Cobra Commander Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 so Punk followed up noting his similarities with the Warrior by walking out of the fed after a major PPV? Obviously the Ultimate Warrior is CM Punk
Jrag Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Some guys would have tried to professional on their way out but not Punk. He has to make a point, you see. Even though no one's entirely sure what this point is meant to be. Do you know something we don't about how or why Punk quit? Christ. It's like an ESPN comment section right after someone declares for the NBA. "He just didn't have what it takes to get his degree and he clearly wanted to send a message to Bill Self. Trust me, I watch the games." 2
Spontaneous Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I doubt he is gone for good. He has looked tired and bored the last few months. As noted in this thread earlier, it just frees up the card for Wrestlemania. Can see them running Cena-Wyatt / HHH-Bryan / Taker-Sting / Lesnar-Sheamus / Orton-Batista now with Punk gone.
Cristobal Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Look, the most important thing is that Mick Foley is feeling better: ENTHUSIASM RETURNING A couple of days ago I mentioned in one of my posts that I was about 1/6 as excited about Wrestlemania as I was prior to the Royal Rumble PPV. I think we were all a little down that night. Well, the enthusiasm is returning – maybe not up to 100% yet – but somewhere in the halfway range. I am no longer thinking of selling my tickets, or canceling my flights and I am looking forward to being part of the biggest week of the year in our business. I might even serve in some type of official capacity for WWE – maybe even my own show somewhere during that week. But I don't think it's possible to overstate just how important it is that WWE come up HUGE on this elimination chamber PPV. I am doing a show in Minneapolis the night before the The Chamber and I intend to stick around for the PPV, even if I'm not a part of it – just because I get the feeling history might be made. For the sake of Mania, I think it NEEDS to be made. Clearly smashing his daughter's TV provided the catharsis he needed to work through his anger.
Reed Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I know Mick is just naturally an emotional guy, but I'm guessing at least some of this behaviour is do with concussions.
Hoarr Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I've heard rumblings that this thread has been extremely entertaining today. Thank you for helping me kill off a dead workday. 2
Fallacy! Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It's amazing how much the worse the Wrestlemania card is just by the mere presence of Randy Orton. Booking that event would probably be so much easier if they didn't think they had to find something important for that fucker to do.
Spontaneous Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Losing Orton and Punk would be the best thing to happen to that show right now. I honestly don't know what The Shield, Big E Langston, The Real Americans, The Usos, Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio will be doing on it. Perhaps that Langston/Reigns vs. Ambrose/Rollins match will actually happen. 1
Ultimo Necro Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Raw better have Michael Cole come out at some point and tell the crowd that CM Punk will be here again next week LIVE ON RAW. Following week Cole introduces "CM Punk" and its just Corey Graves in Punks gear. Worked for fake Diesel and Razor right? 1
Cobra Commander Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 they could just have Bryan win the belt at EC, then Brock Lesnar comes out right there and demolishes him in 30 seconds to make the title match Brock/Bautista at WM
Ramsey Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Seriously, as casual-fan-old-school-hate-filled-codger as I am, I can't be the only person that sees the words Orton, Batista, and Wrestlemania together and cringes like someone who just stumbled onto tentacle porn on their mom's lap top. Please tell me I'm not the only one. Please.
_MJ_ Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 They've taken the CM Punk "Best in the World" documentary off Netflix and WWE has unfollowed Punk on Twitter. WWE Facebook page just updated their relationship status to "It's complicated" too. This is rock bottom. 8
Goodear Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 You know for all the talk about how booking is burying Daniel Bryan, Orton is really the victim of some shitty shit writing here. I mean they haven't made the guy do or say anything interesting in months, they are just having him do his 'greatest hits'. How someone can be the World Champion and be such an afterthought to the program is dumb. He could really benefit from some time off or something, anything new to do. 2

How someone can be the World Champion and be such an afterthought to the program is dumb. He could really benefit from some time off or something, anything new to do. The writing has been piss poor for pretty much everyone all year. Cena, Punk, Orton, Bryan etc etc.... The quality of the talent has covered it up, but no matter how good the wrestling is, watching The Shield vs 3 babyfaces over and over again with no direction just doesn't fucking cut it.
DougN Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm so shocked that they haven't fucked up Roman Reigns yet to be honest.
just drew Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It does feel less crowded at the top of the card now. I enjoy CM Punk, and as someone who's a large man who's trained enough to have been elbowed in the face by a smaller man, I can assure you that it hurts. Particularly if the smaller man also knows what he's doing. But Punk kind of ran out of things to do. It's clear that his beef with the Authority is second to Bryan's in the eyes of fans and the eyes of the office, and apparently there's only so many things he wants to do. He also doesn't strike me as a guy who's gonna be happy just working a program for the sake of filling tv time. If that's the case, he should leave instead of dragging it out. What I am curious about is how this effects his relationship with the company in the inevitable event that he wants to come back....
Jrag Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 What I am curious about is how this effects his relationship with the company in the inevitable event that he wants to come back.... It pretty much guarantees him a WM main event is all.
just drew Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm so shocked that they haven't fucked up Roman Reigns yet to be honest. There's 336 days left in this calendar year. We'll see... 3
Ramsey Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm so shocked that they haven't fucked up Roman Reigns yet to be honest. Give them time... 2
Cristobal Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm so shocked that they haven't fucked up Roman Reigns yet to be honest. Hasn't been enough chanting for him yet. It'll come. 1

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 So Punk's the mystery investor? Looks that way.. Also, it's really only "crowded at the top" because of Batista, Lesnar and Undertaker.. at least two of which will probably not even appear on shows following Mania. 1
Jrag Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Also, it's really only "crowded at the top" because of Batista, Lesnar and Undertaker.. at least two of which will probably not even appear on shows following Mania. The two good ones at that.
brandonr4s Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm done with Undertaker. Either come back at Mania and give Roman Reigns the rub or don't come back.
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Also, this possible NSFW picture leaked out onto the net which may shed a little light on the current Punk situation. Spoiler just in case. 7
