ReplyDeleteSo maybe a chance for a Summerslam return, but it doesn't look likely. I'd hope if he does come back they'd put him with Hunter or someone, the last thing they need is a guy with recent neck issues in the ring with the slug that can't protect a soul, Brock Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteWell this ends his one and only time holding the title. I think him and Ziggler will have some good matches on superstars.
ReplyDeleteWhatever they do, I hope it's not a battle royal. Those are so lame. When Kurt Angle won after Batista had to vacate. And especially when Khali won after Edge had to vacate.
ReplyDeleteThis is his 4th World Championship...
ReplyDeleteOne word : BATTLEBOWL!
ReplyDeletetournamenttournamenttournamenttournamenttournament
ReplyDeleteBattlebowl is a *kind* of tournament!
ReplyDeleteKarate Fighters Tournament
ReplyDeleteSo here's where they get the belt...title...strap...CHAMPIONSHIP onto either HHH or Brock, and build to SS. Works out well.
ReplyDeleteWWE just announced the NBC deal. Didn't release any numbers and it sounds like Smackdown is staying on Fridays.
ReplyDeleteThis one has purple stuff inside. Purple is a fruit.
ReplyDeleteJust like Batista getting boo'd was a one time thing?
ReplyDeleteI'd mark the fuck out for BattleBowl.
ReplyDeleteWacky Tag Teams!
ReplyDeleteLORD OF THE MUTHAFUCKIN' RING! WHAT BITCH!
ReplyDeleteAs far as anti-snark gimmicks go, Stevie is wrong most of the time and makes terrible predictions but his fighting spirit and never quit attitude makes him my favorite
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame he was banned so I can't quote bomb him.
ReplyDeleteThey'd need to have Sting win it.
ReplyDeleteI am pro-Stennick
ReplyDeleteWorld War 3. For the 5th time. Once in a Lifetime. End of an Era.
ReplyDelete60 men, three rings.
ReplyDeleteMy money is on Yoshi Tatsu as the first eliminated
aka gratuitous slow motion cleavage shots on Sable and Sunny.
ReplyDeleteIt just wouldn't be the same without Lee Marshall calling it.
ReplyDeleteI was saying boo-tista.
ReplyDeleteThe Angle battle royal is probably the greatest royal ever and legit 4 stars. Shut your whore mouth.
ReplyDeleteI live like 5 minutes away from where they probably did the surgery. I should go over there and see if I can find him.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't remember the quality of the battle royals, just mentioning that crowning your world champion in a battle royal is lame.
ReplyDeleteFuck no.
ReplyDeleteWhy should random tag matches determine who the best singles wrestler in the world is?
It's because of people like *you* that CM Punk can't live a normal life!
ReplyDelete*cries hysterically*

I also support the ment of tourney.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, I know exactly where that is. Same place where I had my surgery a few months ago. Every room looks the same so no idea what room he is in.
ReplyDeleteCommercails wit Santino dressed as Golum. Yay.
ReplyDeleteAny wrestler that can't cope with a randomly assigned wacky tag team partner isn't fit to wear the world title.

ReplyDeleteThat's good hospital knowledge. I don't think I could pick out my local hospital (then again you were in there recently & I haven't been in there in years)
ReplyDeleteThe dumb thing about that battle royal was it was just a week or two before the rumble.
ReplyDeleteWhy not hold the title up and do the rumble for the belt (seriously, why is 92 the only time they've done this?)
Exactly. I bet HHH & Cena weren't on the ward with the ham & eggers.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think it's weird to see "first reported in the Wrestling Observer" in all the financial reports about the new TV deal?
ReplyDeleteSomeone said they doubled the rates, so holy shit if that's true.
Yeah I'm right about as much as Meltzer (Sheamus has been turning heel since he returned half a year ago. Keep reporting Dave sooner or later you'll get it right.) Anyway for those of you that care (all of you) Cesero will not be main eventing at all. No Brock program no Wrestlemania main event against Daniel Bryan that some of you were laughably predicting. My other one is Bryan is done in the main event he was given a token reign to shut people up. Seriously he got the Chris Benoit token reign he won't be main eventing another pay per view this year. What I'll find most enjoyable is watching the IWC melt down when Cesero is de pushed and Bryan is taken out of the main event. The sadness and rage of the IWC brings a smile to my face. On a side note Andy PM and Bayless are atleast reasonable and ar e not near the annoying, apologetic smark fan boys 99 percent of you are.
