Anyway, do you reckon' WWE is going to sit down with CM Punk over this "homo" issue? Is GLAAD going to have a word with WWE? Any impacts you can think of from this altercation between Punk and Sally?








:)

LOL at your gif

He punched right through it

I don't think too much will happen because of it. And that guy probably did look like a homo. Also, why are GLAAD always so pissy?

sensitive morons

I doubt anything will come of it since Punk came out almost immediately and apologized, calling himself a "douche" and his comments "bullshit." He recognized that the comments were out of line and did everything he could to fix it himself before it could get worse.

...I know...they're so gay, right? :shifty:

whatever happened to, "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me"

Fucking fags need need to man up.....

What did the fan do or say that makes him a douche?

I'm a CM Punk fan, but he always seemed a bit trashy to me so I wouldn't be surprised if he instigated it himself.

Big freakin deal. If the fan was really offended, they need to get over themselves. He was just working the fan obviously. Most fans would love that interaction with a WWE superstar. I thought it was understood that it wasn't to taken that seriously.

:lol:

CM Punk was doing his job , but he did go "too far" in today's environment and has issued an apology. I hope nothing more comes of this.

Now why on earth would he do that? :?::?::?:

lol you guys are hilarious

Agreed. It's bad enough when fucking comedians- known "dirty" comedians at that- have to apologize about some of their material to those uptight assholes... pun unintentional, but funny.

...Everything nowadays has to be so politically correct...people will go crazy over anything...

it was only CM Punk playing a heel and doing his job, simple as that. gay slurs or not. he was being heckled so he had to sort him out.

Watching the footage, I think Punk sees halfway through that he might have overstepped the line. His demeanor changes, and he begins to say "this is what I do", and the fishing reel, hook in mouth action.

Hopefully, the fact that he knows he has gone too far and the fact that he has apologised will mean this goes no further.

Cm Punk is a heel..... he's supposed to make people hate him..... he did such a good job, he got media coverage on it..... he should be rewarded for a job well done, not criticized because of his methods.....

He should be criticized if his actions are in direct opposition to the position the WWE is claiming to take on the matter. Personally I don't care at all and I think he should say whatever he wants, but if the WWE is trying to buy good publicity with their anti bullying and anti gay slur stuff, then it should be pointed out if they're not actually doing that.

:lol:

CM Punk should make an official apology through WWE in the middle of this Anti-WWE angle. :p

Not really. As Mr. JamesSteele said, he's in an anti-WWE angle. Hell, he was about to talk about how bullshit their anti-bullying shit is. In fact, it'd almost make sense if he did do the most to get the WWE into trouble.

My personal opinion is that words are words, and Punk was doing his job as a heel. He probably should choose wittier things to say than "You're a homo!" but he came out on his own an apologised for it -- which furthers my belief that he's actually signed a new contract with the WWE. :shifty:

What he said was homophobic and thats a fact. But i do think that everyone should just chill and let people say what they want. If someone is sexist, racist, homophobic etc. then we can make our mind up as smart people to ignore that person or just not acknowledge them. If we keep bringing up this stuff everytime someone makes a little quip then it just brings the matter to light and makes people even more sexist, racist etc than they were before. I say let everyone say what they like all the time and just say "fuck off" if you dont agree with it. No need to get so bent outta shape about it if it doesn't affect you personally. The world will never be a perfect place with people singing from the same sheet and people will always have something new to bitch and moan about. so lets just move on.

like that knobhead shisen kopf, i put him on ignore and now i cant see his racist and homophobic bullshit anymore. It doesn't affect me anymore so i dont give a shit. its up to him if he wants to continue being a tool but it aint my problem anymore

I'm all about saying whatever you want too, but that's not the issue. This isn't the media attacking the WWE just to do it. The WWE put this burden on themselves when they voluntarily stated that they were going to speak out against bullying and gay bashing. No one forces them to do that. They did that on their own. And they did because they want to get good publicity. That's fair enough, most sports leagues have a similar campaign intent on building similar goodwill.

But if the WWE is going to hold themselves out and say look at us, we're speaking out against gay bashing, then they have opened themselves up to be criticized when one of their wrestlers is doing the very thing they said they're not doing anymore.

The issue isn't with Punk as a person. He's a grown man who's allowed to say what he wants. The issue is if the WWE permits the use of that slur when they've stated that they do not.

Who says WWE permitted it to be used? Are you saying WWE told CM Punk to go out there and call somebody a homo? Highly unlikely.

No I'm not. I'm not suggesting anything like that. That's absurd. But if they ignore the comment and don't do anything to curb future use of those slurs, then all their talk about being against gay bashing is completely disingenuous.

