PWINSIDER Q&A: ROYAL RUMBLE, VADER, ECW TAG AND TV TITLES AND MORE

Answered on 8/24

Do you think this year's Royal Rumble will be ten ECW stars, ten RAW stars and ten Smackdown stars in the rumble?

There are ten ECW stars?  Seriously, while I think it would be nice to have the brands treated as equals, I definitely can't see an equal number of participants from each brand. 

When do you think WWE will bring back the ECW tag team and TV titles? With all these new feuds starting to build up, I think now would be a good time. What's your opinion?

I wouldn't introduce any additional titles into ECW. With only one hour of TV a week, I don't see there being enough time (the way WWE does things), to get over another set of belts.

Which do you feel was the best way that a wrestler debuted? I always think of Chris Jericho's WWE debut. Everyone knew it was him, and when "JERICHO" appeared on the Titantron, he got the pop, even though he was a heel.

Jericho's WWE debut was definitely one of the cooler moments of that decade. I also think Tazz' WWE debut, coming out at the Royal Rumble in Madison Square Garden to choke out Kurt Angle was very well done, although WWE never did much with him agter that.

Why did Vader stop wearing his big mask that shot smoke in the air?

According to Vader himself, the reason he ditched the mask was because he wasn't that comfortable walking with it on, and felt it made his movements tentative and timid-looking. Vader said the first time he came out without it, everyone noticed how much more menacing he was, just from his own movements and mannerisms, so he stopped wearing it.

I was wondering, was the AWA the only place where Bruiser Brody used the name King Kong Brody? I know he started using the King Kong name in the AWA due to Dick The Bruiser being around the promotion, but wondered if he decided to use it anywhere else.

I believe he may have been billed in Puerto Rico at one point as "King Kong Bruiser Brody", but for the most part he was King Kong in the AWA, and Bruiser everywhere else.
