crime

I swear bands just break up so they can cash in on a farewell tour then a reunion tour.

I'm not sure putting Cesaro in the EC match is really pushing him. They need someone who can work really well to job for the superstars. That's why I guy like Christian is in the match and that's usually why someone like Kofi or Ziggler makes their way into the match as well.

How dare they replace Punk with that no talent hack.

I watched Impact this week and quite frankly it didn't suck. They've got some decent storylies going, but I'm sure they'll fuck them up somehow.

Does anyone actually care?

Punk will not make anywhere close to WWE money in the indies. He made MILLIONS of dollars a year in the WWE. ROH just can't up and double the size of their venues. Larger venue means larger overhead. You'd have to up the price of the tickets to cover Punks pay as well as the overhead of having a larger venue.

I know that, but the sheer volume of people wanting to go to those shows. Have you ever tried to buy tickets for an ROH event online when they first go on sale? Their servers crash for just a normal ippv event. Add in a superstar like Punk coming back and I'm not sure their technical infrastructure could handle it.

Got tickets for the Motley Crue Farewell tour and Taking Back Sunday/The Used today. Spent fucking $300 for two shows. That's retarded.

He was the "ironman" of the match. Go back and watch other Rumbles, the "ironman" each year spends a lot of time kinda just chillin' somewhere in the ring away from the action. I couldn't imagine how physically demanding wrestling for 45+ minutes is.

I hate Jack Swagger, but him and Cesaro work so well together. They've taken the Real Americans gimmick and fine tuned it so well. They also work so well together in the ring. It's just amazing. I'm not even sure Punk could return to the indies. I'm not sure a lot of indie promotions could handle the type of draw he would bring. It would be amazing to see him back in ROH (especially since they're roster is pretty fucking weak right now).

Well The Real Americans are pretty much as over as you can get as a tag team (that doesn't involve D-Dry) right now. I would not be shocked to see them push another for indie darling if Punk is legit gone.

How crazy would it be if Punk returned to the indies. That would be fucking insane. It does seem strange if you tie this into Mick Foley's "reaction" to Batista winning the Rumble. I think it's legit because of how he was treated/used in the WWE before. If it was a work they would make a much bigger deal out of it.

Can I have some DECORUM!

That fat piece of shit is so annoying. He flipped out last year when Punk dropped the title to The Rock. It's so fake. Why would your girlfriend film you watching wrestling.

This thread needs some Decorum

When are they going to get Orton just one belt. I'm not sure why but it bothers me that he walks around with both the old titles. Vince needs to dip into those pockets and dish out the cash for a new belt.

The Usos will win the belts next.

Lesnar needs to have a title match at EC. They've already set that one up.

lol good luck getting that one in. You'll probably have that taken away.

Batista's greatest match

lol that doesn't surprise me at all. He let's the fans get under his skin so easily. He used to yell at fans all the time. There's a good youtube video of a fan yelling "I hate you Batista" (or something along those lines) and in the middle of a match he turns around and yells "I hate you too"

What I've got lined up for the year so far. Feb 6th - Dave Hause, Northcote @ The Horseshoe Tavern Feb 24th - Touche Amore, mewithoutyou @ The Mod Club March 14th - Jersey, Somehow Hollow @ Club Absinthe April 8th - Carcass @ Sound Academy April 9th - Dillinger Escape Plan, Trash Talk @ The Opera House June 25th - Fall Out Boy, Paramore @ The Molson Amphitheatre

I honestly don't get it. No superstar has gotten over with the crowd like Bryan is since Stone Cold and the brass won't embrace that? Maybe they'll give him the title after Mania.

Batista is completely gassed and he's barely done anything.

I don't like that Dean came in from the back instead of from the crowd.