All I've seem from the WWE on the matter is that they said oh we don't condone that word, but he's an independent contractor so whaddyagonnado?

That's pretty disingenuous.

I Thought it was hilarious and people should get over themselves... he was doing his job... Good Lord...

Again, completely missing the point. It doesn't matter what you or I think about it. This is about the WWE voluntarily stating that they're not gonna allow those words on their shows, and then one of their wrestlers uses one of those words.

The easiest solution to this would be for WWE to just drop the anti gay bashing campaign and let their wrestlers do whatever. But they can't say one thing and then do another.

aren't we all Homo sapiens?

if you know latin, CM Punk called him a "man"

I can't believe this thread has gone on this long with no one making reference to the old caption running gag.

"No, YOU'RE a homo!"

You'd be bitchy if you had a dick up your ass.

Punk's career in a nutshell.

If they "manned up," they wouldn't be fags. :roll:

Totally agree with you brother, just get annoyed when entertainment gets f'ed up by idiots and their thin skins...

Love it how thse faggots try to get ALL SERIOUS and get their panties in a bunch, it's fucking pro RASSLIN'

no idea what point you are making at all, well you aren't making one are ya

Whether or not you think that GLAAD or whoever are overreacting, CM Punk still should know better than to use the word "homo" while working for a global company like WWE. He was obviously wrong to use that word in 2011, doesn't matter if he's a heel.

Turn his skin pink/purple and he kind of looks like Sinestro from Green Lantern with that Stache and haircut.

YOU HAVE A VAGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINA.

I think one of the fem groups should get up in arms because Punk used having a vagina as an insult. Clearly this is insensitive to women.

I doubt he even planned to use the the slur initially but because the whole promo/trash talking was done in an impromptu style, it slipped out but he managed to realize the mistake and tried to change the tone of the insults.

It doesn't excuse him saying the word but at the same time its not like he planned or been calling fans "homos" at every show.

I'd assume wrestlers are given a lot more creative freedom with their promos on house shows than during tv episodes that have larger or live crowds.

I wonder if he noticed that he was being filmed?

Maybe he was calling him a 'hobo'. :shifty:

I'm pretty sure he did. Either way, Punk is an amazing heel, and his mustache is SO bad ass...I WANT THAT, sigh...going to start today, will be done in 4 days I guess

lol

Did this happen on RAW or what? Any youtube clips of this?

Thanks.

house show in Australia

I think ppl take this too seriously. He called some dude a homo, and now WWE reacts as if he's the devil incarnate. You can't expect a heel to do his job if you censor what he can and can't say. WWE really needs to stop kissing GLAAD's ass, b/c they apologize over every homo or gay slur. Almost as if they wanna point it out, even though GLAAD wasn't aware of it. I'm sorry, but ppl were using those slurs long before CM Punk came along, and they'll continue to do it. I do think saying slurs is wrong, but being too sensitive over the issue is ridiculous. I could understand if he was threatening a gay person, but name calling isn't exactly a monumental case. No one ever got sentenced to life in prison for slurring someone to death. It's a freaking double standard. First amendment goes for everyone, and in this case should not be overanalyzed.

fucking faggots

:D

Also, wasn't GLAAD on John Cena's case not too long ago?

FILL ME IN!

wow we got some real brainiacs here

I found it to be lame

seems like something a heel woulda said 25 yrs ago when rascism and homophobic slurs were A-OK on wrestling shows

Dude, they still are. Its pro rasslin. Not an Art show. Or is it?!

he looks like an '80's major league pitcher

You're right. He's a ringer for this guy

BALLER!!

Look at that potential stage name

Jay Baller.

Epic.

I bet he fucked the nastiest sluts

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

lol, at (potentially) the best angle in a year being blown by GLAAD of all peoples

I think Punk was saying he looks like Tony Romo. Also, why was he in Austria if he was suspend by Vince?

Yeah for one of his promos on Rock. WWE went through that sensitivity training with GLAAD because of it.

Day or two later Michael Cole called Josh Matthews a faggot on Twitter.

Deal was he'd fulfill his remaining non-televised commitments.

this is fucking gay. No more Punk? fucking gay.

hopefully CM Punk goes back to ROH

With no CM Punk in the World Rasslin Federtainment who the hell is worth watching?

You were in a porn called RIM OF HONOUR, right?

LMAO. Honor with a U!! so weird

it's a Canadian thing. We also spell it GREY, not GRAY

and Odour not odor

You guys call it rasslin i hope. Or at least The Rassle.

Yes we Canadians are big fans of The Most Electrifying Man in Arts Rassletainment because he stood up for Bret Hart when HBK was RUNNING WILD BACKSTAGE

...Now, THAT'S gay.

