Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


What I think will happen is Roman will spear and pin Dean 1 2 3 and literally nobody will ever mention it much less make a big deal of it, and then Dean will transition into his Mania feud of let's say Stardust.

is there actually a committee or anything for the HoF (something similar to like, the proces the press does for football/baseball) or is it just Vince picking a random episode from the network and choosing whoever happens to go over for that year

is Mike Sharpe in the HOF? He'll probably get in this year. And I agree, Koko is definitely deserving of the HOF. I just think some fans who only watched WWF have no clue how good that guy was.

Even saddled with the bad Birdman gimmick, Koko had a good look and was very charismatic. He did excellent work in the indies to as someone pointed out. If he was 6'2" or taller he probably would have been a huge star.

If Johnny Rodz is in the HOF, Sharpe definitely deserves induction. Steve Lombardi and Mario Mancini too, they were some really good jobbers in that era.

As much as I hate fantasy booking, it seems clear to me that Bray is going to take Brock out of the match, and then by some fuckery or distraction Roman will get the win. It's pretty much the worst way you can finish the match.

Brock will face Wyatt, Roman will face HHH, and Dean will compete in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal on the pre-show.

Of course Perfect's in, he went in in 2007. I can easily see Shamrock, Blackman and Bossman going in when they really start getting desperate. Tommy Dreamer wouldn't surprise me either. The key thing for me is that the standards, by nature, have to get lower after every year as they keep digging into that mine of important people in wrestling. They've already dug up the diamonds and gold and are working their way through the silver pretty drat fast, so pretty soon that copper will start looking pretty good.

On the Fastlane front, I hope that literally every Fast Lane ends with a guy who is more over than Roman losing to him and wishing him luck at Wrestlemania. I'd definitely take that in stride as part of the Monkey Paw wish of Dean beating Lesnar definitively at Wrestlemania though.

Yeah, that's the far more likely outcome, I admit.

Also I wanted to ask,

Obviously the Undertaker is the last holdout of the 90s profession-based gimmicks.
Who was the last one active other than taker? Was it Bossman?

It's not 90s based, but Breeze is a real throwback to the 90s style gimmicks.

Definitely Breeze. Especially with that "profession based gimmick but dresses nothing like people in those professions do" thing in the style of the Undertaker, Skinner and (at least for the time period) The Mountie.

just skipping through smackdown this week. seems like a decent show.

enjoyed aj and jericho teaming against the social outcasts
enjoyed dudleyz heel promo
enjoying sasha v naomi for the most part although man, becky could probably use some talking points if she's gonna do commentary. it's a lot of 'uh yeah so sasha is the boss and...uh, well they don't...uh, i got a cheap shot right? that's what i was saying right? uh...y-y-y-know one on one she can't b-beat me uhh....'. i mean we've seen her do good promos that were likely tightly scripted. looks like that's the way to go with becky - she can deliver emotionally, but when it comes to verbal creative, she doesn't have jack poo poo.
