[quote][i]Originally posted by Doug Almighty[/i] If Bryan isn�t champ before November, I am going to kill myself! And Vince McMahon. [/quote] He said he's cashing in his briefcase at Wrestlemania. You've got a ways to go, buddy. [quote][i]Originally posted by gimmickless[/i] They did everything in their power to keep HHH looking like the only sane man on the floor, and that annoys me more than anything. This was not a triple; this was a bunt.[/quote] Really? I thought HHH looked about as vulnerable as he has in his near two-decade career, just standing there sheepishly while everyone walked out on him. Mike Chioda cut a strong promo (better than Orton, as Pyro said) on HHH and made very cogent points. HHH was trying to be reasonable and sane, but since when has that worked ever in WWE? I agree it wasn't a triple, and it might've even been a bunt, but it was a bunt single... it kept the rally going. [quote][i]Originally posted by DevilSoprano[/i] Am I supposed to still be in wait & see mode? [/quote] Yes, 'cause it's about what you didn't see. CM Punk's silence/absence during the segment spoke volumes. Remember, this is the dufus son-in-law. I've been thinking for weeks now that everything, I mean [i]everything, [/i] that's gone on since Punk came back to unify the titles was about getting the McMahons out of power. I think he's suckering Ace along and will fire him as soon as he gets control (or gets who he wants to be in control). I think he may even be using Stephanie to a certain extent. I'm telling you, it's all very "24"-ish and, as a fan of that show from its first episode 'til it's last, you have to understand that in a drama like this there's always another machination, there's always something else going on, there's always something you're not anticipating, something you'll only see if you're REALLY paying attention to every detail. Which is hard to do if you're only following the show on message boards, but I digress. Think about this, why do you think Beth was in this scene and sounding all weak and scared? Think it was because they just wanted one of the girls to speak? One of the Bellas could've done it just as easily. This angle has challenged wrestling fans to think outside the box when it comes to fantasy booking and what might happen next. I mean, come on, who saw a "No Confidence Vote Main Event Promo" segment coming this week? And who saw EVERYONE (who was present) walking out on HHH? Even JR, who HHH just hired back a couple months ago? And I'm not saying I'd be the one to do it, but if an enterprising OO staffer wanted to start a Facebook group called "Shut Up And Fight" and use it as a platform to support HHH and drive people to OO, maybe more people could offer opinions and thoughts other than "everything sucks" or "there was someone else on the show besides CM Punk" or other IWC pabulum. Heck, they might even see such brilliant posts as this: [quote][i]Originally posted by Stu[/i] "Complete Afterthoughts" don't main event 4 PPVs in a row, 3 of which are title matches, 2 of which they win. "Complete Afterthoughts" aren't continuously given exposure and as much mic time as Punk has, even since the angle has cooled off a bit. "Complete Afterthoughts" aren't booked to look as strong in defeat as Punk was, what with all the general punishment of a triple threat match, in a HIAC, plus going through a table, plus getting pinned (not made to tap out) due to a lead pipe beating. "Complete Afterthoughts" do not get the company shelling out for the rights to license theme music like Punk has, or as much merchandise for him as he has. Not being champion or being in another championship match (yet, since the PPV was only last fucking night) does not make you a "Complete Afterthought". WWE COULD be doing more with Punk, sure, and they WERE doing more with him not too long ago, but overall, by their standards, this is a push, and he's still in a much better place than he was six months ago. This is not me saying "wait and see", this is me saying all things considered, Punk should be pretty happy with where he is right now, because he's been in much worser spots. [/quote] Thank you for writing it, Stu, so I don't have to. Would've been much worser for me. ;^)
