Questions for the blog
By Scott Keith on January 16, 2013
Hey scott love your stuff and you've answered my questions before so hopefully you can help me out with this stuff
1. A lot of guys work stiff in the ring, in your opinion who is the stiffest worker of all time?
The guys back in the old days were so stiff that they make Davey Richards look like El Gigante. Especially the "policemen" that promoters would keep around to make sure people knew who the boss was. In the modern era, probably someone like Vader at his worst in WCW would probably take the prize, although various Japanese tough guys would beat the hell out of each other for fun.
2. I was just reading a piece by you and you mentioned that the WWE was really interested in only Perry Saturn and didn't care either way wether they got the other 3, my question is, had they ever watched WCW before? Benoit, Malenko and Gurerro were clearly all better workers and while only Eddie was a decent mic worker it's not like saturn ever cut a decent promo or was an outstanding worker other than his ECW days from what I remember. Who in WWE wanted him so bad? It's like looking at The Beatles and coveting Ringo Starr.
I dunno, WWE has weird qualifications for what they consider to be a star look sometimes. Benoit, Guerrero and Malenko are all much smaller guys so it's almost understandable that they'd look at Saturn compared to them and see a bigger star. It's not like they didn't know who the others were or anything, but they just didn't see any value in them.
3. Do you feel that we have a legitimate chance of seeing Stone Cold Steve Austin return to the ring? If so, other than the obvious choice CM Punk, what superstar could you see him working a program with?
No chance. Austin still makes "fuck you money" every year off royalties and merchandising, and there's zero chance he's coming back. He's happy making shitty movies and doing whatever he does in the jungle with his truck and gun collection.
4. Of your books, which do you feel is your best?
Tonight…In This Very Ring sold the most by far, so we'll say that one.
