Sting would be fresh in this environment, but would have a short shelf life.

Undertaker will always have value as a short term attraction. His injuries over the years have actually kept him fresh.

Nash would wear out his welcoome quickly, and be essentially worthless beyond maybe one money match.

Booker, when motivated, can be a upper mid card asset.

Jericho is the best heel around (not named CM Punk), but is smart enough to disappear every few years. You wont see him for a while.

Fuck HHH. Is there a more tired act?

Sting would be good for the WM push, plus a PPV or two after, and then after that, I can't see him or fans really caring. The novelty of Sting-Taker would be great...after that...who cares?

Undertaker being a special attraction is good for business. Just no more Kane feuds, plz.

Nash is worthless. Although, I'm willing to give him a brief benefit of the doubt, its been like 15 years since he has been in a structured environment where he wasn't running shit...so maybe the E makes him watchable...just please don't be Diesel.

Booker can work...just need him to be in an environment where he isn't running shizz, because he won't willingly put anyone over. However, he is perfect as an announcer...they must hate Striker for some reason. Always busting his balls and always the odd man out.

Jericho just has other interests...I think he gets bored with wrestling these days and loves doing the TV and movie thing. So, he takes the hiatus every few years and then comes back fresh and "new" but I don't think its as methodical as you make it seem...I just think he gets bored of wrestling, even though its his passion...music and tv are other interests of his.

You can manage to stomach watching TNA weekly (unless that's changed?) but Triple H coming back to Raw would make you stop watching it?

Triple H bores me and him constantly being in the title picture was a big reason why I stopped watching WWE in the first place. The only time I felt he was an interesting character was when he was an uber-heel as "The Game" going around and conspiring to hit people with cars and beating people with sledgehammers. I find him impossible to get behind as a good guy and I'm still bitter about how he did Booker T.

When HHH does his returns, he's fine for a month or two. Then he'll turn into GTFO my tv.

I doubt he'll ever be a full-time main eventer again, besides maybe when he initially returns after feuding with Sheamus.

Some new details on Kevin Nash's return, he was on ESPN Radio's Pro Wrestling Report and mentioned a few things in the interview:

He says that the WWE flew him out from Daytona Beach, where he lives, and gave him great accommodations while in Boston for the Rumble. He said that usually whenever TNA flew him anywhere, they made him drive 90 miles to Orlando first.

He said that he signed some paperwork and got a physical when he got to the arena, and then after he checked out he talked with Triple H, Stephanie and Vince in the time leading up to the Rumble, catching up and discussing future plans. He also met a couple guys from THQ and talked about future WWE video games.

Nash said that he is currently signed to a Legends contract, which will have him and his likeness involved in possible Toys, Games and DVDs. He said he is meeting with WWE officials tomorrow to talk about what he will do next and if he will have any thing else coming up.

Also, he posted the following on his twitter:


Quote:
I want to thank everyone at WWE. All the fans in Boston. For giving me a night I will never forget. (GroundHog Day) I’ll relive that 1 over

As long as WWE will have me in wrestling capacity and my body can handle it, I will wrestle. It’s what I do! Best decision of my life.

When Vince McMahon is the boss and your best friend and his wife run creative and you see each other and hug and there is true emotion….

Contracts aren’t needed. I will do whatever I’m asked. I was welcomed back into the Family. I wont make mistake of leaving again!

To explain why I want to retire as Diesel: Vince McMahon was the 1st person to ever see anything in me and believe in me. He gave me my 1st push and made me a star. Without Vince there is no Diesel. Without Diesel Kevin Nash is a mediocre basketball player from the University of Tennessee. The biggest pop I've received since '97 happened Sunday night. Diesel's back, where he belongs. Circle of Life.

Jericho's new book comes out later this month. It's the sequel to his first and starts off where it left off (moments before his WWF debut).

Should be another great read.

Although HHH is suppose to be taking over for Vince and he has the "acting" career now. I still think he is going wrestle enough to surpass Flair with World Heavyweight titles. Just cause he's a dick and now he can do it.

He'll come back and I'll like it for a show or two then its old hat.

 

[JayDizzle]

Good to see Nash figured out where to get his paychecks from.

Question is, do his knees let him do one last Jackknife Powerbomb or is he stuck doing chokeslams the rest of his career?

I doubt you see Nash do more than one match, if that.

 

[IamMedellin]

dont give a fuk about Nash
dont give a fuk about Booker T
dont give a fuk about Trips

and apparently...After watching this years royal Rumble match, the WWE fans dont give a fuk about another Cena/0rton program

Unfortunately, it's not being released on the fucking Kindle (at least right now).
I hate that shit.
I want the book on my damn Kindle.



I like that Kevin Nash is back in WWE. He can get by doing the odd PPV or Raw appearance. He doesn't have to be a steady performer.
I hope Scott Hall gets well enough one day to have his last call with the WWE.

Impressed you caught that.

Scott Hall was a real nice guy when I interviewed him for my newspaper in 1995. I hope he turns his life around. He really was a nice guy.
I forgive Randy Savage for telling me to fuck off.

 

[EmpireWF]

Scott Hall... I hope he turns his life around.

People have been saying that for over a decade now.

 

[dave]

People have been saying that for over a decade now.

True.

But I hold out hope.

He was a brilliant worker, had out of this world charisma, and could still help a wrestling company if he got his shit straightened out.

The Macho Man told you to fuck off?

 

[dave]

The Macho Man told you to fuck off?

Yeah ... pretty much a career highlight.

 

[manchild24]

I thought thats what Empire meant when he said "People have been saying that for over a decade now." thought he was referring to Dave.
