    Heck, if we're reposting our own stuff because we like to read it...sorry, in case in no one heard it the first time:

     

    Punk beats Cena for the title. Punk gloats. Vince comes out to fire Cena and then announces that ADR, who won the MitB, is cashing it in and he'll do what Cena couldn't and bring the WWE title back to the fold. Cue the match. ADR and Punk are down. Cena hits the ring, pauses, FU's ADR and puts Punk on top and Punk retains. Cena declares that he's sick of being the company man, having to carry all that weight on his shoulders, says something like, "Hey Vince; FU." and walks out. Punk is left to gloat, having won the title and now in a position of power, with the announcers stunned at the prospect of the WWE title being in possession of a man who is leaving the company.

     

    If Punk does re-sign, they can run the storyline that Vince is being forced to negotiate with Punk to return with the title and he has to acquiesce to some of Punk's demands. Cue a long running battle of Vince trying to find a way to get the belt off of Punk, vowing to fire him once he loses the belt. Naturally, Punk finds a way to keep the belt for long enough that Vince reaches out to the one man he knows can find a way to bring the title back to WWE...

     

    Big Cena return, major pops, Cena beats Punk for the belt. Vince fires Punk, who can then take the lengthy break he wants before coming back in some fashion three or four months down the line.

     

     

     

    Punk wasn't going to be talking about anything. The mic getting cut off was the planned ending for the worked shoot promo; obvious, I know, but obvious things need stating around here. I believe, and this makes sense if you're doing a worked shoot angle, is that the mentioning of the anti-bullying campaign was the cue for the mic to be cut. You don't want the worked shoot to go on for too long but at the same time you need the guy to go on for long enough that he gets across the points he needs to, ie: make it clear why he's 'shooting'. So you tell him that when he's done getting across what needs to be got across, to mention something specific, in this case the anti-bullying, so the production people know it's time to cut his mic.

     

    Cena turning heel as he exits and returning a face makes little sense.

    I will again state my prediction, in case no one heard it the first time.

     

    I think Punk is going to win. Then the money in the bank guy is going to come out and challenge punk (whoever wins MITB).

     

    I predict that Punk will also win that match as well..

     

    And it's all just to drive you nuts.

     

    I would mark hard if he did. I just don't see them taking both guys off TV at the same time and I don't think they would do the Cena fired story so soon again. If you had asked me right after the Punk promo, I'd have said he was gonna win, I just don't think they will take Cena off TV unless he really is hurt.

    An interview with Orton.

     

    I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I heard he throws people under the bus, including the Rock.

     

    Listened to it, and damn Orton is a pretty funny guy. He doesn't really throw Rock under the bus, but mentions that he questioned him saying he would never leave, and Rocky went crying to Vince about it, allegedly. He put over a number of guys, said Cena is light years ahead of everybody on the mic, while not being the greatest in the ring.

    This is off topic but, the US needs somthing diffrent to calculate ratings the way were doing it now doesn't add up and could be off by a huge ammount WWE probley draw 4.0 if everyone who watched was counted TNA maybe 2.0 I just think it is a very bad way of calculating the TV ratings.

     

    If every number is rounded down does it really matter?

    I don't remember the Peyton college stuff either, but I doubt he would've stayed for another year for the sole reason of not playing for the Saints.

     

    Really? Archie flat out told SD that Eli wouldn't play for them if they drafted him. I could see him telling Peyton to stay the extra year.

    Well, IIRC, the idea was supposed to be that this would be the start of the whole brand split biz, with WCW taking Smackdown's Thursday night spot, and WWF remaining on Monday nights. So yeah, it should have ended with WWF winning, but at the same time not squashing WCW/ECW. That way they could be taken serious as a separate brand. But that didn't happen, I guess because Vince didn't like the idea of there being a non-WWF show, even though he gave ECW it's own show like 4 years later...

     

    I'll agree that the Invasion did have a lot of good moments though, for sure. Probably some of the best comedy segments ever done in WWE.

     

    I think it was he wanted to keep WCW on the air from March but he couldn't get a slot that worked and he abandoned the idea and went ahead with what he did.

    I have to say I agree with the first part...what else could Vince have done at that point but the invasion? As far as paying millions (...and millions) to bring in Steiner, Sting, Goldberg etc...why would Vince do that? Yeah a few of those guys were over but, at the risk of stating the obvious, the WWF won! They won the Monday Night Wars big and had no reason to spend a small fortune on a handful of overpaid talent.

     

    Where I disagree was, and maybe I'm in the minority here, but I thought overall the Invasion was really pretty good. :eek: And how else was it going to end? Of course the WWF was going to win at Survivor Series!

     

    I liked the Invasion too. But then again I was a 10 year old mark at the time, pretty much anything would have been gold for me I'd guess.

    What grinds your gears?

    Besides the Giants, when has there been a surprise team winning the Super Bowl in recent years?

     

    01 Pats, 05 Steelers, 07 Giants, 09 Saints(went from 8-8 to winning it all). Then you have the 7 win Seahawks knocking off the champs, the Cards making a run from being called the worst play off team ever to being 30 seconds away from winning it all. Dolphins going from 1 win to winning a division with the holders coming off a perfect regular season. NFL provides more shocks than any other sport.
