You know what, that is fucking creepy..screw that guy.

Then again the only wrestlers I have met are DDP (who is awesome and I did Yoga with) and Tommry Dreamer.

I've seen wrestlers live but the only one I met, well spoke to at work was Bret Hart and he was great.

Now comes the part where people take sides based on the wrestler they like the most.

Not exactly a fair fight considering the two involved.

As for Ryback, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he was green as fuck and dangerous in the ring. Also, I hope he's not pulling the "slander" card because of Punk saying he uses steroids, because nobody believes he's not juicing

Thought he said he was finished, said his goodbye's to HHH and Vince, then walked away? Was that not him quitting?
Click to expand...

It was but to Vince and HHH it was a lolyoujokeryou! moment when they ended up calling Punk again shortly after.

For Vince you never get the last word, he does. That's why when Austin left years ago, it hurt Vince a lot because Vince was not given the opportunity to end it on his terms when Steve went AWOL.

Vince definitely didn't want that with Punk.

Oh man I love Kofi's response to people laughing at him for fucking that up. "You don't know everything man, it was all part of the story man"

What happened was clear as day.

Dude first started in WWE's development system back in like 2005 and he's still shit, one would think that after nearly a decade they would've completely thrown in the towel on him.

He was willing to comeback and instead was fired on his wedding day.

What punk is saying should not surprise anyone. If you get over without the WWE backing you they try to bury you. When Bart Gun beat Doctor Death they punished him by throwing him in with a pro boxer who idiots wouldn't consider to be a real fighter and got his head knocked off. Gun offered to throw the fight, WWE said he didn't have to, then when he wins they make sure to embarrass him on the biggest stage in wrestling while putting him in a dangerous position. Bryan got over and they fed him to Sheamus at a big show and it back fired on them badly. And they still did all they could to not have to push Bryan into the ME. And the greatest example of WWE burying someone is Ryder. He was white hot when they did everything possible to make him look like a wimp, simp, and a chump.

And in regards to medical and injuries the WWE will never change. The wellness policy is bullshit. Sometimes they will bust guys to try and make it look legit. Meanwhile it obvious that Cena is roiding and nothing happens to him.

Cena is much less cut up then he was when he debuted. He was a pro bodybuilder before he got into wrestling (so was Sting BTW). I don't think Cena's on the gas.
 
Anyone have a transcript of Punk talking about the piss test and guys "working off strikes" or whatever.

Like... its obvious the Wellness policy has been watered down the last few years but it would totally explain why we havent had any new strikes in years.

Sounds like if you have any strikes and your a good boy for long enough they go away, which is against what their wellness policy actually states. The two main guys who could be fired for drugs would be Orton and Rey both with two (Official) strikes. So my guess he is talking about Orton when he goes into that rant.
 
FStop7 said:
And this is exactly why Brock is toxic. Putting him over like that at WM was the stupidest thing the WWE has done in ages because, of course, Brock then promptly vanished - along with the title.
Click to expand...

To be fair though, Brock is a monster. His presence looms over everything and no matter how good anyone else is, I think most fans appreciate how Brock is seriously a bad ass dude. His intensity is on another level. Even though The Rock is easily the greatest there ever was, even he doesn't cut as imposing a figure as Brock.

Doesn't mean I even like Brock, but as a bystander, I view Brock like Akuma from street fighter. He only appears when there is a worthy challenge and a fight to the death. His WWE power level is so far off the charts after thrashing Cena that it makes sense that he would disappear thematically. Compare that to Batista who is a big dude but isn't the same kind of presence as Brock, or even Cena who everyone knows will win not because of his innate ability to hustle, but due to him kissing Vinces ass for the better part of a decade.

Given how much Rey wants out, he should just say he's been told to get on the gas.

Didnt Ryback also have some strikes as well?

But I guess he had a release somewhere in-between so I dont know how that figures into things.
 
the wellness policy is only in name, they are all on something

I really don't mind either way. As long as they are safe about it, then do it up.
 
Ryback's second statement is sort of sad. Does it matter how much time he spends practicing promos and watching old matches if the only way he has ever gotten over is by being the silent monster who has 30-second matches?

