The indie wrestler reaction was ridiculous... its..... A shameful thing
Click to expand...

Joey Ryan just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about WWE culture (I'm an expert), but honoring stipulations and a total dedication to realism are huge parts of it. It's not like TNA where you can become successful by winning a Barbed Wire Chrismas Tree match. If you oversell a gimicked barrier spot in the WWE, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is jobbing to Evan Bourne on Superstars.

What this means is Vince McMahon and HHH, after seeing that over-selling, are not going to want to give Joey Ryan the opportunity to become a midcard jabroni again, allow him to be placed in the crowd for more gimmicked barricade or Spanish Announce Table destruction reaction shots again, nor will they watch anymore of his PWG highlight DVDs. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Joey Ryan has alienated the entire WWE Universe™ with this move.

Joey Ryan, publicly apologize and stop over-selling gimmick spots, or you can kiss your dreams of working for the next two years in FCW only to be called up to be the second guy eliminated in a 7-minute Smackdown battle royal match before you are "future endeavored" goodbye.

I can't believe you actually spend that much time to write that out. LOL.
 
All jokes aside...that joey ryan thing did rub me the wrong way. I honestly thought it was an audience member mocking the spot. Why someone in the business would do that is beyond me... Just came off as a douchebag

I refuse to let this post get no-sold.
 
Wow, why does it seem like Matt Striker is a contestant on NXT? LOL

It would be funny if when all is said and done, it's Striker that gets sent to the big show.
 
Darren Young was in the main event of Summerslam 2010. Why is he on NXT? Fuck, this is the first time I've watched NXT this season and it is fucking horrible. Regal makes me want to fall asleep.

Everyone was saying how the WWE shirts tend to run small and to get a size up from what you typically wear. Apparently that's true.

What's with six sided stars, and won't feel weird when people who don't watch wrestling will say why does it say CM Punk on the back of your shirt.


I hate the white color! Give me a black one that says best in the world.

Does anyone have any shopzone coupons?

Paying $30.00 for shirt is a bit much.

$5 off $30+ Order WWEMRREB5
$10 off $70+ Order WWESAVE10
$15 off $100+ Order WWEAFF15
Free U.S. Standard Shipping on $35+ or get $5 Flat Rate U.S. Ground Shipping on Any Order SHIP35

Their coupons have pretty much been shit since February. They used to have 10% off on a regular basis, even as much as 30% off activated every other month (but unadvertised so you had to check back often to see if it worked).
 
The door man on my way out of work told me my shirt was cool.

Am I a hypocrite If I wear my CM Punk shirt, but engage in activities that are not straight edge? I felt weird when I got home and started to partake in things I don't think Punk would approve of.

No? Best in the World persona has nothing to do with being Straight Edge.
