If you base your feelings about the american justice system on this trash case that isn't 1/10 as bad as some of the poo poo that happens in it, then you're a god drat wizard of hell who can do any magic you'd like at any time, and kill anyone, and become stronger than a bunch of people

I mean, yes those things are all true of me, but one thing that is fascinating about both this case, and WWE in general, is that they're a good microcosm of many of the problems in this country's legal system and business culture and practices. It hopefully wouldn't be the first and only thing that opens up someone's eyes, but it's a drat good representation of a dark, bigger picture.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
So the only way this situation gets better from a popcorn standpoint, is WWE coming to fund Cabana's lawsuit.

Announce it on Monday the same day they officially recognize Lesnar overtook Punk's longest title reign for that extra shred of pettiness (and assuming my googling is right).

Reminder that punk only got title reigns because WWE's cadre of top guys were all hurt. And they kept the belt on him but put his title defenses mid card or opening matches because that's how WWE treats organically made draws.

I'm not joking, from the summaries I read it sounded like he literally got on the stand and said,"This didn't affect my professional life in any way, didn't affect how my peers or co-workers or employer saw me, didn't affect my private practice (which I don't have) at all and I lost no money real or potential in any way... but I felt bad for a little bit at Thanksgiving, give me 40 million dollars."
He did, at one point, try to cite his malpractice insurance premiums and deductible going up a lot after the podcast, but that was dropped before trial: https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/exclusives/cm-punk-subpoena-request-wwe-could-cost-him-120000

Wasn't that dropped because it turned out his premiums had gone up exactly the same as everybody else's were going up and it demonstrably had nothing to do with Punk at all?

I haven't heard that specifically reported or seen a ruling on it, no.

Punk is just following the trend of every punk who got to middle class and above. Becoming a gently caress you got mine, NIMBY tory boy who thinks he's still anti establishment because he listens to guys with tattoos and says gently caress in polite conversation.

We should have known what was happening when we found out he was a Landlord.

Your comment implies punk is a UK thing.

Punk started in NY, sir. :colbert:

It's the same thing because Punk became Johnny Ramone.

I'm doing literally no research but it's my understanding a tattoo parlor opened in the building he owns.

Punk started in the 60s in the midwest, sorry. It was the sudden surge in garage bands and the accompanying zine culture that coined the term Punk. It hit New York and London because that's where musicians went to "make it."

I was a big Punk fan back in the ROH days and was so excited when he came to WWE. I thought his WWE run was not great but I also stopped watching WWE around then. The stuff in 2011 with MITB and whatnot was great. It is a bummer that he is an rear end in a top hat but I am not very surprised.

Cabana is a weird awkward walking fridge. He seems like a nice guy. I don't listen to his podcast much anymore especially since the format change but I still like him. If you want to hear more about how much of a weirdo he is, listen to the episode of This Feels Terrible he did, a podcast about relationships, to hear how bad he is at dates and stuff.
