What is the point of Punk outside of the context of wrestling? Why are people enabling this?
I still can't believe the WWE fucked up the Network so badly. They could have just done a straight Netflix thing whereby they offered a large portion of their video library for $10 a month, and they still could have kept their PPV business separate, and they would have made even more money.
Instead, they offer barely anything from their library, killed one of their revenues streams, and the idea was that the network would serve as leverage during TV negotiations.
LOL!

I like people who are happy. He's happy. And I've always personally enjoyed hearing people talk about stuff they like and are interested in as long as them actually talking about it isn't boring.
I'd be all over a Punk podcast, even if he was just talking about the Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bears for an hour once a week.

And Bullet Club explodes in Bad Luck Fale vs. Doc Gallows!
Punk is a grumpy asshole in real life.
They also need to remove the spoilers from the chapter names. Trying to find certain matches on old PPVs by reading the captions for the "chapters" will likely spoil the finish of the match you're trying to watch.
I don't know. I I really don't give a shit about the guy if it is outside of the context of wrestling. There are probably better people I can listen to about basically any topic he can possibly talk about that isn't wrestling.

A charismatic good talker on a Podcast talking about nerdy things he likes?
How can you not see the point?

The Network really needs old episode of Superstars. You just don't get promos like this anymore! Bob Holly is WIde Open!
Can you imagine discussions about marks' discussions about CM Punk?

That is what used to be standard British Indy wrestling ring size, and still is for the smaller companies. The last few years there have been larger rings floating around that the larger promotions mostly use now.
So I was flipping through this months Edge, and there's a feature about game hacking that has some brief discussion and interviews on the No Mercy hacking scene. Cool stuff.

I, for one, am not surprised that the Network is such a colossal failure. With the exception of WWE Studios, this wretched company has made fools out of themselves every time they've attempted to step out of their area of core competence.
For a company that is so ashamed of being pro rasslin, it's really remarkable to see just how incompetent they are at everything else.

They aren't very competent at pro wrest..excuse me, "sports entertainment" either...
Is Book really wearing dad jeans and cow boy boots? I expect more out of you, sucka.

People hate the greatest of all time. They see how easy it was for him to move on from them, and it hurts. It's okay, we rise above hate, and we stand tall and proud of Friend Punk.
They shouldn't have launched the network without the content they initially said they would launch with. They kept revising their launch content to be more and more vague to the point to where it was only select episodes of back TV.
People expected to log in and binge watch past years of wrasslin, in one go....not wait as they slowly add content to the service day by day.
They haven't even got to 1995 yet, or Nitro.

Probably because JR and Austin talk about wrestling and to other wrestlers. Austin also talks to actors since he is also an actor. JR talks with real professional athletes since he also has a back ground in calling real sports. Punk to start one and not talk about wrestling at all and pretend that isn't the only thing he's known for would be pretty weird.
They're into July of 1995 for Raw.
Ah....then they're near the attitude era, or at the beginning of it, which is certainly what they highlighted in their advertising leading up to the launch.
It's ok to talk about I just don't hink he has anything interesting to contribute. JR and Stone Cold are way more entertaining plus they do actually also talk about wrestling. I'd never watch a hunting program.
On the Network: Also not having your current RAW and Smackdown shows on there after they aired is just dumb.

If Allah wills it.
Fair enough, but from what I understand there are some legal issues ongoing and that is why he is avoiding mentioning WWE still. Not sure if that is why, but there you go.
Then again, Goldberg's podcast also isn't about wrestling much at all, so it's not unprecedented.
so what is generally considered the birth of the attitude era here on GAF?

Stone Cold/Bret SS 96?
The stone cold uberfacts about rats thing had me rollin' personally.
"YOU GOTTA GIVE THAT SUMBITCH A HIPTOSS OF ABOUT FIFTY FEET OR YOU GON' EXPOSE THE BUSINESS"
Wrestlemania 13 for me, but the building blocks were coming together in 1995 with Austin finally debuting late in the year.

Friend Heel, promise me that you'll never post the hall of fame song (t=1m15s) in reference to CM Punk. All I ask of you.
Ah yeah, I actually remember that. The "no more good guys and bad guys" speech.
AKA - WWE's greatest era came after Vince realized his ideas didn't work anymore
I think you could really say it started when Goldust debuted. Or at various points in 1995 really. Diesel promos where Vince called him Kevin Nash. Bret's promos leading up to his match with Nash at Rumble 1995. Bret's promo on episode 112 of Raw where he comes out (in jorks and his jacket) and among other things calls King a son of a bitch and lower than shit and has to be pulled off by refs, Vince, and agents.
Or KOTR 1996 and REAL ASS Stone Cold. Definitely in the swing of things by the time Bret was on Raw screaming about how things are bullshit and getting into a fight with Vince.

No worries, BIONIC. He doesn't have the votes needed to qualify, especially on the first ballot.
That's probably the thing I was most interested in and it's still not there.

Do you think a campaign to Spike to bring back MXC reruns in October and put it in place of TNA's time would work? I would actually regularly watch Spike again if it worked.
