The Grits Gonna Hit The Wrestling Thread! - Part 22

They need to do a remix to dick riding Obama and change it to dick riding Punk. It would totally fit right now.

 

[Superark]

They didn't have anyone competent then to take over. HHH is now the man with the plan. Before, it would have been Johnny Ace. Vince faking his dead is better than a 4000 hookers match.

What? they had Linda, Shane, or anyone else they wanted to put into that slot all those times before

But anyways I think I've said my peace. Despite not liking the ending, the bottom line is I'm still looking forward to the Punk saga and that's all that matters

 

[the dmg]

Not sure if this was posted already, but CM Punk keeps the WWE Championship in a safe place.

 

[Metallo]

They didn't turn Vince into a sympathetic face. Kayfabe, Vince got what was coming to him, and it was long overdue. The crowd gave him a face sendoff because the Mr. McMahon character is over so big with the crowds, and that was essentially the killing off of his character.

They've "killed off" the Mr McMahon character how many times now? I'll believe it when it sticks for good.

His match with Bret was supposed to be the killing off of the character. Then the Nexus assault and the coma.

Before that it was the limo explosion. Then it was the stage falling on him at the end of Million Dollar Mania. They retread the same old "this is the end of an era and end of the Mr McMahon character" stuff every few months/years just to do more melodramatic soap opera then they forget about it.


Vince will be back in a few months.

Man seriously, do you have anything valuable or constructive to say about the topic other than "balls in mouth" and "d*** ridin" remarks that make you come across like a little 14 year old?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Lol I do actually. I posted my constructed thoughts numerous times why this storyline ties into the Punk storyline. I am also posting my non constructed thoughts. Since its pretty obvious people just are blinded in their love for Punk to see whats going on when its clear as day.

I could do without those

PUNK IS GONE.

That's the storyline. Kayfabe, CM Punk is NOT signed to a WWE contract. He left Chicago with the belt. KAYFABE he said he's leaving, and taking the title with him. This isn't a John Cena instance where he loves it so much and wants to come back. The entire storyline is that Punk is gone. Period.

Kayfabe wise, Punk is out of the storyline. That IS his storyline.

This fits in with the Punk storyline because all of the events that led up to Vince's firing were all due to Punk's actions the past few weeks.

Everyone *****ed when Cena was "fired" but showed up on Raw every week for the next 4 weeks. Now, CM Punk has walked out with the title, and is kayfabe no longer a part of WWE, and everyone wants him to come in and start beating down wrestlers and claiming himself the "real" champion. THAT'S NOT PUNK'S STORY. THAT WAS NOT HIS GOAL KAYFABE WISE. HIS GOAL WAS TO WALK OUT OF THE WWE WITH THE TITLE. THAT IS WHAT HE DID. His kayfabe goal is not to come back and start beating down the other wrestlers.

A bit too bold for my taste but I do agree with this. CM Punk set all of this in motion, he left but a new era has begun because of his actions.

 

[Metallo]

This is turning into classic IWC "it didn't happen the way I wanted it to so it sucks" fantasy booking. This is nearing "Jeff Hardy was buried even though he won the WWE Title" status.

Funny since you do that all the time. You don't like what he says...just like an IWC smark would.

You don't want Rock/Cena to turn out one way because you want it a certain way. just like an IWC smark. Come the f** off it, dude.

At least Heretic doesn't pull that labeling "smark" card bullsh** when he disagrees with somebody. If you disagree just disagree.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I could do without all the stupid Cena hate and stupid comments on how this storyline doesn't fit with Punks. But I don't see that happening do I?

 

[Superark]

If you disagree just disagree.

Agreed

 

[Superark]

I could do without all the stupid Cena hate and stupid comments on how this storyline doesn't fit with Punks. But I don't see that happening do I?

I haven't hated on Cena or said it doesn't fit with Punk's. Only one person on here has said it doesn't fit with the Punk storyline

 

[venom892]

Guys despite everything McMahon has done in the past I can believe this being what makes the board remove him.Because for the first time he was going to cost them major money.I'm kinda excited to see where this goes and I think there will be a new belt since they postponed the finals of the tournament.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Who said I was talking about you personally. Im talking as whole.

 

[Wylie Times]

How was Cena trying to get fans to like him by dropping names. He only dropped HBK name because it corresponded to what he was saying for christ sake. Everything he said had a element of truth in it. I bet my life if Punk said the same thing, it would have been called epic and awesome.

