most part, it was a change to give the product a jumpstart. I could see Gabe coming back in a year or two.

ECW pushed the boundaries of showing alcoholism with the Sandman. If the gimmick were started today, would he be viewed as a face or heel? Or at least would he be told to be one?

I think it would depend on the crowd, which organization. The wwe wouldnt allow the original sandman character. If they did, i tihnk he would be a face. In TNA im not sure how the fans would react. I think he could be better off as a heel, but as a face he could get over as well. In ROH i could see the fans not getting behind sandman because of his botches and sloppy wrestling. I dont think the alcohalic gimmick would get over too well with ROH.

Questions about Batista..
1- Do you think that he will ever turn heel? Everytime I think that he will become a heel; WWE screw us with it and he is STILL a face! lol.


Yeah, I think with HBK, and John Cena going out and Orton and Jericho being very good heels its certainly going to take a little time before a Batista turn. I believe the orginal idea was to have Batista turn heel on raw. Although i think the wwe will continue with Batista against heels on raw just to kill some time. Im not sure if you know, but Batista, is one of my more hated wrestlers, and i was afraid they might try to book Batista vs Cena with Batista being the heel. Well, i think half the fans would cheer for Batista in that case. I really don't think Batista is goin to give you any great promos as a heel. Probably just a cocky swag. So I'll say give him 10-12 months, and he will turn heel to shake things up

2- Do you think that he will win the WHC title anytime soon?

He better not, and no i don't think he will win the championship. I hope they are not trying to book Cena vs. Batista at wrestlemania. I am 100% sure Batista will not be a title match come wrestlemania (WWE/WHC) unless he's facing john cena. (or a multiman match) Batista vs Jericho/Orton/Punk just isn't a draw. Plus is will be stale by the time it comes around.

3- Do you think that he will have a stable or will stay solo?

I didnt see raw yet, but i could see him in a alliance or sorts, but not really a faction. Alliance meanign like punk, hbk, and batista team up as good guys, but not a official faction. I think a evolution part 2 would be a good idea to kick around, but they kinda gave that up with the second generation stable. Batista is the type of wrestler that really doesnt fit in with factions very well, unless he's in that heel enforcer role, like he was in evolution. Now, his status is too big for a faction, and i don't think he's good enough to be a leader of a faction, so really he would be in a secondary role if he were to be.

ok, I asked you those questioned last September and you answered them.
But things have changed dramatically in less than two months.
1- Batista did win the WHC.
2- It seems that there is no faction for him after all (due to the fact that WWE didnt do much with the 2nd generation stable) I think WWE are too worried about performing a new stable/ faction.
So my question here, do you think that is there any chance of seeing a stable (a strong stable) like Evolution, in WWE any time soon?

What are your thoughts on Batista coming WHC?

When and who will he lose it too ?

Did WWE only give him the belt to set up Batista vs Cena II?

Who do you think the champions will be come Wrestlemania time?

Do you think it's time to put Orton in a face or tweener role?

Where to now for Chris Jericho?

Well, there sorta is one with Simply Priceless. Well there is three of them, but the wwe generally doesn't like more than 4-5 guys in a faction. So i think eventually we could see them grow a little bit. There is a rumor of Team Orton vs Team Adamle, (Orton's team would be priceless) I think thats the closest thing to a faction, besides the Edge familia thing which was just plain bad.

Other than that, i can't see any other factions at the moment.

What are your thoughts on Batista coming WHC?

Well, it was just one of those moves to set up Wrestlemania. I think he's probably the biggest draw on raw at the moment, however he's not your hot hand. Of the healthy wrestlers, Batista was one of the best, but i think Jericho reign could have gone on a few more months.

When and who will he lose it too ?

I'll say Cena at WM

Did WWE only give him the belt to set up Batista vs Cena II?

Yep, i think so. Unless they wanted a face with the belt, for Orton to beat. Which would explain why Jericho lost it so quickly and on Cyber Sunday. Thats probably your only two scenarios there. Batista drops it to Orton before mania, or he drops it to Cena at mania.

Who do you think the champions will be come Wrestlemania time?

Hmm

Raw
Batista, IC (santino, Rey, Or Bourne) Tag (Priceless)

SD
HHH, US, (Helms) Tag ( DH Smith, TJ Wilson)

ECW
Matt Hardy or Evan Bourne

Do you think it's time to put Orton in a face or tweener role?

I'd say he's been on the tweener role lately, but i'd say no to a face. Maybe a year or so down the line.

Where to now for Chris Jericho?

Similar to where CM Punk has been at. Still a top guy, but fueding in less important matches. He's jobbing to Batista on Raw. Not too many top notch guys for Jericho to fued with, so we may see Jericho fueding with guys like Rey, Punk, Koffi, and evening working with Priceless.

Dean Malenko. He was given arguably the biggest push in WCW out of all the Radicalz, and yet never really made the main event. Should he have won it there, or in WWF/E?

