OT: The WWE Thread

DowNY · Post #481 » by **DowNY** » Sat Feb 1, 2014 10:17 pm

WWE mentioned CM Punk in a tweet yesterday.

- Word on the street, HHH feels mixed & disrespected by Punk but Vince wants CM Punk back. (Work or no?)

- Triple threat match for title at WM30 is basically the plan now with Orton & Batista already set in the match.

- Still contemplating whether to have Daniel Bryan in the triple threat match or replace CM Punk in the Authority's storyline.

- The Shield to have a match between each other at WM30. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

- Hulk Hogan to host WM30

- Sting to sign & debut the day after WM30.

Bray Wyatt aling with Reigns and Ambrose, three future stars. Bray is amazing on the mic.

It could be a work if Vince and Punk swore themselves to secrecy.

If anyone has watched the Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels documentary, Bret talked about the lengths him and HBK were willing to go to make their hatred for each other as believe as possible.

We'll see. I didn't think it was a work originally either, but they have to find new ways in this social media era to still throw swerves to fans.

"The Universe" knows how passionate & a bit emotional CM Punk is when it comes to the business. That's where the company can use that to the storyline's advantage.

Even if it's not a work, who's to say things can't be patched up before it's too late & actually used in the storyline as a work?
Vince is said to have a good relationship with Punk, unlike HHH. Also, Vince seems like a man who has learned from his mistakes. No way will he just sit back & let 1 of his best workers leave right before WM30.
After Austin leaving in 02', no way Vince lets it just happen again.

That's exactly whats gonna happen but Vince's line of thinking right now is to use what's happening as a work and call all of this a swerve.

Yup, I love Bray Wyatt. Reigns got the look but his moveset and mic skill is pretty limited. Simmons had a podcast with Cousin Sal and said his 9 yr old is a "little sweet on Reigns" lol.

Bray is one of the main reasons I watch WWE. He's just so different, his entrance is amazing, his look is creepy/cool and his words straight up poetic in a chilling way.

Looks like the Shield did a promo on CM Punk and Randy Orton took a shot on Punk as well.

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/The ... _Emma.html

There were lots of CM Punk chants at last night's live event in Wichita. It was announced earlier in the show that fans could get refunds for CM Punk not being there. The Shield cut a promo on Punk not being there and said we should all be glad that he went home.

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/Ort ... _Fury.html

Randy Orton cut promo before his match with John Cena at last night's WWE live event in Orlando and said a line that had many fans thinking he took a shot at CM Punk leaving. Orton said, "If at first you don't succeed, quit."

When Austin walked away WWE was lucky they had a mega star like the rock who could cut a promo on Austin and still be cheered. If anyone comes out and rips CM Punk the fans will boo the hell out of them. Daniel Bryan might be the only guy who could get away with it but he will look like an obvious sell out and, considering he's battling the authority, it would make no sense.

Aaanndd WWE has started to bury Punk

Mick Foley feels like its a loss for WWE and CM Punk if its true that he did indeed quit and not coming back. Foley should work for the creative team, this man is a wrestling god.

haven't followed WWE but I like reading this thread from time to time.

What happened with Punk?

Why are the shield going to fight each other at WM?

Is the Sting signing confirmed? When was his last match at TNA?

Nobody knows what happened to Punk and why he decided to leave. Some say he is taking time off to recover from his injuries, others say he is gone for good because he doesn't like the direction of the WWE. It's looking like its not a work but I'm sure the WWE can some how make it a work and convince him to come back for WM.

As for the Shield. the WWE has been wanting to push Roman Reigns for a while now. They believe he can be a breakout star, so they need to break them up.

I haven't been following anything on Sting but I read the rumours. Not sure if its confirmed or not but one of my dream matches would be Sting vs Undertaker.

Wait Batista came back and won the Royal Rumble?

Yes, and the fans let him have it that night and on Monday night raw. Stupid decision by Vince, Batista will face Orton at WM for the title if Orton doesn't lose it in the Elimination Chamber match.

Things are not looking good for the WWE. Punk in a recent interview before he left, was complaining on how the creative are not organized. How they are still planning matches for WM 30, he said if he ran WWE he would have WM30 already planned out and would be work on WM 31 right now.

the new age outlaws are tag champs...

is this good or bad? I would think bad. did they at least put on a good match? cause I had heard the Cody and Goldust tag team were actually really good.

It could be semi-good if they go with a HHH Corporate Buddies storyline by having Nash, X-Pac & NAO all in some type of capacity. NAO are the champs, X-Pac I'm guessing will be the US or Intercontinental champion & Nash will just be a bodyguard. Their match on raw was pretty terrible & the match at RR I didn't see.
