CM Punk vs Cena at MitB 2011 was (at the time) probably the best match I'd ever seen. A lot of that was due to the storyline, the crowd, and the general feeling of being sick and tired of Cena at the time. But I'm sure it's still really good and should be mandatory viewing if you want to know why he's a big deal to a lot of people. Punk vs Daniel Bryan at Over the Limit 2012 was also like most of Punk's WWE title reign - exciting stuff that WWE shoved in the middle of the card for no good reason. CM Punk vs Cena on Raw (Feb 25th 2013) when Punk busted out a piledriver was also really, really good.

Shard posted:Is Doc Sampson a better doc than he was in WWE? Because he sounded terrible in WWE I'm hoping that since he has different directives, as in he doesn't have to keep the talent barely functional to perform 300 nights a year, his entire treatment program would be different from how it was in WWE.

It's such a given fact of life now that it barely even registers but it cannot be overstated how incredible it was that they had a ratings-driving, buy-drawing, fan-beloved angle with the two hottest stars in the sport that was getting the WWE its first real mainstream press coverage for a wrestling angle in years and they decided the best use of it was bringing it to a sudden close to get Triple H and Kevin Nash over there's so much about where we are now that comes from that goddamn angle

Kunabomber posted:Can't help but wonder how they're smoothing out the whole situation with him, Colt Cabana, and Doc Sampson... but I'm gonna figure that they're all adults and won't affect whatever they got planned. Given how AEW's work environment has affected guys like Jake Roberts and Tully Blanchard, two notoriously difficult people to have around, I do wonder if some of Punk's abrasiveness will be smoothed out by not being in a toxic shithole locker room full of hazing and cliques.

rantmo posted:Are there any particularly good, or at least notable, Punk matches that would be worth watching? I wasn't watching wrestling when he was a Thing, though as a Chicagoan I certainly knew of him. If you just watched a highlight reel of WWE punk matches you're not gonna understand why people felt really high on punk. If you put punk in the context of the storyline, the promo's, and especially who else was on the roster and was getting pushed hard he becomes wrestling jesus.

I hope punk has worked the rust off, it’d be a bummer for him to come back to all this hype and just suck.

If Adam Cole goes to AEW, how do they bring him back on BTE? Use a necromancer? I think it cpuld make for a fun episode. But yeah AEW would be best for him, even with the big debuts. He's great in NXT but that is as good as it is going to get for him there. If he was going to be on tbe main roster they would've done it already. Even if they did he would eventually be in Main Event purgatory.

Shard posted:Is Doc Sampson a better doc than he was in WWE? Because he sounded terrible in WWE Michael Sampson was with WWE from 2009 to 2013, so he was gone before Punk was. I may be wrong, but I don't believe he wasn't ever named by Punk and he wasn't part of the lawsuit from Chris Amman against Punk and Cabana. There may have been other horror stories I've forgotten, but most/all of those were about Amman.

A Fancy Hat posted:CM Punk vs Cena on Raw (Feb 25th 2013) when Punk busted out a piledriver was also really, really good. I just wanted to emphasize this, because I was one of the "tired of Cena" brigade, and I'll give him full credit for working his rear end off there in that match. Punk busted out an old-school sitdown piledriver which had been banned from WWE (and which elicited a shocked response from Lawler on commentary, as it was his finisher for many years)...and then later in the match, Cena busted out a loving huracanrana. It's really, really good for a match that wasn't even on PPV.
