Seriously, Punk left the WWE 'cuz he had to put over that newcomer Rocky-something, right?
Uncle Paul, say it ain't so!

This all seems very reasonable and I get where Punk was coming from. I would like to see Punk come back, yeah. But if Punk is happier doing what he's doing now, it's better he just stays away. I don't want to see him get burnt out and rack up the injuries just for my entertainment. Hopefully he can come back and be happy and healthy wrestling again in the future. If not I have The Network and a few ROH Best of Punk DVDs.
ReplyDeleteThis thread just won't feel the same without Farva pointing out how wrong we all are and that Punk is a crybaby.
ReplyDeleteMuch like Nikita Koloff stepped in for Magnum TA in the Crockett Cup tournament, I'll do the honors....Punk is a crybaby.
ReplyDeleteThis is ancient news from an old Chris Jericho podcast. Or is AJ still rumored to be pregnant?
ReplyDeleteLeave the Bayless stuff to Bayless.
Heart Attack Killed The Ultimate Warrior!
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan has neck inury, may miss Payback.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. He's financially secure, seems to be pretty physically healthy, married, and could come back whenever he wants. I'd say that's a pretty great life.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cens and Nikki Bella are dating!!!
ReplyDeleteCM Punk is basically the antithesis of Randy the Ram or Ric Flair.
ReplyDeleteHe should have said, "My former client, CM Punk, did not conquer the Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. And then he left."
ReplyDeleteWWE in budget cuts, more may be fired.
ReplyDeleteFor any athlete, I would rather see them leave early than too late. It's depressing seeing the old timers of any sport who can barely walk or talk. With all the wrestlers who die so young or are broke in their old age, anytime one leaves with their health mostly intact and with lots of money, good for them.
ReplyDeletePETULANT baby. Aw I miss Farva.
ReplyDeleteFORMER SUPERSTAR HULK HOGAN...BACK IN WWE??
ReplyDeleteHe will live on through me. No worries.
ReplyDeleteI hope Bryan makes the same decision.
ReplyDeletePretty much. Unless he starts to get the itch again, why not retire with a ton of money and your health intact? Especially since he's still young enough to enjoy it, and AJ's -
ReplyDelete*PLEASE STAND BY*
CM Punk shocks fans with RAW return; uses "Cult of Personality" as new entrance music.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteDo you think The Ram died after he hit the Ram Jam?
ReplyDeleteHonda Toyota
ReplyDeleteGood point. But I still think he can get over with the right push. Sometimes a wrestler can get over on being a straight up legit ass kicker. And KENTA has that going for him.
ReplyDeleteI can't watch. I'm busy.
ReplyDeleteEvening all. Half assed watching er, half assed playing WWE 14.
ReplyDeleteThen stay tune for Halls recap.
ReplyDeleteEvening, half watching half on the tread.
ReplyDeleteEvening everyone, miss anything exciting today?
ReplyDeleteExactly. I want a payoff to why I'm watching. For me, Bryan-Triple H may even be my match of the year at the moment because of everything it had going for it.
ReplyDelete*Hot crowd
*A viable reason for happening
*Something important at stake
*Paying off long term watching by delivering the hero's biggest moment (moments when you count the title win) at the biggest show of the year in wrestling.
I was in bus going to home and some crazy old lady started to talk about how the end of the world is coming.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, an annual 2 year tradition to some.
ReplyDeleteWithout a timeline from her, I can't necessarily say she's wrong
ReplyDeleteUgh...week 3 of tapings. I see this schedule is shooting em in the foot more and more.
ReplyDeleteDue to my religion, I can't say she's wrong either.
ReplyDeleteWe need to kill the homossexual plague according to her.
ReplyDeleteDidn't work for WCW in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the guy that screwed Bret.
ReplyDeleteYay corrupt ref is back! Yay! No more crying kid Hebner!
ReplyDelete*Top 5 Handshake*
ReplyDeleteGreatest ref? That would be Tommy Young, Kurt.
ReplyDeleteOk then, her first.
ReplyDeleteRemember kids, according to quack therapists, hatred of something indicates you're usually a part of it!
Menagerie vs Wolves
ReplyDeleteSMELL THE RATINGS!!!
A-friggin'-men!
ReplyDelete"THe Knockouts will be busy tonight..."
ReplyDelete[Beavis and Buthead] huh-huh, huh-huh [/Beavis and Buthead]
I'll pop in after Celta does the job to Barcelona in my FM14 game.
ReplyDelete:top 5 handshake:
ReplyDeleteI think I will.
ReplyDeleteThat one fan chanting for EY....
ReplyDeleteLol.
It's a plant.
ReplyDeleteIf that knee is headled... and you're still unde rcontract Kurt.
ReplyDeleteNo amount of money would make me an EY plant.
ReplyDeleteThat was probably EY.
ReplyDeleteBURN!!!!
ReplyDeleteRemember when Angle head butted Joe and how it was an awesome moment?
ReplyDeleteI miss Joe,not this fat parody.
ReplyDeleteOUr 6 man ladder match > TNA talky talky.
ReplyDeleteJoe is passionate.
ReplyDeleteDo Angle is Austin and Joe is Kane?
ReplyDeleteFaces are SOooooooooo stupid.
ReplyDeleteBobby Roode - Gullible babyface...
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't see King Bobby?
