Rehabilitated Rick 1,771 Posted November 8, 2018 Could say the same about Brian Kendrick or Paul London. I think all of those guys had a hand in changing the landscape in what has become the modern WWE. Without that initial spark from that crop of guys Punk & Bryan could never have changed the business in the way that they did, especially at the top of the card. Punk was lucky in a sense that he had Heyman chewing agents ears off and going to bat for him against the majority that thought he would never amount to shit. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxB 6,143 Posted November 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Rick said: Didn't Book kick Batista's ass? The Booker man isn't to be fucked with it seems. Not exactly. When Booker was drafted from Raw to Smackdown with RVD, he turned heel immediately by complaining it was like being sent to the minor leagues. A Year later Batista was drafted to Smackdown and started saying the exact same thing, only back stage and for reals. Booker took exception to that and it got physical, only Batista was trying to do Muay Thai knees from the clinch, but he had ahold of Booker's dreads and was hitting him on the elbows, not the face. Then it was broken up and nothing else happened since, except Dave fought in MMA since and Book never has. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattdangerously 6,170 Posted November 8, 2018 Mike Jackson just started shopping where I work. I wonder how many times he has to come in before it's appropriate for me to ask him how it felt to kick CM Punk's ass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overrated is definitely the word for it. This guy? Overrated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask him how it felt to know he could have kicked CM Punk's ass, if he only could have been bothered to exchange or actually make an effort. Ask him what it's like to have Dana White describe you as a fucking idiot, and fire you. 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be really stupid for someone who beats people up professionally to beat up a fan for asking him a question, admittedly a question that is baiting him. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan 4,971 Posted November 9, 2018 I've been looking for the video of CM Punk being an unathletic dork in the Liger workouts from his Shoot. It amused me greatly. The morons commenting on how he's "working" being shitty at it amuse me. "He was the head trainer at the ROH school!" Yes, and they were all horrible and fell out of the business.
