I couldn't care any less about that wedding happening in England than I do now, but it does give me the opportunity for an easy theming for this week's Friday Five!
1. What was your favorite King of the Ring tournament?
2. Buy or sell: Prince Iaukea was underrated in WCW.
3. Who would you rather rule over your kingdom: Jerry Lawler, Booker T or Randy Savage?
4. How well do you think the Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli and their Queen, Sara del Rey) would fit in WWE? TNA?
5. Better court jester: Santino Marella or Eric Young?
Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!
1 - 1996 - this was the beginning of the true ATTITUDE ERA as BY GAWD STONE COLD stepped out of the Ringmaster gimmick and opened a can of whoop ass on the industry
ReplyDelete2 - he was not underated. i was never impressed with him
3 - jerry lawler
4 - in the WWE - they'd be under used. In TNA - they'd be used as comedy fodder
5 - Eric young - he is so fun to watch
1. 1993, even though I was pulling for Bam Bam.
ReplyDelete2. Big-time sell. Iaukea was given opportunity after opportunity, an inexplicable TV Title run, a loooooooong run on TV, and even a gimmick change after Russo came over. He fared better than a thousand other bottom-carders who were less mediocre.
3. The Macho King! I like my royalty a little bit George III, and Savage probably talks to trees, dig it.
4. Frankly, I'm astonished that neither promotion has picked them up yet. Claudio in particular is a guy who is basically everything WWE is after. I'm starting to wonder if he's in the indies by choice at this point.
5. Santino, though I do have a soft spot for EY.
1. A tie between '94 and '01 - '94 because of the great mat-work from Owen, and '01 because it was the first real KotR that I had a guy I was marking for win in Edge.
ReplyDelete2. Sell - I always thought of him as a bad rip-off of Marc Mero's Johnny B.Good gimmick.
3. I have to agree with Bill when it comes to the Macho King!OOOOOOHHHHHHH YEAH!
4.They'd be broken up, misused and then FE'd.
5.COBRAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Not a huge Santino guy, but Eric Young is one of the worst things in pro-wrestling.
ReplyDelete1. What was your favorite King of the Ring tournament?-SCSA wins KoR.
ReplyDelete2. Buy or sell: Prince Iaukea was underrated in WCW.-SELL! SELL! SELL!
3. Who would you rather rule over your kingdom: Jerry Lawler, Booker T or Randy Savage?-Lawler
4. How well do you think the Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli and their Queen, Sara del Rey) would fit in WWE? TNA?-Better in WWE than in TNA. TNA would have them feud with the Beautiful People, or the masturbating midget!
5. Better court jester: Santino Marella or Eric Young?-Santino!
1 - 1992 had the best matches and Bret Hard won.
ReplyDelete2 - Who? I have almost zero recollection of this guy.
3 - Savage. He was the best. Lawler a close 2nd. If Harley was a choice, I'd have gone with him.
4 - No clue.
5 - Santino. Eric Young is THE WORST. He isn't fit to step foot inside my kingdom. He'd be shot on sight.
