Skinty McEdger posted:The funniest thing for me about the Austin/McMahon podcast didn't actually happen in it. Seeing all the buzz and attention that the WWE was getting over it TNA decided to do one of their "look at us we're relevant too" moments releasing a podcast today with JB asking Dixie all the hard hitting questions. Of course nobody cared because it;s TNA. I cant be arsed to listen to that but I cant wait to read the poo poo from Asylum and Mecca about it.

Smoking Crow posted:I'm reading the new Observer and apparently Vince lied to stockholders about CM Punk? How is he not in deep poo poo over that? Because while suspension and sabbatical are two different things, the end result is the same, so it's not making a huge difference in the value of the stock. In reality, it's the type of thing that won't make or break a case, but will be in someone's back pocket as evidence until Vince tells a bigger lie.

However since there's already a lawsuit happening over the TV rights projections the fact that he lied about Punk being suspended is probably going to end up being relevant with regards to what they tell shareholders in that case.

I just don't think Austin gets it. Even after his interview with Vince he's still talking about those guys stepping up and breaking out of the box. Vince seemed to literally be saying "No, don't do that.". I guess Punk tried it and look where he ended up. He still talks like Cesaro still has a chance, and though Vince was actually pretty complimentary towards him, there's still the issue on his mic skills. When Austin said that Cesaro still needs to find that little something, he's presumably talking about a new accent. Times are simply different now. And you're dealing with a company that has no interest in taking chances simply because they don't have to. They hitched their horse to Austin at the time and it was clear to see why. But once competition went down the pan that line of thinking went out the window, and it feels like Austin can't quite grasp that.

Plus Vince can always claim that he earnestly believed Punk was gonna come back.

I think the only way to make it if you're not crowned the anointed golden boy (Cena, Reigns) is to magically get yourself enough momentum to ascend to Punk or Bryan's level of connection with the crowd or be their only reliable performers when the roster is depleted (Ambrose, Rollins) and then become a huge rear end in a top hat and go into business for yourself and politick the poo poo out of everything. I just think John Cena sets a terrible precedent for being a loyal company man when most of the top guys before him (Austin, Shawn, Warrior, Hogan) were backstage terrors by all accounts and simply wouldn't do a segment or a job if they thought it sucked for them.

John Cena can come up with a finish where he gets DDT'd on concrete but then pops up to beat two guys in 30 seconds in their first major match, but if Wade Barrett had resisted or said "You're making me look worthless, I won't do that" I"m sure he would have been gone instantly. I guess you have to be subtle and worm your way in there like HBK, then pitch a fit only after you've become too valuable to get rid of.

The key is to lay in wait until the WWE's competition poaches away their top stars & Vince gets dragged through the mud due to steroid scandals. THEN you can have all the stroke you want!
