Why? Are you only allowed to voice your opinion if you are a Punk fan? You have no tolerance for others opinions? Guys like you really piss me off.

Then, if you're such a "superfan", do us all a favor and follow your own advice: stop bitching about it and just enjoy the damn show. Sorry about the language, Richard, but guys like this really piss me off.

Orton is a natural heel but I persoally prefer him like the way Austin was when he first became face he was still a rulebreaker still didnt care but the crowd was into it and Orton can feed that similar style just like Punk can because if u noticed Punk is supposed to be top heel but he STILL gets a reaction like Cena which is mixed between cheers and boos and it has taken him MONTHS to even get to that point of getting heel heat

I was a fan in the 70's, 80's and 90's. that's why I hate all the whining and crying.

from what they have done so far I would be really suprised to see punk lose the title to anyone but the rock at the rumble.. effectively setting up cena vs rock for the title at wrestlemania.. the way it was supposed to happen the first time! Somewhere in between the rumble and elimation chamber stone cold gets into it with punk somehow for their mania match. Anyone else see it going this way.

You would’ve never made it as a fan in the 70′s, 80′s, or even 90′s. Backlund 6yrs, hogan 4yrs, savage 1yr, hogan 1yr. That’s when it was great not 18sec matches and 45sec reigns. Ok Andre the Giant 30sec reign but that was a one time thing and a major part of the storyline. Ziggler, Cena couldn’t lace any of there boots.

I don't get how Punk brought prestige to anything. He is old and boring and has been champ way to long and has lost fans because of it. All that crying and whining is an embarrassment . He thinks he could have made it In the attitude era? They didn't whine and cry. They would have ate his lunch.

I love punk’s near 11 month title reign. It brings some prestige back to the title..I think 4 title changes are good..maybe through in a swerve here and there for Money in the Bank winners..its great

Why can’t they book undertaker like Brock or The Rock? It would make perfect sence to build up his match before wrestlemania with him making minimal appearances. The bigger the build up the better the pay off rather making a pointless forgettable storyline 2 or 3 months before wrestlemania. And going “oh, Taker’s back a month before wrestlemania and is gonna win, yey” I can’t even remember who he fought 5 years ago.

The title is earned. They wont put the title on anybody, only someone who can effectively carry it. So in reality, it does “mean” something.

They mean alot more than a prop imagine wrestling with no titles it would mean everybody is the same no matter how good they are their equal the belts separate the best the rest those belts mean alot to wrestlers and they truly do determine their legacy in wrestling biz

It’s called “Suspension of disbelief”. When you watch a movie or tv show, you don’t question why people put thought into the stories of the characters because you accept it for what it is. Entertainment.

Because that’s the sport in sports entertainment. They don’t show win/loss records but they show title reigns. It’s the only way to show acheivement.
What your saying sounds like they should have a decibel meter and when a performer enters it should show how loud their reaction is when they enter and that just sounds way too silly

I really hope cm punk hold the title all the way to survivor series BEST IN THE WORLD

I think the question was if they’d still get their bonus if it was a storyline injury

By: Nick

Nick — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 16:46:57 +0000

They’ve done that before Richard, a good example is Kane, he was written off tv following a beat down by Mark Henry, when he came back Henry was in the ring and who did he go after? John Cena! The reason was so lame that it just made the storyline worse. How about Chris Jericho? Before his last stint he was written off because of a Orton “punt” to the head. Then when he came back he was a babyface for a few weeks but never went after Orton for “revenge”. WWE has amnesia so I will not be surprised when Orton comes back he attacks Sheamus or something. So lame!

Richard, and others, I really have to ask why people put so much thought into titles/title reigns?

I know Richard is smart enough to know wrestling is nothing more than entertainment and that outside of accidents it's all completely scripted but why do people look at something like titles/title reigns (example) as something to "read into"? It is, and always has been, a prop. It's not like CM Punk "beat" some other athlete for his "title" and "won" it.

I don't know, maybe I'm getting too old for wrestling but I really think people look at wrestling as something it's not, and never was more than, and that's… scripted entertainment.
