punk BLU-RAY EH

 

it always bothered me that the documentry ends just before the whole SummerSlam match and Kevin Nash making him look like a bitch everytime they were in the ring together, his big angle leading to a penultimate HHH/Nash Match and his run as babyface champ playing 2nd fiddle to Cena's feud of the month and being an afterthought champion like he said he hated being on the blu-ray for months before finally turning heel....

might be timing but the special features include the daniel bryan title match that occurred months after SummerSlam

Basically anything that made Punk look bad visually was taken out per his request IMO.

Anything at the end of the S.E.S. run when he had his head shaved and wore a mask and the feud that spilled into fighting Big Show (WHO JOBS TO EVERYONE NOW)...

The Nexus abortion that elevated no one after the ONE supercool moment when Punk put on the armband...

The storyline of Jericho/Punk that went from who was really the "Best" to "CM Punk's Forced into Becoming an Alky... allegedly" back to the original plan when everyone found out how fucking stupid that turned out to be...

I could go on. :facepalm:

...I'm just happy that the Blu-Ray was basically a Best-Of with some neat tidbits thrown in there.

WWE TO PRODUCE PAUL HEYMAN DVD

By Mike Johnson on 2014-01-12 11:13:16

Jim Ross wrote the following on his website blog at [url]www.JRsBarBQ.com[/URL]:

"Been asked by WWE to be a part of the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD of which I’m anxious to participate. Once details are worked out we will schedule a time for me to head to WWE HQ and tell a few…dozen Heyman stories. I’m very honored to have been requested to be a part of this production as it was me who gave Paul his first broadcast gig and taught him the ropes as best that I could . Paul was so high strung and outspoken that many within WCW did not want to work with him but I saw talent in the abrasive albeit highly intelligent Jewish kid from Scarsdale, N.Y."

In asking around, I am told that WWE is already filming interviews and footage for the DVD, which will include a documentary and be released later this year. They were filming material in Philadelphia last week I am told.

Bought and Sold.

Can't wait to see Heyman's spin on things versus conflicting views (stuff like the ECW on TNN gig, booking Smackdown, booking ECW on SyFy, on getting all the talent that went on to become bigger names before anyone else...).

But does Vince limit what he can say......or the detail that he goes into. Seems to me he might edit out what makes his image look bad.

If Vince really gave a damn about his "competition" after buying up all the territories and rebranding any indie worker that he deemed worth a damn for a cup of coffee on his shows, he'd of silenced guys like Heyman years ago.

Instead, he buys them out and makes them work for him.

Who's really gonna believe the guys like Bischoff and Russo who go around espousing how shitty Vince is/was when they gladly took checks from the dude?

Anybody could side with guys like Heyman if he decides to go full-blown shoot mode but Vince is the one who gets to pocket most of the money from the Blu-Ray/Digital/DVD sales when this thing hits the market.

I choose to believe Ole Anderson just hates cameras

Jericho's return is being leaked by The Winnipeg Sun and also digital ads in Toronto. Also seeing that Hogan's deal is essentially wrapped up and he was almost announced at the network presser last week.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I wish Jericho would just stay away at this point.

Maybe if Mania goes to the network full time and the payoff structure changes dramatically, these leeches will stop coming back for Mania season and eating up spots on the card.

 

[SuperKevin]

So I just went by the local wrestling school and it looks like I'm about to sign up. $25 dollars a session or $200 a month and guys like Ricardo Rodriguez, Scott Hall, and Trent Baretta show up from time to time to help out.

Why? When they put him in there with talented performers, he delivers. He is better than all but maybe...10 guys on the roster...and more over than all but 5?

You waste him and put him in there with shit like Johnny Curtis, you get shit. He is there to put guys over and with the talent that is above a C- in the ring, he delivers.

Blame the talent that doesn't get over in the 320 days they have before Jericho shows up for guys like Jericho coming in and grabbing a pay day.

Because i'm bored of him. Had a sub par match with Punk two years ago and was downright bad at the end of his last run. I have no interest in seeing another Jericho match at this point.

I disagree about his Punk Mania match. I liked it quite a bit.

Jericho was hot when he first returned last year...good matches v. Punk, Bryan, and The Shield on RAW and eventually the Punk match at Payback and a real good run in the Rumble even had a good match with Bray fuckin Wyatt (might be Wyatts best match under the WWE umbrella)...then they put him in shit programs like with your boy Fandango and of course, it was shit, what do you expect when he is in there with guys who are subpar workers. He's a legend advancement talent. He should be in there with guys that can work.

We'll agree to disagree...I'll take Jericho back anytime...he just needs to be put with quality talent, not the dregs of the undercard. Jericho will come back, be mostly on RAW. Be hot upon his return. Then they'll switch him over the Smackdown and have him in feuds with Brodus Clay and Ryback and it'll be time to handwave him.

Best use of Jericho...gimme Jericho v. Cesaro in an undercard match at Mania.

Took WWE one commercial break to get the WWE Network plug in.
