Laugh. Dont waste tears on that.


Seriously, MVP? If he is 'investing' where did he get his money from, drug deals? Just one more stupid TNA reveal. I honestly think they come up with a story, then scramble to fill the role. They could not have possibly planned for it to be him all along. Quite sad if they did.

Is the MVP's TNA push akin to WCW's last stand with Booker T's World title run?

Remember when he lost all those matches a few years back. We was betting on the other guy and taking dives.

I wonder if MVP helped Cena at Benoit's house. Always seemed like too big a cover-up for one man & we all know MVP has no problem getting his hands dirty. Could explain where he has all this money all of the sudden... I bet Cena would pay well.

Well, not that in and of itself it isn't dumb as hell, but TNA is probably drawing on WWE continuity in which MVP was like a rich sports mogul or whatever.

Also, look who's on this WWE signing schedule for fucking WrestleMania:

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/449407-wwe-announces-wrestlemania-30-axxess-signing-schedule

Fun fact: the WWE figured out how the Internet works years ago. Everything you read on dirt sheets is a work.

 

[nightmare]

Eh. Still not buying that it is a work. At this point I dont even care. If he shows up then im happy because it would suck for me as a fan if he is legit gone.


What is interesting though is that it seems Vince may be the voice of reason for once. If its true he wants Punk back & HHH doesnt- that is awesome. I am sure that pisses Hunter off considering he is head of talent & Punk basically said he doesnt think HHH @ Wrestlemania is a worthy match. I would have loved to see his face for that reaction.

Wait... you find it harder to believe that it's a work than a shoot?

 

[nightmare]

For me, more signs point to him just saying fuck it & going home. It is much more likely that happened than this is all a master plan. Especially with everyone running around & screaming "It's a work!" at every damn thing that seems to happen lately.


I just dont see an outcome that makes sense for it to be some sort of work. What, he gets pissed he is stuck fighting The Authority- leaves- and still ends up fighting The Authority? Right back exactly where he started does not seem like a great idea for an elaborate work.


Unless he comes back and fights Batista for his shot or actually gets into the ME at Wrestlemania- I dont see how it makes sense. That in itself is kind of bullshit & wont happen- because jumping over Bryan like that would be fucked up & piss way more people off. You think people are angry about Batista? Can you imagine the pure hatred for Punk & the WWE if they gave him the spot that everyone wants Bryan to have? The fans would completely shit on every live broadcast & it would be horrible.

 

[Miko]

Reckon Harthan's head would've exploded by this point.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. This isn't an attempt from the WWE to get Punk out of his storyline to fight someone else, this is an attempt to get Punk and the storyline he's working over.

The idea that the WWE would give Punk a "better" match at WrestleMania after this type of behavior is ludicrous. If Punk really thought that this stunt would result in the WWE changing their plans, he's shitting himself. That's why I think most people are pretty convinced this is a work.

Reckon Harthan's head would've exploded by this point.

Please don't get banned, Miko. I'd miss your smile.

 

[hatehabsforever]

I will be flabbergasted if this whole CM Punk thing isn't a work. I am 100% convinced that it is a work. Everything about it screams kayfabe. I have no doubt that there is some factual basis behind it. I'm sure he wishes to main event Wrestlemania. He probably resents the fact that he cannot surpass John Cena as the top guy, and he is probably resentful of the fact that Daniel Bryan has skyrocketed past him in popularity. He is certainly pissed off at having to take a back seat to guys like Brock Lesnar, Dave Batista, the inevitable Undertaker return and dare I say it, the debut of Sting (or at least the rumors swirling all around it). I'm convinced that the man is hurting physically and fatigued mentally.

Having said all of this, he is 35 years old. What is he going to do? Retire? Return to the indies? I don't care how financially secure he is, I can't imagine he is walking away from a large payday on the grandest stage of them all, near the top of the card, just so he can talk his ball and go home. I'm simply not buying it. At all.

 

[CH David]

I'm happy for you buddy. I've been trying to lose some weight too just to make things easier on my shins, but have not made much progress, probably because I'm not really counting calories.

Still, I'm sure you're feeling good these days, and I hope you can keep it up!

Thanks man.

I stopped counting calories after like August lol. Since I started working out in the morning, my appetite is more in line. Not overeating and really cut down on pop/alcohol. The pop was killer for me. I'd have one or two every day at work.

You'll get where you want to be. Keep at it, and you'll feel good and your shins will be feeling better. Hopefully anyway haha. I will say this, with it being winter, getting up at 4:00am can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

Fair enough, that's a valid point. Except 10 weeks away from a milestone version of the biggest show of the year in professional wrestling, an awful lot of things are. Especially when revolving around a guy notorious for exploiting social media and working the IWC. And where it blends in perfectly with a matchup already speculated to be in the works anyway, but elevating it and bringing it a little more intensity, and getting the fans more invested in it. Just wait to see the commencement of the Bryan-esque "CM Punk" chants over the next few weeks on WWE programming. And watch his name explode all over social media.

