Yeah, I've heard that too. And then I heard that they don't want to put him with Ziggler because they don't see anything in him.
Fighting games suck. and 1 sucks. and 3 sucks.
4 sucks as well. The P2 games though, that is where it is at.

Joke post aside, I always did think it was a bad move on his part to have his honeymoon right after Mania. I mean, he's not doing anything right now...

Well, that was supposed to be the only problem after Mania. Do the honeymoon, and that's it. (which was filmed for Total Divas so it was only half "time off") His father dying, Kane storyline, and very real injury are not his fault.

Well, let's be honest here. He probably thought when he booked his honeymoon that he would be getting done with another Wrestlemania match with Sheamus, not winning the title. Of course, the fact he was on a honeymoon didn't mean he couldn't be on TV via a pretape or something. But, that'd make too much sense.
Oh, and post-WM feud with Kane is just part of the hazing process as a new champ. Even Austin had to go through it.

It just hit me what Stardust reminds me of:
But they put Zeb Colter and Paul Heyman with guys like Curtis Axel and Jack Swagger.
Honestly, I'm surprised he's as over as he is now considering the lack of direction he has had and how often he just goes out there to lose.
Sort of, but once HBK left, the only ideal guys Austin could feud with is Kane and/or Taker. Foley was a face and Rock didn't get his eventual push until that Fall.
His wedding was presumably booked long before he ever knew he was going to be in the WM main event,

that Jeff Hardy shirt
I enjoyed his work with AJ and Big E. That was largely them hanging out backstage doing character interactions/nothing important until (competitor or feud) intruded. Small things, but they helped the show.
My sources (lolitsGAF) say it's because hey don't want two loose cannons together, especially when one is Flair. And I refuse to believe anyone sees anything in the Miz other than an E-tier actor and a B-tier PR mouthpiece.

How far we've come indeed, Kane main events in 2002 and still in 2014.
Seriously though, that 2002 bit right there dealt a deadly blow to Kane's character that would never truly recover, if only he were a kayfabe murderer.

I can't believe HHH would sign off on pairing a wrestling God with a nobody. It just doesn't make sense.

Much better they use Flair to manage some sub-par diva no one's ever heard of down in NXT
I like Ziggler as a midcarder. He is fun in small doses. I just really dislike this notion that someone who has what it takes to be in a certain position of the card isn't because he is whiny on twitter. It's one thing to do a PR screw up on twitter; it is another to just be annoying.

Ugh, back to back Bundy and Abdullah matches. There's some cool stuff going on in early '85 New Japan (like the Super Strong Machines) but I can't wait for Hulk to show up next month and save Fujinami from these terrible matches. All Japan's definitely putting on a better quality, less gaijin-heavy show at this point.
TNA is hosting a poll to see if folks want them to continue with 4-sided ring or bring back the 6-sided ring

How is Ziggler whiny? Most of what I've seen is just poking fun at himself and the whole situation. It's all pretty innocuous compared to the stuff Punk did that gets hailed as "great".
The stuff that Punk did on screen as part of a storyline? Do people really think the pipe bomb was a for real legit shook legit shoot?

Everyone here is an expert on the backstage politics and inner workings of WWE talent relations.
Voted. 6-sided or bust. Everyone, please do the same.

That's probably the only Ziggler criticism that I don't completely understand. If anything, I think he thinks he's funnier and cooler than he actually is.

If only that were all of it.

It is very easy to write the dirt sheets for exactly this stupid reason. They just write to everyone's expectations and then get to follow that up examining why "plans changed" every time they're wrong.
But they're still treated as gospel so who gives a fuck really.
I don't even understand the argument. People have been saying Punk acts like an asshole for over a decade now. Everything he's said that's made him "great" were things on screen, as part of a storyline. Not bitching about jobbing on Twitter. I can't believe how easily Punk worked smarks into thinking he was saying whatever he wanted and wasn't part of the storyline, with ideas given to him by writers.

What's the distinction between Ziggler making a throwaway joke on twitter and Punk seriously thinking that him vs Cena should main event over Cena/Rock? One draws the ire of "smarks" the other is lubricant for them.

It would be really great if Reigns acted like he gave a shit about what was happening instead of doing his insufferable "too cool for school" routine.
but....he is that's his appeal
when was the last time someone in WWE tried it and it actually "worked"? it usually falls flat on it's face after like 2 weeks for most
Scumbag.
blackaroni

What exactly should he have done to show that he gave a shit?
That Kevin Nash method.
That's a good idea. And maybe WCW Family Feud.
Because Ziggler makes jokes about how he jobs all the time, takes shots at his coworkers, and generally acts like a passive-aggressive cry baby on Twitter all day. Punk went to Vince personally with his issues and they made it into an on screen angle where Punk was (allegedly) the top guy from then on. You really don't see a difference in how they handled their problems?
Jimmy King
Member
I'm not talking about how they're handling their problems because I don't assume to know exactly how they do that. I'm talking about the response between how one man makes dumb jokes that are construed as whining and the other makes dumb comments that are taken as gospel by some.

"Sup Vickie, wanna help roofie our boss? It would be really cool thanks"
"Heh, I'm so clever"
"Heh, I'm so clever"
What comments? Who takes them as gospel? I for real have no idea what you're talking about. All the things Punk has said were said on screen as part of a story line and if people believed he was shooting, that's on them.
Dear Stro,
Please if you get the chance, would you be kind enough to review the TV pilot Tagteam starring Jesse Ventura and Roddy Piper. It is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1Gf3gXvZ-k