ReplyDeleteThis week on 'America's funniest home videos'...
ReplyDeleteAustin was a rare breed of face,a smart one.
ReplyDeleteYou want a fight?!
ReplyDeleteTNA=SNL
ReplyDeleteWWE=stupid soap opera.
Well I guess their fans are supposed to relate to the faces...
ReplyDeleteOh tag!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I enjoy TNA, for the unintentional laughs.
ReplyDeleteNJPW=Wrestling company
ReplyDeletePWG=Wrestling with some bits of comedy.
NJPW= a real wrestling company.
ReplyDeleteWatch it as a reality show where a crazy lady runs a wrestling promotion. Makes FAR more sense.
ReplyDeleteLike I always say, they could have put the TV title on Joe and let him go berzerk through the midcard. But nnnnnnnnnnnoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo....He's gonna meander aimlessly for 6 months at a time.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea.
ReplyDelete"When I was young I wanted to blast dem commie pinkos out da sky."
ReplyDeleteHas it's flaws,but it's by far the best company today.
ReplyDeleteAbyss is on a roll with the title.
ReplyDeleteMore often today people are getting over for being awesome wrestlers. How many fantastic promos has Cesaro cut? How much character has he been given? He's mainly gotten over because he's been cranking out awesome matches.
ReplyDeleteDolph Ziggler is still somewhat relevant because he has great matches.
I think Kenta can succeed in WWE in today's landscape. Let him go out there and have great matches and I think he can gain some traction.
They sell Eric Young beards?
ReplyDeleteIs it simple to book a MONSTER?
ReplyDeleteJust look at NJPW's Fale,he's not great but he's over because they made him a monster if he hits the Razor's edge,it's done,you're dead.
HHH/Bryan to me would have been a lot better condensed into a 12 minute match. Like that girlfriend that has a good point, but has to tell you about her day at work first, it just didn't get to where it needed to be in the proper amount of time. Great pop at the end and all that, but to me that's a different category ("pops/moments/angles").
ReplyDeleteStrong/Styles on the other hand had two better athletes running at each other 100mph, kicking each other in the face, and a finish we all still remember 6 months later, despite being just a TV match.
They're both **** to me.
PWG would rule this list, but with only 3 shows so far there's only a handful of matches that make the list. BOLA should have quite the impression on this list by the end of the year, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteThere's been so many death matches this year with tons of gore and blood that were just kind of there as a match, but this one actually had a lot of passion and was a good, solid **** tag match. Hoshino's rise to a title shot was a ton of fun. Plus it led to an ever better match on the next show.
ReplyDeleteBut agreed that some of it gets numb by the end. It would be higher on the list if it didn't hit that plateau, cuz this match was just full of great shit.
Not tripping if people choose to spend their time "torching" others, that's not my lane. If people want clarification, like why a **** big Mania moment isn't as high on my list as a fantastic ****1/4 tag match on a b-show, I'm more than happy to break down the science on that. Whether folks think I'm a dick or not, eh, never been worried about all that.
ReplyDelete"I'm more than happy to break down the science on that."
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure most of your grievances are going to come down to what we see as you nitpicking.
Were any of those other wrestlers people that fans bought tickets to see?
ReplyDeleteI'm not just being a goof here - jobbers gonna job (and complain)
And sometimes old talent doesn't like working with a new style...
... but sometimes the new guy *is* a hazard to himself and others.
But I never saw RVD as a particularly unsafe worker.
"Were any of those other wrestlers people that fans bought tickets to see?"
ReplyDeleteKurt Angle was a pretty famous vocal complainer about RVD's style actually - that was where a lot of the problems stemmed from.
Ironically I recall the other guy who complained a lot about RVD was...dum dum dum...Jericho. Paging comdukasis...;)
But seriously, who are you? You just one day started posting stuff here.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Lobster!
ReplyDeleteSame with me.
ReplyDeleteI disagree completely. Triple H v. D-Bry really cannot work as a sprint 12-minute match. It would really go against the story of the match and feud being told at this point.
ReplyDeleteTriple H was perfect in that match and really did a great job of putting D-Bry over. Even Stephanie was awesome. To me, it's one of those matches that is what pro wrestling is when it's worked to perfection.
Been along for the ride here for over a decade, since 411 had a black background, and the days of TheSmarks and all that. Scott figured that it'd be easier for me to just post my own shit, instead of running them through his name as bold font "questions" and "comments".. Basically I'm the one who used to send in MOTD all the time a while back.
ReplyDeleteWin man, win.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been around for a while. 411's black background!
ReplyDeleteVince has to have seen that.
ReplyDeleteI mean hey, it's a good match. It's on the list. I went ****. TNA hasn't hit **** all year, closest thing was Aries/Senada from 3/2/14.
ReplyDeleteKerry Von Erich won the IC title 10 days after he debuted, and look at him now...
ReplyDeleteTeri Yakimoto
ReplyDeleteCue the Orient Express music!
ReplyDeleteWere there any other candidates when Kerry got the belt? Beefcake was legit hurt before that show, but was there anyone other than the Tornado who could've been plugged in as a credible winner?
ReplyDeleteHey now! Yokozuna!........
ReplyDelete(Kidding, he was Polynesian)
Steen? He hasn't gone yet.
ReplyDeleteI would hope so.
