LooseCannon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The Chicago crowd will be so nuts, that I think they should just book matches and finishes to troll the crowd. The goal should be for HHH to induce a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The fact that Reigns, Langston, and Cesaro are all being primed for babyface pushes right now (but obviously can't all get them at the same time) is EXACTLY why we need the brand split back. Langston isn't being primed for anything. The fact that he dropped the fall in a match that involved Kofi Kingston and Rey Misterio speaks volumes. And was he even on Raw last night?

cool arrow Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 In any case, lack of babyfaces is not the pressing problem right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's one of the best aspects of Punk the performer. He is able to draw importance out of ideas like "home field advantage" and what not. Punk/Cena is obviously the best example of this, but he was doing it way back when in ROH with Samoa Joe and Jimmy Rave etc etc. RVD/Cena at One Night Stand bro.

_MJ_ Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Why does the Authority keep cutting the same "wag their finger" at Orton promos like disappointed parents? They need a clearer mission statement. What's their motivation again? I do like that Rey Misterio is basically The Shield's and Wyatt's rag doll each week. Misterio earning his checks.

TheVileOne Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The brand split only works if you are going to have two different brands and actually enforce it and keep a different set of superstars on each show. Also, I think I think the problem with the brand split was that whenever one product was really hot and on fire, the other was Wrestlecap. From 2002-2003, Smackdown was the hot brand. Then about 2004-2005, it switched over to Raw being good and Smackdown was garbage for quite some time. Smackdown I recall improving a lot around 2006-ish. But around 2007 is when the brand split basically became pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I still don't understand the logic behind CM Punk chants hijacking an event. The "DAN-IEL BRY-AN!" and "YES" chants I understand because they have to do with booking, etc. Do we even know why CM Punk left? It's all speculation. For all we know it could be a money dispute over PPV payouts and The Network. It could be because he's injured or tired. The chants imply that he has been wronged. In what way has WWE wronged him? We don't know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 There's the idea that they screwed up his push by Kevin Nashing him or something? Or that he should be in the main event instead of Batista? Or just that people really want to see CM Punk and they're letting everyone, including him, know. Your empathy lacks, man.

sydneybrown Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I just take it as "We would rather see CM Punk than whatever it is you are showing us now." It's no different than them doing "Hogan," "Undertaker," or "Randy Savage" chants. You make it sound like they are doing "You screwed Bret" chants.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 They were chanting it during a Henry and Ambrose match. You are going to co-sign that?