All Non-Americans are Faggots anyhow.

If anything is homo here, it's exactly that 'stache.

Or an '80's porn star.

AMERICA FUCK YEAH

I think the bigger picture is the number of people who spazz out over GLAAAAAAAAAD "getting their panties in a bunch."

People seem pretty offended by offense, and then tell them not to be offended.

It's awesome to watch, though.

I find it hilarious that WWE, not GLAAD, seems to be the ones with their panties in a bunch. In almost every instance WWE actually alerted GLAAD of the supposed "slurs". Kind of like they want some sort of controversy to spin into an angle. Quite pathetic.

Still holding out hope that WWE is working GLAAD about Punk leaving.

Now that's an interesting concept. I wonder what, if anything, they'd do about it. The only way to make that better would be if Punk cut a "unscripted" promo on GLAAD. Too bad WWE is PG:D

Yeah, 'cause that worked well last time.

Alright, all of this Anti-Gay patrolling doesn't seem to be solving the problems that GLAAD would like to be solved and ultimately it's just creating new problems of censorship (Not to mention it's making people fucking hate them). The event wasn't even televised. It's starting to look more and more like a witch hunt everyday.

That's b/c if GLAAD thinks this one incident will stop gay remarks, they are smoking some powerful shit. For every pro, there's a con. I understand the need to show tolerance for ppl who are different, but WWE has stepped over the ass kissing line. Every little incident is reported to GLAAD, even if they don't see it as an issue. So why do damage control in a situation that cannot be fixed? To me, it winds up looking more like censorship and over sensitivity than a constructive way to solve a problem. I highly doubt CM Punk calling some dude a homo is the most gay bashing remark ever uttered. If that's the case, GLAAD should never go near a locker room, or they could target dozens of ppl for no reason. Apparently joking or saying something sarcastically isn't acceptable anymore. I bet if he called the dude an asshole, no one would even think twice about it. Funny how supposed groups have a double standard when it comes to something as simple as having a sense of humor. I personally can't comprehend why it's even a big deal to begin with. GLAAD obviously didn't know the incident occured until WWE made them aware...

People getting butt hurt about getting hurt in the butt. The Fuck has this world gone to!

i agree with everything here, except i don't find it nearly as entertaining to watch. action -> reaction -> re-reaction... gets old quick. especially when it all starts with such a cheap line.

This was 3rd degree gay bashing. No big deal.

Don't you mean "passive-aggressive gay bashing"?

But that would require pointing the finger at wrestling, and wrestling fans refuse to do that.

Kinda like when Vince was potentially defrauding shareholders and the smarks all spazzed out because "Congress is interfering with pro wrestling!"

Or when Vince attacked the company that ahd LET him use their trademark for over a decade and the smarks all spazzed out because "Pandas are ruing wrestling!"

Oh, I don't know. It gave Vince his jollies. I'd say that's the whole purpose of half the shit he does.

True. Sad. But true.

Yeah, but it seems to me that GLAAD would find someone to point a finger at for being insensitive to their cause. Every joke or sarcastic jab is put under the microscope and scrutinized. It's one thing to be tolerant to the GLAAD organization, it's another thing to essentially be controlled by them. Do you think WWE in the Attitude era would've been GLAAD's little bitch? Hell no.

WWE is to blame partially here for even making something out of nothing, but IMO what CM Punk said isn't a big deal.

If you're referring to the steroid issue, then Congress should single out more than just wrestling. All forms of sports or performance have that issue. That would be like getting upset at Congress for "interfering" with baseball or football. I do agree though that defrauding shareholders is wrong, but I'm sure with it being wrestling they were investing in, they knew the risks.

Ppl always complain about this, that or the other. Sounds to me like you are "spazzing out" b/c you don't agree with so called "smarks". What's the big deal about fans here voicing an opinion? Maybe some ppl preferred the WWF name over the WWE name. I guess by that logic, when the other WWF said WWF(E) could no longer use their trademark, they were "spazzing out". You like that phrase alot, but you sure have your share of dislikes and complaints. Double standards by so called "intelligent ppl" is always a ironic thing to watch.

I think Kane Knight just got owned

And there is my proof. Ya know, that thing where you pop up randomly in a convo in some thread just to diss someone. You said you have never ever done it. I thought you would then hold off for a week but i guess not. Cheers

That's a friendly jab, you daft twit. I'm not dissing Kane Knight because I don't actually think he got owned.

It's called a joke

You are a joke mon frere

ok

So, lemme get this straight (heh):

Punk said something inappropriate, then he realized it was wrong and apologized for it.

What's the big deal?

Internet has to shit all over it now.

jesus didn't realize so many people hated GLAAD
