Ambulance Chaser Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 From ProWrestling.Net, a fan who stayed after the show:   After the show, Braun Strowman walked out and Rockâs music hit (he also appeared prior to the show). This time he headed down to the ring. Heâs in promo mode now. The crowd is really excited to see him. He told us what the âFighting With My Familyâ movie is all about. The camera crews were setting up and there were directors and assistants giving orders around him. He said they were going to recreate Paigeâs WWE debut and title win against AJ Lee. This started a âCM Punkâ chant and it got loud. Rock was like, you know what, Iâm going to call Punk right now! The place went nuts. He dialed, and got it on speaker. It went to voicemail Rock left a message. âHey, Iâm here in LA at Staples with about 15,000 people and they want to say hiâ or something like that. A MASSIVE CM Punk chant started. This was really fun. So the cameras were ready and Rock basically took the role of directing the crowd to make reactions. Big cheer, small cheer, boos, etc. One thing to note is that when the Rock was asking us to boo, several times he mentioned to boo like youâre âbooing Roman Reignsâ. He took digs at his cousin! Then Rock looked at his phone and says, oh, Punk called me back! He tried to get him on Facetime but it didnât go through. Just a couple minutes later, I noticed a WWE referee run up to the apron. He gave the âkill signâ across the neck. Rock smiled but then didnât mention Punk again. Hmm⌠   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted February 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2017 As dumb as chanting for Punk in 2017 is, I like that Rock doesn't give a fuck about, "heat," or whatever and had no problem reacting like a human being to the chants. You can imagine everyone backstage losing their minds during that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted February 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2017 Punks lawyer will love that. Could easily be twisted to harassment call from a WWE talent  https://twitter.com/CMPunk/status/833905165145145344  That's a fairly positive response, in fairness, so I can't imagine he'll be making a big deal out of the situation. Also, despite being seemingly done with the wrestling industry he clearly has a fairly large ego so I'm sure he enjoys a whole arena chanting his name regardless of the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 aye he's been cool. I'm talking his lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I don't see how it's harassment though and going off Punk's reaction on Twitter he probably wouldn't go along with it. Rock just genuinely doesn't give a fuck and it's a great way of getting the crowd on side so they don't try and shit allover filming the scene with numpty chants.

zep81 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thought Owens' promo was good and Brawn/Show was a very good big man battle IMO. That kip up was grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2017 I can't remember a more missable sure during WM season since ... last year.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 21, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2017 I can't remember a more missable sure during WM season since ... last year. Â Seriously, watched it this morning, can't remember a thing about it. Aw c'mon, I know he's not cool at the moment but Owens promo in the dark deserves recognition. And Brock making Cole fill his pants? ...and then for some reason looking down the camera as if he's Fleabag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Come on, even last year was better than the build up to WM31. Do I need to bring out that picture of Roman and Brock doing the tug-o'-war with the belt again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Read through that fan report with a big grin. Sounded great and far more fun than anything else he's done in WWE in a long time. Strange that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was another dull promo though. Same old shit.  Good show last week, this one was bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Seen a fair bit of positivity for this show, but like Rick I couldn't get myself going, I really enjoyed the main event though, 2 big bastards smacking the shite out of each other is good by me. I honestly though we were getting a ring break spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just read a couple of reviews and was surprised to see no follow up to the Emmalina thing from last week. Â I wasn't sure if the rumours of it all being scrapped because she couldn't pull off what they had in mind for the role were accurate and was hoping this week would shed some light on it. No appearance and not even a mention of here this week is making me think the rumours might have been true after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