 

[justinsayne]

Except for the fact that WWE has not mentioned Punks name once in regard to him walking out. The IWC makes up only a small portion of their audience, & casual fans don't read dirt sheets & follow everything on social media as much you'd think. Also lets not forget everybody was shouting from the rooftops that Edge's retirement was a work, & the same with AJ Styles recently leaving TNA, again not everything is a work.

I don't remember anybody saying Edge's retirement was a work. I remember a lot of people saying they wished it was a work, but I don't think any significant number of people believed that it wasn't real.

Everything about this is too well orchestrated to not be a work by my estimation.

Jesus, CM Punk only "walked out" five days ago, I can hardly fault WWE for not addressing the matter quite yet. After all, Smackdown hasn't even aired yet. I don't read spoilers, so I have no idea what is going to happen on the show tonight but I can only assume he is not part of the Elimination Chamber, because if he is, what the hell is he complaining about?

Plus, WWE not acknowledging it only adds realism to it in my view, making it a more effective work. Make it feel and seem as real as possible, which only adds to the drama when he returns.

The IWC may only be a fraction of the overall audience, but that's all it takes to create a vibe in the crowd and the next thing you know, a movement such as the "yes" chant is in full force. And I imagine with the way WWE push their app down our throats every opportunity they get, and with their network launch around the corner, there are probably more fans on social networking and such than you are giving them credit for. Everything and everyone is on the social media scene, and WWE is no different.

Maybe you are right Justin, but it just all seems to be too perfect to not be a work. I will be shocked if CM Punk is not back by Wrestlemania 30 and in a significant capacity.

And I'm also not so sure that AJ Styles isn't returning to TNA at some point as well, although I think that is more legitimate and less work than the CM Punk scenario.

Where you see well orchestrated others see damage control.


Either way at this point, it is all speculation. Right now ,with everything as a whole, the WWE is in a chaotic time & there are so many directions everything can go. For the first time in a while things are very unpredictable & that has an air of excitement that has been lacking for quite some time. I am just going to enjoy the ride- hope Bryan gets the belt, that Punk (no matter why he left) does come back & that Batista just goes away.

 

[JGlass]

I think the phrase, "You have to watch ______," may be my least favorite phrase in the world. I don't have to do shit.

I also realized today that I may be too nice of a person. I'm not joking. I do people so many favors every day of my life, and I expect nothing in return, and lately that's started to become apparent to me and I've realized that quite a few people take advantage of me, including people I consider to be friends.

 

[nightmare]

Yeah, after a while people just expect you to be 'that guy'. Kind of makes me want to be a dick at times & say no, but then being a nice guy takes over and I do the favor anyway. So I feel you on that one buddy.


Just a general conclusion or did something spark that thought?

Well earlier today I helped a girl I'm friends with move some stuff from a town about 30 mins away to her new house and then went to Home Depot with her and helped her get paint for her room. She bought me lunch, gave me gas money, and told me that I should go home without even having to help her paint. So that was really nice.

Then I got home and I drove my friend to the train station (which wound up being about a 20 minute round trip) to pick up his friend. He did not give me gas money. Then later that night we played a game similar to beer pong, and we used 8 of my beers to play it. I suggested we play another round using his beers, and he immediately refused because his beers are apparently super hard to get and apparently he's saving them for a special occasion.

If it was just one night of unreturned favors, I wouldn't be too upset, but it occurred to me recently that I have done him probably hundreds of really solid favors since we've moved in, and he's only done a few for me, and most of them have been pretty weak favors.

 

[nightmare]

I get what you are saying. Its not like you are counting favors or anything. At some point though, it becomes obvious how one sided things can be. Just know that means you are a far better friend to count on when the chips are down or a hand is needed. No need to really upset the balance of things, but keep that in the back of your mind when those type of people need something. You dont have to feel as bad for saying no, or being less likely to help as often.


You are a good dude. It may not always be paid back by those that should, but the good deeds\karma always come back to you somehow.


With the beer thing, that does irritate me as well because I know a guy just like that. He is the first one in the fridge when I have people over. He will only buy the real expensive stuff & throws a fit if anyone wants any- yet has no problem drinking the good bottles first of what anyone else has. We just started keeping the real top shelf stuff away until those type of people leave. I am not a scrooge, but I will be damned if I always pay for the good beer & never get any because of people like that.

Yeah, I probably need more lady friends in my life. Maybe I'll meet some at Marshalls today when I go to buy work clothes. From what I understand, the ladies love the designer clothes at discount prices that Marshalls has to offer.
