    Haha.

    Kane has been the least of my problems with the WWE lately. In fact Kane really hasn't annoyed me in a long time, ever since he was put in a tag team with Bryan mainly because it kept him out of the main event/WWE title picture. Now if only the same thing can happen to Orton, Big Show, Sheamus and Del Rio I'll be even happier.

    I guess Jimmy Snuka and Matt Hardy are some of the few happy people about this CM Punk news.... as it draws less attention away from them.

    For her? Report from backstage seem to suggest the character she plays on TV is really what she's like. Anyway it's only a matter of time before Punk kicks her to the curb and goes after another Diva.

    Could be worse. It could be Sheamus....

    I can't wait for the fans to hijack this WM and I'm glad I'm only paying 10$ a month for it so if it sucks, oh well

    Still plenty of time before WM for the WWE to rework the card. I think the fans only issues right now is them being sick of Orton and Cena and mainly wanting to see Bryan with the title.

    6/10 didnt paint black around your eyes.



    Haha! Good stuff man, now shave half of your head width-wise and you're golden, pony boy!



    Punk had such a good quote, at some comicon on the 24th, he said they should not only KNOW whats happening at WM30 at this point, they should be working on WM31.....the days of long time booking and building up to it (ala Taz/Sabu in old ECW) are gone, and thats a sad thing.

    He's right to certain extent, they should have a semi rough outline in place for at least the next 6 months to a year like they would like to see for example Roman Reigns in the WWE title match at WM and possibly have an opponent for The Undertaker lined up so they can build him up. The problem with long term booking is with so many TV hours and PPVs each month it makes it harder and harder for that type of thing and that's not even factoring in wrestlers getting hurt, suspended, leaving, coming in, Wrestler A getting popular, Wrestler B not doing well with the crowds etc.

    Usually the WWE creative team had those outlines in place but recently, for the last few years, since Vince has been getting older and changing more things on the fly, a lot of stuff is up in the air. Especially the last few WMs. In the old days where they had only 4 or 5 PPVs a year it was much easier to book things.

    Right. Also heard WWE Creative is having two days straight of 24 hour meetings. So ****s getting put together.

    Whether its put together correctly, is yet to be seen.

    I think it's important to note that while we bash Creative a lot ultimately the McMahons (Vince, Steph and Triple H) have the ultimate say in everything. I'm sure the WWE is in a big state of panic right now due to the Rumble hijack and Punk leaving. These are definitely interesting times and you have to wonder what plans, if any will change.

    I'd love to see the Punk thing turn into a storyline, instead of a shoot, and have him come back and work WM. It would be great if the WWE for WM's main event do a 4 Way for the WWE title with Orton vs. Batista vs. Punk vs. Bryan but to set that up Punk and Bryan would have to win matches at either a RAW leading up to WM or at WM itself. How great would it be for the first match be a qualifying tag team match of Punk & Bryan vs. Triple H & someone else, maybe HBK or Nash or the NAO, and Punk/Bryan win that match. Then at the 4 way the last two guys end up being Punk and Bryan at the end with Bryan finally winning. That would be an epic ending and the fans would really get behind.

    At the very least Bryan should pull double duty at WM and beat Triple H in order to turn the WWE title match into a 3 way with him winning the title.

    Punk is a ****ing baby.

    If I was the WWE, I would OBLITERATE him on Monday. Just trash that lil ***** at the top of each hour, and be done with him. Let him go to TNA and put them out of business.

    What news brings you to that pov? Just the stuff thats out or is there more? Still think this could be a work personally...but maybe thats just me being a huge punk mark? If its true, then yeah I get that feeling.