ReplyDeleteMeltzer joked about that today in his radio show
ReplyDeleteI am a hockey fan and Punk in a Blackhawks jersey sticks out like a sore thumb
ReplyDeleteWhat you say possibly has a lot of truth to it, but you say it in such a totally fucking obnoxious way that no one would ever care.
ReplyDeleteIn Variety, they said the rates were doubled.
ReplyDeleteHe's apparently going to be singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley soon, too.
ReplyDeleteYour tears are soooooo tasty.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way they could return the belt to Abeyance after he expressed his controversial views regarding people of Asian descent.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of an idea I had. Let's say Seth Rollins wins MITB. Dean wins the title in fall. Reigns win Royal Rumble. Reigns vs Ambrose at Mania, Seth announces he is cashing in making a triple threat.
ReplyDeleteProbably too soon to do it this year but that main event would kick ass.
Sounds like it went well, at least.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, this whole thing only contributes to his popularity (a feud with Kane definitely wasn't) and there's a readymade "I never lost the belt" angle when he returns.
Can't say I'll be watching much WWE until then. I barely watched a third of Raw when he was on it.
Needs more Triple H.
ReplyDeleteWow, I read almost every thread and I've never been aware of you until now.
ReplyDeleteI think that you're wrong on Bryan, if only because I don't see anyone else stepping up so strongly that there won't be room for Bryan to trade the title onto from time to time.
Cesaro, you may be right about. Pity though, he's a good hand and a decent size.
You are sort of an asshole though.
"Punk is average or slightly above."
ReplyDeletelololololol
Wacky tag teams are one of my most hated tropes in all of wrestling.
ReplyDeleteMeltzer wad saying how industry insiders think that even doubling the rights fees might not keep the stock prices up. Some were predicting that they could get triple
ReplyDeleteI am the 1%
ReplyDeleteFIrst of all I was talking about Darren Young who is not his real brother so it was a joke. Second of all I made the distinction because Cena DOES (oops I capitalized a word again) have a brother that is openly gay. Lastly if you can't recognize sarcasm when you see it then you are the pathetic one and you need to take your dumb ass off the internet. People like you constantly reach for something that isn't there annoy the shit out of me.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted Eugene to trick a face IC champ into letting him wear a helmet during a title match for 'safety', KO the face with headbutts and cut a nasty promo that used the word 'retard' a lot as well as the hand movement grade school losers used to mock the disabled. HEAT.
ReplyDeleteI read nothing of the recap or the comments yet, but I read that WWE booked Eugene as a parody of how Vince/HHH viewed Ric Flair. The "my favorite wrestler is the game" shit is example 1A.
ReplyDeleteNo idea if it's true but it's funny
He's taking a jab at you. Don't thank him!! Sometimes I wonder about you abeyance1
ReplyDeleteI know he was taking a jab at me, but am I suppose to have a meltdown?
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't.
ReplyDeleteSometimes he'd shit in his own gym bag.
ReplyDeleteCultStatus?
ReplyDelete"Hide the strudel". Awesome sauce
ReplyDeleteDidn't even have to click and knew what it was. You're correct: never not funny
ReplyDeleteWait...what? I never heard the Jericho/thigh/pants story.
ReplyDeleteJericho was walking back past gorilla after a match, and Vince said something along the lines of, "Pal, why have you been hiding those magnificent legs of yours in pants your entire career?"
ReplyDeleteThree weeks later he was thrown into the Scramble Match and made the World Champion.
Also... just found a Miz story in the same vein...
"So I go out there, win my match, win my contract on Raw back, and I figure I'm going to go back to my shorts the next week. But walking back from the ring, Vince McMahon stops me and says, 'You look great in trunks, kid. You've got great legs. You should be wearing trunks.' I'm like, but I don't like the trunks. I want to look different. I want to stand out. And he said to me, 'You already stand out enough. Now we're going to make you serious.' I really didn't want to do it, but when Vince McMahon comes up to you and tells you that you have great legs and that you need to be wearing trunks, well, you're wearing trunks," Miz told ESPN.com's Jon Robinson.
I guess if you're in the business of promoting guys like this, I could see Vinces point...
ReplyDeleteOr I may be trying to rationalize Vinces strange homoerotic leg obsession of
