CM Punk removed from all live events

[Volare]

Let's all make Twitter accounts and post the same shit and see if Clarke bites.

[slik]

*If* Punk is gone I'm curious to see how many CM PUNK chants happen at the Superdome for Mania.

[slik]

A bit disheartened this is the most successful thread in my posting history...was pretty positive my JNCO Jeans thread would have 25k posts by now.

[Swiss Ultimate]

My most popular thread was about how great America is and how dead Bin Laden is.

[Vastardikai]

It'd be awesome if this led to Christian being taken out and replaced in the Chamber by the guy who will in fact replace Orton as the "Face of the WWE."

Company Man Punk.

[James Steele]

...that'd actually be a huge fucking pop.

[Bad News Gertner]

I'm sure HHH would fight him at the next ppv and squash it.

[Krimzon7]

hmmm, love it or hate the guy, Triple H has you all talking. I'm just saying.

Congrats on such a successful thread Slik, please send a tweet to HHH for making your CM Punk thread the Totes MaGotes.

[Droford]

Punk is obviously coming back and when he does hes going to form the Straight Edge Shield to fight the Wyatt's by taking Ambrose and Rollins under his wing after Reigns dumps them.

Us talking about HHH doesn't mean he is doing his job. I personally don't watch the product unless I hear about something that is GOOD. Thus, I avoid all things HHH unless he puts on a rare great performance :)

[Nark Order]

hmmm, love it or hate the guy, Triple H has you all talking. I'm just saying.

This is always such an ill-thought awful argument. David Arquette being World Heavyweight Champion had people talking as well, but for the wrong reasons.

[#1-norm-fan]

I was actually gonna mention that the whole "Like it or not, it gets you talking" theory is very Russo-esque.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I will say this. Experimenting like this right before Mania when people start watching again isn't going to much aside from reinforce the company's beliefs that people like what they're doing.

The only thing that is going encourage them is for people to stop watching and stop buying ppvs. Like if they take a hit for Wrestlemania because of all of this, then we can say for sure whether they have really turned off even the most casual of fans.

[#1-norm-fan]

With the WWE Network though, it's gonna be hard to tell if WrestleMania got affected anyway.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Let's assume that everyone who buys the Network was already going to buy Wrestlemania.

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't think that's a good assumption.

[Tom Guycott]

Aw damn, I missed all the "Remember when HHH..."

I was going to mention Tazz being ECW champion in the Champion vs Champion match (that WWE spent all night hyping, by the way) that Hunter totally had to go over in, killing any heat, interest, or momentum in what could have been a potentially awesome Invasion precursor. Oh well, guess that ship sailed.

[Fignuts]

Or remember when William Regal delivered one of the most awesome promos ever, and later that night Triple H squahed him in like 2 minutes so they could build him up for fucking Eugene?

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol the Eugene thing was ridiculous. I worked in a mentally challenged group home during Eugene's run and he was their hero.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol you know what was odd about Evolution. It was supposed to be the past: Flair, present: HHH and future: Batista and Orton....but Batista is older than HHH.

[Bad News Gertner]

Remember that time Maven finally got a push and was building momentum and then he face HHH for the title, lost and that would be the end of Maven. Goooooood times.

[#1-norm-fan]

Triple H MADE Eugene.

Jesus didn't have tapping as an option. He had an ironclad contract anyway.

[Krimzon7]

This is always such an ill-thought awful argument. David Arquette being World Heavyweight Champion had people talking as well, but for the wrong reasons.

With that being said, there are a lot of casual eyes on the product right as Wrestlemania season gears up.

[Blonde Moment]

Bad idea: Bryan loses to HHH in an obvious screwjob, next up Divas championship give people a chance to calm down. Halfway through the Batista/ Orton match Miz shows up at ringside and just watches and a few minutes later Bryan shows up beside him and starts talking with the Miz maybe pointing at a spot and smiling and then finally have Punk show up and the 3 basically DQ the match beat the ehll out of both and leave. Could tease them doing the same thing only to have it cost Lesnar the win and giving it to the Dead Man forcing either a rematch for the RAw main event or a reason for the Taker to return the following year.

