b0shey Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 As we noted, the decision was made to have Punk lose the World title in the opening match at the Hell In A Cell PPV due to him having heat with management due to an incident on the recent European tour. According to sources, there was apparently an issue on Punk's dress code during the tour. The story goes that at one point Undertaker pulled him aside and explained that he's the World champion and representing the WWE brand and name overseas, so he should dress better. Punk reportedly said something along the lines of "what about John Cena?" which wasn't taken very well. The incident got back to WWE management and they decided that they weren't thrilled with Punk's actions and response and the decision was made. While it was already likely Punk was dropping the title at the PPV, it was decided that he would lose what would ultimately be a quiet squash match in the very first match on the show. Punk should learn that you dont badmouth John 'Superman' Cena that will lead to your downfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 <p>I think that this was an utter mistake from the WWE among the other utter mistakes they have been doing this year. Making CM Punk's titlereign end like this just screwes over the previous titlereigns and his time as the champion. On top of that the HIAC PPV had a completely wrong match order in my point of view and I guess they wanted the match to be the opener to give CM Punk even more of a punishment.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Idiots.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yeah my friends went to the event last night and one of them said the exact same thing to me Fin. He said the event was a disappointment due to the lackluster matches and the order of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alden Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I hate to agree with the big e on this one BUT......punk was the face of the company. You can't walk around while your "on the job" in his normal street cloth. Yes, while you are on tour you are on the job. If you are just at home that is a diffrent subject but if you are ever representing your company you have to live up to the dress code. From what i understand it is not a bad one either......dress pants and casual dress shirt......it is not like you have to wear a suit or anything.

No. The next edition of Raw sometimes sees a small spike in ratings, but it usually doesn't last. PPV numbers? No. Numbers are down across the board. I'm afraid that the only reason that WWE could give for the number of title wins is that they are bored. There are too many PPVs, there aren't enough top wrestlers and they need to book rematches.

Hive Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 <p>It's still a dumb move by the WWE to **** up not only their PPV but also all the momentum gained by their latest big hit from the last few PPVs. They could have punished him in so many other fashions.</p><p> </p><p> Speaking of CM Punk and Cena, I think a feud between those two would work so much better than CM Punk vs. Undertaker. Guys like The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels shouldn't be used in the main event picture anymore, but rather in feuds with up and coming upper midcarders aiming to get to the main event scene - in order to elevate those. Their schedules are too light and bodies to worn to be in the main event spotlight prolonged, anyway.</p><p> </p><p> The Undertaker vs. Jack Swagger and Shawn Michaels vs. John Morrison, for instance.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't fine him (unless the fine is downright punitive, at which point they'd run to the EEOC). He's champion, you can't sit him on the sidelines (bench him, basically) to cool his heels and "think about what he's done". How exactly do you punish a young worker and get him to look at how other people in his position conduct themselves when they're the face of the company? You take it away from him and let him marinate and ruminate over it, that's how.</p><p> </p><p> He referred to Cena but obviously wasn't paying much attention. Cena does more personal appearances for WWE in a month than most of the rest of those knuckleheads do in a year. Cena's gimmick allows him to dress down because it's part of his character (and much of the swag he wears is merch that draws MORE money to the company). Cena has main evented over a dozen pay per views in his career and by all accounts is the ultimate WWE company man. In other words, Cena is just about untouchable.</p><p> </p><p> Punk made a mistake, he's paying for that mistake. WWE isn't at fault here, it's Punk's bad.

lazorbeak Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 This story sounds bogus.

He's facing The Undertaker in the match that was made for him, Hell In The Cell, and just cheated his way to a win in the match previously.

Their Main Event at HIAC was DX vs Legacy. Heck, the US title match was after both of the world championship matches! They don't have enough main eventers for two brands (not nearly enough for three, but ECW is treated like a joke). They really should just end the brand split! I am sick and tired of it <img alt=":mad:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "dress code" in WWE and workers are not told to dress a certain way.</p><p> </p><p> CM Punk has his fair share of detractors backstage which could have gotten the rumors started. WWE management is still high up on CM Punk.</p><p> </p><p> From what I've been told, there have been plans to get the World Heavyweight Championship back on Undertaker since his return, and the decision was finalized on Sunday.

(Okay bad pun) But really, it seems that his character on screen is pretty similar off screen, which makes me upset, because he is one of my favorite wrestlers! <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have more then enough. It's how they book/get them all on that is kind of screwy right now. Nothing really runs away... there is only a brief amount of build-up, just spread out... Meaning, they could probably pull in the same amount of buildup with half the shows, but spread it out... You can have an angle from both sides, and a match every show, but they don't.. You will see that in three shows, lol.</p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="UkWrestleFan" data-cite="UkWrestleFan" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="24739" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Yep, and I disagree with his comments about ECW being treat like a joke. <p> </p><p> Wrestling Century, do you meant it's treat like a joke when compated to the original ECW?
