TSC's Official WWE Network Thread

[Silkk]

Look at the mainstream coverage they received for Brock and Goldberg.

Survivor series was sold out long before that was announced. I asked what shows other than Wrestlemania do the older stars sell?

Any show they appear on. Watch how they sell the Rumble this year. Alamo Dome isn't going to sell itself.

Any show they appear on huh? They sure seem to make a point to stay away during the times when they could really be used as in this very moment, or the post WM months.

You can't put someone on a Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania and claim they're the reason for it selling. Those events sell themselves.

Summer of Punk is trash and y'all know it. Even the pipe bomb ain't shyt, considering it made absolutely no sense.

Dude who was a big indie star who got to keep his name and gimmick, got a heavily hyped debut, was made a face of a brand, was the World Champion 2 years in, won MITB TWICE in a row, cashed in AGAIN, headlined multiple PPVs, and got two stables was held down by THE MAN. Then you get to the voice of the voiceless bullshyt, when both the Punk character and the man's entire point was he wanted more money for himself. He wanted to be on the cups, on the ice cream, on the everything. He wanted his name exploited MORE for financial gain. He didn't give a fukk about the rest of the roster, and again, that's both on and off screen.

Never mind the booking had him back and giggling with HHH a few weeks later while he wore HHH's blazer that was 2 sizes too big because Punk wouldn't lift some fukking weights. The actual message being sent out in those Punk promos were almost the opposite of what WWE and he portrayed them as.

Punk definitely was a mark for himself in various ways, but he also had some good rationale in his general argument. Dudes are so invested and get bent out of shape whenever the topic of The Summer Of Punk and his eventual exodus is brought up.

I enjoyed his promos during that time because although somewhat exaggerated, everyone knew those where his genuine feelings he was expressing in those promos on Triple H, Nash, Vince, Laurenits , Rock and Cena. The realism is what I enjoyed. I couldnt care less about how much he drew as a champ. For a time, Punk made wrestling feel real again, the likes we haven't seen since Bret/HBK.

A lot of the old school shyt from the 80s is more exciting than this stuff today.

I remember how much of a big deal it was when heels went at one another in the Rumble and it SURE was a big deal when faced clashed

Breh, mil mascaras eliminating himself is the funniest shyt ever. I remember konan and Jericho laughing like a motherfukker about this and Prichard with the "NO YOB" shyt on his podcast was hillarious.

Watching the exchanges HBK had with XPac and Triple H during episode 289. This was some real life shooting between them. You could tell HBK was salty that Triple H took the ball from him and went levels with DX in terms of popularity and apart of the shift in bringing the WWE back around in competiing with WCW.
