NintendoLogic Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Probably best to downplay that aspect of him after Moxley had to go to rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched YouTube video's of the epic storyline with The Elite, and it never seemed they were doing the functioning alcoholic/showing up in no condition to perform angle with him. It seemed more trying to conform to their lifestyle than “give up booze, be a better person/performer” angle that I can see being put on a main event level babyface.

Oh, I didn’t mean have him do Sandman/Austin style beer bashes every time on TV, my question was more about the whole “is he an alcoholic” part of the angle where teaming with Dark Order allowed him to be himself, not “fit in” with what the Bucks and Omega wanted him to be. More Cowboy Shit, less Elite Shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Massive dickhead CM Punk is still the best CM Punk, because it is him being 100% Phil Brooks. Dude is just a massive, massive asshole. On the other hand it's a shame no one will ever try to be as much of a dickhead as he is and mention Colt Cabana just to get to him.

C.S. Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Punk seems like an "massive dickhead" - until you see this follow-up tweet. So, yeah, the fan is the massive dickhead here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Both can be true. And that's not even getting into what the dude actually said, if his point holds any water or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I felt like a lot of the live crowd had no idea what the song or gear were about and were confused for most of Punk's entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Punk is just putting a WON indie-hater in his place. No biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 He also presumably has access to Google? I will admit that for me the song didn't 100% register immediately, but a quick check of Cagematch shows "oh, yeah, that's his ROH theme song" and you could then easily connect the dots to the rest of how he has was dressed. (If this guy has literally never seen a pre-WWE Punk match and writes for the Observer, he probably shouldn't.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 This is such a stupid tempest in teapot. For those of us who understood the gesture, it was neat. For everyone else, he'll come out to "Cult of Personality" again on Wednesday. There, settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 It still is a harmless question to ask IMO. Punk left ROH in 2005 and judging by what the guy said, he did watch pre-WWE matches, but never paid attention to entrance themes or anything. I don't think it's reasonable to give a catty response or say he lacks a brain over something like that. If Sting came out to Turbo Charged or even The Man Called Sting, people would be just as puzzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 The year is 1991. Sgt. Slaughter enters the LA Coliseum to “Real American.” Hogan enters with white trunks, an atomic bomb shaved in his chest hair and Freddie Blassie by his side. I’m visibly confused. “You don’t understand wrestling,” 100,000 fans scream to me in unison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the sentiments that Punk and his Twitter Twat followers are being a bit much, but to be fair, you’d have to be super niche of a wrestling historian, or been watching WWWF/WWF since literally 1980 to have gotten the idea that Hogan did anything even pre-AWA, never mind beating Iron Sheik for the title back in January of 1984!

SteveJRogers Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 BTW, I’m now envisioning an alternate 1987 where as part of the build Hogan threatens to show video evidence that Andre could be slammed and conquered (Hogan slamming Andre during their Shea match), with Bobby trying desperately to stop the footage from being shown, yet telling everyone that Hogan never did pin Andre though!
