He said he would’ve been fine if it was an elimination match and he went out in a couple of minutes if it meant being in the main event. Instead he got that great match with The Undertaker. I’m sure he understood why that first match between Rock and Cena was the main event and wouldn’t have been too upset by it (maybe). The bigger issue is probably that he was told in advance that it was going to be Rock vs Cena vs Punk for the main event, as their initial plan to work around that Rock vs Cena was supposed to be "once in a lifetime." Then he had it yanked out from under him. And I've no doubt he was told that was the plan, because The Rock has said in interviews that HE was told that was the plan, then it got changed. Moving goalposts being a common theme of people getting sick of the place, especially regarding Vince's personal promises, especially regarding Mania spots.

Paid Members Supremo Posted December 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2023 Nash rocking the boat. Brilliant. Maybe we’ll see other wrestlers with nothing to lose going on the wind up. “Shawn said he’s an embarrassment to Bret!” “Regal said he’s a scruffy git!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 At some point, you have to just go ‘yeah, fair enough Phil, give them a whack.’ People don’t shut the fuck up about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Probably nobody else finds this funny other than me, but Punk bouncing on the ropes in slow motion, glaring at Page and thinking to himself, "What the fuck's this tit going to say this week?" still makes me laugh. Also, "I respect you, Hangman". One for all us WCW nerds out here. Edited December 11, 2023 by Devon Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Honestly though, what a fucking great promo by Page. Like all the best promos, he meant every word. I bet he loathes that prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JLM Posted December 12, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) It was the best of promos, it was the worst of promos. It was the age of cowboy shit, it was the age of CM Punk chat. It was the epoch of buckshot lariats, it was the epoch of Pepsi plunges. It was the season of Khan, it was the season of Leveque. It was the Spring of All in, it was the winter of Brawl Out. We had pro wrestling before us, we had backstage dramas before us, we were all going direct to Wembley Stadium, we were all going direct to the Survivor Series. In short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, by Meltzer giving it 6 stars or Cornette declaring it outlaw mud show garbage.

Actually I will agree, three way would of made way more sense in my mind. CM Punk as the guy who was "ruining the plans" of management was a great gimmick.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 12, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 I always thought his tantrum about not headlining Wrestlemania made him look like a bit of a mark. He probably will headline it now but now that Wrestlemania is two nights I don't think headlining it really means that much anymore - if it ever really did mean that much. There's been plenty of shit Wrestlemania headliners over the years and no one really remembers or cares about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people in this thread long ago stopped talking about Punk, and have started discussing some imaginary caricature version of the guy that they've dreamed up in their heads.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted December 12, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 To be fair, I'm a fan of Punk and I'm expecting it. As a fan of funny backstage drama I'm looking forward to it. The older I'm getting the more I see him as a miserable old bastard who just hates other people. Basically he's me, so crack on Pip.
