Punk on NXT, coming full circle and being the "veteran" holding down up and coming talent would be a cool use for him.
|
I’d go as far as saying I “want” it to happen now. Punk would never agree, lol. But him taking over the Diamond Mine and going through Bron Breakker, Roderick Strong, Damon Kemp and Solo Sikoa could be fun stuff that could give the show a proper anchor.
You can could do so much with it. Kurt Angle could become a coach for Damon Kemp, with Punk going after the obvious personal issues of Angle. Solo Sikoa could be offered a spot in Punk’s Diamond Mine, but turn it down and be the DDP of NXT. Punk could add Tessa Blanchard to the group, which would be interesting given her failed professional relationship with AJ Lee (you wouldn’t bring it up, but it would be there). He can do the announcer feud with Wade Barrett, who could cut his own “pipe-bomb” about coming out of retirement. |

Have Punk go back to his "savior" gimmick a little bit, and say that he is "saving" the young talent from the wrestling business because "take it from me, the wrestling business will destroy your soul and your spirit just like it destroyed mine"
So he is there to "save" the young talent by taking over NXT and trying to "end their careers" right there before they make it to the horrors of the big stage. |

The same thing that makes swagger bad in MMA makes him bad in wrestling. He's got the personality to cure insomnia. The fight game and MMA are the same game. Because they're both the fight game. And on the other side the same thing that makes Punk a shit tier fighter makes him a shit tier worker: he's a giant pussy.
Everyone who doesnt mind punk being a giant pussy is already watching. And its not cutting it. |
Now if we could mesh them into one guy we'd have a top tier fighter and a top tier worker...

With Punk though, no amount of skill in pretend fighting should be enough for anybody with any sense at all to forget just how absolutely bad at fighting he really is. Had Punk never done MMA, he could have come back to wrestling and still had the benefit of fans not knowing how inept he actually is. Like Bischoff said, he worked himself into thinking because he was booked to win fake fights that he could actually fight. He cannot, and now we all know it. |
This just reminds me of how special Brock is.
|
Jake Hager is not a good MMA fighter really.

Maybe at the time, because nobody knew where they were going with it, I thought there was an element of shoot to it, but I have my doubts. IIRC I was just like "Oh shit they actually finally let Punk be Punk, this could be good." Retrospectively, it seemed like a work the whole way through, especially once he won the fucking title. And I don't see what's wrong with that. It was really well done. Anyways, in recent times, especially, I haven't talked to anyone who actually thinks it was a shoot. |

Brock has become less and less of a draw over time. By any metric you wanna use to measure it.
It’s almost as if what he did in MMA has become less of a factor and his wrestling booking has effected his drawing power in... ya know... wrestling. |
I’ve used this analogy before: Imagine watching a boxing movie where Mike Tyson, in his prime, plays a fictional version of himself. If he’s loses 50% of the time in the movie, as they build to his big fight while promoting him as an unstoppable beast, are you gonna think “Well, he IS Mike Tyson.” or are you gonna think “This is shit storytelling. I’m out.”?

Got buzzed of a dumdum making an analogy.
Imagine the NBA wanted to make a movie about the greatest 3 point shooter of all time Steph Curry. Now imagine they cast Shaquille O'Neal to play Steph Curry. That film would be a comedy of epic proportions, because everybody knows Shaq is a horrible 3 point shooter. FYI, Shaq made one 3 point shot in his entire career, which is one more than the number of wins that exposed fraud Phil had in his MMA career. Phil being presented as the best guy is an embarrassment to AEW. |
LOL @ “Got buzzed” as the new strategy. Holy shit.
|
Of course idiot ignored the entire analogy and focused on something else. Moron, I have ALREADY posted a screenshot in the casual politics thread of a different somebody summoning me to look at and respond to your dumbshit posts. I don't give a fuck if you believe I have you ignored or not. The fact is other people apparently like me calling out the stupid takes or they would not direct me to it. It must be the same way you get sick pleasure beating it to your CM Punk posters.
You think you are winning a debate by actually getting me to respond, but it is not your accomplishment, I am responding by request. Some KOTF lol |
Just in case anybody here is like me and doesn't visit the casual forum much, here is proof of Fan getting owned both then and again now

I feel like even Noid not being able to bring himself to go along with this latest retarded “CM FRAUD” narrative pushed you over the edge. You HAD to find a way to defend yourself and recover while still pretending to ignore me. You’re in SHAMBLES from all the DUNKING on you in the last page+. Cumdorx BOILING! :rofl::rofl::rofl: |

Solely? I think the lack of other draws in wrestling has something to do with it. Brock could have gotten his ass kicked in MMA and he’d still be the top draw because no one else is a draw.
|
Putting a guy like Seth Rollins over him clean multiple times MAY have hampered his aura a bit too. Lol
If the geek in the midcard is beating you in a few minutes, you can only say “BUT REMEMBER MMA…” so much. The inverse is true too. |

And to the point "hes draws because no one does" i reject the premise. No one can draw and the company can fold. There isnt a baseline. |
