yea i kinda wondered where some wrestlers would be in a diffrent era... i think they would work, but i think HBK would some how have to change his gimmick just because i dont think his old school pretty boy thing would work in todays WWE PG ERA. And i also think Brett heart would have to get better at his mic skills, because i heard him talk and the first thing i said was, O WOW... because hes way to corny and hes always messing up his words.. but yea i think all they would need are little adjustments, and they would work.
I was just watchin some matches of HBK and the hitman of this period and it gotme thinking could these 2 fit in with the PG era were in today or would they be lost in the mid card?
They will easily fit in the main event today.
Both kids and mature wrestling fans buy into submission, technical and high-flying specialists.
Daniel Bryan or Rachel Steamboat can be easily turned into today's Bret Hart. I say put the WWE Title on them, turn them face and ask them to put on 3-4 start matches every week and give them a simple no non-sense gimmick like Bret Hart. Fans will buy into it just to see some action and a mature technical specialist wrestler.
CM Punk, Edge and John Morrison are close to modern HBK, two of them are already main-eventers while Morrison can easily become a popular main eventer too.
If you asked me about wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Sgt. Slaughter and Ultimate Warrior would fit in today's modern WWE main event, then I would say 'it's complicated'. Providing they were mostly about gimmicks and few major moves that got them over.
I'm not too sure about that. What got Stone Cold & The Rock over was the fact that they weren't PG wrestlers.
That's what got guys like Val Venus, Godfather, Billy Gunn and others like that over. Austin and Rock fall into that Bret/Shawn mold. The only difference being we got to see both Bret and Shawn in 2 era's while Austin and Rock were only in one. However, Austin and Rock we both good in the ring, better on the mic and had unreal levels of charisma. Sure there characters would have to be tammed, but they have enough ability to make it work with the right push behind it.
I'm not too sure about that. What got Stone Cold & The Rock over was the fact that they weren't PG wrestlers.
What got Austin and the Rock over was the fact that they were entertaining.
Take away the swearing, Austin's beer and the Rock's innuendo... and there was still so much more to both of them that those same characters get over in any environment.
