KURT ANGLE'S CRAZY CLAIMS, SHIMMER, WHY WWE DOESN'T BUILD STRONGER STORYLINES GOING INTO BIG GIMMICK MATCHES AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2011-11-19 10:00:00
I was wondering why the Hell In A Cell matches (And the elimination chamber matches) are booked so badly, now they are just a yearly pay per view which people just expect the stipulations to be used with matches thrown in together (for example Triple H's throw away comment of 'Cena is owed a rematch, but so is CM Punk so lets make it a 3 way') and the elimination chamber matches are just picked together by a tournament if were lucky. I remember my first Hell In A Cell match which was HHH vs YTJ which they built up as if it really was hell. I also remember when Bishoff announced the first ever Elimination Chamber which had a huge build around it. I feel that with a good 4 week build up to a Hell in a Cell match or have that many people deserve a shot at the title that the Anonymous/Forgotten Raw GM chimes in and announces a chamber match.

The matches are used that way because WWE's current mindset is that the PPV themes are what draw, not the scenarios leading into the matches.  Until that changes, it will be more of the same, sadly.

Before the Monday Night Football game between the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers the image of performer Hank Williams, Jr. was removed due to certain comments toward President Barack Obama. If a wrestler within WWE stated such things would he or she be suspended/fired? What would happen if anything?

I don't see wrestlers being invited to be on shows to discuss politics, but if it happened, I don't believe they would be suspended.  People would dismiss it as a wrestler just being his character.

Have you personally ever attended any tapings of the all womens wrestling promotion SHIMMER live? If so, what was the experience like?

I've yet to attend the promotion in person, but greatly enjoy their DVD product.  I hope to make it to a taping in 2012.  Everyone should check out their product at www.shimmerwrestling.com.


Why does Kurt Angle make such incredible claims involving UFC when they can easily be checked/verified?

The same reason birds fly South for the winter, because they can, so they do.  You can't take anything Angle says seriously because he's just trying to get attention.

I noticed that when Tara comes to the ring she does so on a motorcycle. Is Tara an avid motorcycle rider or is it just for show?

She's an avid rider and actually owns a body shop in Kentucky.
