Chavo Classic 08-05-2005 11:41 AM

Jobber against jobber, and worse still, it was on the midcard of a PPV!

I still remember the boring chants in that match.

I was in the pisser, or getting more pringles from the kitchen... i forget which

Corkscrewed 08-05-2005 11:47 AM

wow, hot topic

I think it can work, and it's the sort of thing they can renege (sp?) upon relatively easily.

Like a few people have said, if he's that good, he can do this. It's got the potential to be pretty entertaining.

and I downloaded that match of Mordecai vs. S2H from teh PPV. only because I wanted a match with him in it. :p

Chavo Classic 08-05-2005 11:49 AM

It definately has its advantages - like him not hearing the ref during matches or stumbling through interviews with a frustrated Coach. But it's just me, but I don't want to see another comedy character, especially with someone as respected and idolised as Punk.

I have faith enough in the WWE that if they decide someone's too green and pop him down to OVW, it's probably because they ARE too green.

What I saw was garbage, and I didn't buy him in the gimmick anyway. He looked like a frustrated D&D geek who's angry at the world...

...And I should know...We can smell our own. ;)

Being deaf is sometimes reversible, I should know. The question is, will the WWE be able to take it back without being totally stupid?

I know the answer to that one.

no.

Innovator 08-05-2005 12:18 PM

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK








Now that thats out of my system, if anyone can make this good, it's Punk. I mean in ROH he can cut a quick promo and have the crowd hate him just like that. For close to two years he was the most hated guy before becoming the top face in the company. Even if he is gonna be deaf, HE IS STILL BETTER THAN YOU

KingofOldSchool 08-05-2005 12:44 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Well at least he'll be getting paid better.

If he was so smart, he would know what he was getting into when he signed that contract.

MVP 08-05-2005 12:59 PM

I weep for any remaining dignity he'll have after WWE.

BigDaddyCool 08-05-2005 01:03 PM

Didn't CM Punk quit wrestling when Candito died?

The One 08-05-2005 01:28 PM

He was talking out of hurt...

Just like people here who seem to be so butt hurt they are done watching wrestlign forever. Hey guys look at it this way. CM Punk has busted his ass right? Hell yeah. So let him come up to WWE, do whatever shit gimmick they give him, if he makes it work then yeah he has a million dollar plus contract, if he doesn't make it work, that's too bad, but at least he had a year where he was getting paid more money then he would on the indies to work 2 or 3 days a week instead of 6 or 7. He is released and goes back to doing what he was doing before only with a little more money and a better rested body.

Win-Win if you ask me.

:y: like the way you think

matter of fact here is a 4 way matchup featurin CM, Christopher Daniels, Frankie, and some other guy.

Dorkchop 08-05-2005 02:53 PM

having him be deaf wrestler is retarded. he should take a mean blow to the side of the head with a chair (while laying on the ground) and not be able to hear for a couple of months. It would be funny.

alvarado52 08-05-2005 03:02 PM

Ive got an even better gimmick for him. Now hear me out: instead of CM Punk, we shall have an angle where these punk kids throw toxic ooze in a sewer hole, unexpectedly spilling onto a helpless skunk underneath the hole. He is then trained by a overgrown talking rat, and thus the debut of.....<b>CM SKUNK!</b>. Seriously, greatest. gimmick. ever.

CM Punk is deaf?

Wait, who was it that I thought was writing RAW now...no, not that Nick writer...talking about the guy who I THOUGHT was the head SD writer?

Maybe the Nickelodeon bitch and Laguana are co-existing right now.

But hey, we've judged too early with things before, maybe we are now.

Mr. Nerfect 08-05-2005 06:56 PM

OK, maybe I was too hard on the gimmick before. If he plays it well, it could be good. If he's a heel, it has the potential to be awesomeness. Him looking the other way when the referee is counting to five while he holds in an illegal move, but not getting disqualified because of his "disability" would be one of the better heel techniques ever. But do you really think we'll see that.

I have a sick feeling the WWE will play it up to laughs, and try and make it warm and fuzzy. That's bullshit. There is a good way to handle this, and a bad way to handle it.

CM Punk as a heel/tweener/face trying to spread the message of his xXx beliefs, using the "deafness" (which would be a planned hoax by CM Punk) to his advantage=potentially good way. CM Punk playing a retarded babyface tring to live his dream but being ridiculed while lame jokes are made behind his back=horrible, horrible idea. This is either oging to be offensive in a good way, offensive in the bad way or inspiring in a good way. I think it'll be the middle option, personally.

How hard would it have been to have CM Punk debut on RAW or SD! claiming he was the REAL World Champion, though. The WWE has a good relationship with Ring of Honor, can't they ask them if they can have CM Punk bring the title on TV, and maybe even defend it in a potential classic with Paul London or Nunzio, or someone? Hell, have John Cena/Baista (depending on which brand CM Punk's on) actually cost CM Punk the ROH Title.

How hard would it have been to have CM Punk come in and start claiming to Triple H he is "The Game", "The Cerebral Assassin" and it's not "HHH" it's "xXx". A feud where some new guy debuts only to immediately begin to attempt replacing Triple H would be an instant classic, IMO.

How hard would it have been to have CM Punk come in, and accuse Shelton Benjamin of taking drugs? Have CM Punk explain to Shelton that he's seen the signs, and Shelton has not been himself in the ring lately, because they're taking their toll. A feud over the IC Title between the two would be a great feud. CM Punk can then move onto defending against RVD, with RVD's stoner habits being used as motivation for the storyline.

They could probably do all this WITH the deaf character, but unless CM Punk is portrayed as a wrestling genius, this could potentially be one of the worst decisions the WWE has made in a long time.

Very very very hard according to the WWE. Because that would require them doing something creative. And we all know how much the WWE frowns on creativity.

I don't give a shit how much money he makes, i don't watch wrestling because wrestlers make money. I wanted to see CM Punk as CM Punk, not some fake deaf character.I'm sure he'll pull it off, but i was more interested in seeing the gimmick that got him so popular and signed up to the WWE.

Alright. But still let's give this a chance to even get out of the box before we judge if it sucks or not. We do that too much anymore. Let's at least show a bit of fairness and give it a chance. Even though the WWE creative has let us down before, we've been surprised before.

Maybe he could scream really loud, because he's convinced he's not deaf.

At least the Austin chance will have a place...

I was gonna post the match he had on Heat against Val Venis but that match really sucked. sucked so bad I deleted it not wanting to ever see it again.
