  1. They could sign him and then go the Danielson route and change his name to Stylish Alan. Tell me you wouldn't want to see him work whatever that gimmick would be.

  2. All of this Austin Punk Fantasy booking is missing the critical aspect of Punk pouring Pepsi all over a prone Austin to end Raw.

  3. You need to stop projecting yoru own feelings about Punk onto other people, as it is clear that he's one of the most popular guys in wrestling, and has been for the last half decade or so. You might think that he is a whiny asshole who relies too much on shooty comments, and you might be right about that, but the perception a whole bunch of people have of him is obviously very different. People can obviously relate to him in a very real, non-manufactured way, and it's pretty clear why that is.

  5. I think Kyle is worse than Davey. It's like a copy of a copy. I was at Davey/Shingo from a few years back and I fucking loved it. I haven't watched it since to see if it held up, but I was flipping out. Then I watched Davey wrestled Mochizuki, and he tried to do the EXACT same match with a guy who was completely different, and it felt like bullshit. Then I watched a little more and it felt like no matter who he was wrestling he'd try to shoehorn him into the same style of match. The Davey Mystique disappeared for me really quickly. The next good match I watched him in was against Colt Cabana. It was really toned down, no overkill and sold a flash KO quite brilliantly. So I truly think that if he's with somebody to tone him down he can be...adequate, I guess. I don't see him elevating to a Punk/Bryan position or even a Cesaro spot, but that's probably more because of his personality. I like matches where everything matters, and for me a lot of Davey's work is a pretty simplistic story of two supermen going until they die, just bombing each other with crazy stunts and combos. Sometimes I like that, when done right, but more often than not I feel like the match isn't for me. Like they won't leave me alone until they run through all their shit. DON'T WALK AWAY IT'S TIME FOR THE FALCON ARROW NEAR FALL! JAE WE JUST STARTED. C'MON WE GOT 30 MORE MINUTES OF THESE PLANNED. FINE WE'RE GONNA JUST KEEP GOING. SOMEONE SAY THIS IS AWESOME SO JAE FEELS LEFT OUT.

People can obviously relate to him in a very real, non-manufactured way, and it's pretty clear why that is. Just because a guy is a multi time world champion, beaten John Cena, worked two main events with the Rock, worked Wrestlemania against the Undertaker, sells a ton of merchandise and is the most popular wrestler at live events does not mean he is successful.

  13. And 95% of those matches are non-title, correct? Every time Reigns wins he holds up the strap but Ambrose says, "The Contract clearly states that the title wasn't on the line!" This happens half a dozen times. Ambrose, then reveals Reigns ONE WEAKNESS. Literacy.

  18. Plain ol' Crush was great, Heel Crush in the Savage feud was great. That 4-5 month period where he was Kona Crush and he suddenly had an over-the-top island accent and only talked about Hawaii (unless he was mentioning his clown dad) was pretty terrible.

  20. That spot, done "correctly" or not is remarkably stupid and business-exposing. For me, who thinks about moves in terms of "babyfaces" and "heels", it seems like trying to kill someone isn't something you do when playing babyface or in a babyface v. babyface type match. That double stop is something that should only be used by heels to kickstart or end a feud. Think Macho Man hitting Steamboat with the bell type-stuff. The scary part is that I probably thought more about the context of that move than Davy ever has.

  21. This is a serious discussion obviously and I don't mean to make light of it (especially because I have had depression issues before) but there's gotta be some kind of punch line to FSW saying "I have no mental health issues"..... Right????

  25. And then the next night he gives Dean Ambrose the thumbs down and challenges HIM for the US title at Wrestlemania. They then trade wins with each other every week leading to Mania and then 6 months after.

  27. They could sign him and then go the Danielson route and change his name to Stylish Alan. Tell me you wouldn't want to see him work whatever that gimmick would be. I'd want to see Stylish Alan be based on Ben Affleck's character from Mallrats, Shannon Hamilton. The hilarity that would ensue from Alan trying to penetrate the divas in a very uncomfortable position; like the back of a Volkswagon.

  28. That double stomp is just a perfect example of dangerous, reckless, middle of the match spot for no reason except MOVEZ BRO. There 's no way to hit it and land well himself (as evidenced by his double flop to the floor), and he's doing the move at a weird angle while heading toward his opponent lengthwise, which means if he's off at all, he spikes Elgin's head or throat. And it's not even a near-fall. It looks good enough, but what's the point of doing something that runs a much-higher-than-normal risk of hurting you or your opponent when you're going to do twenty other equally stupid/hurty things before you get to the finish anyway? Davey in a nutshell, to me.

  29. Because he has chosen not to wrestle. Anytime he has appeared he has blown the roof off the place. Do you even read what you are writing?

  30. The reason is because John Cena was healthy. The same reason Hulk Hogan was main eventing when Randy Savage and Warrior were champion. Main eventing two pay per views with Rock, working Mania against Undertaker and being champion for a year. In addition to being the most popular wrestler on the roster. Clearly an underachiever.

  31. Was thinking about this the other day. Has anyone ever blocked the kick-wham-aspect to the Stunner? Seemingly everyone is unaware that this is what will happen despite him doing it every week for about 10 years. Even during his last heel run, I don't think anyone ever really out smarted him with that. Have Austin run down and save Punk from an attack from the Shield or the Wyatts or something (that pop would be insane), then after the match, have Punk decline to partake in the Stone Cold beer bash, sees the kick to the gut coming. GTS. End of RAW. It's consistent with Punk being this wily smarter than your average wrestler type, and then you work the story around no-one ever having done that to Austin, has he finally met his match, is he past it? etc..

  32. I know it will shock some people on the interwebs, but CM Punk is a dick. Not matter what role they will give him, he can't be arsed to take the effort to get his head out of his ass. THAT is why he never main event'd shit during that epoch reign. THAT is why he will never reach a certain point of popularity or talent. If Bret screwed Bret, then Punk held Punk down.

  34. I've been confused about the hysteria over the "need" for a Sting vs Taker match. But the Austin vs Punk thing tops that. Do people really want Punk to be even more overexposed as just a regular mid-card talent that gets way too much TV time? I mean, if that was remotely possible at this point.
