As would Punk vs Bryan, or Punk vs any Shield member. We're missing out on a lot of good stuff cause Punk is gone.

In other news, I might need to change my avi to Alicia Fox.

Punk is great on the mic as a heel. He's not in the ballpark of greatest as a face. He's entertaining in the ring and no one can sell a beat down like Punk, but all the hoopla of how great he is inside the ropes is overrated.

Also I'm hoping before the Cana - Watt feud is over that we get treated to meeting Sister Abigail to scare Wyatt.

Give Ziggler another valet or manager and put him in position for the IC belt. He's not top card, but he's really fun to watch.

Also, I think ADR was a great heel until he got buried, just like Ziggler.

It's crazy how creating characters works. The Rosebuds seem to be failing, yet Bad News and Fandango caught on. For every Tensai flop, there's an equally weird success story.

Look up "Mika Rotunda" to see Bray & Bo's real life sister. Worth a look IMO

Or just here ya go:

(warning: that last one contains Bray Wyatt as Fred Flintsone - look at your own risk)

A Ziggler-Barrett feud would be awesome if they let them really brawl it out.

when was Sheamus heel last month?

Like Notorious said, when they had Sheamus brogue kick Ambrose and win the US Title, it was suposed to put him over as a heel. Except, well, no one noticed (or really cared that much). So they just acted like nothing happened and went back to serving up jobber heels like Titus to get Sheamus over again as a face.

She's hot, but thanks to her belly button she has earned the nickname "The Angry Outtie" in our house.

The fact that they didn't tell Cole and JBL about her planned outburst a couple of weeks ago made for some of the best couple of broadcast minutes in a long time IMO. JBL being mostly speechless and looking genuinely confused, followed by saying somebody needed to get the tranquilizer gun, was good TV.

They need to put a wrestler in the bunny costume and let Swagger do a finisher on him.........that would be funny!

I follow the WWE Bunny on Twitter. I should be ashamed of that, probably, but strangely I am not...

I would put her in the cute category, altho she's got the Leno chin going on, kinda like Britney Jackson.

Vince McMahon has weathered some tough storms, but it looks like this may be the one that finally ousts him from WWE and possibly even lands him in jail:

WWE News: Vince McMahon Loses $350 Million In One Day, Could Be Forced Out As CEO

That article takes some SERIOUS liberties and seemingly knows nothing about how the wrestling business operates. The TV deal was underwhelming and network subscribers are only about half of what they could be, but this isn't going to send McMahon to jail and it's HIGHLY unlikely they unseat him at CEO. Vince got WWE there and he took out every competitor along the way.

Vince owns 51% of the stock anyways. Wouldn't he be fine as long as he is the majority stockholder?

That's the thing tho: the business has changed cause of the Network. It's not gonna reach it's goal. The people that are gonna get the network, have already done so, unless WWE does something drastic. In light of that, subscriptions may go the opposite direction, unless they do something really drastic. PPV revenue is gonna be basically nonexistent. People underestimate how big a hit this is. It's nearly 1/4 of his wealth. Vince may not go to jail (because he's wealthy, not because he's innocent), but heads will definitely roll, particularly in the front office. Sadly it looks like there could be a few roster cuts too, beyond the normal cleanings they do.

The TV deal could've made up some for this disaster, but they got majorly shortchanged there too. All around this has been a debacle.

They may have not put all their eggs in one basket, but they sure put a lot of them in it. And now those eggs are broken.

he bounced from being a billionaire twice from situations like this. He actually had a net worth approaching 2 billion just 20 some months ago. He's not going to jail, because it's not really something he would serve time for.There's also no one right now that can do a better job than he is doing. Management will get moved around but WWE will still be controlled by Vince.

I'm so excited that Raw is coming back to Knoxville on Monday. It looks like it's going to be a really good one too. This is my first time going to a wrestling event. :pepper: :rock:

Great story on the Jim Ross podcast about JR working with the Falcons in the early 90s and always dealing with Deion Sanders in the 3rd person as a running joke asking to speak to Prime Time.

Years later, he's in a creative meeting talking with Dwayne Johnson about getting his character more over and says, "Hey. You know who we ought to have you act like? ......"

Either way, Punk already has his first pipe bomb built in and ready to go when he comes back. And it's gonna be glorious.

The chances of Punk doing a pipe bomb involving the WWE stock price are about the same as me getting into the Olympics in rhythmic gymnastics.

I love his podcast. That Goldberg interview was solid.

He doesn't have to mention stock tho. He's done worse, like talk about how crappy USA network shows are.
