Yes, that is a CM Punk figure and those are Ryback figures.

I wouldn't say she doesn't need the money. It's not like she's on CM Punk money. Punk made millions from 2011-2013, the Divas aren't paid much, even when AJ is the top Diva. It's her livelihood.
Punk said he got everything he wanted out of the settlement and then some. I'm assuming it pretty much set him and his family for life. Other than going to a few Blackhawks playoff games every once in a while, I don't believe he's an extravagant spender. He will always get royalty checks and a cut of merchandise sales from the WWE and is now writing for Marvel.

It's just weird that her husband would stay a company where they didn't give a shit about his husband life and almost got him killed. Is the extra money really worth it? Sorry if I sound shitty by questioning her motive but it's incomprehensible. I'd be fucking pissed off and quit as well.

Sure, but who is to say AJ wants to sponge off her husband for life?

Not everyone wants to just live off their spouses money. She's what? Like 27? What is she supposed to do with the rest of her life? It's probably not ideal but it's probably (and unfortunately) what keeps almost everyone eventually coming back. Career options are slim in this industry, especially for a woman.

I think AJ's got enough charisma/looks/talent to succeed outside of wrestling. She could become bigger in the way Stacy Kiebler or Trish Stratus did.

Match of the year and forever. Jim Ross said it ages ago that this match was Punk making a statement to Vince that they made a mistake not putting him in the main event of WM.

That piledriver was ridonculous.

Cena did a great job of making Punk's stuff look good, and Punk does a great job at drawing versatility from Cena. Punk and Umaga were Cena's best opponents.

Can Ryback just replace the social media douche WWE has? Then we get all Ryback positives and none of the negatives, like him being on camera or wrestling at all.

Meh

Fuck that Ryback tweet. He legit dropped the guy on fucking concrete, not really cool to joke about regardless of whether you think Punk is an asshole or not.

She could make a living taking instagram selfies like her buddy Kaitlyn.

I feel bad for Punk. "If I work really really hard to put my feuds over and have the best matches, they will put me in the Mania main event"

WWE:lol

Well to be fair WWE was heading in that direction with the summer of punk stuff. You would think WWE would capitalize on the younger talent meanwhile keeping their current product pg for sponsors. Yet, Vince will be Vince. I still mourn over the TLC picture of champions :(

This was suppose to be the future of the wwe :(

I was at the Raw the next night... the crowd was so hype.

Stacy's mostly dated guys like Clooney. Even Torrie Wilson's been in the limelight because of Alex Rodriguez. Trish was a fitness girl before she entered wrestling so it makes sense to see where she is now. It's surely not impossible, but it also isn't a big deal if they're happy and content.

Also would nominate Edge as Cena's best feud/opponent. I would say it isn't even close.

As far as I can tell, Cesaro and Ryback are the only WWE people who have acknowledged this on Twitter. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

They all listened to it and will discuss it among themselves, really no reason to go on Twitter and piss of your boss.

Ryback is used to being on Superstars and Cesaro already knows how Vince looks at him so I see them not giving a fuck.

Besides, Ryback will just delete his tweets anyways.

Edge is a good one as well, I put him up there with Umaga.

HBK was also surprisingly good, given how mediocre I think he is.

I wonder if Vince and Hunter were expecting Punk to call them asking to come back after seeing what happened with WrestleMania or something. Dumb as fuck, but so dumb as fuck that it's believable.

Also lol at people thinking Cesaro is going to be buried by WWE for retweeting the podcast. What are they gonna do, have him face Swagger in a pre-show match at a PPV and job in 5 minutes?

Oh wait.
 
You guys really are overstating the importance of CM Punk to the WWE, he wasn't exactly a massive draw and for him to compare himself to The Rock, Undertaker and John Cena is a joke if you ask me.

They'll JTG him :/

I bet that was part of it. They just expected him to go home for a few weeks and cool off and come crawling back.


Also people wondering why AJ stayed around. I bet once it was clear Punk was never coming back they made sure AJ didn't walk out the door as well and made sure she stuck around.

They have her the entire summer off for the wedding which is basically uncalled for in WWE.

Her contract is also meant to be up at the end of the year so it seems like the smart thing to avoid more legal bullshit between both parties would be for her to work the few months until her deal is up and call it quits.


I just hope she blasts the marks chanting "CM PUNK" every match before she leaves. I expect her to do a "this shit is dumb, I QUIT" promo any RAW now so I hope she does it as part of that.

You seem to be missing the main point, that the reason he isn't on Undertaker's level is because WWE continually botched his booking and booked part timers to go over him, cementing him as below their level.
He could have surpassed Cena in 2011 had they run with him, instead they shunted him to second place.

I doubt they'll let her do a I Quit promo without some bullshit like the bellas coming out and nicki pushing her while brie make sure she doesn't support her fall.

Who cares? I'm seeing this sentiment all around the internet. People listened to that entire podcast and all they picked up on was that CM Punk thinks he's as big as Cena and Undertaker? For real?

And my point is that the reason why he wasn't on that level is because he just wasn't as good as the guys I mentioned. His promo work was great (when he didn't spill over into the worked-shoot bollocks) but he looked like shite and I really found it hard to take him seriously against bigger guys. I'm not a steroid lover btw, hell even Daniel Bryan looks athletic. To me, Punk just looked like a kid pretending to be a wrestler.

Because it justifies all the marks saying that CM Punk was the best thing since sliced bread, when he was a million miles away from that.

Oh you bet your ass it will come after jobbing to a Bella in some degrading way or another and after the promo both bella's will just stand around clapping like the personalityless succubuses they are.
