When CM Punk says he wouldn't be where he is now if people hadn't taken a chance on a guy like Edge, what does he mean? I thought Edge was thought of as a future major player from the get-go?

Edge spent the better part of a decade in the midcard and they took a chance with him being the first Money in the Bank winner. Definitely not someone they planned on pushing at first.

That and he was only supposed to be a transitional champion but they were shocked that Edge was one of the only wrestlers that could keep a consistent heel reaction going against Cena after the whole Matt/Lita/Edge scandel.

Edge was always a guy they wanted to make a main eventer but injuries got in the way of their plans. His initial title reign was only supposed to be a short thing to get rid of his MITB, but he wasn't someone WWE didn't have plans for.

Yeah this is what I gathered from, well, posters here (so I assume it's something Meltzer said a few times) so I don't get why CM Punk relates to him. Is it the Diva dating thing?

It could be the fact the WWE signed him in the first place when he wasn't exactly the typical Vince project (although he is really tall) or maybe he just means how he got the ball after MITB. Punk may also just be saying things, he does that too.

They got the highest rating in like, a year the day after Edge won. They didn't re-book their immediate plans like they should have, but they did decide that he was a main-eventer.

Was Davey Boy Smith ever considered a main event contender? I remember the announcers always going on about him being the strongest guy in the WWF, which sounds pretty Vince-tastic. He wasn't any worse than Luger or Sid, so why no push for the wife-beating possible rapist I once adored?

The Tim Hornbaker book from a few years ago is the definitive historical text, but it's not a light read.

Contender yes. He was considered a top guy in WCW back in 1993 for a spell and was considered a contender in 1996. However both times were due to necessity and not because he was a draw.

He was really more an upper midcarder guy who was decent in the ring but lacked charisma. At least he'll go down as having some of the greatest matches in the WWF in the 90s.

Based on Austin's history, the moment that WWE insists on doing something that he thinks is a waste of himself/the storyline he's involved in, he will simply go home.

Some have called it petulant in the past, but it's also a very effective technique. Austin doesn't need another WWE run, he doesn't actually NEED anything, he's got more than enough money to live in luxury for the rest of his life. He won't waste time politicking or negotiating or horsetrading or compromising, if they're going to gently caress up the storyline then he just simply won't take any part in it.

He seems to be more than willing to lose/put somebody else over, but he won't "waste" that on the wrong person/situation. He refused to put over Lesnar in a match, not because he didn't want to lose to Lesnar but because they wanted him to lose in an out of nowhere match on a random Raw. He said that was stupid because it would waste the rub and a potentially huge moneyspinner of a PPV match, they said too bad do it anyway, and he said,"No, gently caress it I'll just go home."

They wanted Coach to pin him in a match - COACH! - and he said that's loving crazy what possible value is there in putting over a play by play guy. They said too bad, do it anyway and he said,"No, gently caress it I'll just go home."

So basically, it would seem to me that if Austin did decide to come back for a year (and I think it more likely to be a few months of limited appearances building up to one big (or maybe 2-3) matches), it would be on his terms, with a very specific goal in mind of what needs to be accomplished and who needs to get over and why. I doubt he'd just sign on to a new contract for a year and then just see what they have for him.

I can see it now:
--Austin returns after Cena loses to Brock, and Cena begins to doubt himself after losing to both Rock and Lesnar.

--Austin challenges Cena in order to "get back his fire", but Cena refuses.

--Austin antagonizes Cena continually via interference and promos a la McMahon, and then demands Johnny Ace sign the match. Johnny Ace refuses because he is a heel and therefore a bad person who doesn't want to give the audience what they want to see.

--Austin stuns Johnny Ace to biggest crowd reaction in months. WWE Creative interprets that as showing that Johnny Ace/Austin is the real money match. Michael Cole makes comments on the air that Ace was the original "master of the Stunner" who taught Austin the move. WWE Creative books a PPV match: Johnny Ace Vs. Austin "Master of the Stunner" match. Johnny Ace is booked to go over.

--Austin says "gently caress this, this is stupid" and goes home in the middle of the angle. Writers insert Randy Orton in the match at the last minute. Orton wins.

Disco Inferno used it also. I always thought it was a potshot by WCW that "Your main eventer uses this it but it's only good enough for jobbers here". Then Billy Gunn used The Jackhammer as a regular move.

The story is even better than this. It started with Kurt doing a huge twitter rnt about Swagger using the ankle lock, to which Orton replied "Shamrock did it first." Then Angle started bitching about how Orton had stolen moves from everyone, leading to Orton pulling out the Angle slam at every opportunity. So Angle then hits the RKO.

Which led to DDP, very tongue in cheek, tweeting that Angle needs to stop stealing his moves.

WWE didn't do any Triple Threat matches until about 1997, so I doubt it very much. Nothing springs to mind that sounds anything like that.

Not necessarily. She might have slapped him first. In a gender equality situation, a retaliatory slap would be justified, and the justice system takes domestic abuse against males li-... I can't do it. You're right, that was a silly post for PSP.

As to the original post, athletes constantly do scummy things and people still support them, so I'm sure some would. Personally, if he was actually unrepentant I'd just think he's an rear end in a top hat, and try to ignore him as much as possible.
