CM Punk stealing all of KENTAs moves

[terriblerhino]

I can understand taking one move or something.... .Seriously, no big thing

But stealing KENTAs combo move for move and then using the GTS......

Has anyone else ever done this? Blatantly stealing a ton of moves from one solitary wrestler?

It just seems strange..... Doing the GTS is one thing.... stealing his combo is just strange

Is it just the GTS and combo punches? Maybe Im just looking at this too much.

[dsriggs]

So?? KENTA's been stealing Hackenschmidt's moves for YEARS!!! Bastard...

[G2]

He who shall not be named stole Dynamite Kids moveset.

It happens in all forms of entertainment, it's just "borrowing". lol

As much as I agree and blindly dislike Punk....

...is anyone but me gonna start hating on Burke for stealing Jericho's "Paragon of Virtue" and Scott Hall's entrance walk?

Oh yeahhhhhhh

totally forgot about Chris Ben......Lord Volder..... I mean, he who must not be named stealing Dynamites moves

At least he who must not be named said he worshiped Dynamite

Have not heard CM Punk worshiping KENTA

Yeah, thats just the thing...

Rock started doing the Sharpshooter, but it made sense cause he did it while he was feuding with You-Know-Who, who picked it up from Bret in WCW.

Vince started doing the Stunner to mock Austin.

There's no Punk/KENTA connection THAT I KNOW OF.....but then again, I'd be perfectly happy if Joey or Tazz would just be like "Shades of KENTA!" or something like that when Punk does the move, just to credit a guy that 99% of the WWE audience has never heard of. ;D

Thats the thing, we've not heard it but maybe he is a fan.

Also I don't think wrestling moves are copyrighted (The names are but y'know what I mean). |We could spend days on moves ripped off from others.

How 'bout HHH - Harley Race?
he even took the facial hair! Dastardly!

[terriblerhino]

Usually they just steal one move

If Rock started doing the sharpshooter, figure four on the ringpost, elbow from 2nd rope, spot where Bret hits his chest when running into the ropes, russian leg sweep, and an atomic drop all in one match then I would see him really ripping him off

But its so blatant with CM Punk.... In every match....

Has CM Punk really stolen more then the combo punches and the GTS though?

Well to be fair, JR has made HHH/Race comparisons on the mic before, especially comparing Hunter's kneedrop, I believe, to Race's, and his overall mentality.

Yeah, the Terry Funk "put the ladder over my head and spin with it" spot. But now I'm just reaching, cause I really hate Punk.

And race trained HHH so I guess you caould justify it as an homage to his tutor.

Look, if Punk didn't respect KENTA, what would be his motivation to keep calling it the Go 2 Sleep? The average mark doesn't know who KENTA is.

If anything, Punk has just incresed KENTA's value and recognition. People will look up the Go 2 Sleep and learn.

Everyone steals from everybody in wrestling. At least Punk doesn't pass it off as his.

DDP stole Foley's kick-reversed-into-spinning-clothesline, as Foley tells in his story. They're friends, so it's sort of an in-joke.

I can't really agree with that, why would they look it up when as far as they know, Punk's the only one thats ever done it so he probably just made it up?

And, hell, I have no respect for Billy Kidman, but if I could do a SSP I would.......

There is a difference is doing more than 10 years after the guy when's already a legend but Punk is using KENTA's stuff right now while KENTA is young at this time. What if KENTA ever goes to WWE or TNA? All his stuff has been done. I personally don't think it would affect him cause he's so good.

I don't think Punk's stealing his whole moveset and KENTA didnt invent the combo that ends in the spinning backhand, its been around for years. I'd say 1, 2 moves tops he's stolen outright, the rest are used by others too. I'm a big KENTA mark (NOAH mark in general actually) but it doesn't bother me at all.

The only way KENTA will end up in WWE is if the reform Kaientai or Jimmy Wang Yang starts a cowboy posse.

Until Punk does a Busaiku Knee Kick, I think we can all shut up.
