If you dislike after Ryback after hearing him openly admit that he's dumb as gently caress, you are bad.

Do you think Austin will touch on this next Monday:



"Exclusively on WWE Network", so no.
I'm assuming there's going to be a set of pre-vetted topics, minimal breaking of the suspension of disbelief around Wrestlemen as a whole and nothing that could affect the stock outlook by Vince putting his foot in his mouth.

yeah i was starting to warm up to him a little after a long time of disliking him but gently caress him lmao

i believe this actually isn't the first time i've heard he's a total rear end in a top hat either, though i can't remember who else has said it

tbf, even hearing it from Punk he's more incompetent than malicious. Hopefully he's gotten better.

Knowing how bad Japanese business practices are, New Japan is probably worse

They have a screwy mentality with injuries as well but they seem to treat the boys well and people are happy backstage. Hell, when people have had to take time off for injuries they've gotten the same push afterwards.

No matter how horrible you think it is I can pretty much guarantee that it's worse. Have you seen the poo poo people eat to keep a 50k a year job? Now multiply that by 6 and you're feasting on turds all day long.

I feel like Ryback has definitely got better since his surgery, but they still seem reluctant to push him especially after he gassed pretty hard in a sub 10 min match with Cesaro.

If I recall correctly, after Punk left, Ryback tweeted something like "Are we taking dibs? I call the Go 2 Sleep."

The tweet has since then been deleted.

I like everything Ryback does outside the ring, but if he's that dangerous they need to bust him down to NXT or something till he isn't.

I could have sworn there were people saying Ryback wasn't all that dangerous and people here were just making a big deal about nothing. The usual WWE apologist kind of stuff.

Anyway Ryback Rules and he ran CM Punk out of the company, he should work that into his gimmick.

He'll never be seen on TV again if that's the case. He was in developmental forever and never got good at anything other than somehow passing wellness tests.

How arrogant do you have to be to say that the Shield was ruined because they didn't debut as your lackeys, and instead debuted and created three fresh and new stars? Did Punk really need another New Nexus?

Did he ever say they were "ruined"? I didn't get that, I just thought Punk was listing another suspicious example of him working on something and then Vince or HHH taking it away.

I think he's also mad at HHH for vetoing Chris Hero out of the Shield, which kind of makes him leaving make more sense now.

That was back in 2000 in the ye olde days of the internet. Now the majority of the first world has a smartphone that connects them to the internet 24/7. Even someone casual who just googles CM Punk to see what he's up to will be able to find this.
