November Wrasslin |OT| Ask Not The Jobber How John Cena Wins
- Thread starter Plywood
- Start date
Dude does seem a little clueless for not seeing Cena Rock 2. The whole reason rock won was for the rematch in NYC.
Vince knew where the money marketing wise was and punk only saw the talent disparity.
Though fucking imagine if Punk beat undertaker or if it was a triple threat? You would have fucking elevated Punk as an equal to Cena instead of Cena being on an island like he is now.

The fuck.
Yeah, I get that just seems odd everyone is lapping it up, but then this is CM Punk and the internet.

He isn't allowed to release the figure. Vince doesn't want to look bad in front of shareholders when all he had to do was mail 2 checks instead of paying legal fees for playing chicken with a man he had no power over.
also look at the sports institute first achievement

HEY PHIL for Dec thread.
If CM Punk was going to spit a bunch of lies, he could've gotten a fat ass paycheck for it. Him doing it on doofy indie guy podcast for free adds credibility to it. He also could've done it waaaay earlier.
Mr. Luchador
Member
Yeah, way more credible on his friend's podcast.
Yeah that makes sense, I just find it odd the way it was written down. He 'can't talk about the Settlement, but he talked about it by mentioning it' kind of way.
Phil Brooks talks about how awful WWE is; Ryan Ryback sucking.
For free.
People looking to lie and be malicious typically want something out of it in return. What does Punk get?

Punk can say what he wants because right now of all times Vince doesn't want to admit how much money he lost.
Del Rio did do a Pride show once. He lost but didn't look terrible.
And while I think Punk is MASSIVELY overrated in-ring, he's a smart guy and great talker and deserved his spot.

Wrestling fans aren't too smart after all.
A guy talking shit looking to spin a story doesn't declare his biases upfront and he has nothing to gain. His friends podcast is the endgame? Okay.

Cryptic line about NOAH in the Observer this week;
"There is some major news from here brewing."
Also, seems like TMDK may be loaned out to New Japan next year, presumably in return for more talent exchanges. That'll definitely be a boost to the tag division, lots of fresh matches there.

Dammit, bean. Also, what does it matter that it's his friend's podcast? He could've gone to RF or Kayfabe Commentaries and got himself some shoot interview money. But he didn't.

"Regarding the New Japan World press conference on 12/1, it is being described as a TV and Internet connection. The New Japan blogger on the TV-Asahi site (TV-Asahi, which co-owns the New Japan archives is a partner in the project so if its on their site its probably accurate) said it would be like the WWE Network. Weve had some speculation that CMLL may be involved with this since the two promotions are business partners on the tour and Mistico cut a promo for something in Japan a few months back, which may have been for this."
Hnnggg, a NJPW/CMLL WWE Network-like streaming service? Gawd, I hope this is available internationally.

UFC can't compete with this and Total Divas!!
Imagine this being more successful than the Network.
Are there constant zoom ins and is it in black and white?

I hope the msm picks up on the doctor/wellness policy issues Punk talked about because that shit really needs to be sorted.
This podcast will spread fast. I have already trouble downloading it.
If anyone has a mirror it would be greatly appreciated.

Couple of likely matches for the FantasticaMania tour;
"They are planning to do both Atlantis vs. Ultimo Guerrero and Sombra vs. Volador Jr. as singles matches on the tour to give people the last two years Anniversary show main events."
Also, New Japan planning to run Sumo Hall a lot more in 2015;
"There are plans for even more ambitious doubles this year, as the plans are to run Sumo Hall two straight nights in April for Invasion Attack I & II and two straight nights in October for King of Pro Wrestling I & II."
Damn, that's ambitious as hell. Ryogoku doesn't normally sell out for anything but the G1 (although they did sell it out for King of Pro-Wrestling this year), so running back-to-back nights would be pretty crazy. They also want to run the Super Jr's finals in Ryogoku, so that'd be 5 Sumo Hall shows in 2015.
G1 2015 plans;
"There are also plans being made, and I would presume this is for G-1, to do the biggest tournament ever, with top stars from more different promotions along with the New Japan top stars, bringing in more talent from the U.S. (Presumably ROH and GFW), Mexico (CMLL) and other Japanese groups. The company is very ambitious about growing the business this year on an international basis."

The only bad thing about that podcast was it should have been twice as long.
Also have a strange compulsion to cancel my Network subscription right now. That might also be linked to the non-stop 'GET THE REST OF NOVEMBER FREE!' banners on GAF. Cunts.
Where did Shane end up at the moment? Odd he put his ego aside and isn't trying to compete against them.

Thanks for that. I had thought it odd there wasn't a more effective one stop website for wrestling stuff, although it kinda makes sense since the current WWE ignores the fact the other companies even exist until they buy them.
Where did Shane end up at the moment? Odd he put his ego aside and isn't trying to compete against them.
It's clearer on the podcast, he can't give the dollar figure as that would make WWE look bad for not sending the cheques in the first place. All he can say is he did well out of it.
Yup, I like his thinking and his promo work more than the actual wrestling. I'd be disappointed if he didn't end up in creative somewhere.
If what he says is true they wanted the shield leader to be big show...LET IT BE KNOW, AND WRITTEN AS THUS. THAT SO, ON THE 27TH OF NOVEMBER IN 2014 THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, THE WRASSLEGAF COMMUNITY FAVORS PHILLIP "CM PUNK" BROOKS ONCE AGAIN.
Just because it continues to confirm that WWE is gross doesn't mean that I favor CM Punk. This is all stuff that anyone who's ever watched a shoot has known about. It just adds another main eventer to the pile of people that WWE was trying to kill so they could get ratings.

I wonder, what's the likelihood of Stone Cold bringing this up during his live podcast with Vince next week?
0%?
1%?
I'm sure he will be told a thousand times not to even think about referring to it or Punk but Steve seems like he would get a kick out of putting Vince on the spot live.
Would be fucking hilarious.
I hope WWE get a chance to defend themselves on the
front, that shit is really worrying.

Oh frick, I forgot about that. There's another podcast I have to re-subscribe to.
Maybe CM Punk's interview was a pre-emptive strike in the event that Vince was planning on discussing it and controlling the narrative.
well the podcast is gonna be a network exclusive so...
