Infinity Land Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 MLW runs Chicago quite a bit. Sorted. Still time for Raven v. CM Punk 20th Anniversary edition. Quote

It's Mike Bennett Kannellis and, more importantly, Maria. Maybe have him feud with Logan Paul? Perhaps he is in talks with TKO about a UFC commentary job? Quote
TheScarlettChad Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 So are WWE just trolling then? What is the point of Naka doing the GTS etc? Quote
Merzbow Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I'd love it if it was just Shinsuke taking the piss. Quote
Factotum Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Bringing Punk in right away always seemed a bit odd. WWE doesn't really need that shit at the moment. Maybe in a year or so if the dust settles and the Reigns stuff has run its course then maybe, but I'm sure given their past problems with him AND now AEW's issues with him, everyone is just like fuck that.

To be fair, I can't recall of a single instance of WWE using an old wrestler's finisher as a means of teasing their return, but I know of several instances of fans thinking that's what they were doing and it amounting to nothing. At most it's easy engagement and getting people talking, without ever actually promising anything, or just a heel wrestler goading an audience. Quote

This is a phenomenal suggestion. I don't know why, but I'd not even considered it as an option. This would be a tremendous addition to a Wrestlemania card. Quote

Yep. The conclusions I jumped to when I saw this at the Rumble in 2001. I was convinced the ‘Bad Guy’ would be back in the fold by WrestleMania X7. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 11, 2023 If WWE *really* wanted to troll Punk they should re-sign him and debut him the night after Wrestlemania. Quote
TheScarlettChad Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 And he can main event....The night AFTER Mania. Muahahahaha. Quote
DavidB6937 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 "The contract says guaranteed main event.." Quote

Meltzer’s secret sauces have told him Punk reached out and Vince and big Nick told him to fuck off. Are we still putting any stock into what Meltzer says? Besides, if they want to add any kind of element of surprise to his big return, why would they want the media all but confirming it? The best way to throw the neckbeards off the scent is to put the word out to Big Dave that it's all been flushed. They'd be mental not to bring him in. Quote

He's clearly still a huge deal in the world of pro wrestling. And the hassle that everyone is speaking about could easily be restricted to his time at AEW. I mean, he's always had a rep as a bit of a moaning-faced twat, but it's not as though he has a history of brawling with talent and causing chaos. That was all pretty much limited to AEW, and I'd think WWE know this. If anything, the biggest risk would be bringing him in, putting him in a decent program and then injury striking him down. But that is a risk to anyone I guess. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted October 12, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 12, 2023 Idea : Punk vs Rollins is the match they want. Problem : Bringing in Punk at Survivor Series and immediately position Seth as his enemy in Chicago gets Seth a heel reaction on the night which they don’t want. Solution : Have Nakamura be Punks first opponent back and Rollins can wait. That’s my reasoning behind Shinsuke using Go To Sleep. Unless it was just bants. Quote
