Loki Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 How did they manage to take the drawing power out of Hogan-Flair before getting to a PPV? That seems like the worst kind of self-destructive booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 6, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) How did they manage to take the drawing power out of Hogan-Flair before getting to a PPV? That seems like the worst kind of self-destructive booking.Well they didn't really. Like most feuds it was booked around the horn on the house show circuit and it didn't draw as well. Not sure why, perhaps a down turn in business at the time? Hogan's brand was hurt by the scandals of the summer of '91. Also Hogan's classic formula was with big men and Sid looked like a star. Flair was a big star and everything but to WWF fans did he look like someone who could topple Hogan? Edited June 6, 2013 by WWFChilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 7, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 On the latest episode of The Steve Austin Show, Kurt Angle tells Steve that he's got a year and a half left on his current TNA contract and that after time that he will see what happens / consider his options. I just figured that he was hinting at hanging his boots up and calling it a day, but then he goes on to say that he wants to continue wrestling for four more years yet (he's 44 now). In the same interview he says that he has been very happy in TNA, but admits that he does miss his days in WWE. Â I got the impression that he would be very open to returning to WWE on a reduced schedule (TVs and PPVs). He's done everything he can for TNA now, and he knows that WWE is still and always will be, the show. Â I'd absolutely love to see him get another run there. He's a huge name that they could throw straight back into the main event mix and really freshen up the product. Or they could use him in that Jericho role of the popular midcard hand to help get other guys over. Â What do you reckon- would a 46 year old Kurt Angle in the WWE appeal to you?

Big Rob Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I can't stand Kurt Angle (at least not in his epic, 20+ minute main event style matches), so no, that wouldn't be something I'd want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Kurt Angle Vrs Bryan, Punk, Ziggler, Show, Menry, Shield members, etc.... Yes fucking please.A two year run followed by the Hall of Fame and a classy Wrestlemania retirement would be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Is Dave Batista in London right now, then??Sweet, I'm off to see Action Bronson on Friday and they are mates; I hope he brings him along to the show.Batista's in London for four or five months doing the Marvel film, I think.I guess that all depends on how the matches were booked. Could Hogan be convinced to lose, it would be hard to think so. Maybe even passing out in the figure four? You certainly could not put Hogan/Flair on in the same spot as Savage/Flair.The sensible (but cop-out) ending probably would've been the same as what was meant to happen with Sid. Hogan would have Flair beat, Papa Shango runs in for the DQ, Warrior makes the save. Then you've got Warrior vs Flair as your summer feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 7, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Meltzer said that WWE were going to offer Kurt angle a deal a couple of years ago when his last TNA deal was set to expire, but then he got into all that bother with the police and Vince brought up in a meeting that Angle was no longer an option.If Angle can stay out of bother I can see WWE having him back for another run. Angle isn't The Rock or Hulk Hogan, but he's been away long enough and is big enough to come in and slot back into the main event and generate a bit of interest.

TheShowOff Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Kurt Angle back in the WWE would seem super fresh. Angle vs Punk, Lesnar, Cena, Orton, Jericho, Daniel Bryan, Shield etc are all very appealing at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted June 7, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 It's not often you'll hear me say this, as primarily a TNA fan, but in a year's time he will have achieved all he can in TNA and maybe a move north would be the best option.

Loki Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Agreed, I've seen all the TNA matches of his that I'd want, whereas there are loads of WWE feuds that would be perfect.I'm a big fan of Angle, still. I understand the criticism that he overuses his finisher, etc etc but I don't care, his matches are generally athletic, exciting and dramatic and that's what I look for.I can imagine Angle v Ziggler being pretty amazing, for instance.

Wrasslin Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I would love to see Angle back.But given those names listed the most interesting match between any of them would be Daniel Bryan Vs Lesnar surely?It would be like the Ryback matches but significantly better.

Now that you've said it, I'm going to be devastated if we never see that programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted June 7, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm getting waaaay ahead here and the stars would have to dramatically re-align, but I'd love to see Rampage turn up in WWE. Rampage v Lesnar sounds absolutely mouth watering to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