[Damian Rey]

Remember when CM Punk initially hinted that the Authority sent the Shield after him, and clocked Triple H in a melee only to get superkicked, hinting at a possible feud that would now make sense? And in reality, the only reason for feuding with the Shield was to put Roman Reigns over and legitimize him as the dominate member of the Shield while creating a rift within the group? Yeah.

Remember when Benoit was the hottest act in the company, and closed the show at Mania, only to be booked as an upper mid card champion while Triple H and HBK dominated the main event feud?

Remember when Triple H pedigreed DB at SummerSlam, called him a B+ player, and had him on the losing end of every feud he's been involved in since, thus making DB the biggest star in the company and giving him the headline Mania match instead of an old oaf like Batista and boring heel like Orton? The memories.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Remember when Hogan refused to let HBK go over him?

[Damian Rey]

Yes, but I don't think Hogan gets a whole lot of defenders, and HBK wasn't on the brink of super stardom either. It's not like that buried an already established future HOF, and killed any momentum for them/kept them from being in a better spot ala Punk, RVD, Bryan, Booker T, Benoit, etc etc.

[Fignuts]

Hogan, like God, is infallible.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Triple H doesn't really get a lot of defenders either, heh. I'm not sure how many people have screwed over as many wrestlers and fans as Hogan though. Vince McMahon maybe?

[Damian Rey]

Who exactly has Hogan screwed? He put Warrior over clean, and, even though it was shit, he did eventually put Sting over. Not to mention Goldberg.

I recall Hogan being cited more for hogging the spotlight and manipulating himself into the main event more so than burying anyone in particular.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Stacy Keibler is a bigger name and has far more crossover appeal than CM Punk. If they've really got her on board for Wrestlemania, they'll have forgotten about the little whingebag by now.

[whiteyford]

Ugh...what a disaster that was and what happened to Warrior after?

Hogan stepped on and buried a lot of wrestlers. Vader (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8q71z_hulk-no-sales-a-vaderbomb_fun), Piper, Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, nearly all the young guys in WCW and deliberately making guys like HBK and Undertaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=anKWu5QW8TE) look bad.

I dunno, it seems like common knowledge to me.

If Punk did go to TNA he'd get to chill with his best friend Samoa Joe again, probably have complete creative control of his character and storylines and potentially have a really awesome feud with Kurt Angle.

[Innovator]

If they didn't pay AJ, there is no way they can pay Punk.

Plus, you know, Punk is still under contract.

[erickman]

i would not say shit show but hogan broke them. i agree tna may not afford punk now unless jeff jerret gets money and retakes tna.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Stacy Keibler is a bigger name and has far more crossover appeal than CM Punk. If they've really got her on board for Wrestlemania, they'll have forgotten about the little whingebag by now.

Iggy, I love you boss, but I hope you're aware of how retarded of a statement this is. I'm not even Punk's biggest fan, but just because Kiebler was with George Clooney doesn't mean people will watch wrestlemania because she'll be there, pretty much just looking good. She's an attraction, not a crucial part of the product.

Though I'm going to assume you were just joking or trolling.

[Swiss Ultimate]

he has some buessness with jeff hardy 1st, and bully ray has allready challanged him.

lol @ Bully Ray. I dunno. If he DID go to TNA he'd have the pick of who he wanted to work with, it'd probably be Angle and Joe.

Anyone can see TNA is a shit show right now. He's not going there.

I haven't been watching. The thing is though, that if CM Punk is financially secure and just wants a "break" while still doing what he wants, TNA is a potential outlet for his ideas. Especially if the product is shit and the company is in trouble, he'd be able to do whatever he felt like with little to no interference by the writers.

Think of it like popular writers who self-publish a novel because they want their vision of the story to be presented in a way the publishers wouldn't allow.

