HOLY SHIT

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

IT'S CLOBMMENTATING TIME!

[Tom Guycott]

Nice they used the entrance camerawork. Also, him standing near Samoa Joe makes me want to hear the Homicide piss story again.

"YO! I GOTTA PEE!!!"

[Simple Fan]

Funny he returns on a show no one watches and has never been a victim of a CM Punk chant.

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess FOX and/or WWE were that desperate to get people to tune in after last week's abysmal official debut for Backstage.

FOX wanted him from the start but WWE supposedly were not fond of the idea going into the actual debut.

[Simple Fan]

He's not going to help that show any. WWE fans want to see him in an actual wrestling ring. Right STD?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's retired.

[Simple Fan]

Was I right though?

[Droford]

Vince always wins

[Simple Fan]

Butt out. Was I right or not?

[Tom Guycott]

It just seems like yet another total "toy collecting" move to me. Bring him back in *any* capacity just so he doesn't potentially make noise anywhere else.

Calling it now, Phil is gonna pop that rating next week 50%. 75,000 viewers are coming!

[Droford]

The bigger news from backstage was the Miz resigned with WWE

[Volare]

Calling it now, Phil is gonna pop that rating next week 50%. 1,000,000 viewers are coming!

[GD]

My peepee is going to explode.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Good for Punk. Good for the show. The guy still has his presence.

[Mr. Nerfect]

He’s also probably going to get a hall pass from AJ Lee to bang Renee Young.

Stop judging how people live their lives, Dave, you fucker.

I think if CM Punk watched full gear he'd decline it

[Evil Vito]

I always assumed his upcoming return would’ve been announced/promoted on Smackdown to try to draw viewers to the next episode of Backstage.

Instead he actually shows up on a show that probably 20 people were tuned into.

That’s absolutely hysterical to me.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Meh. Fuck him.

anything can happen on <strike>Monday Night RAW</strike>..err..<strike>Tuesday Night Titans</strike>..uh..WWE BACKSTAGE

[Evil Vito]

LOOK IN MY EYES, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
A DISAPPOINTING REALITY

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I get why he did it. But this is a guy who could have gone to AEW and made a difference. Instead he is just another hack who’s committed to the status quo. Soon enough he will be back on tv as Lana and Lashleys love child.

[Volare]

1mil in views in 8 hours.

Don't think he wants to wrestle. He wants to act and write. Who knows he could get an acting gig out of this.

[xrodmuc316]

Rounded up to 50k from 49k. 100% increase would be adding another 50,000 viewers, a 50% increase would be adding 25,000 viewers :cool:

[dronepool]

Nice. Wonder how far Vinny had to deep throat his bank account.

[GD]

He was hired by Fox.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Who do you think approved the deal once ratings tanked on the first episode?

[Sepholio]

I'd be willing to bet Seannys remaining ball that CM Punk wrassles at Mania or Summer Slam next year.

[BigCrippyZ]

FOX trying to save Vince from himself. Shows how ridiculously pathetic Vince is today. If it wasn't for what he was able to do some 20 years ago he and his family would most likely be broke and (at best,) a footnote in history.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You should remain silent like the rest of your perverted generation.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m sure WWE and FOX are both on board with this.

Do you even *remember* all the groping from any of AJ's matches? Pretty sure she'd insist on being included.

[xrodmuc316]

Don't know if anybody is watching, but David Arquette just told CM Punk that his wrestling career was better than Punk's MMA career lol

[slik]

Renee is really good in this role

Punk is so charismatic and good at talking

David Arquette was hysterical...really want to watch SCREAM rn

[Jordan]

When asked about the Corbin dog costume segment he said "It made me reconsider doing this".

[slik]

For a show that doesn't have any wrestling matches on it WWE Backstage is much more entertaining than RAW has been in a while bc all the people on the show have personalities and are talking like human beings. (Renee, Ember, Booker, Punk, Arquette)

[Jordan]

It was really enjoyable. I loved the promo battle with David Arquette and Booker T, hilarious. CM Punk really did shoot from the hip on all topics that came up. I love how an inevitable feud with Rollins is going to happen. It's just with this little edge of reality they will have to do it. Fun show! I'd be down to watch whenever Punk is on. The structure of the show seemed a lot better tonight than previous as well.

When punk said "wrestling" I could hear Vince yelling from somewhere in CT

Even if this back-and-forth eventually leads to a match between the two, Rollins is just going to make the potential feud feel lame because of how much of a doofus he is online.

[Volare]

"Which Shield member was YOUR favorite?" Rofl!

[Droford]

Punk and Corey Graves need to do something

[GD]

They’re not on good terms

[Jordan]

I wish that Punk would have said directly into the camera "I WILL NOT BE ON TV IN CHICAGO, NOT SMACKDOWN, NOT NXT and NOT SURVIVOR SERIES, SERIOUSLY, I WON'T, DON'T GET UPSET WHEN I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT WORK FOR WWE". Because that show is gonna be all about Punk.

maybe the crowd will chant "david arquette" all night

[Sixx]

Well, his UFC career was a failure, better for him to be back with WWE.

[xrodmuc316]

Bumping an old thread, but Charlotte is pretty damn funny out of character. This has been one of the best Backstage segments.
