Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. Punk walking out is a good thing to show Vince and Trips that the way creative is run is horrible and pisses alot of people off, so I can't fault the guy for leaving.
I'd just rather that the crowd hijack the shows by chanting for Bryan, Ziggler and other people they want to see pushed ahead of guys like Orton and Cena. So focus chanting on that, because at least that can force WWE's hand one way or the other.

Another thing with Punk was he's been working hurt for a while now. He mentioned he was getting weekly blood tests and MRI's. So probably just everything made him walk out. I do wonder if Vince is angry or impressed with Punk having the balls to walk out. Vince should be able to sue Punk to depending on how his contract works
It would have been surprised if he didn't have at least major input into his promos. We haven't had anything that good out of the writing team for a long time.
Don't really know how your contracts work over there, WWE doesn't actually employ their talent anyways, they're contracted agents aren't they? I think it's just a case of being "exclusive" to WWE and agreeing to now work elsewhere. So as long as Punk doesn't go elsewhere until his contract runs out, all they can do is not pay him for the work he's not doing.
I think it happens with a few people that only get bullet points and get to do the rest on their own. I know AJ gets to cut her own promo's as well (when they actually let her cut promo's that is). Cena of course doesn't get told what to say and I'm pretty sure the same goes Ambrose.
I'm 100% sure Orton is given his scripts word for word and I'm sure the same goes for Sheamus as well.

meaningless shit.
they bitching about Punk on FB? they'll watch RAW anyway and buy the PPVs and the t-shirts and the videogames and...

I liked how Ibushi sold that lol
I really think Bray delivers his promos naturally, unlike Orton's.
Eh, Santino was getting helluva lot of cheers at that point, for reasons unknown to me. Still, it makes sense for a guy you want to get over further as a heel to eliminate a top dog, rather than somebody who's been lower on the card and fairly irrelevant in the main event scene.
Thats pretty cool to know. Ambrose is one of my favorite people on the mic in the company. I wish he was getting a push over Reigns but obviously he ain't as purty.

Say CM Punk shows up in ROH or New Japan or wherever, how many of those people up in arms about him leaving would actually bother to check out a non-WWE product for their dose of Punk? A lot less than are bitching, I'd wager.
Taking your customers for granted never ends well.

exactly. imagine Punk tweets "hey guys, gonna wrestle for NJPW in the summer!".
99% of the replies will be "what's NJPW? just come back to WWE! <3 #voiceofthevoiceless".
What difference would that make? He wasn't being used the way he liked.
He didn't leave just because of that.
To be fair, Cena did this. How many failed white rappers shticks were there before he made it work?
Stephanie was behind him though.
I was shocked recently when I was chatting to a couple of my Irish mates who are wrestling fans about Devitt and they genuinely had no idea who he was. For most people wrestling doesn't exist outside the WWE.

Often I have no earthly clue what the hell Bray is talking about so I'm going to agree with this, maybe Bray is just too deep for me maaan.

Was that the RVD match? Loved that crowd
i'm this way now. i used to follow roh religiously, then dbrine and punk left. i know a few of the guys who are still there, but i couldnt name anyone in njpw, chikara, or 98% of the tna roster. i also gave up on watching raw live, so im basically down to nxt, and fast forwarding through raw.
You're shocked random people don't know about this Japanese company that doesn't even have English commentary isn't massively followed around the world? Okay, sure.

tap that thorax
I wear wrestling shirts and my game hasn't suffered for it.
She was behind Rob Conway, too.
Man I wish there was a Mac version of Gifcam because it took me way too long to get this right.
Holy shit haha. The work was worth it. They way he just stares into space for a few seconds before falling over is amazing.
"Batista also getting a mixed reaction." as he was getting boo-tista'd.

Can't lie, I'd rather watch "the Con Way" era Conway over any era Rock.

Apparently every match planned for Mania that isn't Bray/Cena is no longer considered official or guaranteed after the Creative meetings Thursday and Friday, and "anything is possible." Also Vince is personally handling the Punk situation, and officials are pissed that the story got out to the public. That's all per PWInsider Elite, which I'm not sure if they're regarded highly around here.
PWI and F4W are pretty much the only places you can believe as far as rumors go, and even then it's debatable. Torch is okay I guess, though hardly ever breaks news. WrestleZone is bullshit added to legit news from F4W and PWI and SEScoops on occassion has an exclusive that proves to be correct. All the rest is just copy/paste bs and live reports from people at events.

Kevin Garnett showing up at WM confirmed.
I like to think this is Orton parodying himself - even when he puts on the STF, it's a resthold.
Boggles my mind how no one in current pro wrestling seems to be able to apply a STF correctly. Just watch Chono videos! >=(

Thanks Bootaaay!!! Much obliged
I was worried I wouldn't enjoy because I wouldn't understand what the commentary was saying but the way they emote I pretty much followed and was better than hearing Michael Cole scream "OHHH MYYY!" or annoyingly stress his enunciation during his offtopic banter when a big move happens

Wonder why Bray/Cena is the only match off-limits.
