Do you think Vince is screwing up the NXT call ups more than he screwed up the 2001 Invasion angle? In 2001, he had the potential of making tons of money with WCW and flushed that. But now he's ruining his future by destroying any upcoming superstar, especially now that he has one arguably of the most indy popular and talented rosters of all time.
No, I can’t say that. There was a lot of ready made talent that come in back in 2001, which would have produced immediate revenue and continued to have done so if booked properly. The NXT talent that comes up, for the most part, is not at that name level yet. So he hasn’t done a great job with either, but he was worse back then.
I like the new look Kalisto had at the Rumble, as his previous look really resembles Rey Mysterio. It also doesn't help that Kalisto frequently does the seated senton move Rey did. Do you think Kalisto's similarities to Rey are a bad thing, and do you think he should take more steps to further distinguish himself from Rey?
Just the opposite. I have no problem with them creating a Rey 2. After all, Rey wore a mask so if they can create the same kind of character to appeal to kids, it makes sense to do it.
If I remember correctly, when he came to WWE, Steven Regal was forced to change his name to William because there was already a Steve Austin. Currently there is AJ Styles, Eden Stiles, and Joey Styles. Do you think one of them will be told to change their name, and if so, wouldn't it make the most sense for Eden to just drop her last name? In no way should AJ alter his name at all, in my opinion.
Joey Styles isn’t in the conversation since he is not an on air talent. Eden isn’t a wrestler, so I don’t see a big issue there either.
In this era of lack of surprises, who do you think would have been a great dark horse, completely unpredictable winner at the Royal Rumble? I would say Titus O'Neil. Now before the groans, lets look at this: no, I'm not saying he goes into WM as champ but how about he could have "Ronnie Garvin'd" the title at Fastlane. Look at this dude, he's big, a people person, a great talker, classy in a suit and believable to be champ (I'm not mentioning booking). Any thoughts on you end or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I like Titus and think they could definitely do more with him than they are. With that said, I think you answered your own question. The fans would know that he wouldn’t be going on to headline Mania so when he didn’t, it would be predictable. Now, if they get to a point where they build guys up better, and there are more than a handful of guys that are the potential winners, that could work.
With SBG (parent company to Ring of Honor) officially purchasing Tennis Channel with plans to make it a sports network, how likely is it that a Wednesday night live broadcast or a semi-regular live broadcast (ie. Clash of The Champions) takes place in the near future for Ring of Honor?
It would certainly seem like perfect corporate synergy for it to happen. I would put the odds at better than 50/50.