Im pretty sure that resets everything because someone hit three strikes but some technicality caused them not to fire the person and just suspend them. I think it was Orton or Booker T one of them hit three strikes, I can't remember off the top of my head. But pretty much if it isn't announced publicly on the website they don't seem to count it as a wellness violation. No way is RVD clean long enough to consistently pass those tests. They obviously play favorites or know who to test to get clean results if they have to meet some sort of quota.

Yeah I always likened Brock to Shao Kahn, the big bad final boss of the WWE, sitting on the throne looming over everyone.

The Wellness program is a sham. It's a front to satiate investors and the media that the WWE takes the health of their employees seriously when they actually employ selective enforcement and political pressure to have their talent jeopardize their health and well-being to put their bodies through inhumane physical torture without rest for 365 days out of the year.
 
Has anyone been officially suspended on the Wellness Policy since that one time they suspended Ricardo Rodriguez in 2013? I guess with the injuries they've been having since then they wouldn't be actively working to get even more people off the roster.

Yeah, Mr. Decade of Green isn't a side to this story. He is just a dumb shit.

Really hope Stone Cold does bring it up on Monday. He would if it was his regular podcast, but the network one might handcuff him a little.
 
FStop7 said:
Punk was apparently also a cock to Dan Ryckert (Punk mentioned he loved Punch Out, Ryckert asked if he'd beaten Tyson, Punk gave him a really shit-nosed and sarcastic answer), too. But that doesn't make me doubt anything Punk says about the WWE. There's too much corroboration from other wrestlers over the years as to how things are done there. It's a shitty company to work for if you're talent.
Click to expand...

Punk, I think, is just a guy with a low tolerance for what he perceives is BS. I got to interview him, briefly, at a THQ wrestling game event and jokingly asked him if he'd prefer the money in the bank briefcase contained actual money rather than a contract. He paused for a moment and shot me a look of naked hatred before answering with the company line that this was better than money in the bank.

Now this was an innocuous question asked to a pro wrestler at an event he was getting well-paid to attend. And I'm positive both THQ and the WWE prompted the wrestlers to be ready for dumb, jokey, or uninformed questions.

I think this attitude colors a lot of what he says. But I think his reasoning is solid. He'd had enough and walked. I can't blame him and know the move is better for his mental and physical health. And I'm excited to see what he does with Thor.

Just look at CM punks title reign over 2012.

He was champion yet wasn't in the main event for most ppv. It was Cena mainly with his feud with the rock. Then Cena with his feud with John Laurinatus and Lesnar. Then Lesnar and Triple H.

Are you sure you didn't say it like "Hey PHIL, tell me what you'd rather have in the briefcase"? Lol

Wouldn't Linda be Sheeva and Steph would be Mileena? Only going by genealogy of course considering Linda is out of the picture. Also I have no idea who Kintaro and Motaro are although off the top of my head they are big centaur things. I'm really not going past MK3 ish or even the reboot for that matter.

Whichever sycophantic suck up is the current raw general manager is Quan Chi

This was before the podcast was released and everyone's reactions are in the later stages of the thread.

Yeah, saw it when it was posted. "I interrupt him while he's waiting in a queue, and then when he doesn't respond I take pictures of him anyway". What a dick.

Yeah, no.

Ryder was never going to make it. Kudos to the guy for getting himself noticed, but he was never good enough in any way to be 'the guy.' The best wrestlers can make even awful booking work, and he was exposed in that Kane angle as a terrible actor and promo.

As for the concussions... when Kaval wrestled Ziggler at Survivor Series and kicked him FULL ON in the face, I brought up how reckless it was online. Everyone who replied told me it was okay, that Ziggler was selling, that Ziggler was tough etc. This company is absolutely ridiculous.

And bonus props to Kofi for his 'I've trained' don't try this at home videos. They cut away from his kick there because it probably knocked the guy out.

He doesn't have to be the guy. He should have been a mid to upper guy for years. Make tons of money via merchandise and just be a part of the go to talent. Instead, he got burned and buried. He deserves much better than where he is at now.
