CI Wrestling Thread #56

If I remember correctly, Punk's side of the story is that in his final months with WWE, he was sick or had some sort of injury and one of the company doctors said it wasn't serious and just kept giving him Z-Paks which didn't help and eventually (in Punk's words) lead to him shitting himself on the way to the ring on Smackdown. He was miserable and when he did receive time off, Vince would call and want him back immediately. All of this happened years before the pandemic.

Ok sure - I stand corrected - I don’t remember all that happening

Np, I may have gotten the timing wrong but Punk aired his grievances on Colt Cabana's podcast years ago. AJ convinced him to go see her doctor instead and it was some sort of large boil or infection that was making him sick, which caused him to sue the WWE doctor because said doctor was saying "Here, take a Z-Pak" every week.

Edit: looked it up and Punk had a staph infection

Punk won in court against the doctor I believe.

Other than “that segment was such a grand slam even Tony Khan couldn’t screw it up,” I don’t know what Cornette could say negative about it.

Meltzer is saying Bray Wyatt to AEW is likely happening.

Punk was the #1 and #2 top trending vids on YouTube today.

Some of the answers to the after show media scrum with punk and tk were interesting. Sounds like he’s wanted to come back for awhile but wouldn’t until fans were back.
 
  • Was this the actual order of live presentation? I mean, did they really follow CM Punk with Jurassic Express vs. Matt Hardy + Private Party? People would probably leave.
  • Great promo by Mox.
  • Mox is poised to get launched into the stratosphere. DG is a nice bridge, but we need...yeah, tap.
The show was live so everything went in the order we saw it. Everyone was so hyped after punk it really didn’t matter what went on after. Nothing could follow it.

Speaking of Mox, did he look like he’d put on weight to anyone else? Arms and chest looks bigger and face more round. I guess it could be the haircut throwing me off but he looks bigger.
 
Just watched the whole promo and goddamn I love CM Punk. Little grayer than he used to be. Still can handle a hot mic. I don’t know who this Darby feller is but if he’s rollin with Sting he’s at least worth checking out.

May just watch that PPV in a couple weeks and I’ve never ordered a PPV in my life.
 
I watched the clip that just went up on YouTube and I have to say JC made a lot of really good points.
Also the artwork as usual was awesome!!

Becky squashes Bianca Belair? I don’t disagree with the winner but in 30 seconds you killed everything you built with Belair over the course of the last few months.

Dang I don’t get the squash but I still don’t think Bianca has the “it” factor - can’t put my finger on it - maybe just needs a couple more years of seasoning
 
Love Becky being back. Hate that she immediately gets handed the title. Laughed at the announcers literally screaming for two minutes as if it's the biggest return of the weekend, but they're just doing their job, which is to scream like lunatics.

That was the Vince pulling his collar, right?

the Punk Punk one should be up soon. The Bobby Eaton one has gotten almost 300K. I’ll bet the Punk one will as well
 
I meant to ask earlier. What was the deal with the free ice cream at AEW? Was there a story to that or something? That seemed just random.
 
At this rate before Charlotte retires she will have 100 title reigns which might be impressive but will be impossible to beat Jerry lawler’s 168 title reigns.

Maybe I’m deaf but her pop wasn’t as big as Punks from the videos I’ve seen. A lot of people were just standing and not doing anything.
They had good pops its hard to tell from TV and from phone cameras. When I went to wrestlemania this year it was so loud and then when I rewatched it and watched what I recorded it never sounds right. With that being said Punk had what might be the greatest pop of all time.
 
Brock is back sooner than I thought. Maybe the Rock is too busy. I wonder how much of the salaries of those layed off by WWE it took to get Brock back.
 
SS felt like a 9 hr. show.

Doudrop reminds me of Amy Schumer
Poor McIntyre. "Listen pal, thanks for helping us though the pandemic and no live crowd situation. Here's a Braveheart sword and Jinder Mahal for your troubles."
Edge went to a dark place. That's right - back when he was a tan daywalker from Blade. I hate Seth Rollins. Loathe his stupid face. He's going to retire in a decade and open a hot yoga place
Xavier Woods belongs on AEW's YT show
Lashley beat up a kid
Reigns/Cena was good, but no classic. Already knew about Brock's new look, but who's going to talk for the big bastard? He sounds like Casey Kasem.
