SES had potential but like omst other things with potential it turned to shyt, all it needed was one high profile disciple to follow punk and it would have been fine. Almost had it in Rey but I dont even know what happend to that.

He's been alright but the funny promo style isn't his best and he's losing momentum. The direction of the Jericho feud took a wrong turn with the family angle. Felt a little generic.
What's crazy is that you'd expect bringing family and alcohol abuse into an angle would liven it up...if for the wrong reasons. It only served to make Punk/Jericho even more boring.

The problem was that it started off with those cryptic message from Jericho and then it manifested into the "Best in the World" faceoff. That wasn't good enough while Rock/Cena and Taker/Cripple H was getting screentime and fanfare from the majority of fans. So they added the family thing and usually Jericho has a good mind for what can be a hot feud/angle but this feels a little like a miss. I don't care what anyone says..the match at Mania felt a little boring. I don't think it was all that good and the crowd only got it into close to the finishes. People around me kept dissing it but this one dude kept blaming it on the Taker/Cripple H match absorbing the heat from the crowd.

So...

You both obviously read the parts where I criticized dangling plot threads, boring twists, and rushed plotting, and referenced them yoursleves.

but you both still came to the conclusion that I blame Punk for his crappy reign.

How's that work, again?



your thread title brought the wolf out,....

no offense as it isn't aimed directly at you,...

it is the title is written in verbiage like a random noob mark.

which can't be right cause this is the new tsc ii.

which means most posters especially you.

are pretty keen when it comes to being educated above just random mark-dom.

so that gets your thread titled labeled as a blatant and visceral attempt to make a platinum thread.

on a smark-ish forum that is educated and pophuated with a healthy surplus of noobs.

held in check by a smart community.

since i am a smart,..i said phuck your attempt to plat thread troll.

then proceeded to give your attempt the proper tablin', it deserves in one post.

just to keep the muck from gettin stirred up into all hell.

i hate battle royal new fed episodes, for no reason.

other than to get a pier six started just because.

if we are gonna get a pier six started it would probably have been monday.

if the servers were running well on raw at the double h.


now it seems the next real pier six, shouldn't be scheduled till probably the impact thread i haven't gotten through till yet.


hopefully we can get this fed running red hot with sohh.

i want two belts in two hit feds at one time got damn it.

plus i am interested in seeing who gon try to get tabled reaching for the strap in the new coli, too.

i can get some new interesting continuity and squashes in the new coli.

i'm lovin' it!!

lol @ the plea copping for Punk. Blame it on booking all you want. other superstars have done more with less. The Rock had no reason being in a feud with Billy Gunn, and yet he was able to pull it off and keep his momentum. Cena was feuding with one of the most boring superstar on the roster (Kane). And yet people still toned in. Hell, he's even made The Miz and most of all Wade Barrett, the definition of the word 'bland', look good. And yet, you mean to tell me he can't figure out a way to make his feuds with Jericho, HHH, Del Rio and Nash somewhat interesting?
Truth is, he doesn't cut it. He doesn't have what it takes to reach next level. Last summer was his peak and if he couldn't slam it home with the big names he feud with, what else is he gonna do? True stars turn water into wine. Punk doesn't have that quality. If he's not cutting a shoot promo, he's useless on the mic.

you must not be well versed in the booking lineage and practices of the wwe.

LOL....I BEEN sayin' this dude was gonna flop.

Nyggas let they heads swell up over that 'shoot' promo he did on Cena. Acting like that was gonna start a revolution. Acting like it was the best thing since the Austin 3:16 speech. Acting like he was some sort of master of ether, just because he talked about big-nose and his wife.

The only reason why Punk got such a boost in popularity was because of the hype over that 'shoot' promo. There were several other wrestlers who would've gotten the same response if they were in his spot that night (e.g. Christian or Ziggler)

The only thing this clown has going for him is that he's great in the ring and is slightly above average on the mic. That's IT. Dude is basically Bret Hart except unlike Bret, he can speak well on the mic but he still lacks the look and the aura of a true Superstar.

:wtf:

He's better than slightly above average on the mic, but even that description you just wrote puts him above 99% of the WWE roster

That's IT, though :childplease:

This.

Jericho came in with all the hype from those promos, and then they killed it by saying it was all bullshyt and it's just about being the best in the world. 2 dudes arguing about who's better was never gonna draw.

I still wish they used Steph as the girl in Jericho's videos, having her bring him back to kill off Punk as revenge for all the shyt he talked about her, Vinny, HHH. Jericho/Steph vs. Punk had crazy potential to me, esp if they screwed Punk out the title and made his rematch at WM.

Not at all...but its telling that you started off that weak rebuttal with some homosexual Punk narrative.

With Punk, the trends don't lie. His initial solo run - mainly forgettable. Straight Edge Society - cheap heat gimmick that flopped and left his buddies jobless. His Nexus was brutal to watch...and 10 times worse than Wade's Nexus. And of course, this solo run, which had a spark when it started, but now its just :scusthov:

Meanwhile - you have Daniel Bryan on the B-Show...and booking not doing him a whole lot of favors for majority of his career. They rarely let him work a style or wrestle long enough to showcase his vastly superior in-ring skill. However, he shores up his assumed weakness (talking) and is quickly on his way to being a star in the company. He went out there and made that shyt happen and we're not left here saying "bu bu bu but the company."

It's funny because whenever I see these anti-Punk diatribes, they always compare him to Bryan. Yup, everyone loves Bryan and agrees he's awesome. What's actually telling is that the only guy you can point to and say "look, Punk isn't as good as him!" is the consensus best guy in the company. This, of course, only stands to reinforce my previous statement that the company as a whole is shyt and it makes no sense to constantly criticize one of the other best guys in it.

You last sentence is really confusing because a) Punk went out there and made that shyt happen too - because you personally have some odd hatred for him and a small, extremist sect of IWC has turned on him, doesn't mean he didn't- and b) yes, you are saying the same "b-b-but the company" about Bryan. You complained about his booking and handling in the previous fukking sentence! :sitdown: You know they don't know what the fukk they're doing so stop being selective in who you give passes to.

And by the way...I didn't infer anything homosexual, nor was there any narrative, nor was there a debate so it wasn't a rebuttal. It was a simple question in reaction to your strange and emotional post that seemed less wrestling fan criticism and more personal vendetta.
