I'm the realest man in the room
Sounds like my dilemma with WWE lately. I find myself being more of a NJPW fanboy than anything else.

Silicon Valley is a fantastic show. Haven't watched the second season but I will marathon it this weekend.
The dick joke in the first season is the greatest dick joke ever seen on tv.

My favorite part of Silicon Valley is recognizing one of the dudes as the guy who gets charcoal bombed in Transformers by Lockdown

LOL "Philip Brooks" UFC jersey.
Seriously, this Reebok UFC gear is ugly as sin. Bowling shoe ugly, if you will.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated, one of the longest running pro wrestling magazines, announced this week that the publication is no longer recognizing the TNA World Championship as a World Title. The magazine announced going forward it will only be recognizing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as a World Title.

But what about the ROH World Championship or the NWA World Heavyweight Championship? Or the PWG World Championship?
I'm sorry but that's straight up bullshit. There are other promotions that have title belts that truly matter like the IWGP belt, ROH belt, and even the NWA championship. This WWE circlejerk within the media is becoming tiresome when there's other promotions out there.

No one gives a shit about PWI tho
That's pretty wild. No goddamn way I'd pay $95 for something like that
Point taken...
Last time I read a PWI was during the 100th issue where they had rankings of wrestling in 1996. The WWF portion was a depressing read

I can't find the Punk jersey on their site anymore though...

If this leads to Edge spearing Rousey during the WrestleMania 32 mixed tag main event and pulling an Edge-on-Beulah on her, we can confirm that Vince has lost his fucking mind.
But the NWA title is prestigious man...all the greats wore the belt. From the Harley Races, to the Barry Windhams, to the.....Ric Flairs's!

The NWA belt meant jack shit when that promo was cut, and that was 21 years ago.
The NWA title was prestigious, you mean.
Well they can all kiss my ass!
The only two that matter :3...
That's because Heyman shitted on the promotion. Even around that time the NWA was going strong, but not as strong as in the 80s. The belt still has some weight and credibility.
Once it goes back on Conway...the belt will mean something again
.Meanwhile...Shane is trying to relive 1994 like it's Groundhog's day.

Arguable. It was the death blow perhaps, but the people the title was associated with were taken away from it a year before.
The NWA title and the NWA as a whole were on a downward slide that everyone knew existed but never really openly mentioned. ECW was just saying what everyone else was thinking.

Punk needs some help on the merchandise front, he can't lift these heavy expectations
True. Despite the promo being amazing, Heyman pretty much buried the promotion that was responsible for the birth of professional wrestling. Proved him right because ECW is dead, while NWA is still here...
Agreed...but like I said, they should have done it differently because even the suits were worked into a shoot. They didn't know that Heyman was going to do that to the title. It was cool and probably the best moment of wrestling, but it still was unprofessional.

Nice to see that the majority agree that he does indeed deserve it.

This is why I want to see it go the other way. Punk stans getting their dreams crushed is the tastiest of foods.
Honestly though, I would love to see Punk get his virgin nose cracked because:
- He railed on and on about hating part-timers in WWE, then is a part timer to UFC
- Since he is who he is, he got hotshotted on the card, taking two other peoples' spots that have been busting their assses
- It's fun to watch smaller people get beat up
That's really all I've got, but that's why I'm against Pank in UFC. Batista did it right - fight for a no-name promotion with no real money, because it was a bucket list item. Punk's bucket list item apparently is "make a ton of money losing" as opposed to Dave's, which was "I wanna fight!" - one wants to market himself, one wants to fight. Dave's the real hero.
As a Punk fan I could really care if he wins or loses because as far as I'm concerned this whole UFC thing is just him getting some shit out of his system before he eventually reconciles with Vince and rejoins WWE in a few years. I'll probably watch the fight and I think it would be cool if he won, but overall wrestlers going to MMA don't appeal to me unless they are BARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK LESNAAAAAAAAR

He'll definitely be back.
I will laugh my fucking ass off if he returns as a late 20s rumble entry that wins it
Yup, Punk is a fake tough guy. He may win a few bouts, but once he gets into the area of fighting life long mma guys, he's screwed.

The second Punk wakes up from getting knocked out in a devastating fashion is the day he calls Vince

Nice job spelling "spelling," you fucking geek. Who are you to criticize someone else's spending snafu when you can't even use the correct word?

I don't think Punk's gonna crawl back to WWE that instantly if/when he gets his block knocked off. But I would like to see him win cause it would be just as hilarious if he lost as well.

I would love for him to win the first two, then take on a real fighter for the third bout. Make a lot of money off him being KOed in quick fashion by a real fighter, and since it'll be his third fight, it'll be a big name.
