Who does it benefit though? I'd really like to know how much crossover appeal the WWE has, and how many new fans this crap has created.

Benefits the marketing department, gives them bullet points, and more. It's not one of those things that has a tangible "it brought X amount in" points - but it's more like investing in popular culture, no matter how despicable it may seem.

Shows WWE's status if that's what people believe. Once WWE WAS popular culture, now it's trying it's best to grab on to it.

Shibata is never gonna be a champion, is he?

KENTA should've taken him with him as a combo deal.

CM Punk: Oh, I think, my original pitch to Axel Alonso in 2011 was, “Let me write Punisher.” In my mind, for some odd reason, I’ve just got this Punisher story in my head, and I think it’s super, super awesome. I can read Jason Aaron’s Punisher and everybody else’s [take on the] character and it’s good, but I think that my Punisher story is pretty badass. So everything I do for Marvel is going to be leading up to, “Please just let me write my Punisher story.” So until they let me do that, you’re gonna get all kinds of other stories about all kinds of other characters until they satisfy this need I have to write Frank Castle.

What's fuckin stoppin ya, Marvel? I'd read the shit out of it no matter how good or bad it is. Punk seems like an articulate enough guy.

Sounds like how a bunch of fanfic writers feel about their projects.

Yeah I'd read it, I vaguely recall him talking about it on the nerdist

 

[FlammableD]

If Chris Jericho can start his own metal band, the why not. Follow those dreams even if you can't reach A status.

I'm never going to shit on someone for trying to do what they're passionate about. I might shit on the end product, but fuckin' good on them for trying.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Yeah I understand that, and I really don't know if Punk is really that good of a writer, I mean his promos are the only thing I'm basing it off of, but c'mon I'll just say I'm looking forward to it, if it ever happens.

Also, it's the fuckin Punisher. A guy who uses the cadaver's as human shields in a morgue shootout.

 

[Aiii]

Does it really matter? If it's shit, it's shit, but Marvel makes 200 comic books a month, they can afford to take a chance. So if this Thor story is half decent and sells well (lets face it, the CM Punk name has value since he quit the company almost a year ago and they're still chanting his name louder than 90% of the WWE roster), why not give him another go?

Marvel baby!

Let's take your minds off the fact Raw is gonna be swimming in cat shit in a Week which is an upside from it usually swimming in dogshit on a weekly basis.

Matt Striker talks about having backstage heat

good stuff

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Nearly time for Live Raw (spoilers), the only good thing about UK Raws. You can decide if you want to stay up or not well in advanced and with an idea of what the show will be like.

absolutely

 

[BronsonLee]

Marvel's basically just stunt casting by letting him write a comic. He loves comic books a ton anyway, so it makes sense that he would jump on the idea.

 

[Kaladin]

This is what I did over the weekend:

Who would have thought people still love good country music?

 

[Vylash]

oh shit raw is taped tonight, thank goodness i'm free from the carny curse for a week

HOLY SHIT PUNK AND ROB GUILLORY.

Megaton!!!

To be fair, most comic writers at this point are basically paid fanfic writers.

 

[Jamie OD]

Yeah, the proof is there when you see that both Marvel and DC are doing massive multi-continuity/universe crossovers for their big storylines right now.

The ones hanging onto superhero books sure. The new school is busy guest writing episodes of LOST.

Raw isnt Live, wont watch whats the point?

Don't you want to hear the fake applause they edited in for when the audience boos the network.

 

[Browny]

Just in case anyone's interested, the UK's reaction to the show starting and whether they'll chant about the network...

Spoiler

Pretty much straight away, "Where's our network" chants. Editors gonna make their money tonight...

 

[Kaladin]

They never act like they care about UK Raws. We might get one decent match because it's for the UK crowds, but don't expect much.

 

[avengers23]

It's not that far a stretch from the time Raven wrote a Spider-Man story for Marvel.

 

[somedevil]

Wow they announced a new member for Team Cena and its

Spoiler

Jack Swagger

A promotion though by the end he could be taken out as well.

 

[UrbanDandy]

With Gerald Ford playing Kane.

So kane will now be called Gerald Kane? I have to wait until he trips some more to earn that title.

I would book this by having Cena announce people every week and have the Authority take them out leaving him with the fewer and fewer options of people to turn to.

 

[Fox318]

Santa can play Kane in his biopic

swerve there's no hidden answer, it's still yes

Then before the edit you spoiled it on this forum. Awesome job as well.

I didn't edit my post...

 

[Browny]

I have found something infinitely better than keeping up with Raw.

Liam Neeson being TMF in Episode 1.

I'm going to fast forward through Jar Jar though.

 

[Aiii]

I bet Vince was "

Spoiler

WHAT? HE IS GETTING OVER WITHOUT US AGAIN? FUCK IT, TURN THAT MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE AGAIN! WHERE'S AXEL? PUT THEM BACK ON SUPERSTARS, GODDAMNIT!"

Or something, because WHY ELSE?

 

[Fox318]

Kevin Nash in John Wick.

Speaking of those two, they had a fairly nice moment on Superstars that explained why they are no longer a tag team. Was kinda bummed to see it get dumped there.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Can't tell if Christian or Ken Kennedy or both.

There is no life outside of WWE omg. Don't tease me.

Don't understand reference, I hope cultural ambassador, Brother bean breath will explain.

 

[Serpentine]

Spoiler

I hope the Ryback stuff just means that he's a solo man and is joining neither team. And Ryback and Cena have a ~history~ with each other anyway. But i know WWE doesn't remember that. If the face run has been a SWERVE, then welp,

happy birthday, Ryback

Av is Rex Ryan, coach of the 2-8 Jets.

The Jets never gave up right to a 2-8 record!

Kinda looks like Phil Brooks and what he wanted to do after Kevin Nash & Paul Leveque took over his angle.