Nope. He had no character. In no time in WWE or WCW was he near the championship. He was never really that over with the fans. He was a great wrestler and one of the best cruiser weights champs, but HW champ he was aways away from. Also there is a big different between being in the main event and winning the world championship. Chris Masters was even in a PPV main event.

Theres not too many guys in my opinion deserved the world championship belt, and didnt get it. The only guy imo at the moment in wrestling today would probably be Jeff Hardy. As far as in the past, I think theres been a few guys to win big championships but not the wwe title. I think someone like Dibiase should have won the belt sometime during the hulkmania era. Guys like Perfect, Owen, and Bulldog you could argue for, but there were reasons why they didnt win the belt. Perfect had injuries problems in his prime. Bulldog fled to wcw after his big push. Owen was lacking something, it could have been booking, but there wasn't much for him besides his fued with Bret. Another name on most list is Razor Ramon. He was right there at the top, but i think his backstage antics may have held him back. Roddy Piper didn't wrestle a full time schedule in the late 80s.

What are your thoughts on Piper, Goldust and Honky Tonk man being at comentary for Santino's match sure it was a bit funny but are they going anywhere with this are they actually going to set something up like a Survivor match with 3 of them against Santino and Beth and ?...

Ezekial Jackson, has been all big and shown that he can take a chair shot to the back by Triple H lol. Do you think later on down the road he should go solo?

If there is one change on the rosters for each brand you could do what would it be? ie - Raw (one change get someone from another brand) Smackdown (same) ECW (same). Who would you pick and one person only.

Thats a really good idea. We've seen some great santino promos, and all three of those guys have gotten great reactions from the crowd, so it would make sense to me.

Ezekial Jackson, has been all big and shown that he can take a chair shot to the back by Triple H lol. Do you think later on down the road he should go solo?

Yeah, He had the "look" ALthough i haven't seen him in the ring. Im sure he's good enough to at least get a shot at a singles run.

If there is one change on the rosters for each brand you could do what would it be? ie - Raw (one change get someone from another brand) Smackdown (same) ECW (same). Who would you pick and one person only.

THey mix n match so much now it doesnt really matter. I think the rosters are pretty even now to be honest. First i'd get Scotty Goldmen off of SD, and put him on Raw and actually use the guy. I'd put D-Lo on ECW. Elijah Burke back to smackdown. I believe good push for these guys is deserved.

Q1.How does a Fallen Angel gimmick return would help for the ME Mafia vs TNA Originals' storyline?

Well surprise returns and stuff like that is always fun and exciting. I think it could be one of those things where its AWESOME for a few weeks, then it will be back to the same ole Christoher Daniels. I'm having my doubt on how well TNA will book tihs fued, however it seems pretty easy to book. I think the most interesting part of the whole fued will be the MCMG. They said some very interesting words to start Impact. I loved when Shelly told Joe he didnt want to do his dirty work. So there is twist and turns TNA can use to make this a great fued. I'm not 100% sure how great it will be for Daniels in the long run. Sure it will be better than Curryman, but i dont know about him becoming a main event guy. Could happen though. I'd probably rather see Alex Shelly jump up at this point.

Q2.Who's your favorite TNA Knockout?

The Beautiful People. The Blond that has the nasty face....Idk, i still think she's hot.

Q3.How would you have AJ winning the TNA title from Sting?

I wouldn't do at Turning Point, and i wouldn't have booked AJ vs. Sting just yet. I'd probably have Sting hold it till march-may of 09. But TNA really likes to rush storylines Look back at the early 2008 ppvs of TNA and they seem like they were AGES ago. I think TNA needs to slow down a bit. I'd probably have Sting ducking AJ for a while, then AJ finally gets a shot, only to be screwed over. Then earns another shot in a slamiversary type match. Then win it.

Q4.Who are you pulling for between Lesnar and Coutre?

I hate lesnar. SO i hope Coutre knocks his head off.

Q5.What's your favorite SuicidalDragon YouTube video currently?

I dont really have one. My favorite move is the brain buster on the top rope. Not sure he has that one.

Q6.Priceless and Manu do dirty work for Orton while he possibly fueds with the McMahons and cause havoc to WWE.
Good Idea or Bad Idea?


Thats a good idea to me, but i dont know about this Orton kicking Dibiase in the head on raw. Orton + Priceless makes ALOT of sense to me. They go together like PB n J. Ketchup and mustard. Not sure why WWE is fighting this. I liked the idea of Team Adamle vs Team Orton at Survivor Series so it would be something like Orton Dibiase, Rhodes, Manu vs. Punk, Kofi, Cena, and someone else.

Q7.Rhyno vs Sheik Abdul Bashir instead of Creed.
WTF?


Bashir already beat Creed. Creed needs to built back up, because he was never built up right. I dont mind the Rhyno/Bashir fued. It will give Bashir a credible win as X division champ. I think its going to be a short fued, so im fine with this.

Do you think I give interesting questions? You seem to give longer answers for them :D

Does ROH need TV to grow? Or a would a global PPV deal do the trick instead? Could we see an ECW-like death if they get a TV deal?

Is Matt Hardy a good ECW Champ? It seems he's never on ECW half of the time.
