Ed’s Perspective: Here We Go Again – Another Punk Pipebomb
Trevor has been all over the breaking news that it CM Punk will be in his hometown of Chicago tomorrow night for RAW. Here is the news: Breaking News: Respected News Source Reporting That CM Punk Will Be At RAW Tomorrow Night and here is Trevor’s prediction: CM Punk Return: Prepare For The Pipebomb.
This last second change comes after he earlier reported based on industry experts: CM Punk Not Expected At Monday’s Raw In His Hometown of Chicago and WWE Aware of Crowd Plans To Hijack This Monday’s Raw.
Each of those links comes from right here on DTRT Wrestling.com and I want to commend Trevor on the thoroughness of his coverage on this topic.
Now my perspective. I SMELL A GOOD OLD FASHIONED WORK has been cookin’ – and I for one am not a bit happy about it.
First of all, look at the Pipebomb of 2011 from Punk:
Now please, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy when a superstar gets the opportunity to blast on things that are on his mind. Hell, even Fox News covered that pipebomb in 2011. Punk said things that you or I might have been saying, but he had a nationally televised platform.
So why am I upset that we can expect another one tomorrow? Well, to me it appears to make Punk seem to be a cry baby and I don’t believe that he is. It appears that every time Punk doesn’t get his way, he walks out – Vince begs him to come back or stay and gives him an open mic as his reward.
Pipebomb 2011 had a purpose.
Pipebomb 2014 smells rotten to me. All the coverage over the last several weeks, and here it’s all going to be resolved just in time for Punk to make his triumphant return in of all places – his hometown of Chicago and shortly before Wrestlemania.
I know that works are a big part of this business, but I hate being made feel like I’m a big sucker – and if this really is a work then I think the WWE has disrespected us fans, manipulated all those people who paid good money for shows and missed seeing Punk for the last several weeks, and tried to make us look like stupid sheep.
And that’s the bottom line – cause …………
TNA Wrestlers Asked To Take Pay Cut
Prowrestling.net reports that some TNA wrestlers are being asked to take less money once their current contracts expire, as has been speculated for some time now. In other cases, there are talents who have time left on their deals who have been approached about restructuring their contracts for less pay, roughly half as much in some cases.
