ThriceP86 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yea the IWC is loving it but the problem is thats only maybe 5-10% of WWE's viewers and TBH dont really matter as much as they think they do. Its an ok angle but with fans like me who only watch WWE/TNA Punk talking about that Colt guy and other stuff from backstage its just like "What in the hell is he talking about." In your eyes, I understand but you also got to look at how passionate Punk is when he uses the mic because of this storyline. And it's because he's so passionate and convicted that people get drawn into the storyline. It's got people doing the "Colt Cabana" chants even if they don't know him! So it's not necessarily the difference between fan A and fan B. Not even the differences between what each type of fan wants. It's the blending of the lines/blurring of reality that makes this type of storyline intriguing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, that's a really low number for modern day WWE fans. Based off the chants, and the heel reactions to Cena, I would say the number is much higher. People chanting "we want wrestling" isn't really a mark chant since the only reason people would chant that is because they know about the internet postings that talk about WWE trying to remove wrestling from their company. I mean, if the crowd had been totally dead and going ape **** for Cena then I would understand the "problem." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOnu Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Anything but Cena beating Punk cleanly will be a surprise for me. I've set my expectations pretty low on this one, sorry. It could be one the great stories of the last few years in wrestling, there's so many possibilities, so many things could branch off the main story, but the current creative team in WWE hasn't had a lot of homeruns, not even doubles for that matter, in their recent record. If it was just a regular TV match, I'd say get everyone and their mother involved in the match (faces wanting to protect the WWE and its title, heels minding their own agenda, etc.). You know, organized chaos and mayhem. It's a been a while since we had a tv show ending in that fashion and I like them. For a PPV though, I don't like the formula, I prefer my PPVs to have a definite ending so the buyers leave the event with the feeling that they paid for something important.

ShaunGBD Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The Rock talking about Cena http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e2VK6U6YVDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Given The Rock and Cena's recent rants against each other and The Rock saying that he'll be seeing Cena much sooner than Wrestlemania... maybe The Rock will cost Cena the title against Punk, with Alberto Del Rio cashing in his MiTB on Punk afterwards - which would also set up a fresh Del Rio vs. Cena feud, which has been rumored that WWE has been planning...?

Tha Black Phenom Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Rock let out a hint as to when he'll show up next, which is where "it all started" for him. From that hint, some are saying Chicago while others are saying Madison Square. The latter would mean Survivor Series, the former would mean this Sunday... hmm.

For some odd reason, I'm more intrigued by a Punk/ Del Rio feud. The Straight Edge Self-Righteous vs. the the Opulent Self-Absorbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slagaholic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Cabana is gonna be at MITB. Let the speculation begin whether or not he'll have a hand in the finish. Not only that but he's been clearing off his calender. According to Gerweck.net he has told promotions he is a regular with to stop booking him. They also report that the Kings of Wrestling are without a doubt WWE bound. Jim Cornette shows up and all the sudden WWE starts sniping ROH talent left and right. Speculate! Speculate! Speculate!

ShaunGBD Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 King Of Wrestling, OMG!!! I can't wait, I hope they put them on SD if they do I will watch just for that. Also, not the biggest Colt fan, but hope to see him in the WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to get you to say whether you think if he's involved and if it's a good or bad thing. Sparking conversation through irresistible invisibility.

Sparking conversation through irresistible invisibility. It's an interesting thought that maybe he was a plant sent down to ROH to scout out some potential future superstars. Whether there's any truth to it? Who knows, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Countdown Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Why would WWE need to send in a "plant" to covertly identify potential stars in another company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Showtime Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think there's pretty much zero chance that that the KOW would remain a team in WWE. I think they will team in FCW for a year and come up seperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Countdown Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think they will team in FCW for a year and come up seperate. Yeah, they may well have them team in FCW. I just don't see them remaining together if/when they get called up. Honestly, given how much of an afterthought WWE's tag division is, they'd probably be better off on their own anyway.

TakerNGN74 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Me and a couple of my friends were talking about the Kings Of Wrestling situation in WWE last night. From what I have read and heard they don't want Chris Hero just Claudio Castagnoli so there ya go I think it is safe to say that just Castagnoli is going there and not Hero. On another note Vince hates tag team wrestling and has for years example the current state of the tag division. I think the last thing he would want to do is to bring in another tag team because they would get lost in the shuffle if they were used as one.

Teh_Showtime Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That is possible as CC did have a WWE deal in 2006 I think. Like them both, but I see Hero as more versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
