Matches? In my Sports Entertainment?!?!
DQs do not sate the Ryback.
a) public wouldn't appreciate it over Cenajokes and b) heel promos that good cannot exist with no face promo talent. Also, WWE prefers to spread talent thin.He'll go full heel.
Lawler isn't fed the "he turned his back on the WWE universe"-line if Punk stays face or goes tweener. Just doesn't happen. He was given that line for one single reason, to put over the fact that Punk is now a bad guy.
What you should be worried about is if this turn only happens for one reason: to get the belt on Cena as soon as possible. But even that is a stretch, but it really depends on wether they want to go Cena/Rock at WrestleMania (meaning Rock/Punk at the Rumble) or Punk/Rock
(punk-rock, dat pun)
I'd like to think they'll give Punk a one-year run. Whatever they're planning though, they've been planning for a while now. But there's no doubt that Punk is full-heel based on how they put the ending of last week's Raw over. Punk first did nothing when Show was beating on Cena and then had him beat up The Rock as well. That's nowhere near tweener anymore.
Will mark so hard if Punk's promos involve slights at how shitty Big Show's heel promos are. Fingers crossed he pulls a, "So what?!".
'Once in a lifetime','Never Before Never Again' all BS!i hope they have punkrock at mania without cena interfering
Oh he'll main event but in a triple threat with cena,i fear
You don't need to repeat what I've been saying in this thread for the past week, but this is WWE we're talking about. They will fuck anything up.
Fear not for the match but what follows after i.e. cena's title reign,ugh
Exactly don't want that to repeat,rather have rock or heel punk as champ

Where Cena will beat him for the title.
Also, if they are turning Punk full heel, I feel they'll have to have him do something more heelish than failing to help John Cena, attacking Rock and attempting to retain his title, not by cheating, but by taking advantage of the situation.
...it's a great opportunity to drop Cena's divorce in a Punk promo. Oh gosh fingers crossed.

Anyone know when henry's back?
Smackdown is pretty grimmage without him.

Nope,but i thought he'd be there for sure at raw 1000
It's been playing in my mind ever since it happened. I hope he drops that bomb lol.
Cena and Punk seem pretty buddy-buddy out of the ring, but goddamnit this would be amazing. I want to see how the crowd reacts the most.

I'm hopeful it means they want to bring him straight back into the title hunt, if he had his comeback at raw1000 he'd have been lost in ths shuffle.
Worried about the recent comments he made about possibly having to retire due to the groin injury depending on how the surgery he had went.

Smackdown is coming to Indianapolis on Tuesday. Gonna go with a friend and will do my best to post Smackdown spoilers. My first wrassling event since ECW back in, like, 2000? Or an old PPV (I think Backlash?) in Chicago years ago. Ought to be more fun now that I actually follow what the hell is going on!
Young Michael Cole wasn't fat either...
Yeah, had to edit. Young Cole wasn't out of shape, just looked like a geek, then tried to look like a kid who listened to the Backstreet Boys.

I was thinking dx
Heidenreich was more...a return on karma for what his future self would do
or maybe that experience made him into the monster he is today
His name is Jonathan Coachman
close friends get to call him JC(providing it's with dignity).

Davey Richards showing some real class - indy wrestler Jaysin Strife has been tweeting about how he was meant to face Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly last night in the main event for a small Iowa indy, APW. He and the other members #TeamAmbition, Kyle O'Reilly & Tony Kozina, arrived an hour late while the show was in progress, bullied the teenage promoter into paying them up front and while Strife and his tag partner made their way out to the ring, Richards, O'Reilly & Kozina went to get "wrist tape" from their car and promptly left without wrestling. Here's what Strife had to say after the impromptu main event, in which he wrestled his tag partner Derek Cornell;

Plus, a couple of comments from Strife's twitter that he says are from his conversation with Davey before he bolted;
On Kevin Steen; "I tell Steen he's awful all the time, and he knows it, he's only over with the crowd for all the wrong reasons."
On CM Punk; "Punk is only confidence and that makes people believe he is the best, [but] he can't work for shit."
Also, here's a trailer for recently released shoot interview with Richards, in which he shits on ROH, Gabe Sapolsky, Kevin Steen & Jim Cornette;

Because of his old catchphrase, I can't stop associating Ryback with Ducky from The Land Before Time. I've tried to stop, mind you, but the link is too strong for me at this point.

Best teams wwe can put together right now.
Although I don't think Styles wants to go back to commentary - I assume he is one of the many who can't stand vince's livebabble

im probably going to watch the fist hour and the last 30 minutes. watch the rest some other tme
Let's say each hour gets 44 minutes of television time - 44x3 = 132 minutes. Of those 132 minutes, 90 minutes should be actual wrestling.
But we know it will be the exact opposite.
