Support NeoGAF

[Alucard]

"Raw is Generico" gets a thumbs up from me.

Super mild "CM Punk" chants.

This. Crowd. Is. Shit.

 

[Aiii]

Good luck TNA big show with Bully vs Hardy bombed in the ratings. Also, Impact is stuck at Main Event ratings with no signs of growth. The show been good but hasn't attracted a new audience just the same 1.2-1.5 million that watch all the time.

Now imagine Punk showing up on Impact next week.

I'll bet you the ratings would soar. The only reason WCW ever got big is because they had several of the biggest WWF stars come in in the mid-90's.

And no, a drugged out Jeff Hardy doesn't count. Bubba Ray wasn't at the height of his popularity either. You need several top WWE stars to jump ship and people would definitely tune in for that.

 

[Snaku]

Hope Punk grows his hair out during his vacation.

 

[Ithil]

Reign, not end.

 

[Htown]

Seriously, the Heyman heel stable could be huge if they wanted it to be. Lesnar, Punk, and the Shield?

 

[mingoguaya]

I just spotted a neogaf sign!!!

 

[bean breath]

 

[The Frankman]

... Punk sounding pretty face here... or retiring.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

It's all too fast. There's no time to make anyone look good - Swagger loses to Del Rio, Del Rio loses to Ziggler, Ziggler loses to Swagger and then presumably, Swagger loses to Ziggler, Ziggler loses to Del Rio, and so on. None of these guys have been booked all that strongly in my estimation, except maybe Del Rio.

There's PPV every 30 days. There's not much time for them to build huge angles unless it's Wrasslemania.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

That's what he do.

 

[funkystudent]

Calling it now.

Punk is going to "quit"

 

[Kaladin]

Where do you go?

Glass breaks.

 

[Ithil]

There's PPV every 30 days. There's not much time for them to build huge angles unless it's Wrasslemania.

They didn't build any huge angles for WM 29.

 

[joelseph]

Punk looks sleepy

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Calling it now.

Punk is going to "quit"

The jeans gave me the same vibe

They didn't build any huge angles for WM 29.

Well, they had a year long build-up for the one before.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Where do you go?

Glass breaks.

Don't do this..

 

[Dark Ninja]

This crowd fucking sucks

 

[Aiii]

They didn't build any huge angles for WM 29.

Well. One. And they only managed that because Paul Bearer legit died on them.

 

[Mr. Robot]

"I will beat that redneck Austin".... I wanna hear it Punk.

 

[Ultratech]

Now the crowd come alive?

lol

 

[A Pretty Panda]

3 STRAIGHT 3 STRAIGHT 3 STRAIGHT

god damn

 

[Brinbe]

hey, you fucktards finally woke up. about 2 1/2 hours too late

Punk has his 'lost his smile' moment. good, leave this shit behind. We don't deserve you

 

[Htown]

UNDERTAKER

CM PUNK

 

[Snaku]

Now the crowd come alive?

lol

Yeah wth.

 

[Data West]

 

[Ithil]

Well, put Undertaker and Punk on the list of people who can wake up even the worst crowds.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Holy shit, Punk lost his smile.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Heyman is legit shook.

 

[Aiii]

Punk is walking like Khali. He really needs that break.

 

[British Monsoon]

There's PPV every 30 days. There's not much time for them to build huge angles unless it's Wrasslemania.

There's a whole damn year for them to build shit - feuds don't have to be done with in a months time, you can draw it out as long as you need with clever writing, good wrestling and logical booking. It's just lazy. All those damn writers and creative staff? And they're mainly booking stuff on a month to month basis?

Wrestling was better when one person had the book, not a whole department of college grads and hack TV writers with no frame of reference.

 

[McNei1y]

catching up tonight...

I can't believe they gave the US title to Kofi. Fucking Cesaro is getting booked horribly recently.

 

[Kaladin]

That's how you quit? Come on Punk, I expected better than that.

 

[Ilive1up]

and just like that, cm punk is on vacation!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Punk is going to find his final form.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Lol Punk didn't know how to get out of there

 

[Reiko]

Punk lost his smile.

 

[The Frankman]

Heyman is legit shook.

Hey I agree with you. I think this is real guys.

 

[strobogo]

This show actually sounds even worse than people could have predicted after last week.

 

[Kyoufu]

He should have said "When I return, I will challenge the greatest superstar of all time, and I will beat him".

 

[NihonTiger90]

I just spotted a neogaf sign!!!

Where? Who from WrassleGAF is there?

 

[Data West]

This show is the Surfer Sting of Raws

 

[Ithil]

Thanks, Punk, I won't be needing this.

 

[Officerrob]

When do you guys think he's back? Summerslam?

 

[Aiii]

Segment needed more of this:

 

[Kaladin]

This show actually sounds even worse than people could have predicted after last week.

No, I think week after Wrestlemania is traditionally a shit show because in their minds, how can they follow up Raw After Mania?

 

[The Frankman]

... no

you are fucking kidding me

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

When do you guys think he's back? Summerslam?

When's that? August?

 

[Alucard]

Punk expected better from the crowd.

Sad to see him go. See you in a few months, sweet prince.

 

[British Monsoon]

This show is the Surfer Sting of Raws

Come on, it's not anywhere near as good as that.

 

[Htown]

When do you guys think he's back? Summerslam?

Probably. Maybe Survivor Series.
