What does the future hold for ROH? Does it have the potential of being a global organization?

Thats real tough to say at the moment. I think goal for ROH is to get on tv, gain more exposure, and grow. From what it sounds like, they have been having money problems, although that could all just be rumors. I would say ROH is in a OK position at the moment. If ROH draws 500 fans, sometimes they consider that to be poor. Well look at TNA. They have a ton of money flying out the window. So i think ROH in 2009 is going to look more into television, and hopefully get some financial backing. They might be penny pinching at the moment, but on the other hand, they are to show they are a sucessful organization with profits, before someone gives them financial backing. I still think one day ROH could take over the wrestling world. Or at least put its stamp on it. I would imagine the wwe would stay more on the entertainment side, while wrestling fans would stick with ROH. But who really knows , the adam pearce booking could blow up and ROH goes out of business. Its kinda 50/50 now for ROH.

- If you had to choose between the two, which one would it be: Kurt Angle vs. Bret Hart or The Rock vs. John Cena, and why?

It depends on the variables, although i really like these two matchups. If i ran the wwe, from a business perspective Cena/Rock would be a incredible draw, where as Angle/Bret would just be a great match. I think the buildup to both would be great, but again Cena/Rock Promos would be better.

From a fans perspective, In the wwe I'd rather see Cena/Rock due to the buildup. Plus the fact, the wwe never really allows their wrestlers to go all out. If we were talking ROH, or maybe even WCW back in the day Hitman and Angle would have a classic no doubt. Only if it wasn't in a wwe ring, would i take Angle vs. the Hitman.

- What do you think of Ted DiBiase Jr.?

As JR would say....He's a stud. I knew he was a very good wrestler heading into the wwe, but i didnt know how good he was on the mic. I think he's the total package. It would be a crime if the wwe doesn't book him properly. So far so good. But with all these 2/3rd generation clones, i hope he doesnt get overlooked. To me, he's on par with Randy Orton, without the backstage BS. So i very high on him, and as i mentioned earlier in a question, I'd look for him to end the career of HBK. Or least have a good fued before HBK retires.

Good Questions.

-If there was one superstar on ECW that you think will look good in the near future and has a chance to grow and move up into the big leagues being Raw or Smackdown who would it be and why?

-If you could be the general manger of TNA or ROH which one would it be and why like totally run the business and manage the rosters?

-If you could have Stone Cold vs. John Cena or at wrestlemania 25 as Austins last match (he said he will have one in his home town) how would you build it up and who would be heel / face etc... ie with build up like Austin eliminates Cena from Rumble (do your think and explain).

-Ron Killings, he has now got his second wwe run which is a pretty good mid card area run but you can't deny he isn't young anymore compared to others coming in the curtains and do you see him staying around much longer before being released again?

That's all I got for now. :jockey:

-If there was one superstar on ECW that you think will look good in the near future and has a chance to grow and move up into the big leagues being Raw or Smackdown who would it be and why?

Hmmm, I guess if i could pick anyone on the roster, I'd go with John Morrison. I think he's paid his dues already, and will likely step up into the upper card of Raw/SD in the near future. (He's already on Raw and SD though) So i'll give my thoughts on the main wrestlers on the roster.

Matt Hardy: I think he's going to continue his sucess from ECW on the bigger stage. He's been given the ball to carry ECW, and has done so. I'd imagine he will be a main event guy in a few years.

Evan Bourne: We've seen him become a focal point of the new ecw and the fans and wwe creative are really getting behind him. Before the injury. I would expect to see him being drafted to a major show in 09.

Jack Swagger: I like this guy. His biggest problem he's going to have to overcome is seperating himself from the other cocky young heels, that all look alike. I think he can seperate himself somehow he will have a very nice career ahead of him.

Boogieman: Don't count out the boogieman just yet. He's only been released like 3 times now, but has a great gimmick. He's even beat a former world champ at WM. He might surface and make some noise on Raw/SD.

Miz: Similar to Morrison. I think both these will become major players, just Morrison will do it faster.

Ricky Ortiz: Apparently im the only guy that likes this guy. I think if things fall into place for this guy, he could be big. At the moment, the undefeated storyline aint working for him. They gotta get him in a storyline thats going show his creative side. Give him a valet, Amplify his character EVEN more. Guys like him and jack swagger are on the bubble, but both might have nice careers ahead of them.

Thats pretty much all whole roster. You got veterns like Finlay, Henry, and Chavo, but its likely those guys will just get throw back into the loop.


-If you could be the general manger of TNA or ROH which one would it be and why like totally run the business and manage the rosters?

Good question. As you probably know, im a big ROH fan, but if i could be GM of TNA or ROH, i'd probably pick TNA. I don't think i could ROH much better than it already is. There is so much room for improvement in TNA. They have a incredible roster, a great time slot, veterns, youth, financial backing, and everything a GM would need to be sucessful. I'd like to think i get could TNA at least a 1.5 mark if i were to take over. I'd focus on the product on marketing. I'd alter the roster, I'd listen to the fans a bit more. I'd try some non-conventional ideas to make the TNA different than WWE. (other than the ring) So I'd have the challenge of making TNA strong competition against WWE, Rather than ROH struggling for mainstream exposure.

