Of course he was calling Booker stupid. It was hilarious. That whole set with Jericho is one of Jericho's favorite career moments for a reason.

Booker lived to win Titles. Just like Kane survived being called a "big red retard", just like Big Show survived being called a 500lbs bag of monkey crap, just like Hunter survived being called a boring, big nosed brown-noser. The only talents that were "ethered" were under-talented performers who couldn't get their heat back, like Billy Gunn.

The biggest difference between a Rock promo and a Cena promo is Rock sells intensity. He never let's you forget that he wants to fight the guy. His work with Cena was hit or miss at best, but I saw more classic Rock in the Punk feud.

I think the other reason I was not a big fan of the Rock/Booker T feud is because the WWE were pretty much burying any talent they carried over from the acquisition. I remember joking at the time that had Sting gone over with the rest of the WCW guys, Vince would have jobbed him out to Crash Holly.
In any event, I wasn't a fan of the Rock/Booker T angle. Had Booker been a bit more established with the roster at the time, maybe it wouldn't have bothered me as much.

Also, this crowd has been the shits. Announcer chants, CM Punk chants. Just the worst.

They need to have Bryan do that at Extreme Rules.

 

[PInk Tape]

The same can be said for wrestling shirts, might as well go all the way

If sports fans can wear their teams' jerseys, then I should be able to wear a cape or a wrestling shirt or a cape with a wrestling shirt.
It's all the same if you really think about it.

Every mark crowd wants to be a smark crowd nowadays.

So, Cesaro vs Barrett in the final and Swagger costs Cesaro the match? Then we get Barrett/Big E and Swagger/Cesaro at the PPV? Cool?

The card right now looks like this:

Bryan vs Kane
Evolution vs Shield
Cesaro vs Swagger
Big E vs Barrett
Paige vs AJ
Cena vs Bray

 

[bean breath]

I wish they just called the moves what they are. It's so embarrassing watching wrestling with people who aren't totally into it, and Cole's yelling his lungs out about Bro Kicks and Attitude Adjustments.

Really, that's the part that's embarassing? The names?

Really?

 

[BassForever]

Random CM Punk chant?

 

[Ripclawe]

I refuse to bolieve that ziggler vs barrett is trending anywhere

 

[NastyBook]

But you're gonna look like a tool running around with a cape in public.

That's a sauntering cape, friend-o. You wear that in public after you've laid it down on the missus (or the mister).

There's no getting around that WCW was jobbed out to WWE, I just think that's more on Vince and creative than Rock (who was just doing what Rock always did).

When will CM Punk chants finally stop?

Will people still chant it in 2020?

 

[serenewarfare]

Every mark crowd wants to be a smark crowd nowadays.

Yeah, but the real smark crowds (like last week) know how not to be assholes and can respect the show. And when they do random or creative chants, they actually have merit and make sense.

 

[Data West]

Boooooooooooooooooring

 

[Ithil]

The card right now looks like this:

Bryan vs Kane
Evolution vs Shield
Cesaro vs Swagger
Big E vs Barrett
Paige vs AJ
Cena vs Bray

Cesaro vs Big E you mean.

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

The card right now looks like this:

Bryan vs Kane

Cesaro vs Swagger

ughhh

 

[Showaddy]

Is this real?

 

[Officerrob]

The card right now looks like this:

Bryan vs Kane

Cesaro vs Swagger
Big E vs Barrett
Paige vs AJ
Cena vs Bray

It's a good thing they are not relying on PPV buys anymore

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

A bunch of tools. Everyone who chant CM Punk even after Wrestlemania. No value in it ever.

 

[Mengetsu]

When will CM Punk chants finally stop?

Will people still chant it in 2020?

Then, now, forever.

 

[TimeEffect]

So 3MB vs Shield?

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Wrestling Shirts > MMA Shirts (Tapout, Ed Hardy, etc.) > Fucking capes >>>>>>>>>>>> MLP shirts.

Fixed

 

[darkside31337]

Wasteland is such a shit finisher even Ziggler wouldn't sell it.

 

[Serpentine]

Also, this crowd has been the shits. Announcer chants, CM Punk chants. Just the worst.

It hasn't been been that bad, like Omaha levels. at least they're into most things.

If sports fans can wear their teams' jerseys, then I should be able to wear a cape or a wrestling shirt or a cape with a wrestling shirt.

A cape is fine. There are some good wrestling shirts. But a cape AND a wrestling shirt? you're just asking for trouble now

 

[Data West]

You'll like him after he's dead.

Doubt it. I still don't like Warrior.

 

[worldrunover]

When will CM Punk chants finally stop?

When will "what" stop? SC retired ten years ago.

 

[Sephzilla]

Kids voices in the CM Punk chants. Should let you know that the chant is dead.

 

[krae_man]

Ziggler with the Umaga special.

 

[serenewarfare]

I refuse to believe that Bryan vs. Kane, a match that was on Main Event a few weeks back, will main event a PPV in 2014. Won't happen.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

When with "what" stop? SC retired ten years ago.

What?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Fixed

I lost an avatar bet.

 

[FyreWulff]

Man, having hands on Ziggler's butt would be a good night

 

[somedevil]

Cesaro vs Big E you mean.

They could do that but I bet Swagger interfers to cost him the match.

It's a good thing they are not relying on PPV buys anymore

The card is not bad at all in my opinion.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I see people trying to make up stuff about the rock in here. Hmmmmm

 

[Vylash]

This match rocks

 

[Uno Venova]

When will CM Punk chants finally stop?

Will people still chant it in 2020?

It's like people forget how popular he was.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

C'mon son

There's nothing racist about Rocky's jokes on Booker T. If anything the "short bus" comment is more about special education kids than anything. He's just making Booker look like an idiot.

 

[Phatmac]

Glad to see both these guys have a long fight to almost close out the night.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I refuse to believe that Bryan vs. Kane, a match that was on Main Event a few weeks back, will main event a PPV in 2014. Won't happen.

Excuse yourself, "Special Event" is what we call them in these parts.

Total fucking sabotage for that to happen.

 

[Big One]

ALl these false finishes. Honestly have no clue who's winning now.

 

[truly101]

Winds of change is a stupid name, just call it the big boss slam.

 

[BassForever]

What was the crowd just chanting there?

 

[Master Thespian]

That was a sweet Bossman Slam.

 

[worldrunover]

Hey guys how does Dolph keep kicking out of moves that aren't Barrett's finisher?

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

I lost an avatar bet.

That sucks, I apologize.

 

[Serpentine]

It took a repackaging but the elbow finally looks good

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Man, having hands on Ziggler's butt would be a good night

 

[SyaraSystem]

good match

 

[TheChits]

Great match

 

[Moa]

What was the crowd just chanting there?

This is awesome.

EDIT: I assume this tournament thing isn't all happening on this RAW? Not enough time :/
