I enjoy answering these questions, so dont worry about asking a similar one. Keep them coming.
Alright heres a question for you, what do you think of John Morrison? Personally I think he needs a bigger push but ive read your posts and I respect your opinion so im curious.
John Morrision. Hmmm. Well, i guess i'd have to start kinda back before he was morrision. I think he's one of the funnest guys in the wwe to watch. His series with Jeff Hardy over the IC belt, bought a lot of attention back to the belt i thought. The weakest part of Morrision game is his mic skills. Not bad at all, but i think they are giving him some time to improve, which he is doing. I do think the wwe messed up sometime in late 2006 i think with Johnny Nitro. They had a perfect chance to be a super face. I thought they could have really put over Nitro and it would have worked so perfectly. Around that time their were rumblings of Nitro joining DX. In my opinion, they could have pulled it off flawlessly. Nitro had a DX like character in OVW. All he had to do some dump Melina, and join DX and i think he would have been sky rocketed. HHH could have done for Nitro, what HBK did for HHH. He would have fit in really well. He got a real good pop one night when he talked back to melina, then they just stopped the face turn.
With that being said, i've kinda been against the morrision character based on the fact they really didnt explore the Nitro character more. Morrision would have been really cool. farther on down the line in his career. I like the morrision character, i just thought they could have done more with Nitro. In the future i could see Morrision as a world champ, depending on how the chips fall. Come to think of it, Wouldnt Jericho vs Nitro be a awesome fued? But yeah, he's probably in my top 5 wrestlers matches i watch. As far as my favorites in the wwe, i'd say he's around 10-15. Maybe a little lower.
Oh and heres another one that was spurred on by the new Triple H dvd what match between him and Mick Foley is better in your opinion the Hell in The Cell from No Way Out 2000 or the Street Fight from Royal Rumble 2000?
This is a tough one because i barely remember the HIAC. Im pretty sure the Street fight was better bc i remember it.
I havent picked up the HHH Dvd because i wasnt really into the matches they selected. THen again, maybe i'm not a huge Trips fan. I actually remember seeing him in WCW as Terra Ryzing thinking he was going to be good one day. (I said that about alex wright too though) So when Hunter Hearst Helmsley came to the wwf, i was kinda into to him. I think i lost interest after the second DX. I like his lead by example attitude and i think he would be a good choice to run the company (more so than steph/shane) I'd just like to see him put a few more people over. The game does have a eye for talent. A lot of the guys he said NOT to put over, actually were the right decision imo. HHH eats, sleeps, and breathes wrestling, and he should get more credit than what he has been. Maybe he will win the belt tonight, who knows.
How would you have done Flair's retirement match/angle? A lot of people have said that they wished they would have put him up against a young guy to put that talent over, but what you have done differently, if anything, out of this angle?
Well, as far as that putting over young talent goes, what do you think Flair has been doing the past 6 years??? I don't think Flair is losing tonight. I would hate to see Flair lose and leave. Bottomline, is Ric Flair has basically been given creative control for the past 5 months or so. Im pretty sure he picked his opponents for most of the shows. He's had a chance to work with most all of the up in coming stars and is a nice close to one of the greatest careers in the business. Probably the greatest.
As far as what i would have done. With the talent on the current roster i would have done a evolution fatal fourway. Kinda like stacking the odds against HHH/Flair (the faces) Batista would play the tweener. The fans wouldnt give flair a shot, and Flair actually goes on to win the championship and retires. Thus bringing back a King of the Ring like tourament for the belt. I'm pretty sure they would have had no problem pulling this off.
Other fun matches i've about
- Ric Flair vs Cody Rhodes.
This could have been huge in my opinion. Bring back Dusty rhodes and have them bring back old memories and stuff. I think this would have worked better than typical Kennedy/MVP like young star. This one kinda writes itself. Too bad Cody Rhodes isn't really ready for this yet.
- Ric Flair vs Legend
Theres a handful of guys out there. Hogan, Sting, Steamboat, Dusty, These would be kinda cool, but a crappy match. Probably why flair picked HBK.
Thats about all really. I think his options were limited. Flair vs HBK works for me though.
