CI Wrestling Thread #56

WWE released 2 new Braun Strowman shirts within the last 24 hours which is odd. Is he being brought back? His release to begin with was a head scratcher.

Cena is going to be at the Louisville house show on Sunday

oddly enough the last time I saw Cena in person was at a house show at Rupp in 2017. And he was by far the biggest star
 
PWInsider is saying Bryan Danielson is no longer in talks with wwe. They’ve pulled all his merch and taken him off all future projects.

Looking more and more like he ends up elsewhere. I would have bet on him staying.

If Tony could somehow pull off a surprise Danielson vs Punk at All Out or even the Arthur Ash show, that might get the biggest pop in decades.

If Bryan doesn’t go back to wwe I’m guessing he goes the route of showing up in different promotions. Njpw would certainly be one.

They’re actually old shirts from what I saw, there’s pics of him wearing the shirts when he was still with wwe. Wouldn’t shock me at all if he goes back at a cheaper price. But I wouldn’t read into merch as a clue. They probably keep merch up of all released talent until their non compete expires.

The various sites like the one linked are stating it is new merchandise. I don't ever remember seeing these shirts at all. Also there are plenty of rumors that he has resigned with WWE and a return is likely.

 
God spared no expense making this child. Dayum

He’s wearing the shirt in the pic for this article. He may well have re signed but it seems to be an old one. Websites were on a roll yesterday with using loose truth headlines to get clicks. They blew up the Hardy/Elite BTE skit yesterday as well acting like Hardy’s comments were in a shoot interview.

The shirts in link are black...That one is grey...might be a minimal difference but it is a difference nonetheless. There also look to be some differences in the designs as well. And one last thing, Braun wearing one doesn't mean it was released before. I don't ever remember seeing that shirt in the WWE Shop. Get these hands, etc were there.

If anyone is planning on going to the Louisville WWE Supershow John Cena has been added to it and pretty much every show leading up to SummerSlam.
 
I tune out any time I hear female wrestling podcast and interviewers (outside of Renee). It’s just I know they didn’t grow up watching it nor do they know anything about it and simply just started once they got hired on. Not to mention, they tend to try and dominate an interview.
Did you ever hear Alice that was with Cornette? Dear god…

What was the story with that woman? I quit listening after a while with her. Once I heard Brian joined him, I began listening again. Alice was a loon.

I was at that show.

The lineup for Sunday looks really good. You get both world champs, Cena, Orton, Riddle, Mysterio, AJ and McIntyre?

Not bad.

She was a super SJW and Cornette criticized something a Muslim did, so it set her off.

additionally, she was sending nudes to various listeners unsolicited. Basically, someone would open their Twitter messages and there was nude Alice.

She definitely had emotional or mental health issues

I know Jim is far left which is completely opposite of me, but he’s not politically correct and calls things how he sees them. She did seem more than left. She struck me just as you said. One of those SJW crazies who would be at protest and just scream in your Face if someone with opposing views tried to have civil dialogue.
 
So if Vince is sending a message to nxt what’s the point? Why call him up or anyone for that matter?
I don’t think he’s sending a message. He made Charlotte job out to Natalya when she was Nxt women’s champ and Charlotte was fine. They just do some dumb shit on raw occasionally.

that's apparently not the word on the street right now... he's sending a message to NXT for unknown reasons. Most likely having to move slots to Tuesday and keeping AEW unchecked on Wednesdays.

When Brian and Jim vaguely mentioned her a couple times on previous episodes, you could tell they thought she was completely nuts. Nice to get the backstory since I only began listening 2-3 years ago.

Charlotte is different b/c she’s a flair and the 4 horsewomen

Outside of drew/ko/Roman/Seth pretty much all the nxt callups have been disappointing/watered down
 
Also saw house show tix sales had been disappointing so that’s probably why you all are seeing these big names being added to the house show lineups

I never followed her, but a friend did just for her ridiculousness and said she had several meltdowns on Twitter

I would say pics or it never happened but then I googled her and No Bueno.
 
Cornette is a pretty ignorant hypocritical dude. I can't stand listening to him anymore. He has something wrong with him mentally. I've heard from people who know him that they believe he has some sort of condition. He needs help because his anger will drive him to death. I struggle to respect anyone who admires what he has become.

I have this reoccurring nightmare that if AEW signed Punk, they'd make him the new leader of The Dark Order, similar to WWE putting Punk with Nexus.

Seriously though, with crowds back and now this potential news, I'm somewhat excited about wrestling again.

If aew signs punk/Bryan/Strowman wonder if Christian will have regretted signing there - no way he main events there esp if Jay white is going to feud with omega too
 
I think TK has had Punk in his back pocket for a month or more now. Seems like Danielson is looking more likely as well. Sapp said there was even more than Punk and Danielson coming as well.

Khan has been very confident in interviews lately when discussing the future. He definitely seems to have aces up his sleeve.
 
Honestly, I think Daniel Bryan and Braun Strowman should re-sign with WWE, and AEW should pass on Punk. DB has kinda against the odds become a perennial title contender in the WWE, and he is a great ring tactician, but I've never found him charismatic or anything but average on the mic. Strowman was built up as a monster in the WWE, and he has a great look and is very strong, but again, pretty average on the mic. I just don't see either of them doing better or being as prominent in AEW as they were in WWE.

Punk screwed Punk, he took his ball and went home, and rightly or not created a chasm between himself and WWE. Then, he failed miserably at MMA, and has been on the sidelines pretty much ever since. Punk overvalues himself, thinks he can command millions to return to wrestling, but he has been irrelevant for years. He needs to prove himself all over again. Can he still wrestle at a high level, can he still handle the mic, is he going to be petulant and hard to deal with, etc. He's not worth a big payday to find out.
