Why was Punk pointing 2 fingers when he won the World title at Extreme Rules

[GD]

Isn't he a 4 time World Champion winning the ROH World Championship, the ECW Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship (x2) ?!

[Juan]

I really hope you are not serious with this question, Dave.

[GD]

Well as a matter of fact I am. Almost everybody remembers that he won the ECW title and the ROH title.

[Lock Jaw]

The ROH Title does not exist in the WWE Universe, and the ECW Title only exists for the current champion.

[Juan]

I like you Dave, but when was the last time you heard the ROH title mentioned on WWE TV? He won his second World Heavyweight Championship, hence the 2 fingers.

[GD]

I understand dear but he did win the ECW title and he should have raised 3 fingers. That's all I am saying.

[Juan]

The ECW title does not = The World Heavyweight Championship.

He won his second World Heavyweight Championship, hence the 2 fingers.

[GD]

Doesn't seem technically sound. Didn't Batista become a 5 time World Champion after winning the WWE title.

The WWE title is not = to the World Heavyweight title.

In this case he won his first WWE title.

[Juan]

Yeah, but Punk was specifically alluding to the fact the he had won that specific title twice now. Either that or he was just throwing up the "peace" sign

[GD]

:roll:
6012
:nono:
6013

[Juan]

Maybe 2 is his favorite number

[Destor]

ECW title = European champion

[DAMN iNATOR]

2 = 2-Time World Heavyweight Champion via MitB briefcase cash-in opportunity (if you wanna be that technical about it).

[GD]

DAMN INATOR makes sense. :y:

[Juan]

Punk was specifically alluding to the fact the he had won that specific title twice now.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That's what I said, Juan. But thanks for repeating me.:mad::nono:

[Juan]

I know, I just don't see why Dave didn't understand my post when I said basically the same thing you did.

[GD]

To be more precise he won it twice via cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.

[Juan]

Whatever Dave :mad:

[GD]

Calm down dude.

[Jeritron]

lol

[FourFifty]

Maybe Punk was just showing his respect for Jack Swagger, the Two Time Two Time All American American!

[Team Sheep]

What do you guys say when someone has won both World Heavyweight title and the WWE title? Do you say he's a 1 time World Heavyweight champion and a 1 time WWE Champion or just say he's a 2 time champion? I just go with whatever brand the title is on. For example, because Batista's on Raw I'd say he's a 5 time WWE champion but if he got drafted to Smackdown now I'd say he's a 5 time World Heavyweight champion.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I, personally, like to be specific. Triple H is an eight-time WWE Champion and a five-time World Heavyweight Champion, with thirteen World Titles overall. I think to the WWE, it really doesn't matter, and the belts are interchangeable. It seems that Triple H is a thirteen-time WWE Champion, because he's chasing the WWE Title. What were they saying about Batista on RAW? That show is horrible, so I don't watch, but did they put Batista over as a five-time World Champion or WWE Champion?

[Team Sheep]

Yeah like with Triple H I'd just call him a 13 time WWE Champion like they do on TV because he's on Raw. Not sure what they said about Batista, I wasn't really paying attention.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm pretty sure they said Batista was a five time champion of some sort.

[DAMN iNATOR]

What do you guys say when someone has won both World Heavyweight title and the WWE title?

If he's held both simultaneously you call him either Triple H or Chris Jericho...:shifty:

Holding up two fingers is a common sign for "scissors" in the popular game/decision making tool Paper, Scissor, Rock. I believe Punk was holding up the two fingers as a sign to the smarks that he had cut through the bullshit and the politics to get back on top of the WWE, brother!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

can't believe you people

He's holding up two fingers to his throat. It's clearly a tribute to Great Muta

[thedamndest]

Why is Gregory Helms holding up three fingers?

[Anybody Thrilla]

3 Count

[thedamndest]

Well this mystery has been solved. Let's pack it in, boys.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Possibly because he's a 3 time cruiserweight champion

[Supreme Olajuwon]

case opened

[Jura]

This is very insensitive to people who have no fingers at all.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So is posting on a message board in general, Rampage.

[thedamndest]

I think we are again overlooking the most obvious answer. Gregory Helms is a Dudley Boy:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Perhaps he is a fan of former major league pitcher Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nope, pretty sure it's 3 Count.

[GD]

The WWE acknowledges Show as a 5 time world champion winning the WWE title (2), the WCW World title (2) and the ECW title (1).

[Supreme Olajuwon]

What the hell does that have to do with the Great Muta or 3 Count? If you're just going to spam, then get out of our thread. :n:

[GD]

My point is that the wwe acknowledges Flair's NWA title reign and not that of Christian.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

And my point is that you're a dirty rotten spammer

[Team Sheep]

Btw they called Randy a 5 time WWE champion last night.

[GD]

Dammit! how much effort does it take to call him a 4 time WWE Champion and a 1 time World Heavyweight Champion ?!

[Destor]

This thread should have never been made...:nono:

[The MAC]

number 2! Its a sid reference (maybe punk needed to have a shit)