-If you could have Stone Cold vs. John Cena or at wrestlemania 25 as Austins last match (he said he will have one in his home town) how would you build it up and who would be heel / face etc... ie with build up like Austin eliminates Cena from Rumble (do your think and explain).

If i knew Austin was 100% sure wrestling, I probably would book this match. How i would go about it, that would be a tough question. What I'd probably do is have Chris Jericho vs John Cena at Survivor Series with a special guest referee spot. Jericho protest, and both him and Cena have issues with Austin referee (enforcing the rules too hard) Chris Jericho locks Cena in the walls of Jericho where he's reaching for the top rope, only to tap out. The next night Cena comes out and says he was screwed. Austin was a bad referee. Cena takes a few jabs the following weeks saying he's the baddest SOB in this ring now. Austin joins the annoucing staff on raw in 09. I'd put Cena vs Jericho in the main event at the RR. Austin doing commentary. Cena FU's Jericho threw the table, Cena/Austin continue to jaw. Cena saying Austin is old news and washed up. Austin calling Cena soft. John Cena ends up winning the belt and at the end of the RR and shoves it in Austins face, saying he's the best in the world. Time stops, and these two have a epic staredown and as austin knocks the belt out of Cena's hands as a million officials seperate the two.

Next night Cena cuts a semi heel promo saying he's your champ again, and if you don't like it. Thats too bad. Austin has been fired from annoucing but says he's coming to raw next week to address cena. Austin says he wants Cena at WM. Cena ducks austin for a few weeks, until he finally agree to take on stone cold. So heading into mania you have the semi-heel wwe champ John Cena taking on Face Stone Cold, in his hometown.

So i'd probably book it to have Vince return to help John Cena, only to be a victim of yet another stunner, and Austin stuns cena for the 123. Place goes wild, Cena snaps, as Vince hands Cena a chair as Cena bashes Austin knee in. Cena exits WM a mega heel, with Austin forced to release the belt. Only to be placed in a tournament. Thats what i'd do, if that makes sense.

-Ron Killings, he has now got his second wwe run which is a pretty good mid card area run but you can't deny he isn't young anymore compared to others coming in the curtains and do you see him staying around much longer before being released again?

I think he's already been around longer than before. Ha ha. He really didnt stay around very long the first time. I think he's going to have a good with the wwe, and being a multi time mid card champ. The guy can wrestle, and has decent mic skills. I think he's paid his dues, and has matured to the point where it would be a poor move to release him again. A lot of the guys coming don't have somehting special to offer. Ithink Killings does. I hate the R-Truth name though. They should change that.

Hey, I was just cruising and noticed that there's a bit of a "Hate Kennedy" fad goin' 'round on the internet...
so since you're an expert mod ni'gga dude, could I ask why people are hating on my Favorite Wrestler?


and...

like, what would you like to see as the Main Event of WM 25?

 

[Dre]

Can you give me your thoughts on Dedication 3?

 

[El Joo Magnifico]

Why do you bold the questions instead of takign them straight form quote?

What do you think of Metallica?

I did call you hispanic.

Who's hating on Mr Kennedy? They probably are just mad he misses ton of time due to injuries/suspensions. I can't see any other reason to not like him.


like, what would you like to see as the Main Event of WM 25?

Hmm HBK vs The Rock would be a pretty epic matchup. Cena vs Austin. Those would be the dream matchups. Of the down to earth matchups, I'd like to see Jeff Hardy in the main slot. Its time to put him officially over. I think Jeff Hardy vs Edge Ladder match main event would be a step in the right direction. Two guys in their prime, on the top of their game.

Can you give me your thoughts on Dedication 3?

Hmm, im not a big wayne fan, and i really dont keep up with mixtapes much. I like DJ remix mixtapes, but not so much freestyle mixtapes. I used to dj, so i keep with the commercial stuff, instrumentals, acapellas and all that stuff. When you start throwing in mixtapes, its just too much.

PM me music questions, trying to keep this thread wrestling only.

Why do you bold the questions instead of takign them straight form quote?

Why would i take i them straight from a quote? I like it this way.

What do you think of Metallica?

I think if i was a rock fan i'd like them. They've kinda been punks since the napster thing though.

Question 1: Miss me? lol

Question 2: Do you think that Blue Demon Jr. will relenquish the NWA title soon? (if you keep up with the indy's)

Question 3: Do you think we should start the groups thing again so some of the newer ones go off to kill themselves. lol. JK

 

[El Joo Magnifico]

They've kinda been punks since the napster thing though.

At the moment, Im downloading the Black Sabbath discogrpahy.

How do you feel about the subject on downloading and sharing files?

2 more Montana and thanks for answering mine:

1. Will Cena win on Sunday?
2. If so, will he spin the WHC?

 

[Nancy Di Loreto]

We saw Nigel retain, and AOTF fall apart at ROH Driven. Thoughts of the PPV?

