To add to Big Show's absence, Kane has also been written out after an attack by Mark Henry. WWE.com says that Kane will be out for atleast three months.

The Titan Fighting Championship made an announcement that WWE Champion CM Punk has been invited to sit cageside at their next event.

 

[chamber-music]

I hope Ezekiel Jackson loses his belt soon his boring he does nothing but body slams and clothes lines all the time while gurning

Also they need to bring back Cruiserweight Championship or European Championship. They have too many wrestlers and not enough belts. At the main events there are superstars wrestling for nothing half the time and its pointless.

 

[Dr. Evil]

hmmmm.....

Summerslam as it stands now is nothing more then a regular PPV. It needs a signifcant catch, something that makes Summerslam one of the big four again. So how about making Summerslam the return of CM Punk? Tease it for a few weeks, and then have Punk return at Summerslam. Just teasing it for a few weeks would cause interest in Summerslam to rise a bit. Don't bring Punk back before then.

I don't know, just a thought.

I think it's too soon to bring back Punk, they need to keep this renegade angle going longer, think Austin in the summer/fall of 97.

The big issue is what to do with Cena at Summerslam, they don't have a big title match set up for him or anyone for him to face that will generate any real excitement.

On the SD side of things it's even harder to find a challenger for Christian as there are hardly any faces.

 

[chamber-music]

Christian should be a face most if the crowd were cheering when he was going on about Randy losing the heavyweight belt.

I think the WWE should play to wrestlers strengths. Some wrestlers are natural and more comfortable being heel or face so they should let them.

Steve Austin Says WWE Should Hire Samoa Joe, Expects A Lot From CM Punk In WWE

WWE should sign @SamoaJoe as soon as his TNA contract is up. One of my favorite workers in today's game. Needs a full green light push.

@bigpookie612 Punk will write his own chapter in this business, and I am excited to watch him do it.

This is what separates Austin from most other legends, he rarely talks about himself unless asked and is more interested and enthusiastic in seeing the next set of guys in the industry make their mark.

Hasn't Joe just signed a new long term TNA deal?

 

[Dr. Evil]

If Austin was to come back for one more match, it should be against Punk.

 

[chamber-music]

WWE would not know what to do with a guy like Samoa Joe.

 

[Nemi]

WWE would not know what to do with a guy like Samoa Joe.

Agreed, WWE doesn't even know what to do with a lot of the people they already have.

 

[TripleR]

WWE would not know what to do with a guy like Samoa Joe.

And TNA does know what to do with him?

Bryan is money in the bank, Punk is the hottest thing in the industry and even before that had 3 other world wins. WWE's track record is just as good if not better than TNA's.

Hell, even if they end up horribly mishandling him, he'd be making more money. It certainly can't turn out worse than getting kidnapped by ninjas or carrying around a huge sword for no reason.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The WWE would probably name Samoa Joe Tonga Tim.

 

[Team Andino]

The WWE would probably name Samoa Joe Tonga Tim.

How about Jungle Jim

 

[Benstamania]

I'd find Joe more believable as a big, nasty, monster of a guy that found a way to take out Big Show and Kane more than I can Henry.

Nothing against Henry... and size wise, yeah, I guess he's more believable... but story wise I could see Joe doing something like that noooo problem.

On some level you can tell Austin is still a fan and he loves the business and to watch it as such. Whole most of the other guys his age or past him are in it to look out for themselves and to make money. Since Austin has taken himself out as a regular performer and saved his money he can just sit back and not have to worry about that and enjoy the show.

As for Cena it depends on how the whole WWE title tournament goes. I would think Del Rio would challenge Cena for the title at some point but since he no longer has it. Maybe the roles could be reversed and Del Rio could cash in on Rey and set up Cena vs Del Rio or Cena vs Rey vs Del Rio.

With Smackdown it seems like they are setting Henry up to be the top heel there for the near future. But a heel Henry challenging a heel Christian isn't WWE's usual MO. Maybe they'll just insert Mizzark into the Christian/Orton feud because quite frankly as god as their matches are its gettign kind of stale. If they are going to keep it going they need some fresh blood injected.

Only way that pic could be better is if she took that shirt and did this.

Hell, even if they end up horribly mishandling him, he'd be making more money. It certainly can't turn out worse than getting kidnapped by ninjas or carrying around a huge sword for no reason.

That is true thougoh I remember someone on here saying that Joe doesn't want to be booked as a big nasty monster.

 

[Pink Ranger]

How about Jungle Jim

Polynesian Pete.

 

[Benstamania]

That is true thougoh I remember someone on here saying that Joe doesn't want to be booked as a big nasty monster.

Really? ....Wow.

 

[Kaleb]

I remember seeing Joe in the wwe and was shocked at how thin he was compared to now.

 

[Wheels]

That is true thougoh I remember someone on here saying that Joe doesn't want to be booked as a big nasty monster.

Joe doesn't want to be booked like a typical Samoan wild man. He wants to be a badass shoot fighter type. He wants to be a monster, but not the barefoot grunting kind.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Polynesian Pete.

How about Jungle Jim

Or Fiji Frank or Guam Gary

 

[Dr. Evil]

If CM Punk was to return with reinforcements, it would be:

- CM Punk
- Daniel Bryan
- Scotty Goldman (Colt Cabana)
- Seth Rollins (Tyler Black)
- Baron von Count (Claudio Castagnoli)
- Ranch Thomas (Chris Hero)
- Tonga Tim (Samoa Joe)

The last three names are only suggestions if they sign with the WWE.

I doubt that the WWE will give Hero and Claudio respectable names. In fact, I'd say that they will be given stupid names because that's what the WWE loves to do. Those are the two stupidest names off the top of my head and I don't think that the WWE is smart enough to allow them to keep those names. I would not be shocked if the WWE gave Colt back the name Scotty Goldman.

However, if Claudio, Hero and Colt come to the WWE with their current names and gimmicks, I will credit the WWE for allowing that to happen. I know that the WWE is interested in all three. For some reason, I see all three playing a factor in Punk re-signing with the WWE.
