Jesus Christ, dude. You are a fucking simp. Wins and losses mean DICK. Is Punk somehow less over now than he was at the Rumble? No, he isn't. Is Jericho some irrelevant chump despite the fact that he loses 80% of his matches? No, he isn't. You seriously need to take a step back and allow people to educate you on how this shit actually works because you have a very elementary understanding professional wrestling.
CM Punk held the title for 434 days or whatever and it took one of the top 3 wrestlers of all time to take it from him. He then had to face Cena and after 2 years of Punk outsmarting and getting the better of Cena, Cena finally got him. The Kane thing is ridiculous because no one but you even remembers that. He lost as part of an angle, he didn't look weak losing to Kane after a distraction by the Undertaker. Your underselling of Punk winning the mindgames with Taker really drives home your lack of understanding. Undertaker is the king of mindgames and Punk getting the better of him in a build to a WM match was a huge rub.
Wins and losses only matter when you're not a good enough character to bounce back from a loss. Look at The Miz. Miz's WWE Title reign was booked phenomenally and he was almost believable as the champion for a while. Then he lost the title and was never able to come even close to where he was because he sucks as a character. They could have put a million different guys in that spot and would have had the same outcome.
You seriously need to take a step back and try to gain some knowledge from some of these people because my friend, you are stupid. I don't say that as an insult, I say that as a factual observation. Every single thing that you have said since joining this forum has been from a place of misinformation and/or lack of understanding. Your stubborness isn't doing you any favors either. There's certainly room for differing opinions, but yours are very misinformed.
As for the topic, I don't know. The Rumble is still 6 months away and I can't imagine that the WWE has even contemplated that far into the future. Punk makes sense, though I was hoping for the fabeled dream match with Austin, but I'd be okay with them going this route. It's hard to predict because you never know who is going to be hot at any given time and who is going to fade into obscurity.
he may be at the same overness level. but he for sure is less credible. and u are so fucking ignorant man, i swear to god. u think losing to the rock and john cena will help ur credibility against the undertaker???
jericho is not irrelevant, not even close. but he is a transitional champion. when was the last time he was WHC? exactly.. u just proved my point.
first of all, how would people believe that cm punk would beat undertaker if he cannot even beat the rock or john cena???
dude, u cannot speak for the minds of a casual fan. a fucking casual fan does care aobut wins and loses.. and those 3 matches - elimination chamber, royal rumble, and the match against john cena. were 3 of punk's most important matches of his CAREER. and he lost 3 of his most IMPORTANT matches of hsi career! what do u think casuals are going to think about that?? HUH???? of course it wont help when ur fighting undertaker. if ur challenging for the legendary streak, u have to look like the strongest man alive. wel lets see, they dropped the ball with teaming shield up with cm punk.. if shield was on punk's side, it would give him massive credibility. if he beat a big star on the road to wrestlemania at least ONCE, then he wouldve had another massive credibility. but no, somehow, wwe thought it was a good idea to job out cm punk 3 times.
LOOK at edge, look how he was booked on the road to wrestlemania. he barely lost any matches because he was going up against the FJUCKING STREAK! u cant go up for the streak without winning any important matches man
and btw, the miz never recovered because he lost to alex riley, of all people. imagine beating the face of the copany at the best stage of all in the main event.. Then u loes to a fucking rookie, alex riley, and then u lose to mysterio, and then u keep on losing and losing. and then u are de elevated to mid card title status. the miz just kept on losing and losing. and he kept on going downnnnn hill
punk definitely looked weak when he went up against kane. kane wasnt even booked well that time, if kane was an unstoppable monster, then punk wouldve kept his momentum, but no, kane was horribly booked as well. losing to another badly booked person will make ur crediblity die even more.
and by the fucking way, if wins and losses are so overrated like u say they are, why doesnt john cena lose 3 ppv matches in a row? why doesnt he even lose 2 raw matches in a row? its very rare that these 2 things happen. because of course wwe creative loves to kiss his ass, so they want to protect him as much as possible and build credibility. this alone is proof that wins and losses DO matter.
i think it is you who should be learning stuff, not me. u are so ignorant, and i odnt say this because i am angry, i say this because it is true.