Do you believe a company should always have it's main title in the main event of a major event/PPV?

 

[Evil Austin]

time for my new three hard questions :crazy:

1. Ok instead of ECW being brought back in 2006 with the ECW invasin on Raw and ECW one night stand etc. Would you think it would be better all around with ratings and viewers if it was WCW return? instead of Paul it would be Eric Bischoff gm?

(my thoughts on why I say it would be)
- Because ECW loses viewers because it ins't extreme so to speak, that's why people boycott it. WCW was never extreme in the heart so it has nothing to lose and all to gain.
- Eric was already a gm of raw before and he is familir with to most of the people, he could also use that in an angle somewhere to hype it up saying that they kicked him to the curb etc.

2. If you could become a professional wrestler and start in any indipendant promotion besides OVW cause that conrims your stay in WWE. Where would you want to start? and why would you chose that place to have your first match (no TNA or WWE).

3.Undertaker's streak? is it too late for it to end just too great now?

 

[Montana]

Question 1: Miss me? lol

Yes, where've you been???

Question 2: Do you think that Blue Demon Jr. will relenquish the NWA title soon? (if you keep up with the indy's)

I think he's going to be a transitional champ to a bigger name. I think he will drop it in early 09.

Question 3: Do you think we should start the groups thing again so some of the newer ones go off to kill themselves. lol. JK

Hmmm, we kinda grouped up a little iwth the Staff vs Members olympics. Thats was good enough for me.

How do you feel about the subject on downloading and sharing files?

Hmmm I must do i do DL lots of illegal music, but on the flipside i have bought a TON of music as well. I used to dj in case you didnt know. So i was buying CD's and the Vinyl singles for the same stuff. Those vinyl singles were like 7$ if you didn't get a promo. So by overpaying all these years, I think music industry got a piece of reality.

I just think music is still a little overpriced. Depending where you go a new album could be 10-18 bucks. Sometimes as low as 7 if they discount the first week. To me, thats still too much, especially if the album sucks.

So basically the industry needs to adjust. The artist should tour more. They make a killing on that as well. SO i think fans should support their favorite artist. If someone DL's a great a album, they should just do out and buy it.

1. Will Cena win on Sunday?

Im kinda 60/40 on this leaning towards he won't win the belt. Part of me says he will win it to set up mania, plus its in his home town. The other part of me says Jericho doesn't deserve to lose the belt.

2. If so, will he spin the WHC?

When he wins it, i believe he will.

We saw Nigel retain, and AOTF fall apart at ROH Driven. Thoughts of the PPV?

You've seen it??? I havent seen it yet. I can't get pPV at my place, and i'd just get the DVD anyway.

Do you believe a company should always have it's main title in the main event of a major event/PPV?

Not always. I do think ROH should do it a a bit more often. Most noticably was Nigel vs Claudio on before, Danielson vs Black at New Horizons. A good example of when it should go on last is Man Up. The ladder war between Steenerico and the Briscoes. Or special dream matches. ROH generally puts on the best match last.


1. Ok instead of ECW being brought back in 2006 with the ECW invasin on Raw and ECW one night stand etc. Would you think it would be better all around with ratings and viewers if it was WCW return? instead of Paul it would be Eric Bischoff gm?

Hmm, that is a very interesting point. I don't think WCW would have done any better of a job. In fact, i think WCW may have done a little worse. Sure, the fans weren't receptive to the new ECW at first, but now fans understand what its all about. They give new talent a shot. See who can get over with the fans. You could call it wcw, but it still would have been a wwe verison of WCW. It would have been on Sci Fi, with the same time slot. Same roster too. SO i really can't see much of a difference.

2. If you could become a professional wrestler and start in any indipendant promotion besides OVW cause that conrims your stay in WWE. Where would you want to start? and why would you chose that place to have your first match (no TNA or WWE).

Right now i think there is a few good routes to go. Its florida championship wrestling now, thats taken over for OVW. Which pretty much everyone needs to cross through to enter the wwe. I believe a lot of new talent is being noticed in Chikara, from their school. From the best of my knowledge, its not that hard to get into the wrestling school and show. I could be wrong, idk for sure. But i think Chikara is the best place to start at the moment. Chikara is just a fresh new indy that seems to give a lot of talent a shot. After that, I believe ROH is the place to get noticed. ROH can basically add any indy wrestler to their roster they want. They have the most exposure, and thats the place to be.

If you didn't want to go that route, the revamped NWA wouldn't be a bad option either. There's several ways to go, but the big companies are looking at specefic things. The wwe looks for size. That something extra about a wrestler, something special. TNA looks for someone who can help their product, to fill a void. They really havent been signing much though.

3.Undertaker's streak? is it too late for it to end just too great now?

Yeah, Its not so much its so great. Its the fact there no one that could beat him, and have it be beneficial. Theres really nothing worth the Undertaker to put over. Thats the main reason he hasn't lost imo.