    My first post had my feelings about the Punk decision and I'm guessing Samphin probably feels the same way but I don't want to speak for him. However what exactly does Punk have to be mad about? The guy is making the third most money of any active wrestler in the company. Is always featured in important matches and storylines and was getting the 2nd or 3rd most important match on the WM card. He's acting like he's getting buried and forgotten about. He's mad guys like The Rock come back and take a WM spot from someone else but he doesn't realize with The Rock coming back it helped the WWE get more media exposure and put more money in Punk's pocket because the last two WM have been the biggest buyrates in history. He also had no problem with Jericho coming back and laying down for him a few years ago.

    I love Punk but I think he's acting like a spoiled brat here too. He's reportedly mad because he wants to be in the WM main event but come on. I really do hope its a work.

    Funny thing is if Punk goes to TNA no one would care. Maybe the rating of his first show does a better rating but after that he won't do a damn thing to help them. I feel like he thinks he's more important than he is, plus TNA might not even be around in July when he's allowed to wrestle somewhere else.

    And you know Triple H is going to blast him on Monday and rightfully so. The company os bigger than 1 wrestler, always has been and always will be.

    If this a work, then great. But if it is a work, it is only because they turned this real situation into one. Which still means Punk is being a baby...again.

    Dude is Teflon with the audience and is one of the better workers ever. But honestly, at one point do you look at him and say, enough is enough? And pulling this during the company's most important run of the year, is just telling of Punk. If he is legit hurt, and asked for time off...fine. But all reports appear to lead towards him being unhappy with creative and as such, took his ball and went home.

    Fine. Stay home then.

    Good first hour of RAW tonight. Lots of hardway juice with both Swagger and Reigns being busted open. And ending with a cage match...nice.

    Road Dogg almost got Rhodes killed. The nostalgia run is over. Get the belts off of these old guys and keep them out of the ring. That scared the hell out of me.

    RAW was...long. First hour was good, and then it just dragged until the main event. And even then, they couldn't just let Bryan end the show on top. A needless beat down which makes me think that Bryan just bit the Kane bullet for WM.

    It freaking drives me crazy that they can't just let Bryan get the win and stand tall at the end of RAW. Orton is a heel and is the champion, he doesn't need to get his heat back with a post match beatdown. They spend the whole show talking about Bryan as the face of the WWE and the last image is him laying face down in the ring. It's the little things like that that really bug me.

    I don't think they're THAT stupid to book a Bryan/Kane match for WM. I think it's either going to be Bryan/Triple H or Bryan in the WWE title match. Unless they want to really give Bryan the rub and book a qualifying match of Bryan vs. Kane and if Bryan wins he's inserted into the WWE title match. That way Bryan does double duty and gets his big WM moment.

    Some WWE news/rumors:

    There is talk that Brock Lesnar vs. Batista might take place at WM now. Undertaker vs. Brock is pencilled in but the WWE is worried that Brock won't be willing to go to Texas to rehearse the match with Taker, like he and his opponents have in the past. If Lesnar isn't willing to go and Taker requests a new opponent, Batista is the back up plan for Brock. It would either be a straight up singles match or for the WWE title, the most talked about outcome is Brock taking Christian's spot in the EC and winning it. It should be noted that Brock isn't scheduled to be at the EC or work any RAWs until March I believe.

    Hulk Hogan won't be wrestling at WM30 as the WWE doctors didn't clear him so he'll most likely be the official "host" of WM30 much like The Rock was a few years ago.

    The WWE wants to reach a deal with Sting within the next 2 weeks or so. They want to promote him with the WWE Network. The offer is limited work (ala Brock) and potentially being an on-air personality like GM.

    Most wrestlers are happy Punk is gone since it opens up a spot for someone else and he wasn't very well liked backstage due to his negative attitude and his mood swings. Many tried to reach out to Punk via call, text or email but Punk only responded to 1 person. Vince was the only WWE front office official to reach out to Punk as he wants to be the one talking to him directly but so far Punk has been silent.

    Stephanie McMahon recently met with Stacey Keibler in NY as the WWE wants Stacey to appear at WM30 and at over shows. Word is the deal they offered her is pretty good financially and she's considering it.
