If they can get Kurt Angle back in the WWE before Wrestlemania and put him in a technical match with Punk or Bryan (or better yet, make him the leader of The Real Americans), I would jizz my pants.

Now this is creative writing, and great use of talent.

I don't agree with the "WWE will punish Angle" comment in this thread. Warrior did all kinds of wicked stuff during his run in the WWE. They brought him back and had him squash Triple H. Nash and Hogan were given multiple chances in the WWE after their releases. Bret Hart literally spit in Vince's face and they let him come back and beat Vince at Wrestlemania. Hell, the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn were in TNA bashing Vincent K. McMahon and the WWE and they came right back as the WWE tag team champions of the world.

Vince has been able to put things to the side and do what's "Best for business". He probably makes them kiss his ass behind the scenes, though.

Eh,  Nash and the Outlaws I think have the advantage of knowing the Boss's son.

Meanwhile Hogan is the Micky Mouse of wrestling....

and warrior... Warrior had a chance of overtaking hogan at one point.

 

Bret Hart is a good point... hell he even punced Vince behind the scenes before... but personally I think even Vince knew the montreal screwjob was... well a screwjob.

Supposedly, could have been brovado on Vince's part, but Vince said to Shawn Michaels before Bret walked in that he knew Bret was gonna hit him and he was gonna let him do it.  Vince has this weird guilt issue.

Why would they turn on him? They're all smart enough to know it wasn't his fault. 



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

I hope so.  Bryan is just in the middle of a lot of things simply because people like him and the WWE don't know how to react properly. 

Just a few posts ago, I was so excited about subscribing to the WWE Network and watching Wrestlemania.  Now, I'm getting less and less excited.  It will likely be the most viewed Mania ever due to the $9.99 subscription price but it definitely won't deserve the honor unless WWE does something major in the next couple of months.  Monday Night Raw didn't exactly instill me with confidence.

NoDQ.com > WWE > Backstage Update on CM Punk's WWE Status
Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/29/2014 at 09:29 AM

As noted, CM Punk has been removed from WWE events going forward after reportedly informing Vince McMahon at Monday's RAW that he was going home. Punk reportedly told Vince and other WWE officials this in a meeting before the show went on the air.

While Punk vs. Triple H was planned for WrestleMania XXX, word now is that Triple H will be facing Daniel Bryan in New Orleans this April.

While Punk is under contract through July, he is no longer factored into company plans. According to one source, the original script for Monday's RAW had Punk losing to Antonio Cesaro after Kane interfered, allowing Cesaro to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. Another source denies that and says Punk was never scheduled to wrestle Monday night and was only scheduled for an in-ring promo at Kane. Punk was not backstage during RAW and was not at SmackDown last night. It's believed that the late RAW re-write at 6pm on Monday was because Punk had just informed officials he was going home and wouldn't be back.

Punk leaving is being described as a situation where he's unhappy and burnt out with the overall direction of the company. There's also a feeling among wrestlers that Punk has saved his money and just doesn't need it any more, even the big WrestleMania payday that was coming up.

Following the Royal Rumble on Sunday, Punk's mood was described as "pissy" but that's not an unusual description of Punk's demeanor backstage. One source believed that since Punk's last goal was to work a WrestleMania main event, it may be a situation where he realized it wasn't going to happen this year and with his WWE deal expiring in July, that may have weighed down upon him because he was so goal driven and this was one he couldn't accomplish because of elements that were outside of his control.

Punk wrote the following on Twitter Monday:

"Thanks for all the support. Keep being you guys, it's pretty cool."

I mean, I know he doesn't NEED the wrestlemania payout. But I can't see not taking it anyway.

I'm hoping this is just another fake shoot.
