I swear to Jebus, if Cena closes the next PPV, I'm gunna start drinking...

It's kind of amazing how much of a difference it makes for Cole to say "I for one am looking forward to this matchup [between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan]" in awed-announcer voice instead of shitting on them constantly and calling them nerds. Is Vince dead?

also the late spring of punk an' bryan is gonna own so many bowenes

According to meltzer on his radio show from last night, the mentality regarding lesnar is "we're playing a ton of money to this guy who's not a WWE guy so we've got to make sure that he puts over WWE guys because we don't know how long he's going to be here." They told lesnar weeks ago that Cena was going over, but Lesnar's camp thought it was probably just testing him to see how he'd react. Cena was supposed to go out on a stretcher so that Lesnar would look like the winner in the end, which obviously didn't happen. Apparently it's hard to tell what exactly is going on behind the scenes because there's a lot of "weird working" going on. It's a "bizarre situation". In any case, apparently he's just there to put Cena over, and they wanted it to happen right away so everybody would forget about Cena losing to The Rock at mania. No real long term thought process, it's not building toward wrestlemania next year, it's all about getting WWE people over, starting with Cena.

They blow the punk build last summer, they blow the rock build for mania, now they blow this this spring. They keep getting setup after setup for things that could really change the product and keep people interested and ultimately make themselves tons and tons of money, and they just keep screwing up over and over. Back to midgets and fat dancing guys and guys with invisible friends and john cena getting his ass kicked one night and coming out to give a heroic speech about 'leaving for a while" instead of getting stretchered out and then coming out joking the next night like nothing ever happened to lead to a match that literally nobody wants to see with Johnny Ace.

If they didn't have Punk and Danielson on the next PPV, this week would have been it for me.

Quote:

-- As far as stories of Brock flipping his lid after Extreme Rules on Sunday night, well, he did flip his lid, but how much of that was real and how much of it was a way to convince the other wrestlers that him losing to John Cena was the right call, that's open to speculation. At least part of it, and maybe most of it, was a work on the boys, but there were a few things that Lesnar was legitimately upset about. Perhaps not upset enough to tear a locker room apart over, but upset nonetheless. The company tried to get out word Monday that he'd quit, I guess hoping various websites would report it so everyone would be surprised when he walked out on Raw. Unfortunately, they did a poor job getting the info out, particularly since by the time most of us heard it, we'd also heard that Brock was, in fact, in the building and scheduled to do the show.

-- WWE's official explanation of the HHH injury: "Triple H’s arm was placed in a hold that created a tremendous amount of torque on his upper arm and elbow. “He has a non-displaced fracture of distal humorous," said a supposed doctor. "Fortunately, this is not something that needs surgery with pins and screws. We’ll be treating him with a sling for comfort and following with him in the next few days." The idea was for Brock to return for a match with HHH at SummerSlam, but you know how those things go.

So I guess Vince isn't dead, then.

**** Cena. Seriously. The most entertaining this company's been in the last 5 years was when the focus was on Punk last summer. Other than that, Cena's been the only guy on top & it's been the same old shit for....7 years?

And yet I keep watching.

Note that the Punk, Rock & Lesnar angles all involved Cena on the other side of it....

I'm really excited to see Punk-DB, but there's still 2.5 weeks for them to **** it up by having Lesnar injure DB or some stupid shit. Or they could always just give them 5 minutes for the actual match. And then there's the argument of why this isn't main-eventing Wrestlemania. Oh, wait, Cena's not involved....

Holding out hope that they'll at least do Punk-DB the right way, but considering that they ended Raw with Big Johnny & Cena, I'm not holding out too much.

Everyone needs to purchase Over the Limit. Because if it underperforms then WWE brass will blame Punk and Bryan.

keg in kc · 05-02-2012, 12:31 AM

I would not expect a whole lot out of Danielson and Punk based on Smackdown:

Spoiler!

58kcfan89 · 05-07-2012, 07:25 PM

I love Punk to death, but they need to get him & Bryan together on the mic. Either that, or just let him loose on Laurinitis. Or turn him heel.... The face promos & putdowns are so much more watered down than when he was a heel/tweener. Face Punk is still more bearable than most of the roster (IMO), but heel/tweener Punk is epic.

And **** Cena. What should be the best pure wrestling match of the year is going to take second billing to Cena vs. Johnny ****ing Ace....

BryanBusby · 05-07-2012, 08:28 PM

The King Hippo reference from the Miz is probably the best part of this show so far.

BryanBusby · 05-07-2012, 08:43 PM

woah Paulie on TV again

holy shit holy shit holy shit

So, Cena's apparently filed for divorce, and there's potential that it could get really ugly. It's been rumored for years that he'll sleep with anything that walks (yes, kids, this is your PG-era WWE children's hero...), so it's not exactly a big surprise.

I wish I was naive enough to think this could have any kind of positive impact on the product.

58kcfan89 · 05-10-2012, 04:25 PM

Don't have a link, but I just read something where an "insider" was quoted as saying that this would dwarf the Hogan divorce in terms of ugliness.

Gotta be tough to be a married pro wrestler. Or married to a pro wrestler, for that matter.

Oh, and I hope this means he gets fired. Or something. But he won't.

keg in kc oxymoron Join Date: Feb 2001 Location: OP/KC/Whatever Casino cash: $9556299	I would not expect a whole lot out of Danielson and Punk based on Smackdown: Spoiler! They beat Danielson twice on Friday's show. Complete interference the first time, but still. The guy contending for the Raw title at the next PPV lost twice to the SD champion at Tuesday's taping. The show opens with a Sheamus promo. Sheamus accepted Daniel Bryan's request for a rematch tonight. Sheamus started doing the "yes, yes, yes," I guess attempting to make people think when they are chanting it, it's now for him. Bryan came out. In other words, the main event advertised for tonight on Raw last night was changed. You'd think there was no long term planning or something. Sheamus NC Daniel Bryan. Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez came in and laid out Sheamus. Bryan put Sheamus in the Yes lock but the refs pulled im off. Bryan then started yelling at Del Rio and Rodriguez for interfering and costing him. And then to end the show... Sheamus b Daniel Bryan. Del Rio and Rodriguez came out for commentary. Del Rio and Rodriguez distracted Sheamus and Bryan climbed to the top, but he came off the top into a Brogue kick for the pin.
