John Cena's just a franchise and the closest thing to what Hulk was in the 80s. Kids deck themselves out in Cenation merchandise and when they go to a show, they want to see him win via Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. I don't think it's that much different from, I dunno, going to a James Bond movie. You know he's always going to come out Onatopp so you just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride.

Anyone see this? CM Punk crashed the AAW's 'Scars and Stripes' show on Saturday and cut a promo in the ring with Colt Cabana - the young wrestler Punk's putting over is Gregory Iron, a guy who wrestles with Cerebral Palsy;

I wounder if they will crap it up now and just book Punk as a straight heel now or will they try keep the anti establishment, lose canon "you dont know what he will say next" thing going.
How will Punk justify returning after just a week off?
Will I be able to buy a CM Punk Collectors Cup from WWEshop.com?
how will wwe.coms WWE championship archive handle having 2 champs at 1 time?
What does Colt Cabana think of all of this?
I WANT ANSWERS?!

Just wait till next week! Will Punk resign or re-sign? Will people ever stop getting confused over the two words? Will WrestleGAF ever be happy?
Edit: That's pretty cool @ Bootaaay's video.

For the moment they're only acknowledging Cena as the current champ (despite holding a much shittier replica belt) and the historic records make it seem like Punk relinquished the title after leaving the company despite returning well within any non-compete clause window.funkystudent said:

According to Wikipedia, no. It was deactivated after she left for WCW.

I think it's hilarious all HBK had to do was say two sentences and everyone went from wanting to fire Punk to being up his ass.

Omni-Orton?
CM Punk never once went over Orton in ther recent battles and that feud, like this one, is completely one sided. It didn't help out Punk after the feud, and this won't help Christian. Fact is both guys have the charisma to build themselves back up after getting squashed each and every match they participated in with Orton. I suppose we can't wait for the great feuds, 4-star matches we'll see from Orton when he starts fighting Henry.Azuran said:
Also watched that CM Punk-Jimmy Kimmel thing, really cool. How fuckin' sad was it that kid got the booking down pat. :lol

Wasn't he still a douchey drug addict when he first came back from his back injury according to Jericho's 2nd book?Seraphis Cain said:

I loved WWF in the early 90s, but I stopped watching it and didn't start again until the Attitude Era (and I payed far more attention to WCW than I did WWF) because it was too predictable. I was like, 9 years old. Yeah, I was into some of the main event-caliber stuff and I loved Bret, but most of the show was dull, established-star-vs-generic-jobber-who's-obviously-going-to-lose shit. Except for that time X-pac beat Razor. But that's one of the only times that they ever deviated from that formula.
The product is less predictable today, but not by much.
I think WWE would do well to give the undercard more attention. It seems like the main event is the only thing they really care about. The storyline going on now in the main event is great, but if they want to really get back old viewers and gain new ones, they're going to have to push hard to make people care about the whole show, and not just the final 20 minutes.

Yes. The midcard has no story what-so-ever. The main event is great right now, but things would be even greater with a good mid card feud to spice things up rather than give us a random Kofi vs. Dolph Ziggler match night in and night out.Lost Fragment said:

"The 7/25 edition of Raw did 3.2 rating with 4,805,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.01 and 3.4, which meant that there was a lot of growth from hour one to hour two. That is a good sign for the current direction of the company. "

He hung out with Juggalos so I don't think I ever talked to him. If I'm not mistaken he had multiple wrestling shirts, but they were ones you'd get at like a flea markets.GBONZZZZ said:
