    But it would be interesting ... and with Hogan gone from TNA, if there was a time for Punk to take over TNA, maybe it's now.

      And instead of using the short-termers to enhance the younger guys, the WWE feeds them to the top guys, to create what they believe are marquee matchups, sacrificing the advancement of the next-level stars in the process. It’s like cutting off your leg because you want to change your sock.

        Corey Graves vs Camacho on NXT this week was one of the biggest pieces of shit i've ever seen.

        Graves used a side head lock for like 40 seconds (which is forever in real time), they did one sloppy transition, and then he used his leglock finisher. Match was around 1:00.

        Graves is such shit.

            My guess is she's about to be history, too. AJ Lee fits those shorts perfectly, but she's not good enough to escape the "future endeavors" thing here too.

              Why would they fire her?

                Dropping kayfabe on Twitter and, let's be honest, no one actually cares about the Diva's title. If AJ disappeared tomorrow, no one (other than hardcore fans) would care. Same reason why CM Punk being gone only registers on hardcore fans' radar.

                  They won't fire AJ, she is the only woman in that company who can draw a dime.

                    I can see why CM Punk would leave. The guy was the longest reigning champion from Nov 2011 till Jan 2013, had his one rematch at Elimination Chamber, and hasn't had a title shot since. How do you go from being the longest reigning champion to nothing in the last year?

                    If anything DB should have been fighting HHH all this time, as a kind of 'getting back for screwing me so many times'. Instead it was Punk slated to, which really made no sense, since from Summerslam to Battleground or whatever, Punk was dealing with Heyman still and Wyatt. Then all of a sudden, Shield attack and it all changes.

                    This seemed like the easiest booking in the world for WM, but they fucked it up.
                    All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

                    "rammer" and "cummings"

                    The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.

                      You are a fucking moron. Punk is probably the 3rd highest guy in the company right now behind Cena and Bryan. I'm not a hardcore guy at all and this is registering huge on my radar because he is one of the main reasons I started watching wrestling again.

                        They continually ignore Daniel Bryan's ability to draw money ... what makes AJ Lee that special?

                          Again, why would they fire her? One tweet that wasn't even anything all that bad?

                          And you are way off on Punk. Him quitting is a big deal among more than just harcores. He's at worst the #3 babyface and one of the half dozen or so top stars with Cena, Bryan, Batista, Orton. He also sells more merch than anybody aside from Cena. It's a big loss for the company.

                            I am not dismissing Punk .... but they seem to think they can just let him go and get away with it. Hell, his stupid RR elimination seemed to be completely dismissed.

                              They didn't let him go, he quit.

                                Can they still sell Punk merch Warner? And if so does Punk see any of the money.
