I will but I already admitted that The Rock's gimmick is played out. He's playing the face version of his character from 2003. That's 10 years, breh. Same jokes, same promos. Ten years and no new material later and it's still not unanimous that Punk got him? That's saying something.:leon:

I don't really watch wrestling so I'll admit that I don't know what he's been doing - only the shyt I found on youtube. As far as the straight edge shyt, I don't care - that's his personal choice. To me he actually seems like a cool dude from what I've seen. His MMA interviews with Ariel Helwani were interesting to me. I just don't think he's all that talented on the mic - that's all. :yeshrug:
Nah, I was just speaking on how his different characters come off convincing because of his mic work. He used to use a character back on the indys who was better than everyone because he was straight edge and even those guys who knew it wasn't real were booing him out of the building.

You should check for his promos on Jeff Hardy and his recent stuff with Cena & Rock though.

I mean you say he's overrated but who do you think is better? Rock & Austin are one thing because they were so polarizing to the general fan but after that he's pretty much been one of the best since the Attitude Era easily.

Why is water wet?

Why is the grass green?

Why is the sky blue?

So which part of that was false? The Rock = no evolution from 2003. Literally rehashing the same shyt - like his concert, for example.:what: Punk = perfecting his art for these 10 years and working his ass off non-stop with a huge advantage of being able to be candid and out of character :obama: They meet and somehow it still ends up being debated over who got who? That is the prime example of why Punk can never be on the level of guys like Austin, Rock, or HBK. He's not talented enough - it is what it is. :yeshrug:

Thet say he's good now but they were hiding under rocks before turned heel. Pretty much like the bandwagon Austin fanbase from 1997 and 1998 except Austin was always great from the get go.

Punk did a interview last year saying he was carrying things and putting asses in seats..Survivor Series 2012 numbers came back and he hasnt made a peep in that direction since. Just stopped speaking on the subject completely. Just like he did with Chris Brown.

Punk hasn't been a "shooting" character fulltime since 2011. Let that guy go already.

If it was so simple just to bend kayfabe to get famous how come R-Truth didn't blow up that same year?

Look up Cm Punk Eve Torres promo on youtube..he got murdered on the mic by that breezy..str8 up. It was fukking hilarious..dude looked shook like theyre saying Sheamus did in that World title burying promo in Punk's hometown of Chicago. Daniel Bryan came at him in some real shyt too but his best reply was GOAT FACE and theyre talking corny faces and nyggas of that caliber. Hypocritical fans that like to deflect from these filed actualities. They dont know what good mic work is. Agenda nyggas. They used to prop Blandy as good on the mic in 2009 just because he got pushed hard in 2008 and 2009. Hilarious.

That may be true but Cena vs Truth and Cena vs Punk are practically the same feud (hell, they both had a solo promo on top of the ramp bytching about the company to the audience and Truth's was longer) and yet Punk's worked while Truth's didn't. It's so easy, right?

bu-bu-bu-but it's a crutch that dirtbag stay breaking kayfabe :stopitslime:

What is it about Punk haters and refusing to live in reality? You said you havent seen anything. I just told you that Punk getting the upper hand was the consensus of wrestling fans...you respond by saying its not unanimous, desperately tried to spin that into a loss for Punk...and now you've convinced yourself that actually there was a big debate?

Where are you getting this from? Better yet...who are you and why do you feel the need to speak on shyt about which you know nothing?

I've read about that shyt here and it wasn't unanimous - at all. As far as who I am? A poster just like you with an opinion that just happens to differ from yours. :yeshrug: No need to catch feelings.

I mean Punk is better but to me atleast R-Truth is one of the better talents they have and he actually did get over in that feud. But the difference is, gimmick aside, Punk has always been favored in the company, Truth really hasn't. So they were more or less using that as a filler feud to build toward Punk/Cena.

for a supposedly unathletic guy, punk is crisp in the ring and has relatively believable fights

let alone how well he is on the mic

noone is really on his level except for a potential heel turn cena(let it happen :ohlawd:)

Maybe because it was a blatant attempt to recreate something that was not scripted? Did the R-Truth thing happen after punk? If so, that's kind of like The Miz going, "And that's the bottom line because The Miz said so". Just because it worked once for Stone Cold doesn't mean it'll work again for The Miz. I think if R-Truth did it first it would have had a similar effect. :yeshrug:
