Wrong. It just makes them immediately laugh people off even more than usual.

That's why I think people should start chanting something like "PLEASE TURN ROMAN". "Die Rocky Die" was one of the major things that made them turn Rock. People need to use their voices specifically and pointedly and "CM PUNK" is a lovely chant for idiots.

Them laughing it off is the equivalent of the forum poster claiming he is the puppet master. If they actually laughed it off they would never feel the need to mention it at all.

But dont you see? it doesnt matter that Dusty and Regal actually work or worked with the talent, all it takes is HHH lovely photography and they are ready to go. If they fail they where never good to begin with.

Like 90% of NXT's purpose is to be able to show shareholders 'look at this thing HHH runs, it is not a tire fire!' so the stock doesn't lose 50% of its value in a panic when Vince steps down, so why wouldn't it be used to also get HHH as company boss over with fans, and make talent feel like he truly, truly cares about them on a personal level.

Still doesn't change the fact that there are more effective and pointed ways to use your voices than chanting for a guy who isn't there and will never come back.

AJ getting deafening dueling chants in the showdown with Cena, I GUARANTEE you, impacted his booking after that. It wasn't CENA SUCKS, they were chanting for AJ.

CM Punk made a ton of money in five minutes to get punched a few times. Went home to his hot wife and spends his days reading comics and going to hockey games. I think he's fine.

Yeah but AJ is legit the best wrestler in the world. When bullshit is happening in a company with people you don't give a poo poo about. Why not try and piss wwe off a bit. Who gives a poo poo about playing nice with a publicly traded corporation who mistreats its talent and actively hates their fans.

Because pissing them off is how we get Mania 32 booking. Like I'm not saying don't say "This thing sucks", I'm saying CM Punk is one of the stupidest things that can be chanted.

If your goal is to spite a publicly-traded company, I know the best way to do that is to give them a lot of money.

Its funny how they tout NXT as this niche product while the goon consensus is that NXT is loving awful right now? But they are not a real promotion so it doesnt matter if they dont make money, stars or compelling tv. When HHH is in charge of the company im sure he will make things right.

HHH realizing every week that the fans are going to chant CM Punk and suddenly talking much louder and faster is consistently hilarious. it's like every week he thinks he's just gonna come out they're and they're gonna chant "HE"S THE GAME, THE rear end-KICKER, CEREB-RAL 'SASSIN, KING OF KINGS"
