I enjoy it because its Jericho trying into Punks head trying to get an advantage in there match. Punk did this to Jeff Hardy.

"Now that the Charismatic Enabler is gone...."

Edit : I do understand if people think it's come out of nowhere though, and I agree....would have been awesome if they started this stuff weeks ago. Still, on it's face, I don't consider it any more tacky than anything else.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Where is Jericho's promo about the people being sheep?

About them cheering Punk now but hating him when he was in SES?

 

[Plywood]

Jack Jobber gonna job.

 

[Ithil]

No one can help me on Punk's in-ring skills? It was a legitimate question. I'm seriously wondering what matches to watch to showcase his in ring skill because I'm just not seeing it.

Punk is a fantastic wrestler and has been for near a decade. I'm not sure what you're seeing.

In any case watch his ROH matches (as usual).

[El Pescado]

This show needs more James Roday...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Jack Jobber gonna job.

He is now Dennis the Menace to me

 

[Htown]

So what did I miss since leaving at the beginning of the Miz/Punk match?

Punk won, then Jericho came on and tried to get into Punk's head by saying that the reason Punk is straight edge is because his father was an alcoholic. Got all psychoanalytical, said something about the pain of wanting a drink leading to Punk getting tattoos, then said he's going to expose Punk at WM and drive him to drink, etc.

Punk vs Bryan(the first match from a few weeks ago) is the last good one. He definitely seems to have gotten worse in the ring since becoming champ though. I blame it on WWE trying to mold him into the 5mod moveset like Cena. If he gets enough time with a good opponent he has a good match.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Alton Brown is screwing up WWE's Twitter with his good eats stuff... GOOD MAN!!

 

[somedevil]

I understand that. But it turned from you stole my gimmick, I'm the best in the world, into, you're just a useless drunk like your daddy! Match didn't need it.

I think its both because he brings this up to get in Punks head that the whole best in the world is just his gimmick to cover up for his dad and Jericho believes it his truly his and not a cover for his flaws.

 

[krae_man]

Okay, why would band camp chick be embarrassed about that?

Incredible Promo.

 

[Dinokill]

Edgier WWE is best WWE.

Now lets make some KKK angle and have the Undertaker call HBK a junkie cokehead.

Controversy creates muthafukin' cash

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Oh god that woman, gtfo

 

[El Pescado]

CM Drunk is Trending Worldwide XD

 

[MetatronM]

people are offended by the drinking stuff.... good thing this product is PG

Eh, I'm not offended by the drinking thing. It's just that it's completely unnecessary if you're doing the feud right.

It's just the proverbial "trying too hard" that comes from having soap opera writers handling this stuff instead of wrestling minds.

 

[Plywood]

Literally does the exact same ankle lock everytime.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Randal Keith Orton won. Interesting turn of events.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Orton <3

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Kane is in the rafters!

 

[British Monsoon]

In regards to Punk's in-ring skills, I don't think he was ever regarded as a great technician like Danielson, even during his ROH days and the epic 3-match series with Samoa Joe - but Punk understands match psychology and structure, sells better than most and cuts awesome promos, given a good enough scenario, which definitely allows him to arise over the occasional sloppiness or an unconvincing move-set.

This was the very first ROH show I saw way back in 2003, I loved this promo and was instantly sold on Punk, so good. I'd say he only ever bettered it with the Second City Saints promo where he & Cabana won the tag belts, and his heel turn promo after winning the ROH World Title.

 

[Ithil]

So are we going to get even a single promo explaining why they're fighting?

 

[Brinbe]

Jobber gon Job


C'mon, get to Rocky time!

 

[El Pescado]

If only Randy was on the turnbuckle when the pyro went off...

[DMczaf]

Attitudinal?

 

[DMeisterJ]

Randal Keith Orton won. Interesting turn of events.

His middle name is Keith? That makes so much sense. RKO. I'm slow.

Do we think that Cena wrote his own rap?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Well...Smackdown just became a must watch

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Christian returns with the peep show! Must see

 

[El Pescado]

[Shadowlink]

Christian's back!

Attitudinal?

It is very attitudinal.

 

[Zhengi]

WTF? Why are they recapping Cena in the middle of that?

 

[bwahhhhh]

I'm sure Jericho would say it's wine. CM Drunk just can't help himself.

 

[DiscoJon]

PEEP SHOW RETURNS~

 

[HarryDemeanor]

He drove his friends 900 miles to get a fucking Doritos taco.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

WTF at the Van Damme commercial.

 

[krae_man]

So are we going to get even a single promo explaining why they're fighting?

To give them both a Wrestlemania Bonus. Same reason Punk and Orton feuded last Mania.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Damn...that's a promo.

Now if we can get something like this next week, then we got something going.

Punk is a fantastic wrestler and has been for near a decade. I'm not sure what you're seeing.

In any case watch his ROH matches (as usual).

I acknowledged I haven't been back watching for long, but I've seen a guy who is sloppy, weak, and slow. He struggles to get even smaller guys up for his finisher. He rarely gets enough air under him for his corner knee. He has to have the worst top rope elbow I've ever seen. I'll admit that he has good psychology but from what I've seen (which, again, isn't much) he doesn't look convincing when he's delivering his offense. I'll have to check out his older stuff I suppose.

Punk vs Bryan(the first match from a few weeks ago) is the last good one. He definitely seems to have gotten worse in the ring since becoming champ though. I blame it on WWE trying to mold him into the 5mod moveset like Cena. If he gets enough time with a good opponent he has a good match.

Okay, I just assumed that was a Bryan carryjob since I've seen him have good matches with other people. He's had the belt for as long as I've been back watching regularly so that makes sense. Thanks.

In regards to Punk's in-ring skills, I don't think he was ever regarded as a great technician like Danielson, even during his ROH days and the epic 3-match series with Samoa Joe - but Punk understands match psychology and structure, sells better than most and cuts awesome promos, given a good enough scenario, which definitely allows him to arise over the occasional sloppiness or an unconvincing move-set.

Gotcha.

Bryan is amazing.