Again, I have no clue whether or not CM Punk leaving is a work or not. I'm just saying that it's not like he's desperate, he wouldn't need to go to TNA for the money and his best friend is Samoa Joe. With Hogan and Sting leaving, who among the TNA roster (including Dixie Carter) would be able to say "no" to CM Punk?

Also, who doubts that TNA wouldn't jump through hoops to make it happen? They were so desperate they hired Kurt Angle when he hit rock bottom with the drugs and family problems. They spent a lot of money on Sting and Hogan that I doubt they really had to spend and bent over backwards for guys like Christian and Anderson to make them look like bigger stars than they actually were.

If CM Punk isn't at Wrestlemania, I wouldn't write him off as going to TNA even if for just a short while. Or at the very least being seen backstage visiting with friends.

[BigCrippyZ]

The ONLY way I could ever remotely see someone like Punk going to TNA would be if he got creative control for himself AND got to bring someone in to run TNA creative like Paul Heyman. And I'm not ever sure if that would be enough to lure him to the even bigger shit hole that TNA has become lately.

[erickman]

well tna gave mvp a huge storyline, so they would let punk do whatever.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I doubt Paul Heyman would leave the WWE just for Punk. He said he would go there if he was given complete control of the book though.

[Swiss Ultimate]

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9sHzLQci54o?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Damian Rey]

Punk in TNA would be a waste, even if he were allowed to have complete control, it would all be for not. Not enough people would care to watch long enough for whatever it is he's allowed to do to make a difference. TNA has proven time and again regardless of the star power you bring in, nobody is going to stay and watch if the product itself is not compelling enough.

If Angle couldn't turn them around, Punk won't either.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Kurt Angle didn't have complete creative control and his initial feud with Joe was a disappointment. They made numerous bad decisions during that early period so any Angle fans who followed him didn't stay long.

CM Punk surpassed Kurt Angle in popularity. And again, I don't think the size of the audience would matter that much to Punk if he really just wants to fully express himself. You're assuming he would go to TNA to make them competitive with the WWE. That simply isn't going to happen. What could happen is that Punk goes to TNA and just has tremendous matches, promos and feuds with people allowed to let it all hang out.

[The Rogerer]

It shows that you haven't watched TNA in a while. Things have moved on a lot since those days. If Punk goes to TNA I will film myself doing something ridiculous. It is the only worse situation he could go into.

[Damian Rey]

That's true, I guess. Didn't look at it from that standpoint. From TNA's standpoint, though, considering the money they've already poured into bringing name value with little to no difference, they shouldn't over pay for Punk. If he's going to come in, pay him with creative control over his character.

That said, pretty sure it was mentioned very early in the thread or somewhere on the board Punk was considering a part time role as he got older. If that's the case, and he essentially gets to pick who he faces, I can see him coming back.

TNA would be appealing for a little while, but if his goal is to ultimately main event Mania, and we know how forgiving Vince can be, then I think he eventually comes back at some point as a special attraction some time later on in the year.

[Swiss Ultimate]

That's the point though.

If it's true that CM Punk just got really tired with the WWE because of the direction they were taking his character and is willing to miss big paydays in Elimination Chamber and Wrestlemania,

Then money and over-all quality of the product is less important to him than control over his character.

Also, if some of his critics are correct that he's just an attention whore, well then you know what would put him in the spotlight? Going to TNA.

Again, I don't know what is really going on, but based on things he's said and done in the past, the lure of complete control over his character direction might be very attractive. Not just that though, he's got a lot of people he likes personally in TNA.

I fully accept that TNA is complete shit right now for the purpose of this purely hypothetical scenario too. Don't you see the opportunity in taking over a shit product that is desperate enough to give you everything you could ever want or need in terms of artistic freedom? Obviously there's a limit, I doubt we'd see Punk going back to the yards and trampolines or producing stuff on public access. TNA has just enough budget and production value in general that if CM Punk just wanted to come in and put a few of his ideas onto paper he could do it.

