a thing that's happened before

Max Landis's story ideas, ladies and gentlemen.

still better than "a thing that happened last week, and the one before, and the one before, and the one before"

 

[Verendus]

I just googled Raw and apparently no Barack on Raw this week. When is the HellCell program starting? I think it's about time.

Nothing is better than Kane dragging Rollins to hell. Nothing.

 

[imBask]

seriously, if Brock doesn't have 2 matches a week against Taker for a month before the PPV, how am I supposed to understand the storyline?

 

[Caderfix]

Funnily enough, I'm not viewing it as CM Punk vs anyone, I'm viewing it as Dana White vs Expectations. He has to carefully toe the line where Punk doesn't get beat, but the fight doesn't look like a gimme.

However there's always a dipshit out there, see people betting on Correia over Rousey

I don't think anyone that got a contract with UFC due to their abilities and MMA background would lose to Punk, unless the fight is bought. I might be proved wrong though, who knows.

And there's always that possibility...

 

[BronsonLee]

Everyone on planet earth should know that Punk dies in UFC

Shut up imbask!

I want more Heyman exposing Undertaker promos while Barack stands by his side. Don't try to deny me what I deserve.

 

[imBask]

Punk is gonna win his first fight guys

i'm serious, i'll bet anyone here a $10 game on steam

Shut up imbask!

sorry pal, no time to fit Heyman in that tight schedule!

 

[Perspicacity]

I am willing to make a one month avatar bet on CM Punk winning his first Ultimate Fighting bout right here and now.

This Saturday, from Madison Square Garden in New York City, live only on the WWE Network: Undertaker will make Brock suffer the greatest humiliation - losing to Big Show.

You think he'll win? Hmmmm.

HMMMMM

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Didn't realise Jonathan Barber was the indie anti-piracy goon. Quite amusing, I'm pretty sure he was an uploader on XWT back in the day, lol.

haha I'm sure that's happened before

 

[Sanjuro]

Will he be facing Howard Finkle?

 

[Sephzilla]

You think he'll win? Hmmmm.

HMMMMM

Don't make the bet Sunny.

You know UFC is going to throw their equivalent to Glass Joe against Punk.

jesus christ

I had thankfully forgotten this. You poisoned my mind again.

I know, but I also know Punk isn't any better than Von Kaiser. So it could be two of them.

I will take this bet.

 

[Data West]

Wonder how them other young UFC guys feel about t his part timer getting to take all the time he needs before his match and still doing getting paid to do press and interviews for the company

 

[Perspicacity]

CM Punk was a great wrestler and often had hourlong bouts. That sort of conditioning should serve him well in the octagonal circle.

 

[slightconfuse]

Eh punk could probably 30-27 some one who is a low level man fighter

 

[Dick Justice]

Don't make the bet Sunny.

They'll have him fight the guy who kicked Dave Batista's ass.

he got cardio, and from what we've seen he's been training very hard. He will win his first fight without a doubt

I think I have an idea after Nate Diaz interview about Punk in UFC. Nate Diaz doesn't sound credible and I'm not a fan of his at all, but the way he sees this situation is actually spot on imo

 

[Angry Grimace]

Don't make the bet Sunny.

So Punk can be the 1 in 1-99 then

 

[Menome]

So...that was the ending to RAW this week, huh?

After a great start to the night, it all just ended up limping worse than Kane.

 

[Sephzilla]

[somedevil]

Here is Preliminary Summerslam buyrate:

150-200,000 bought Summerslam and 76,000 bought Battleground.

So it seems Brock is a draw for people to bye the pay per views for Normal Price and not 9.99.

Plus as for the Ratings:

8pm: 3.476
9pm: 3.326
10pm: 3.188

Avg: 3.33

Ouch at the 3rd hour.

 

[Pavaloo]

what if Punk's fights become rigged, but without his own knowledge

like a homer stonecutter scenario

 

[slightconfuse]

Considering that punk will draw a better guys are that every ufc fighter not named Ronda or connor. Most fighters should have no complaints

 

[avengers23]

What's different about a British doorstep???

It has health insurance. Or, it has sexually violated a pig.

 

[Caderfix]

They'll have him fight the guy who kicked Dave Batista's ass.

Batista won that one though. But, yeah, seeing a brick house like Batista being beaten the whole time and winning in a... not convincing way (I'm being generous), was weird

You think the fighters will see any of the money that's based on the gate?

Business is business, but people don't tend to like that. Like Punk, for example, when he kept on crying about Rock taking his "spot".

 

[blackaroni]

Damn, Rollins killed the third hour.

 

[Caderfix]

I'm not saying Brock doesn't sell, but Summerslam is WAY more important than Battleground

I mean, they're not selling anything interesting happening in the third hour...what do you think they expect?

Wait'll you see a skinny fatass like Punk, who actually lost almost all his muscle mass, stand up to a worthless cunt fighter.

 

[Jimmy King]

SummerSlam buyrate can be credited to four men:

-Brock Lesnar
-Undertaker
-Jon Stewart
-Vince McMahon

 

[Caderfix]

in what year? Summerslam has lost its edge.

Don't you know this year's Summerslam was the best ever? Ask HHH and Steph, brah

 

[Anth0ny]

can punk get his shit stomped and come crawling back to fake fighting already

 

[somedevil]

I meant that Brock was on Battleground and it drew the highest buys for a B show. So when he wrestles on pay per views people are interested in his matches.

I wonder if Sting will have that affect.

 

[Verendus]

I remember Summerslam because I've been counting how many times Undertaker has kicked Barack in the dick.

Dick Kick 1 was at Battleground.
Dick Kick 2 was at Summerslam.
Dick Kick 3 will likely be at HellCell.

The trilogy will be complete.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Probably not, he didn't spike the ratings, sad truth is this was all 15 years too late.

 

[Caderfix]

I can't even imagine how huge HHH's shit eating grimm will be if that happens, that is, if he indeed hates Punk as much as Punk says he does

 

[Dick Justice]

I can't even imagine how huge HHH's shit eating grimm will be if that happens, that is, if he indeed hates Punk as much as Punk says he does

He'd have Punk star in the Chaperone 2.

 

[Professor Beef]

I'm sure he doesn't.
