The argument that anyone could get a reaction with the pipe bomb promo is absurd because Punk came up with the promo. He wasn't handed the script; they were his words. That's like saying that the Rolling Stones weren't that great because anybody could have played "Satisfaction" and people would have liked it. It discounts the fact that the end product was the direct result of Punk's creative output.

If I remember right, he didn't always take the traditional flat back bumps because he felt they weren't realistic for every situation. Some people perceived this as him not being able to work.

They pushed him really hard and did a lot of things to make him look special so it's not like it's shameful if a fan was super into him. They gave him a special theme, a motorcycle and as usual he rarely lost. If he didn't get over with all that it'd be quite the story.

Also ABA let Taker start working a different in ring style. His early time in the gimmick sucked but he also had good matches with the likes of Angle and Lesnar (not hard to do granted) that likely never would have happened as the Deadman. Thankfully Kane killed him and he returned but maintained his moveset.

That pay is nowhere near what he would make for a UFC fight when you factor in the massive PPV bonus that he would get because he is the biggest draw the UFC ever had. If money was the only factor, Brock would have gone back to MMA. Re-signing is the happy medium between getting paid a fuckton of money and not working that much/getting punched on the dome.

There's no reason outside of bone headedness that the Raw womens division shouldn't be really great and interesting.

NXT Womens division elevated itself from "haha, this is a lot better than the Raw Divas" to "holy poo poo, this is the best part of NXT" over the last six months, and this is all it took:

- Becky Lynch becomes #1 contender
- A couple of segments culminating in a contract signing/brawl. Nice video package.
- A really close match where Becky came up just short.

- Bayley becomes #1 contender
- A couple of segments culminating in a contract signing/brawl. Nice video package.
- A really close match where Bayley wins

- Sasha requests rematch. Granted. Main Event! Ironman!
- Nice video package.
- A really close match where Bayley wins

Super, super basic booking. It wasn't even given all that much time outside of Bayley's winning streak (The ironman build was literally one live segment and video packages). They just set the matches up and let the wrestlers do their thing.

All of this requires treating women as athletes and well-rounded characters, which is impossible for those in charge on the main roster. The most telling thing is that all main roster women's matches are prefaced with, "The following is a DIIIIIVAS match..." instead of the standard, "The following is a one fall/tag match/etc." Once you treat the match as some sideshow attraction, it will never be taken seriously by the audience.
