That's why I said "Back in the day." Cabana does it too. However, Dusty doesn't wrestle anymore, and it's a move that is credited to him. With Dusty, it's an obvious sign of respect, not "I'm going to do this and act like it's mine."

Go ask KENTA if he has a problem with it. If he doesn't, then who cares?

Here's a question: Would this thread exist if this happened in, say, ROH?
No. In fact, this thread would probably be dedicated to how well he pulled it off (whether he did or didn't pull it off well). |

He wouldn't need to steal the Go 2 Sleep in ROH, though, considering he'd still be using the Pepsi Plunge. Or so I would imagine.
I just see this as a way to give a him finisher that has more impact than the anaconda vice. While it is a cool submission, it's a bit easier to get a knee to the face over with the crowd than an arm submission. |

And really, how do you even know if it was Punk's idea to use it? Maybe a writer said "hey, I saw dis cool move on the intarnetz, I want u 2 use it 2nite. Itz on uTubz".

I'm sure WWE's sitting there saying "You know, these movesets are kind of boring. Let's mix it up."

He is ripping him off because he is the shit, and nobody knows who KENTA is so who gives a flying fuck?

If this was Hardcore Holly using GO2SLEEP and the KENTA combo, the IWC would be ALL over him.

I personally do not give a fuck about who stole who's move(s) though.

I'll say it really sucks when you work really hard to get something over just to see a guy YOU KNOW doing the same thing YOU came up with elsewhere. Pretty offensive and pretty shitty. YOu work real hard to bring something unique to the table, so you can be worth something, and when A guy takes that he might as well be dipping his hands into your pocket and taking your wallet because it's going to cause the smae effect. Punk deserves shit for this, but here's the sad truth: The world saw Punk do this first. Their his now. Last edited by Destor; 02-22-2007 at 06:07 PM. |

I've just watched the clip of the 'Go 2 Sleep' by Punk on Youtube, and I've got to say - what a lot of fuss over a shitty looking move.

Like I said in another thread, let's wait to see if he keeps using those moves. Unless he wins the MITB with the GTS which is unlikely then let's forget about it. |

What does it matter. Every move ever done or that ever will be done would be better performed if Destor did it. So really it's every just stealing Destor's glory...

Yeah, I'll agree though that it is a pretty dickish thing to blatantly rip someone off when you they are trying to get by and make a living. However, we still have to take into account that maybe Punk asked KENTA for permission to use those moves as well.
I figure the opinions that really matter are the ones who know better. I know where the moves originated from because I am a hardcore wrestling fan. And really lets face it, casual fans won't give a shit and the marks in between are too busy popping for the five knuckle shuffle or AJ Styles's 65th flip in one match to notice. |

Yes, I can imagine it's plausible that someone would lend their signature moves to somene so that they can become identified with them by doing them on national television.
No, wait, My Occam's Razor needs a new blade. |

I dunno, know matter how much I try to approach the situation with an open mind, it still feels cheap to me.

I don't know about cheap, but it certainly seems disrespectful (regardless of the intent).
I'm not losing any sleep over it mind... |

How about this, KENTA starts using the Pepsi Plunge.
Problem solved. |
