I don't often say this, but damn you're coming across as marks taking everything CM Punk said as 100% Gospel.
I used to respect the fuck outta Chris Nowinski. Not no more.
Punk says he hired a very vicious lawyer to go after WWE and fight their claim of breach of contract. In the end, he got a settlement that gave him everything he asked for and more. Punk's not allowed to talk about the settlement.
It's easy to believe the worst about this piece of shit company.
I'm a CM Punk guy again.
Those doctor stories just pissed me the fuck off.
hey buddy fuck you
can't just keep flip flopping teams
hey buddy fuck you
can't just keep flip flopping teams
Sure I can.
I have a new haircut, merch and entrance music to go along with it.
The fuck.
The fuck.
Yeah, I get that just seems odd everyone is lapping it up, but then this is CM Punk and the internet.
If CM Punk was going to spit a bunch of lies, he could've gotten a fat ass paycheck for it. Him doing it on doofy indie guy podcast for free adds credibility to it. He also could've done it waaaay earlier.
He isn't allowed to release the figure. Vince doesn't want to look bad in front of shareholders when all he had to do was mail 2 checks instead of paying legal fees for playing chicken with a man he had no power over.
Yeah, way more credible on his friend's podcast.
For free.
People looking to lie and be malicious typically want something out of it in return. What does Punk get?
Sure I can.
I have a new haircut, merch and entrance music to go along with it.
Yeah, way more credible on his friend's podcast.
Yeah that makes sense, I just find it odd the way it was written down. He 'can't talk about the Settlement, but he talked about it by mentioning it' kind of way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_penis_rule"...For a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two," said Mr. Friedman. Thus, he continued, libel lawyers have what is known as 'the small penis rule.' One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis, Mr. Friedman said. "Now no male is going to come forward and say, 'That character with a very small penis, that's me!' "
LOL At punk and del rio getting UFC non competes
Cryptic line about NOAH in the Observer this week;
"There is some major news from here brewing."
Also, seems like TMDK may be loaned out to New Japan next year, presumably in return for more talent exchanges. That'll definitely be a boost to the tag division, lots of fresh matches there.
what, tired of seeing KES vs. TenKoji?
Haha Vince's reaction to the UFC having women fight is already great. This will be a good one.
"Regarding the New Japan World press conference on 12/1, it is being described as a TV and Internet connection. The New Japan blogger on the TV-Asahi site (TV-Asahi, which co-owns the New Japan archives is a partner in the project so if its on their site its probably accurate) said it would be like the WWE Network. Weve had some speculation that CMLL may be involved with this since the two promotions are business partners on the tour and Mistico cut a promo for something in Japan a few months back, which may have been for this."
Hnnggg, a NJPW/CMLL WWE Network-like streaming service? Gawd, I hope this is available internationally.
Imagine this being more successful than the Network.
I hope the msm picks up on the doctor/wellness policy issues Punk talked about because that shit really needs to be sorted.
This podcast will spread fast. I have already trouble downloading it.
If anyone has a mirror it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for that. I had thought it odd there wasn't a more effective one stop website for wrestling stuff, although it kinda makes sense since the current WWE ignores the fact the other companies even exist until they buy them.Vince put Shane in charge of WWE.com and he wanted to make the site the home for all wrestling and other things. He wanted to report on other promotions and make it so fans wanted to go to their site for everything. Think bleacher report/grantland for wrasslin and culture. That fell through and then he wanted to revive ECW and make it its own promotion but Vince had guys like Kevin Dunn in his ear talking about how the WWECW brand needed more WWE and that the ECW brand was worthless. Heyman got fucking fired because of the December to Dismember fallout where he wanted to put over punk but Vince liked Bobby Ashley's body and thought that everyone would love him.
That's when Shane realized that Hunter married his way up the food chain and that his dad would never relinquish control and moved on to new ventures.
It's clearer on the podcast, he can't give the dollar figure as that would make WWE look bad for not sending the cheques in the first place. All he can say is he did well out of it.Yeah that makes sense, I just find it odd the way it was written down. He 'can't talk about the Settlement, but he talked about it by mentioning it' kind of way.
Yup, I like his thinking and his promo work more than the actual wrestling. I'd be disappointed if he didn't end up in creative somewhere.And while I think Punk is MASSIVELY overrated in-ring, he's a smart guy and great talker and deserved his spot.
After hearing that podcast, I think I'm going to cancel my network sub
If what he says is true they wanted the shield leader to be big show...LET IT BE KNOW, AND WRITTEN AS THUS. THAT SO, ON THE 27TH OF NOVEMBER IN 2014 THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, THE WRASSLEGAF COMMUNITY FAVORS PHILLIP "CM PUNK" BROOKS ONCE AGAIN.

I wonder, what's the likelihood of Stone Cold bringing this up during his live podcast with Vince next week?
Oh frick, I forgot about that. There's another podcast I have to re-subscribe to.
Maybe CM Punk's interview was a pre-emptive strike in the event that Vince was planning on discussing it and controlling the narrative.
