Guest Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 They wouldn't have done the angle if Punk hadn't signed a new agreement weeks back. That said, they always have at least two copies of each belt: one for TV and one for the road, so they may just give the interim champion another spinner.

JackFetch Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm hoping it means the end of the spinner belt. I'd love to see a redesign. When Punk comes back they can have a feud to see who's the real champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Observer gave the Punk/Cena match *****. Last time a WWE match earned that was in 1997. The crowd deserves a lot of the credit for that. The match itself was sloppy, but the crowd just made that match as great as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 From IGN. Comic-Con: CM Punk Crashes WWE Panel, Confronts Triple H! This afternoon, with yours truly present, CM Punk crashed the the joint Mattel/WWE panel – WWE: Past, Present and Future – at San Diego Comic-Con, featuring WWE superstars Triple H, Rey Mysterio and the legendary Bret Hart. Punk announced himself via bullhorn and then, with WWE Title in hand, took to the designated question-asking mic and began to awesomely speechify! Punk took exception to the fact that they were trying to crown a new champ on RAW and then challenged Rey, or anyone else who wanted to be champ, to head out to Chicago to take him on. Punk then also asked Triple H and RAW writer Brain Gewirtz why Zack Ryder wasn't on TV. Triple H, in what seemed to be a part of a storyline, told Punk that things had changed on RAW and that there was a new regime. He told Punk to give him a call. Punk responded by telling Hunter that he was sure Stephanie had his number More on the story, plus video from the event as it develops… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 If it weren't for the Zach Ryder line, I would have thought this was scripted. I still kinda think Punk did re-up his contract and this is all a storyline but ehh, time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 It was scripted and it is all storyline. I mean, it's a fucking brilliant storyline, but it's completely planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I love the lengths they’re going to make it seem legitimate, but there’s never been any doubt in my mind that it’s a storyline. I’m just excited to see where they go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 The security guy at the door letting him in is kind of a giveaway that it's a work. I doubt any of us could have just walked in without saying a word while holding a bullhorn. Still, it was pretty awesome and I can't wait to see where this goes.

Guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Him winning and leaving the company with the title was the giveaway, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 The bigger question is when Punk is going to reappear: next Raw just after Del Rio turns in his briefcase and wins or loses the belt or will they wait until Summerslam?

SuaveStar Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 The bigger question is when Punk is going to reappear: next Raw just after Del Rio turns in his briefcase and wins or loses the belt or will they wait until Summerslam? I hope they hold out for a bit, just so's they can build to a proper "Champion VS Champion" match at some big PPV down the line. Like Survivor Series.

Professor Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Based on the Smackdown recap I just read, Daniel Bryan has announced a date he will cash in the MITB contract: WrestleMania 28. As with all things WWE, I await them to fuck this angle up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Punk "invaded" an AAW show. No WWE title, no promo against WWE, just putting over the local guy. Video But still, of all the places you could think of him popping up, AAW was not on the list. I had never heard of AAW until I saw this on Punk's twitter.

Missy Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 AAW is a fed that runs in the neighborhood in which I grew up. Me, I have my own feelings about the company, but a lot of talented guys work there. So there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Outside of Cena winning, yeah, pretty good. Even the Divas match didn't annoy me since it was over pretty fast. Plus, Zach Ryder got to beat up Michael Cole so WOOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yip, aren't tournaments shocking and fun? I hope Rey Mysterio gets a rematch clause after Punk/Cena are done, as it would be nice to see him feud with either Cena or Punk for the title.

SuaveStar Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 "Even though our response levels were much higher for the Destination X PPV than most TNA PPVs, based on early reports, and keep in mind for TNA, nobody keeps close track because the numbers are so small, they indicate a slight decrease for Destination X compared with Slammiversary the month before. A rough estimate would be 8,500 and 8,000 respectively. But it wasn't as if there was any increase from usual, and the only thing you can say is it didn't drop even though none of the big money guys except RVD worked the show. But the idea of an X Division show as a concept that draws, well, that wasn't the case".
