Whenever people are suprised that Kurt Angle or Randy Savage are mentioned by the WWE.
It's a common thing.

And for the record, when they signed Punk people on here hyped him up to the point where I expected him to shoot lasers from his eyes during every match. Ah, now that might explain why I don't remember it because he had already been signed for a month or so when I joined the forum. I guess most of the initial hype had already died down by then. Still, at the moment he mostly seems to be liked as a good solid wrestler, which is the way it probably should have been all along as Punk was never one of the flashier indy guys, judging from the few ROH and IWA matches I saw from him years ago. Anyway, I promise this is the last CM Punk related post from me in this thread, as I got the info I wanted and don't wish to turn it into a bigger debate about him. Peace out.

Normally, I wouldn't even contribute to something like this, because it's the closest that WC comes to a "Flame thread", but there are three that bug the ever loving crap out of me....
"If Sid Vicious came back tonight, everyone would care about him and know exactly who he was, even though he hasn't been on tv since 2001, and hasn't been a big name since 1992."
"Santino=God" "Comedic heels=bad for the business".
If someone can explain that last little paradox to me, I'd be eternally grateful.

Any show that has been taped in advance is nothing but canned crowd reactions, along with CGI crowd movement and every move that was botched was also edited to look good. This is because they have all visited the editing facilities in Stamford and have watched people do this. And for the record, when they signed Punk people on here hyped him up to the point where I expected him to shoot lasers from his eyes during every match. and now Mr. Powers you will meet your demise at the hands of CM Punk with a laser beam attached to his head. 'ahem' Dr. Evil, all we couldn't get CM Punk with a laser beam on his head, all we could get was Outlaw Ron Bass Rrrrrrrrrrright. He is a mutated Outlaw Ron Bass Really? Is he illtempered enough to shoot on someone? Absolutely. ... it's a start. Sorry, that just popped in my head, carry on with IWCliches.

- Anything that occurred in wrestling prior to the year I personally began watching it = slow and boring
- The other posters on this board will be interested in participating in my poll in which I have one "real" answer and the rest are unfunny jokes
- If you use a rest hold at any point in your match, you are a poor wrestler
- This year, the Hall of Fame should induct 104 wrestlers, including all of my personal favorites
- If someone dies, they should at least be considered for the Hall of Fame
- The Hall of Fame is somehow legitimate and objective
- The latest Smackdown vs. Raw sucks, the roster should have included [insert 5 wrestlers who don't get much TV time], its AI is retarded, its career mode is ridiculous, etc.
- Paul London has no detectable flaws
- Mick Foley should be looked upon with rage and disgust for promoting his books on television
- The Japanese wrestlers I'm talking about are household names, and I assume everyone will recognize them, even though this is the WWE Current board
- Wrestler deaths are somehow tied to it being a particularly bad calendar year

"If Sid Vicious came back tonight, everyone would care about him and know exactly who he was, even though he hasn't been on tv since 2001, and hasn't been a big name since 1992." Good Lord, I hear ya 100% of the way. How anyone thinks that Sid would be a) mobile enough to actively compete, b) over with new fans or c) a big enough name to connect with the older fans is absolutely mind-boggling to me. I don't get the forums sudden infatuation with all things Sid. The guy was an immobile wreck in the ring who couldn't cut a promo to save his life. And that was in 1996. Imagine what a decades' worth of time has only done to him.

ROH is the Best company EVER. Any wrestler that comes out of ROH is going to be one of the best wrestlers ever.
If you do not Like ROH you are not a real fan.
Same goes for CHIKARA and any Indy fed.
Hosses are the the worst thing ever.
Paul Heyman is the smartest man ever in the hostory of wrestling. Anything he did was pure gold.
ECW is the best federation ever.
WWE sucks. They do not allow a 450 Splash or a shooting star press.

I am saying this because it happens to be true, not because it's some kind of "IWC fad" to do so.

If an IWC favorite (aka non-hoss) can't get over, it's the WWE's fault for not pushing him correctly.
If an IWC hated wrestler (aka hoss) can't get over, it's because that wrestler sucks in the ring/mic/etc.
