Emails and Answers on Regal; Orton; KOR
Well, one thing you can't say about last night's RAW was that it was predictable. The King of the Ring tourney in my opinion turned out better than expected, and the main event had a real main event feel with the biggest stars on each brand all involved in the event. We've gotten a lot of response on what went down, and instead of answering the "Shout Box" and private emails (letswrestlewwe@gmail.com), I will spend a few minutes doing it in this post instead.
The Impaler: Why give regal a push...Sure they don't need one for Punk with him having the MITB...but what about...Maybe Finlat, maybe MVP...Why Regal?
Me: The decision to give Regal the win last night was quite a head scratcher. The biggest question will have to be about Regal's continued in-ring decision to wrestle full-time, and from all accounts, last night was a push for him to be in-ring a lot more than we've seen him in sometime. All I can say is that Regal is going to be 43 in May, but at the same time, he can still bring it, as we've seen the last two weeks.
beans: People may hate Orton but what would we do without him? Have Regal as champion?? I think not.
Me: I recently wrote a piece about who has the best odds of beating Orton next for the WWE belt, and right now as things stand, I truly think we are in for a long run with Orton. Bottom line is while it hasn't been the best heel title reign in the past few years, Orton has really settled in, and now that he's survived the curse of WrestleMania keeping the belt, I see no reason to rush it on Triple H or John Cena right now.
Anonymous: Regal will resign as GM, and will be replaced by Shane McMahon
Me: This is an interesting rumor that has gained some steam throughout the day, but right now, I just don't see it. Shane was on TV a bit in the Mayweather-Big Show angle, but that was more as the WWE official for the angle, and he didn't really have much of a presence as we've seen in the past. Shane enjoys his duties behind the scenes, and while he does like being on TV once in awhile, I don't see him taking over as GM. No decision to the best of my knowledge has been made as of yet as to what they will do with the GM spot on RAW, if anything at all.
The Impaler: Matt do you really think Regal has the in ring ability to carry the KOR?
Me: No doubt. While Regal is not Jeff Hardy or Rey Mysterio, he is a great shoot wrestler that has proven time and time again to have very good matches. He is very good in a mid-card role, and if the company keeps him in those angles, this can and I think will - work.
