In this case, "stupid" and "face" are synonymous. Well, perhaps not synonymous, but closely related.

Also, I don't know what BDC's on aboot. I'm more interested in Smackdown right now than I've been in years.

Jeritron 04-16-2009 12:55 AM

Now that the dust is settled, I'd say "Raw got really screwed", as far as I'm concerned personally.

I too am more excited for Smackdown than I have been in god knows how long. ECW pretty much houses the remaining wrestlers that I have any interest in.
Save for a few talents, I don't really have much interest in Raw right now.

I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Destor 04-16-2009 02:03 AM

Hey Noid, a babyface should always face a challenge head on, win it like a man or don't win it at all...unless his charector would do otherwise.

IC Champion 04-16-2009 02:09 AM

Destor makes a very valid point.

Destor 04-16-2009 02:10 AM

If I'm home during SD! I'm watching Dollhouse instead, but if I weren't I would be SOOOOO amped about SD!

Destor 04-16-2009 02:10 AM

Gonna start recording it.

Destor 04-16-2009 02:10 AM

WWE should look into Hulu.

IC Champion 04-16-2009 02:11 AM

It's called the magical would of DVR/TiVO. They are life changing.

It's because I'm right. I mean, how weak did Punk look during his reign? Exactly.

It's why your point was so valid, I do believe so.

You should be able to get one from your cable provider for like 10 bucks a month or something.

IC Champion 04-16-2009 02:13 AM

No man should live without DVR, are we not all human?

Arent they going to be mandatory soon?

Destor 04-16-2009 02:24 AM

I don't think so. I don't really keep up with that stuff. I know Antennas wont work after the end of this year.

Destor 04-16-2009 02:25 AM

Jeritron 04-16-2009 02:26 AM

I don't have Dvr either. I should be able to find it online, but I'd like to enjoy it from the comfort of a real tv.

I may be hooking up my VCR

IC Champion 04-16-2009 03:49 AM

Don't be afraid of technology boys, jesus how old are you guys?lol

You can still run any TV with a digital converter. Most HDTVs have them and most TVs in the last ten years have them. Before that, it's a little more of a crap shoot, but my old TV from high school had it.

Long as you don't do stuff like On Demand or DVRs, you don't really need a box if you're already digital. If your TV lacks a digital tuner, though, you NEED a box or other adapter.

fuckin smackdown

Mr. Nerfect 04-20-2009 09:35 AM

I do get what people are saying about faces being honourable and that shit, but seriously, why can't you have CM Punk pull one over sure-fire as a way to secure his brand a World Title, and then go on to be a credible and honourable champion who proves he deserves to hold the belt?

I mean, Austin wasn't always the do-gooder, and he's one of the biggest faces in the history of the company. The same goes for The Rock and Shawn Michaels. CM Punk isn't someone that should be booked like Hulk Hogan or John Cena. I'm not saying that if CM Punk said "Hey, I'm going to cash in at Judgment Day in Chicago," and he wins a World Title for SmackDown! that way, then it will be bad. But the WWE can fuck that up just as easily.

CM Punk sneaking in on John Cena would make so many people mark out, and Punk could just save it with a knowing glance to Cena, and a shrug. Faces can sometimes be effortlessly cool people.

Destor 04-20-2009 09:39 AM

Cause he won like a chicken shit and everyone will rub it in like they did last time.

Winning like a chickenshit can work for him. Cena and Edge are both down, Punk just strolls down (not run down, that would be a bit much), just looking so fucking happy with himself. He tells the ref he's cashing in, and hits Cena with a GTS. Punk then proves himself in a rematch with Cena at either Judgment Day or even on Superstars.

Destor 04-20-2009 09:45 AM

Thats a waste. You're gonn ahave him beat him right later? No reason for him to not just do it like a baby to begin with.

Supreme Olajuwon 04-20-2009 10:07 AM

A big problem last time was after Punk won the title, he went into a program with JBL and JBL repeatedly tore his credibility apart during promos. Even though he was champion, he still had to prove himself. If they plan on having him win the title again, his victory must, MUST prove that he deserves to be the champion. Otherwise he's just the guy who can't win on his own and he might as well be a heel.

Supreme Olajuwon 04-20-2009 10:13 AM

They really should just copy what they did with RVD, including having Punk beat Cena. Face vs face title matches with a handshake at the end are proven to work.

Destor 04-20-2009 10:17 AM

Yup. Sure it doesn't have the "OMG SHOKING" factor Noid seems to think is a must. But it's not like that's the only way to make a moment. Hell, Jericho wins the title and the Punk challenges him, the man who robbed him of the belt the first time. Makes for a great story.

Destor 04-20-2009 10:17 AM

Which I will say that screwing Jericho and giving him a taste of his own medicine would be an acceptable scenrio.

Destor 04-20-2009 10:18 AM

Although it's terrble for Punks credibility.

Supreme Olajuwon 04-20-2009 10:18 AM

not to mention the match would kick all kinds of ass

Destor 04-20-2009 10:21 AM

No doubt there

Supreme Olajuwon 04-20-2009 10:21 AM

I really think Punk has to beat someone huge and by that I mean Cena, Triple H, or Batista. Something where the marks and smarks alike say there's no way Punk is going to win and then he does. And it has to be in a match where he just out wrestles the other guy.

Destor 04-20-2009 10:22 AM

It would be nice and would DEF put him on the map as legit, but it's not going to happen.
