Ziggy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Would be amazing if Brock ran in during Punk's first fight in order to setup a Punk v Brock match at Mania. only if Brian Pillman comes from under the Octagon and grabs the mic from Buffer and refers to Dana White as Mr Bookerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding out that this whole thing was a work in order to get more eyes on WWE would be incredible. The best part of this scenario would be Punk vs. Lesnar going on second to last just so Vince can remind Punk who is really in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon man, Bristol Marunde has a family to feed. Just like WWE, he doesn't mind them as long as the full-timer goes over. Which is why he'll be taking the dive in all his matches.... Yeah..... A dive *cough, cough*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Man...if you guys haven't watched the CM Punk Best in the World documentary in awhile, now is the time. It watched it last night and it was so strange. The bit at the beginning, and the bits with Joey Mercury make me wonder if Punk even remembers that, or if WWE just beat it out of him and he realized that he was a fool to think he could create change. Also, and I think it's in the pipe bomb promo, but he speaks about grabbing so many of Vince's imaginary brass rings that he doesn't know what else to do. What I'm gathering is that Vince just loves to throw around the brass ring thing and it's just bullshit. They're going to push whoever they want and how they want. If Vince's metaphorical brass ring were real, then like others said, so many would get pushed over dudes just coasting along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I think the "grab the brass ring" thing is more true when Vince is desperate. Austin is kind of the best example of forcing Vince to push someone because they got over on their own. "Austin 3:16" was a completely organic moment.

greenbat Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 But if that happened today would a group of producers and writers tell Austin to drop the whole "316" thing and confiscate signs because "we don't want him up there yet"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Had fun at both indy shows this weekend...they both had strong main events in completely different ways. St. Louis Anarchy had TEH WERKRATEZ~! as champion Gerald James(aka Gary Jay/Gary The Barnowl) and Davey Vega fought to a 60-minute draw. Dynamo had a solid face vs. heel situation and a VERY pro-underdog crowd as rookie Mike Outlaw upset veteran champion Ricky Cruz to win the title; the atmosphere was off the charts and it was a ballsy move to put the title on a new guy like that. Fun times. (feeling the need to post something positive for some reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often did Austin mention "3:16" immediately after the promo? From what I remember, the fans kind of took it and run with it. Given how the WWF pushed Austin immediately after KOTR, it's not immediately clear that even they understood the significance of it. What was the story behind Bret working with Austin? Did it seem weird for Austin to go from working a declining Yokozuna on the SummerSlam Free for All to suddenly feuding with Bret Hart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJ Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 While you can certainly understand Punks argument that they were never going to make him "the guy", they did push/protect him post-pipebomb. You can make the argument that there has been change in the WWE the past few years. You're always going to have a Roman Reigns type who the office is behind, but WWE has gone out of there way to look at the independent scene and be more open-minded about what a wrestler should look like. If you told anyone on this board three years back that WWE would have signed and is now hyping the debut of Kevin Steen, you would have been laughed and mocked. It's hard to remember just how different the mindset was back then. We must also remember, that even though it feels like its all Cena all the time I don't think that was the plan for the year. In late 13/early 14, Cena was routinely giving that speech about being the veteran around a bunch of hungry young stars. He was trying to elevate Cesaro/Rollins/Wyatt. He did not go on close to last at Mania. Bryan was likely to be positioned at the center of the promotion. Then some things happened (Punk leaving, Bryan injury, Reigns injury) that left the main event so devoid of face talent that WWE had little choice but to go back their comfort zone and center everything around Cena.
