Do you think Sheamus was given a push too quickly? It seems degrading to be a former WWE Champion and now falling to mid-card, competing for the US title. Don't get me wrong - I love mid-carders, but I think Sheamus deserves better.
I think he was given a push, did well and then WWE totally screwed it up by letting him slide down the pole the way that they did. To be fair, we have heard that they had contract issues with him and until he signed they weren't going to push him. That is understandable but I would like to see them work those things out before pushing a talent and then having to put the brakes on him. The perception that most fans take when that happens is that a guy is no longer worthy.
After reading a interview about Randy Orton posted on your site recently, I was curious to find out how the other veterans, (Undertaker, Triple H, etc) feel about the Rock's return?
From the people I have spoken with, they have liked it. For one thing, Rock is a great guy and does not big time people. For another, him appearing on WrestleMania should add to the buyrate and that means that everyone that appears on the show will get a bigger bonus. There is a lot to like there.
Why is the Alliance angle usually hated so much by the IWC. I mean I was a kid when it first aired, and I fell in love with the angle. It had everything backstabbing, returns of Austin and Rock, a lot of heat between the WWF and the alliance, so many brawls everything was hyped really well, and if you go back and watch the match when the WWF scored the final pin fall there was a mega-huge pop from the crowd. So why is this angle so hated by the IWC, give me some reasons.
You would have to ask that IWC person why he/she hates it. I don't know them. The reason why most fans that I know hate it is because WWE totally wasted the purchases of WCW and ECW. It was an angle that could have gone on for a lot longer than it did and made the company way more money, but Vince McMahon decided to show that WWE was "the best" and job out the other two promotions. My main problem was that he didn't take the approach that he won the war the day he bought them and he should have used those new assets to make the company more money and give the fans more good stories to follow.
When do you think we'll see Arn Anderson in the Hall of Fame? I'm a huge fan of his and I thought for sure since he is from Atlanta this would be the year. His speech should be one for the ages. Same goes for Ron Simmons for the Hall. And is there a reason why Bob Backlund is not in?
I think Arn will get in sooner rather than later. He is a no-brainer. Like with Bruno Sammartino, if Bob Backlund was agreeable to being inducted I am sure they would put him in. Until then, there isn't much that they can do with him. I think Simmons will make it too but you can't induct everyone at once.
I know you guys loved the original ECW and were fans as well of the attitude era Monday night wars. You mentioned also enjoying Mexico and Japan in the early 90's during the down period cartoony era and WCW/NWA in the late 80's. What promotions/territories did you watch and enjoy the most in the mid and early 80's as well as the late 70's? My other question is I grew up in the mid 80's in the NY metro area. I only remember WWE and the NWA on TV. Were there any other promotions/territories on TV in my area in the 70's and 80's?
I loved Georgia Championship Wrestling on TBS, Florida, World Class, Mid South and Crockett in the early 80s. Basically, anything that was realistic and violent I liked.
