Promos that contain the words "my ring" just make me want to change the channel.

That's right up there with pointing at the Wrestlemania sign in terms of overused lame schtick nonsense.

If that ia unpopular we have stupid fans


Prior Exception: Vince McMahon is cutting the promos

Current exception is some corporate dork who we don’t know

CM Punk is the most over rated wrestler all my lifetime.

Definitely cliche, but I don't think it's going away anytime soon. LOL

It looks like Phil is in your head. I don't get how you can call the guy overrated, he's a main event draw, and an organic one at that. The only reason not respect him is because you've got some issues. You don't have to love the guy, but he's gotten over on his own, not because Vince/HHH elevated him with some series of wins and heavy promotional work. The guy was gone for nearly a decade and people were still chanting his name in WWE promos.

You might not like it, but he's over, and he draws money. There's nothing overrated about that.

Whatever you may think about CM Punk, the guy gets the audience to invest.

It's like the other show. Personally, I get nothing out of the Timeless Toni Storm gimmick. But it gets people to invest so I can't sit there and say the gimmick is bad or anything just because I don't find it interesting. If enough people do, then it's working, despite the fact it's not working for me.

People are dumb gullible and fickle though


Toni storm one I find humorous, it’s fun and creative and different than anything else we’ve seen


Stupid shit like Becky Lynch calling herself a man and Bianca’s crack addict gimmick just shows why main stream society makes fun of wrestling fans for having bad taste

The fickleness certainly fits in the IWC.

The same people they want pushed to the moon today are the people they complain are getting pushed too much tomorrow.

The problem is they overbook them

Banana nose reign of terror

Rhea (while deserved) and Bianca (absolutely not) make everyone look god awful while doing it

Cause there isn’t a single thing he does well outside of being average on the mic. He came along when WWE was way too PG so his dumb gimmick worked. His “pipe bomb” was the quality of a mid tier wrestler in the attitude era. Props to him for creating a cult like following but that is all he has.

If he’s average on the mic who do you consider good now?

I’m legit curious

The butt hurt is palpable in you.

You can like him or hate him, but Punk is one of the GOAT on the mic.. with Cena, the Rock, Paul Heyman, etc.

Calling him “average” just exposes your bias

Butt hurt? Nah, he’s just overrated. Without his cult following what stands out exactly?

Nothing in his pipebomb was original at all. DX was doing the same thing with Vince, WCW guys did that with Hogan, TNA did it with all the former WCW guys. But because the business was boring some Indy guy coming in with no talent in the ring saying it stuck.

As for better, I’m not sure exactly of all the guys but objectively he is the worst on the mic out of the 4 dudes in his storyline

Sure but Cody lying his ass off gets better reactions that the crickets Punk gets when he keeps making his AEW references.

No talent in the ring? Are you under the impression wrestling is real?

How do? Punk referencing AEW and it going over the heads of fans doesn’t make the fans low IQ. In fact I’d argue it’s high IQ cause they don’t care about AEW
