The Wrestling Thread...NINJA PLEASE! - Part 31

[Benstamania]

Oh I'm not complaining about how Punk was booked... I wouldn't be shocked for Triple H to give a John Cena like respect speech tomorrow. I just thought the ending was extremely messy and confusing.

 

[Benstamania]

The problem with turning Cena heel, is who's gonna be THE guy. I think Punk can be a guy but Idk about THE guy.

Punk, Triple H or the Rock as Survivor Series.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

I'm not against Punk losing, they sure did go out of their way to protect him, it's not that. It's just that I feel like they stopped the storyline cold.

 

[Benstamania]

Then again, Cena's character is SO squeaky clean that they would really have to think of a way to turn him...

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

What I've noticed about the IWC, is that if things aren't booked exactly how people think they should be, and popular opinion is that Punk needed to go over to keep his heat (despite the crowd chanting his name LOUDLY right before the finish.) It's just crap, and nothing will ever make it interesting again. I know for a fact that 12 year old me would have s*** my pants at all that storyline development in that match.

Punk has yet to be buried since he slammed McMahon. They are pushing him to the moon, and tonight seals it. There's a hell of a lot more to come. The lack of patience is regrettable.

 

[venom892]

Thing is how will they explain the conspiracy?Are Miz and Truth right?Are they a part of it?

 

[StarkvsRogers]

I enjoyed a little something from every match, but overall it left a bad taste in my mouth...

[Benstamania]

I don't see anyone here complaining about Punk losing. I myself said I wanted him to lose... the ending to THIS match tonight was messy and confusing.

As for the IWC... the IWC aren't 100% behind Punk anymore because "casuals" are buying his shirt now.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Then again, Cena's character is SO squeaky clean that they would really have to think of a way to turn him...

Easy......he's getting tired of being boo'd by the crowds across the country, he's tired of getting boo'd in his hometown. He hustles so much for the fans and yet they boo him. Where's the loyalty? Where's the respect?

Then it's revealed that Vince/Laurenitiis have given him every opportunity to succeed, that others weren't given chance after chance because Vince was Cena's money maker (if this is the Reality Era, you can't get more up to breaking the fourth wall than a storyline like that).

I was watching those legends of wrestling discussion tables, they were talking about when The Rock was Rocky Maivia and why it didn't work. Jim Ross made the comment that he was too cookie-cutter, people don't go for the straight arrow smiling face anymore, that's too bland in this day in age. I found that ironic because that's where we are basically with Cena, more or less.

i think this sets up punk bringing in guys from roh. for survivor series maybe you'll have triple h, punk, two roh guys and maybe they'll face off against the rock and cena. in the storyline punk can't stand both of them. or maybe it'll be a tag partner and have triple as a ref again. i'm curious how this will all work out. but i do think this sets up punk and triple h at least "respecting" each other after the match. we have what? one pay per view before survivor series. i think this depends if they're going with the traditional survivor series match or maybe just a tag team.

cena/the rock vs miz/r truth?

punk/colt vs triple h/nash?

Not one of us has said Punk has to win.....It's just where does this go now?Hunter turning heel seemed the next logical step but after tonight how do you logically explain he was in on all this?

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Cena was Vince's Money Maker*

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Cena is Vince's Money Maker*

Fix'd.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Fix'd.

Making millions when he could be making billions.

Theirs many ways to go from here.

Most people here said Hunter needed to go over tonight.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

It wasn't just about this board as much as the IWC period.

 

[Benstamania]

Anyone read the rumor about Vince being on Raw TV tomorrow night?

Also, I suppose at SS we could have Rock, Cena, Punk, Triple H and Sheamus against Nash, Miz, Truth, and two other people... Trips (or Cena) could maybe turn there...

If he does turn I would guess he gets his title shot against Cena before a rematch with Punk and wins... Punk could win the Rumble and face a Heel Triple H at Mania in the main event?

Cena alone isn't gonna make Vince billions. Austin alone didn't make Vince a billionaire.

 

[Benstamania]

And again, a lot of the IWC turned on Punk the moment he started selling tshirts. Part of me doesn't even believe the IWC exists... not like it once did. To fickle anymore...

 

[Benstamania]

No. That was Hulk Hogan.

 

[venom892]

Austin did outsell Cena though.Which is telling as Cena has been on top for 6 years while Austin at most was on top for 4 due to injury.

 

[TX85]

I thought the match/brawl was great..Until the cluster ending,But I enjoyed the match&winner result!!

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

No. That was Hulk Hogan.

Vince wasn't a billionaire until he 2001, I think.

I'm actually an official member, since I'm on the internet and watch wrestling , and I'd say none of us have turned on Punk... yet....
