  1. Something that I've tossed around in my head for a while, does anybody have any opinion on this statement:

    Christian wouldn't have become World Heavyweight Champion in WWE if he'd not gone to TNA and won the NWA Title.

    Not necessarily because of the NWA Title, but to prove himself in a main event role. He was moving up around 2005 when he had matches and segments with the Cenas of the world, but he wasn't really "there".

    thoughts?

    True, and you can probably add Edge retiring suddenly to the list of things that needed to happen in order for Christian to get the belt.

  2. I thought I read somewhere that Punk took a gamble, and let WWE trademark his name.

    I'm not sure that's much of a gamble since he's probably done wrestling when his WWE career is up.

    But if he wanted to use the name for other projects/etc. when he's retired, he'll still have to be in the company in some capacity. You'll notice Austin doesn't refer to himself as Stone Cold on his podcast.

  3. Not dissing the guy, be it should've been obvious that Ryback was a guy that one be a one main-event-push kind of guy. I just don't see how anyone could've expected a guy who built his whole gimmick/moveset on "top star food" to have momentum to last once he feuded with a top guy.

    Imagine Goldberg jobbed to Hogan and fucked off? Or Batista lost to Triple H and fucked off?

    Ryback wasn't remotely as over as either guy.

    He wasn't booked remotely as well as either guy, but he was over and he could have been a big star.

    If they had protected him and given him better booking, Ryback absolutely could have been a big star. So what if he has a bad attitude, is super reckless, and has to be led through his matches. I just described Goldberg, too. And he had the extra handicap of working in WCW. It can be done.

  4. More like paralyzed for a week after he slammed, and killed the 1000 pound Andre in front of 500,000 fans, the President of the United States, and the Emperor, and Empress of the planet Betelgeuse, dude. 

     

    You throw a guy the size of Andre into the seventh row and you're bound to be a little sore the next day, brother.

  5. The comments I've seen said that he thinks he could come back and wrestle full time for a couple of years, and be at about 75-90% of what he was before he retired. But that he also had absolutely no desire to do that, and I can't imagine a match against Triple H would convince him to come back for even one payday.
