Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (I didn't make the statement) But I think the comment is relative. Giants and super muscular dudes aren't the same. Guys like Cena, Michaels, Hart, Hunter, Rock, Austin are more athletic than Punk. They're all top guys too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Quick aside since I haven't seen it specifically mentioned here: the National Pro Wrestling Day show will be streaming live, free, on YouTube, this Saturday at 1 pm eastern. Could potentially mark the return of Chikara. http://nationalprowrestlingday.com/ Speaking of, anyone confirmed the rumored chikara sale? It was a status update on the Barridoff Galleries facebook page that has now been deleted. It said something like "Chikara acquired from Titor. A different kind of art, but art nonetheless." Titor is a fictional company, and Barridoff Galleries are owned by Robbie Ellis, a wrestler who's worked for Chikara, so I got the impression that it was all just storyline. Chikara is no longer under Titor's thumb, so now they can start doing shows again. In theory. And 3.0 has finally found Archibald Peck, so it looks like it climaxes this weekend.

JRGoldman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm not the biggest fan of Punk's elbow drop, but I think it is pretty clear he keeps using not to troll people, but because it is really over and gets a huge pop every time he does it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Reby was always a sweet gal the few times I've met her. Never expected that she'd kick the shit out of a dude(but it IS a Hardy, so I'm not shocked she can). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 A lot of guys who have been unathletic have gotten crazy over. Jake "The Snake" Roberts isn't some athletic freak. Mick Foley's a slob. There have been a ton of big guys back in the day like Dick Murdoch who were huge stars. Eddie Gilbert isn't some athletic tour de force. Neither were the Rock'n'Roll Express. The Andersons were both pudgy ass dudes. Or probably 5,000,000 other guys, since I'm just rambling off the top of my head.But all of those guys knew how to work a crowd and tell a story. I thought we were all at the point when we realized that was way more important than anything else? Punk has that in spades. He's one of the best in recent years in knowing the psychology part of stuff. He's had so many great matches with so many different opponents. How come all of a sudden everyone hates on him? Punk's stuff against Lesnar was terrific.The aforementioned Titus O'Neal is a legitimate athlete. He played D-1 football and has crazy athleticism and a main event body. But guess what? Aside from his frat hand gesture thing, the dude doesn't connect at all. He doesn't know how to make his stuff work from spot-to-spot. I'm not slagging on him because I like that dude a lot but he's a pro-level athlete but doesn't click. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You have to give it to both Hardy's for keeping the tradition of old school pro wrestling alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (I didn't make the statement) But I think the comment is relative. Giants and super muscular dudes aren't the same. Guys like Cena, Michaels, Hart, Hunter, Rock, Austin are more athletic than Punk. They're all top guys too. I said Bryan, not Punk, who isn't the best athlete, but being super athletic isn't really all that integral to what Punk does any way. The Rock and Jeff Hardy are both guys who could rival Bryan in the athletism department, but you don't have to be an exceptional athlete to be a great pro wrestler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 LOL at the idea that Punk just walked out of his contract because he wasn't getting the Cena push. The pipebomb promo is still working the marks, I guess. Payday and injury issues make a lot of sense, though. He was clearly burnt out and it showed in his ring work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There have been a lot of unathletic guys, but they don't do things that make them look even more unathletic. Hell, even an athletic freak like Shawn Michaels has probably cut stuff that looks like sht out of his act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If Punk did walk-out (and I doubt he did), kudos to him. He managed to become the most talked about guy in the same week Daniel Bryan was victimized in the conspiracy to end all conspiracies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The saddest thing about the Matt Hardy situation is that here is still some fat goth girl somewhere who thinks he looks good in that mug shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 And Punk's elbow looks fine to everyone who doesn't watch days and days of wrestling at a time. I never had a problem with it. He jumps off the ropes and lands on a dude. That hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 As far as Punk goes, we will know if this is a work or not pretty soon. If Mick Foley makes another camera phones instagram video of him shitting on a TV in protest, then we know the E and Punk have worked the marks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever said those dudes were real-life friends? And wrestling's a world of sharks. Everyone SHOULD be trying to get their name out there like this.
