I was kind of amused by the Chris Brown / CM Punk thing, but now that WWE has it as their top story on the website I feel a little weird about it. And yeah, whether this is still "legit" or Punk is being egged on by management now that it has taken off, he's being a tad hypocritical with Austin's past being what it is.
Anyway...
[quote name='pitfallharry219']Wasn't KaneRobot the one who made a big show about quitting wrestling about 5 years ago, and it lasted for about 3 days?[/QUOTE]
If you're interested in being my personal historian you're going to have to get your facts straight. I'm flattered you remember my mention of it the time I made the WM-themed OP, though. That was five years ago, so must have been an awesomely memorable post.
I stopped watching wrestling regularly after WM23 for a while - however long it was until the Nexus thing first started, that sort of hooked me back in. I even mentioned when I SAID I was going to stop watching regularly that I'd check in on the news sites since I felt like that was enough and I wasn't missing anything. So for a few years I rarely watched. There's no hidden agenda there so I'm not sure what you are after. I wasn't aware that it was a worthwhile talking point that someone tunes in and out. I've watched it since I was like 6 years old, even if I wasn't watching the current stuff I'd still pop in for a video of Akeem dancing or a weird photo of Magnum T.A. sitting on a motorcycle or a discussion of a Moondog being the original Smash.
[quote name='mykevermin']Grossly inaccurate?[/QUOTE]
No, the term was "strangely inaccurate." Misquoting seems to be a running joke here or something. But "like it matters," right?
You were dumping on Cena, saying he'd said it all before, and then later stroked your dong over Undertaker...You brought up all the Metallica and were gushing about its use, as if it were this amazing thematic overlay...
I'm just going to assume you aren't even reading what I write at this point, so I wish you wouldn't bother responding. Or put me on ignore. Whatever. You're either not paying attention or you're just stupid, and I'm assuming it ain't the latter.
You claimed I said/suggested -
What I actually said
Count me among those not impressed with Cena's promo. Same shit, different day. "The Rock isn't here."
That's exactly what happened as far as I'm concerned. You're welcome to disagree but at least show some evidence. That has been Cena's only talking point this whole time - I'm here because I love this place and the Rock isn't because (insert "he doesn't respect you," "he doesn't love WWE," whatever). Ok, we get it. And it has already been responded to. Apparently feeling that the promo did nothing new means I think he can "do no right."
I'd love to see him actually be an antagonist again because he is capable of being entertaining, but he's awful right now. It was a good Cena promo in that he didn't compare someone to poop or pee or act like a pandering cornball - he used that in the opening segment instead. If you're "stroking your dong" over him saying the same shit over and over (minus suggesting Rock is a $$$ since he's no longer allowed to do that) and the little WWE produced inspirational videos where indy guys verbally fellate him, congrats. Based on his charity work and general lack of stories about him pulling political bullshit I'd assume Cena is a very decent guy in real life. Good for him, I'd buy him a drink if I saw him at the bar. That doesn't mean he's an entertaining performer in his current role.
I'll get to the Undertaker thing in a second, but let's get this out of the way...
You claimed I said/suggested -
using Metallica is a great idea

You brought up all the Metallica and were gushing about its use, as if it were this amazing thematic overlay
What I actually said -
I actually like that song ok considering it's post-heyday Metallica, but it definitely wouldn't be my first choice for that feud.
Hilarious.
Of course, instead of just saying "oops" your thought is probably "Who cares! Like it matters!" More on that in a minute as well.
If you think I was being too kind to 'Taker when I said he was rusty at first and settled in after (which ain't exactly "can do no wrong" by the way), that's up to you. If you were just trying to shoehorn in the Undertaker comment since I apparently don't criticise him enough for your liking, tough shit. If he does something that stinks, I'll be glad to discuss it. He barely does anything TO discuss these days and when he does perform it's generally very good, so I'm not sure what you're after here. The wig was funny (which I've said before), and I don't want to see HHH vs Undertaker yet again (which I've said numerous times before). Happy now?
I'm no Cena fan, but I at least have the dignity of not living in a world where the people I like only do good things and the people I don't like only do terrible things. You pulled this same hypersensitive shit a few weeks back when someone was criticizing Kane's matches for being boring (that Ambulance match on Sunday night was a massive dose of wrestling melatonin). Someone criticized someone you like and you rush to their defense like a knight on horseback, as if (1) any of this is factually defensible
My defense of Kane's body of work is only as "hypersensitive" as your defensive adulation of Cena (adding a little caveat of "I'm no Cena fan" is a cute touch though - heck, I noticed I even did it when I was mentioning The Rock earlier). While being Kane's VALIANT BRAVE SHINING KNIGHT ON HORSEBACK I mentioned I didn't think he was a top worker or anything but what I was responding to was quite ridiculous ("get him off TV"). It was.
Like any of this shit "matters." It's a pro wrestling discussion thread on a video game website. Or is only the stuff you discuss worth discussing?
Comprehend before responding.
