That little exchange immediately made me think of Ballroom Blitz

Really? Best 100? Rey is easily in the highest of highest echelon of pro wrestlers to ever wrestle. Rey can flip and fly but that is hardly the only thing he does well. In fact, I want to edit the sub title to this thread because it offends my internal wrestling fan meter. Fucking flippy flop guy.

I got my autographed copy yesterday of the Hansen book. Reading about his time at West Texas now.

Oh and yeah... start a Rey Mysterio thread or something. This thread is for CM Punk SHOOTZ Promos.

What a stupid thing to say.

Start quoting memorable shit, assholes! There... that is some cyber bullying.

Oh and I did that by memory. When was the last time you could follow a logical progression in a WWE storyline week by week and have something memorable happen every week where you could recite two months worth of storylines? And as Loss, Dylan, Naylor, Phil, Eric, and Chlds can testify... I have a shitty memory.

In the last couple of weeks I haven't written much about anything because of personal and computer issues even though I have been around. With that said, my computer is up and running and I have tuned into RAW every week since the Punk angle started and still keep tuning in. I want to go week by week and see where the angle went and see some pros and cons... Greatest Promo Ever - Holy Shit moment, not just because of the "shooty" nature but how effective it was in gaining mainstream exposure AND putting over the main event of the upcoming PPV. Whether it succeeded or not is up to debate but universally praised. Punk is Suspended - This was hurt by the fact they had to tape two shows in one night. I groaned at the Cena Will Be Fired shit at the time but was intrigued by Cena's promo insisting he face Punk. Still had reason to tune in the next week because the RAW bookends felt so different than what they had been pumping out the last few years. Punk + Vince - The chemistry between these two was sick. In a perfect world, all roads lead to Punk vs. McMahon because this was some Grade A PPV selling stuff. The Yankees comment, the altercation at the end... all left no doubt I was ordering this PPV. MITB - MOTY with a holy shit finish that made the fallout from RAW a must see. Watching this was a surreal experience and the entire PPV delivered. Well worth every dollar spent. Night after PPV - Vince announcing a tournament and acting like Punk never existed is exactly how you would expect to Vince to act... business as usual. I like the idea Loss put forward with the WWF in disarray and everyone going batshit more than what happened but from a logical standpoint, Vince did what he was supposed to. The HHH-Vince stuff I wasn't crazy about at all but the power switch was interesting enough for me to watch again the following week to see who would be crowned paper champion. Paper Champion Finals + Punk's Return - Rey's title win felt like a nice feel good moment and it was ruined by that opportunistic corporate whore, Cena. With that siad, Rey delivers two awesome matches and at least the show delivered on that note. Then Punk returns. WTF? Why did he return? Gotta tune in next week. Plus Cult of Personlaity... Fuck Yeah! With that said, I agree 100% that he returned too early. I would have loved for him to stay viral longer. I wanted to know how he would logically explain the change of heart. Punk's Explanation + Dueling Theme Music. - I thought Punk's reasoning was sound and the interaction with HHH was not too shooty but stuff that could clearly be derived from keeping up with the WWE product during HHH's run. Logical reason for a return but not what I wanted to happen. Hated the stuff with Johnny Ace, HHH, Cena and Punk at the end of the show with the dueling theme music. I could see why people would bail on the angle at this point but there was still a go home show before the PPV so I tuned in to see how they brought it home. Main Event Contract Signing - I had no problem with this segment at all. Loved the back and forth between Cena and Punk. Cena may be corny but at least I am starting to believe what he has to say. The intrigue over how HHH would fuck with the finish was enough for me to check out the PPV. Mission accomplished. At this point, I am not fantasy booking the same way i was when dreaming about Punk defending the title in a shoot match against Davey Richards in ROH as best friend Colt Cabana watches his back in the locker room but still invested in the storyline. Summerslam - Another MOTYC. The HHH finish protects Cena, protects Punk, transitions to Del Rio without burying Punk, introduces HHH's buddy as the guy who cost Punk the title, still allows HHH to play face COO and made damn sure I was going to tune into RAW to see how it all played out. MMission accomplished. Tonight So Far... Del Rio is over and looks giddy as fuck to be champion. PLenty of answers needed from the fallout fo the PPV. Hooked me again.

we got that in the works as well.

The promo is still great. Punk is still hot and hasn't eaten a pedigree. The logical progression is Greatest Promo Ever to MOTY to rematch MOTYC to What Happens Next. No problem with that.

You're not. Still waiting for them to bury Punk and he isn't being buried. They wanted Del Rio as champ and they got that in a fun way that didn't kill Punk off. Del Rio not only cashes in but gets his receipt from being manhandled on RAW and the idea of Nash as the new Brodus Clay intrigues me. Once again, I am tuning in to RAW tomorrow night to see where this goes. Plus, Punk vs. Del Rio sounds 1000 times better to me than Punk vs. HHH. Still better than the Nexus angle in every way. At this point, Nexus was done.

I am still at the point where I am tuning in to see what happens next week because I am still very interested where the Punk character is going. That is not a goalpost that has changed. there have been major letdowns but the intrigue is still there for me. That could all change tomorrow. By this time in the Nexus angle, I was done.

Bullshit! Him leaving leaves a void that may never be filled. At one point, I despised him but at some point he became the one poster I actively looked forward to reading. If some assholes didn't derail the One and Only RE thread, i can only imagine what gems would have been unlocked.

What do they call him, and why?Punk and variations thereof. I don't know know if there's any origin to it pre-wrestling other than the obvious. I was under the impression that's why Vince had the "I can call you Phil, right?" line in the negotiation segment: Not OMGZ SHOOT NAMES HAVE BEEN UTTERED as much as "nobody calls him that." For the record, he has introduced himself as Phil to people.

We will get to those. Just gotta get outta the funk.

That was Sid. Rob and I are n a funk right now. Waiting for Lars to get off tour and Punk to be available again... in other words, for lightning to strike twice.

Stop trying to derail my thread. Post an RE quote.

I created a special RE member grouping just for him. If he wants us to ban him, we ban him. I am sincerely saddened by this. Post your favorite RE memories here. Copy and paste specific posts, no paraphrasing here.

PM I recieved from RE. A sad day indeed...

I was telling Dylan last night that this hinges on Punk's next interaction with Cena but they sort of cut the balls off with the main focus as HHH the Decider... deciding an outcome to the title "controversy" that isn't that controversial. We can only hope that next week the focus goes back to Punk-Cena and Punk calls Cena out on being an opportunistic douche and includes Rey Mysterio somehow.

There are 2 matches back to back on 4/17 and 4/18 (or is it 4/18 and 4/19) so you may have seen the other match.

Tragedy

I am just as confused after your answers as I was before.

Why did he take the site down?
