DavidB6937 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I'd actually be quite interested in seeing that. Mostly for Dom. He's been one of the highlights this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 That’s disappointing. I was hoping that he had chosen the EV6 electric model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the lottery had the form that Philip does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivers big numbers and often the people who think they are winners end up losing it all. Sounds comparable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 His Uk and EU fans are the Euro Phillions. But don’t expect him to roll over any time soon, because he’s punk AF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stick to talking about the real Punk, who I met some years ago at International Showdown. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Limmy's Show deserves far most visibility than it has outside of Scotland. One of the best sketch shows the UK has ever produced in my opinion. Limmy's Homemade Show is also excellent.

Paid Members air_raid Posted December 13, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Funny thing is, that YES, it was an intentional reference, but word for word it's actually accurate. Punk was understandably a bit crabby (he'd hurt his elbow in the match) but soon he was laughing and joking with Joe, Foley and fans alike. He was pretty quick witted. I've often wondered if his time inside "the machine" turned him into the miser we all know he is today. @Snitsky's back acne Quote I was training with Stevie Knight at the time and he came in the next day talking about what a twat Punk was - and this was coming from a guy who was friends with Alex Shane. .... wow.

d-d-d-dAz Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Punk was backstage at NXT last night, offering counsel and advice to the young stars. What a mensch. Some people from within the wrestling media world are even suggesting Punk's long term play is to be the next HBK, which I think is about as likely as me being the next Megan Fox, but funny nonethless.

DavidB6937 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 It's not that surprising. He has always seemed to want to help and get involved. He just doesn't like it when people don't listen to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be that surprising that that's what he wants, it'd be utterly astounding if WWE decided to give him - with all his quirks - the sort of power HBK has over the future of the business. HBK might have been a difficult sod backstage, but he's famously always been a Vince fave and is Triple H's mate. I don't think Punky has such advantages.

Paid Members Supremo Posted December 13, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 Punk ending up running Developmental is not something I’d ever considered, but it‘s actually one of those perfect, everyone-gets-what-they-want, they-all-lived-happily-ever-after scenarios. He obviously wants to be seen as the revered legend, imparting invaluable wisdom, so there’s no better place for him than a warehouse full of rookies being paid to say, “yes sir,” expected to shake his hand before, during and after. We agree, Mr Brooks. Hangman Adam Page action figures don’t sell particularly well. Also, if you ignore all the bullshit drama, at his core Punk’s one of the best promos of all time, with an incredible mind for this business, with a one-of-a-kind ability to get himself over and make himself the main character. I’d be a thousand times more interested in a generation of workers created in Punk’s image. I’ve had my fill of HBK’s factory line of boring all-rounders, obsessed with the hard camera, doing bad amateur dramatics, talking to their hands and taking stupid ladder bumps six months into their career. They’d probably need to bring in an outside contractor for the, “don’t be a fucking nutter,” seminars though. Not sure Punk is best suited to teach those. Plus, if nothing else, it’d be really fucking funny if CM Punk ended up as a cog in the WWE system, Regal as his right hand-man, stooging about. They all eat shit eventually. Like Winston at the end of 1984. Everything was alright. The struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved B̶i̶g̶ ̶B̶r̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶The Game Triple H.
