Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
Yeah, it just feels like Bray is a crazy guy now. Before, he seemed like a crazy guy with a mission. A cryptic, wordy mission. But he's never really elaborated on that. He doesn't really have any goals. Why would he want a title? What would it do for him? Why even bother wrestling?
It's a shame. It feels like he's so fucking wasted by lackluster writing. The character is so different, and so intriguing... but you can't rely on "different and intriguing" week after week. Do something with the guy.

So how do you think they'll book Rollins vs Sting?
Sting can't go 0-2, but he also can't win. Sheamus seems like the only way to make this work, Seth could take the pin, it could help setup Seth vs Sheamus (babyface Rollins) as well as Seth vs HHH down the road.

Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
Will lose/retain to cena but whatever the outcome the match will be super grueling and will be the reason he loses to sting
Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
I really don't think Sting is getting a world title run in 2015. Stranger things have happened, but it just doesn't seem like something they'd do. Has a WCW guy EVER held that belt? I'm drawing a bank. Goldberg only had the big gold, right?

Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
Loses to Cena, retains against Sting.
The real question is when are they doing HHH vs. Rollins? Doesn't seem like that'll be a Mania thing. Survivor Series? Before?

Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
Lately, I have been lately educating myself on everything I've missed or glazed over, mostly post-attitude era WWE debut matches. some from the mid 90's.
Rocky Maivia/The Rock
Seth Rollins
Jean Paul Levesque/Triple H (WCW stuff too)
Stardust
Isaac Yankem/Kane (more so the former than the latter)
Chris Jericho
The Miz
Randy Orton
CM Punk
Lex Luger (Narcissist)
Tyson Kidd
David Hart Smith
Rick Rude (and that time he was on Raw and Nitro at the same time)
Steve Austin (evolution from Ringmaster to Austin 3:16)
The Million Dollar Man (and Hulk Hogan's very first match with him in the WWWF)
Kurt Angle
The Undertaker (including when he came back in 2000 as a biker.)
Kwang
Carlito
Edge
Christian
Test
The Radicalz
Rey Mysterio
Sin Cara
Waylon Mercy (wow)
Sycho Sid
Daniel Bryan (and where the YES! chants came from)
Kofi Kingston
Sheamus
Bray Wyatt
Bo Dallas
Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw/JBL (amazing how long it took for him to get to that point)
Zack Ryder
I think I stopped watching regularly around the time or before the acquisition of WCW.

I do like Stardust having The Ascension as his henchmen. I have no idea why his feud with Neville is continuing though.
Sting destroying the statue and riding away on a garbage truck was cool. New Day are the best parts of Raw. I'm also intrigued by Owens-Ryback.

Riding away on the garbage truck was very Joker Sting-ish. I honestly think Sting could get over a lot easier in today's WWE with the Joker Sting gimmick.battlecatmeowstab212 wrote:I do like Stardust having The Ascension as his henchmen.

Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
Also, I posted this idea on the other board I visit for what to do with Randy Orton:
Orton's been the most entertaining as sort of a loose cannon guy who goes from calm and articulate-to-crazy at the drop of a dime. While he's still getting reactions now, I think straying from this formula whether heel (2008/9 when he was probably his most over) or face (2011 when he was probably his second most over) is an easily rectifiable mistake.
If Orton's feeling burned out, work that into his character. Make his RKO's from Nowhere stem from him saying he's a third generation guy who has been doing this for 15 years now and has other things he could be doing.
Then add a layer to his character by making him being to consider what could exist for him outside of WWE, or what it could lead him to. We tease this for 4-6 weeks and ultimately settle on...
Randy Orton: Presidential Candidiate
Make him this generation's Bob Backlund, only instead of always looking unhinged and about to snap, give us the soft-spoken Orton who unpredictably (but logically) crescendos into lunacy with an RKO, preferably one that hath emerged as if it was from out of nowhere.
Pair him with someone else who is entertaining but not really involved in anything at the moment like a non-Revolution diva (maybe heel Lana again) or Bo Dallas to be his campaign manager, and El Torito (who legit still has a lot to offer the company) as his running mate.
Have him claim he's running as an "Ortoncrat," and make him appear on all nameplate graphics as "Randy Orton (O)"

Anyone want to join our fantasy fed?
It started in the early 90s and was at one time ECW's official e-fed. Just some good fun where you create and roleplay a wrestler. This isn't like most others, though, because there's no need to spend time writing a lot of shit. It's chat room/dice based for a few hours on Tuesdays and Sundays.

Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
I hated Tony Schivonie. Why, I don't really know...maybe his southern twang. But I didn't like him. Especially when he would go head to head w/ Jim Ross on WWF pre-bells palsy, like 97-98. I know that sounds bad but that's the JR I liked best as a kid. The "I would say that but my Mama's watching..." JR >>>> the "Damnit...DAMNIT!!!!" JR. Regardless of how his face looked. And the fuckin...watered down WCW version of Bobby Heenan. As a longtime fan of the "broadcast journalist" I absolutely HATED that shit. I heard that Eric Bischoff or whoever the powers that be or were told Bobby not to be a heel but to be "wrestling's John Madden"...which I couldn't stand. "Goldberg...da man!!!!!!" but Mike Tenay was actually pretty dope the whole time, and yea ppl front on his later heel run. Does he work in wrestling today still?
Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
He was still working in TNA last time I watched, although that was like 6 months ago.

The NWO angle could have been even more impactful with Heenan going full heel, siding with them, and constantly spitting NWO propaganda while announcing. Instead they chose to go with the "I've always hated and never trusted hogan" angle and turned him face, which really didn't work. He was still funny here and there, but nowhere near as funny as he was as a heel. It's been widely reported that Heenan really hated the overall working environment at WCW, started to drink on the job, and basically stopped giving a fuck.
Re: CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...
^ Yep. On point.
Also, you could tell he still had it in him at whatever WM had the Gimmick Battle Royal w/ him and Mean Gene. Dude had me in tears, years later. I saw a recent picture and it's sad how sick he's become. Long Live Bobby.