Except that I haven't been calling everything Punk does epic and awesome. I've been on of the main people saying folks should dial the Punk praise back a bit at times.

Things he said having elements of truth to it have nothing to do with them sounding genuine. You seemed to miss the part where I said I understand what they're trying to do with Cena but that it COMES ACROSS as disingenuous. The way the promo was written and how he delivered it just didn't work and the only time the entire crowd seemed to pop for him was when he mentioned HBK, Bret Hart, and made that Hogan reference.

WWE.COM WRITER APOLOGIZES TO WWE SENIOR VP
by Dave Scherer @ 12:17 AM on 7/19/2011

This is just too weird for words. On WWE.com last night, writer Craig Tello referred to John Laurinaitis as Vince McMahon's stooge, you know, they way Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson were in the storylines years ago.



Today WWE.com ran a story from Tello that stated:

"As a senior WWE.com writer, I would like to publicly apologize to Executive Vice President John Laurinaitis and WWE for my use of disparaging terminology in WWE.com’s article covering the events of last night’s Money in the Bank WWE Championship Match. (FULL STORY)

The term I used was inappropriate for an executive at WWE, Inc. I greatly respect Mr. Laurinaitis and his efforts within the WWE organization."


This work-shoot-taking things way too seriously deal is getting crazy, especially on a day when WWE.com reported Sin Cara failed a Wellness Test and then right above it "reported" a storyline injury to Cara.

I'm waiting to see what happens next before I cast judgment. If this is really the end of the Mr. McMahon character then I think it's a great and natural evolution of the storyline. Punk was the voice of the voiceless: the product has gone stale, it needs new management. Vince was the head, Punk won and so Vince gets fired.

If Vince comes back in 5 months then this storyline loses it's power. As of now it's an intriguing twist. Punk/HHH could become the new Austin/McMahon only with some real heat between the two. I remember HHH didn't like Punk back in the day, maybe that becomes the storyline.

The beauty of this whole angle is it blurred the lines of reality so much so that even the smartest Internet fan isn't completely sure about everything involved. They can keep that idea going with HHH really assuming power in the company.

 

[Metallo]

I could do without all the stupid Cena hate and stupid comments on how this storyline doesn't fit with Punks. But I don't see that happening do I?

People can hate it just like you like it.

How does that translate into you accusing people of "d*ck riding Punk to much?

They complain about the product and you complain about them. Do you you take criticism of WWE THAT personally?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Except that I haven't been calling everything Punk does epic and awesome. I've been on of the main people saying folks should dial the Punk praise back a bit at times.

The way the promo was written and how he delivered it just didn't work and the only time the entire crowd seemed to pop for him was when he mentioned HBK, Bret Hart, and made that Hogan reference.

How did he come across as that when he used the people to make his point? Hell to me he pop people's name's better than Punk's first promo. At least when he pop'd a name it was completely part of his point and wasn't just for shock value.

 

[Wylie Times]

Wow, so now every criticism of John Cena or WWE gets you labeled a hater or a punk dick rider?

 

[Metallo]

True...but I would think Vince CONSTANTLY trying to get rid of Austin would cost WWE a lot more money than getting ride of Cena.

I know they try to "kayfabe" say that Cena is as popular as Austin but that bird just don't fly and doesn't even hold up. Id say it was the combo of not resigning Punk and forcing Cena out but still...Vince has done way worse.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I criticize WWE all the time. I complain about when people complain for when they ***** about simple stuff. That annoys me. Like to tonight. I can get you don't like the storyline. But dont tell me it doesn't fit and I feel as if people are just hating on Cena to hate on him. His promo was fine. Everything he said had truth in it and what he said was totally relevant to his point. I mean God the dude gets so much hate that when he does something a little good can we please give him some credit?

 

[Wylie Times]

Punk's name dropping worked better because of how he delivered the promo. It felt like it was REALLY him just talking to the fans and airing his grievances.

Cena's didn't come across and genuine because it felt like he wasn't speaking his mind but just following a script that was already written. It felt like a performance rather than him expressing his true feelings. The TNA hint didn't help either because most people no there's no way in hell he'd go there.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Also Im not really calling of you haters but I was pissed at a another board where their doing that so my B.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I felt Cena's promo felt very real and heartfelt. His point with TNA name drop to me was to scare Vince.