Is it likely? If Punk's done with the WWE, it's at least more likely than him going to ROH or Japan.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yes, but I don't think Hogan gets a whole lot of defenders, and HBK wasn't on the brink of super stardom either. It's not like that buried an already established future HOF, and killed any momentum for them/kept them from being in a better spot ala Punk, RVD, Bryan, Booker T, Benoit, etc etc.

I'm Hogan's biggest defender. Who is his WWF run did he keep down from being a bigger star? Hogan held the belt for so long because he was the biggest star in the history of wrestling. Even in WCW, people weren't bitching when Hogan was the champ and WCW was killing Raw in the ratings. You go with your biggest draw and Hogan was their biggest draw.

I don't think anyone can bitch about Hogan holding the belt for (what was it, 4 years), because he was legitimately their top draw and a phenomenon the world hadn't seen before. That said, by the time he got to WCW he was still a big deal, but there was definitely a big drop in his star-power, similar to what happened to John Cena but on a larger scale (Hogan at his lowest point in the 90s was probably more popular than Cena, that's just my opinion though).

Hogan became hot again with the NWO, but he still screwed over a lot of guys when he got to WCW and then acted like a jerk when he finally got back to the WWF. I just want to clarify the timeline a bit, because there is just no denying that Hogan is a Legend and his career in the 80s was pretty much unrivaled even by Flair and Dusty.

[NormanSmiley]

Hogan's 4 year run I think also had a mix in it of old school promoting where guys held titles for longer times because they never really had to defend them. In an era where you have a PPV every 12 months you really have to have a guy who is over,sells merch and can put on great matches to hold a title for a year.

The only person I can say Hogan may have held down in his WWF run was maybe mr perfect? not sure, rumor was Hogan nixed him getting the belt cause he was too small but I'm not sure how well it would have gone with curt as champ

in WCW that motherfucker buried anyone and everyone.

[The Rogerer]

How many people did Austin act funny about? Aside from the Lesnar thing, I mean. He didn't want to lose to Triple H, and then at the same time he was shitting on Jarrett.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I am kind of okay with Austin refusing to job to Michael Cole. Other than that, I dunno. He put Rock over, Mankind over and Undertaker over when he was hot. I remember people bitching about Austin going over Rock at all the Mania's except their last one together.

[NormanSmiley]

he put HHH over pretty good at no way out. Jarrett I definetly remember and right or wrong from a business standpoint, as a fan I didn't buy Jarrett as a mid carder let alone anywhere near a main event

No he's not.

Matt Hardy's penis erects when he sees other men and wasn't anywhere near as over as CM Punk.

CM Punk is basically exposing the WWE's hypocrisy (i.e. Treating part-time workers far better than those that bust their butts for an entire year and get less rewards).

If Punk doesn't come back before Mania' this year, there's a good chance that he'll be back either next year or the year after right before Mania'..........and will have a huge payoff and will be involved in a high profile match of sorts.

My friend went to Preston once, where Wade Barrett's from. He threw a can of beer at a teenager because he asked him for one.

Maybe they somehow got it by intercepting the broadcast to Titan Towers like Dan the Man used to do.

I don't get that reference. Half-thinking about googling it.

Bad News Gertner. It's Bad News Gertner, not aids.

The only bad news is that his mother didn't get an abortion

[Swiss Ultimate]

That's the only bad news you can think of?

[NormanSmiley]

[Swiss Ultimate]

Getting an abortion is a very serious decision in the life of a woman.

[NormanSmiley]

According to Marc Middleton:

Vince McMahon made WWE's first public comments on CM Punk's status with the company at today's conference call with company investors. An investor asked about Punk's status and Vince acknowledged he's one of the company's biggest performers and said:

"He's taking a sabbatical, let's just put it that way."

[Anybody Thrilla]

That kinda makes it sound like a work.

[Shadrick]

Or he doesn't want to speak on a situation he's still working to rectify, that he's confident he will rectify.

[Swiss Ultimate]

So do we know who is facing Undertaker yet? What the fuck are they waiting for?

[The Rogerer]

Michelle McCool

Throat tattoos are a sign of dedication.
