General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

Still don't get the Ziggler love, and that doesn't even include the need to shed Vickie.

**Lucavi** · 2012-12-04 14:20

He's the reincarnation of Kurt Hennig; a guy that sells moves so well that he basically makes the other guy look better than he is. Its why they never gave Kurt the WWF Championship; he was so good at making the current title-holder look even better that they figured that its best to have him fight, but lose.

Punk kind of alluded to this last night when he was talking about how him losing to Randy Orton last year while the Miz won the Title was more memorable in the minds of everyone than the Miz's victory. Pretty much the same situation.

I love guys like that; guys that actually know how to wrestle and sell things so well (without overselling like the Rock was prone to doing - see his triple backflip from a stunner in hilarious fashion) that they can increase the visible skill of their opposition by proxy.

So what's with this damn thing about Punk undergoing emergency knee surgery now? -____-
If this is legit, the only reason I'm still watching this damn program might be about to take an extended leave. Fucking Rybotch.

Thought the knee injury was a month ago.

It's one thing to "take a hit" but another to give 'em. That's why I don't see him because, should he actually win and get a belt, it basically means he's gonna skirt by any losses just barely. And we're already getting that with Punk and repeated interferences. I think the Funk quote from a bit back nailed it. He's jobbed too much.

**Tyrath** · 2012-12-04 14:38

Oh come on, Rock's stunner sells were fucking amazing.

Trigun · 2012-12-04 14:43

Gotta have a montage and god damn do I get hyped when I hear his music hit.

**Doombear** · 2012-12-04 14:49

Ziggles can sell, no doubt. I think he is great on a mic too, him trashing AJ was great, I like his style. The only thing I don't like about Ziggles is Vicki.

I reallllllllly hope that that bit of dissension last night with Ziggles getting upset at her leads to him winning at TLC after a great match (hmm... give us the good stuff Cena), and her rushing to his side afterwards to share in the win and him saying "Yeah, no. Fuck off, it's MY time."

From today on WWE.com

WWE.com has learned WWE Champion CM Punk is currently undergoing surgery on his knee in Pensacola, Fla.

Last night, after Ryback drove him through a table, The Straight Edge Superstar took a late night flight to Florida for an emergency consultation with Dr. James Andrews. A review of his condition resulted in the WWE Champion’s immediate surgery today. (PHOTOS FROM RAW)

WWE.com will continue to report on Punk’s condition as more details become available.

This better be a work like John Cena's torn meniscus last week... he sure seems fine eh?

**Melena** · 2012-12-04 14:59

Well Cena doesn't need the ego rub. He's getting that from one of the Bella Twins (Nikki I believe) while Daniel Bryan is banging the other. And yes there has been plenty of Daniel Bryan NO jokes going around over this.

**Exoduso** · 2012-12-04 15:01

I doubt the Punk injury is a work. If you go back and look at last night's final segment, Punk kept playing with that knee and fixing up the kneepad even after the Shield interrupted.

I really hope he won't vacate the title because of this shit now. -_-

**Doombear** · 2012-12-04 15:04

Either way, this will fuck shit up just like Cena's injury did without a doubt. WWE simply doesn't have the creative talent to handle writing storylines when everyone is healthy, their track record lately clearly shows how well they do with last minute wrenchs tossed in. =( Upcoming Ziggler / Miz feud. Incoming Cena / Ryback snoozermatches. Get ready for Orton vs. Del Rio cake fights and Big Show vs Sheamus version 24.

**Kalmado** · 2012-12-04 15:12

That Ziggler video is amazing. I think I could like him more if Vicki wasn't around him. Seeing him, or anyone sell for Kofi irritates me. Maybe I'm a hater, but I really can't stand that guy. Every time he runs around the ring like a retard I pray someone jumps up and gives him a JBL'esque Clothesline from Hell.

Trigun · 2012-12-04 15:17

We could all write it better ourselves.

Realistically, Punk already has the longest reign so he can drop the title now (if he needs to heal up) and either get it back or drop it again at WM. Some variation of a match with either Cena and/or Rock vs Punk I'm ok with at WM.

Ziggler is definitely going over Cena at TLC I feel and could possibly cash it in MITB. #Shield

**Mjd** · 2012-12-04 16:08

@Graelinn I see it now, I usually scan his twitter for updates.

Remember the "Let's go Ziggler" chants and King saying "Listen to the fans cheer for Sheamus"? Kind of reminds me of what's happening atm, they're pushing Sheamus down our throats against Big Show, again, and we're not buying it.

Punk should come fight in TLC, win with help from the Shield...Leave and heal up, just vacate the title. Force McMahon to have a tourney. Have this go on for a month. Have shield members fighting in masks. Have the final be against two Shield members, one unmasks, it's Punk, grabs a mic and says "IT WAS ME ALL ALONG MCMAHON"

**NynJa** · 2012-12-04 16:33

Ah writing mishaps
"These three men, who we know to be Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, are known only as the shield"

If we know their identity, they're not known only as the shield lol. Just stupidities I find funny. And I still dont see any mention of punks surgery on my dirtsheets, so I dunno how severe it could be, doesnt sound like its major surgery though.

You mean Daniel Ambrooze? That is what Cole called him last night lol.

**dynamis** · 2012-12-04 23:22

Punk out of TLC. Ryback+ Team Hell No Vs. the Shield in a TLC match.

**Anoat** · 2012-12-04 23:43

These Shield guys are gonna have to keep dominating in the TLC build up and then win decisively at the PPV or they are gonna be instantly labeled as choke artists and nobodies and they will be killed right out of the gate. See Nexus at SummerSlam a couple years ago for the best example of that...
