Whole press conference is up here:

Not sure if they've done any editing work on it. Cena followed by The Rock gets under way at 59:00.

Thanks KK, shall watch some of this in bed or I could always just skip to 59 mins in....

[Corazon de Leon]

That's just two and a half minutes of Austin swearing and insulting the camera.


Just like the good old days.

CM Punk seems very leashed. He has forgotten what his character used to be.

Listening to the Figure Four Daily phone in show, some guy just playing Brodus Clay's theme down the phone at Alvarez.

CM Punk seems very leashed. He has forgotten what his character used to be.

I actually agree with you here. But he's a face now and the majority of faces are like that these days (i've always preffered heels to faces ). When his big push/promo happened last year he was more of a heel back then (even hating on the crowd alot) and had that feel of someone that just did what they wanted and said what they wanted and didn't give a gooseberry fool. I think he'll revert back to that sort of character if and when he turns heel again.

He couldn't even take his shirt off at that press conference.

He'll never go back to that. He's a company guy now. Just another in the long line of hypocrites who tow the line as soon as big bucks come along.

I'd say that's not as bad as the number suggests. All the segments that should gain viewers, did. Punk/Jericho could have used a brawl or at least had Jericho in the building.

Also, thinking I might bring back GRWF in some small way. Probably a tournament thing. No idea when I'd do it though

[Mockmaster]

Heya chaps.

Really could do with wrestling versions of the following smileys:









Still, images, not GIFS

[Skippy]

Yeah, definitely. I'm just collating everything together then I'll fire it off to KKLEIN to put in there once it's all amassed.

[Drumstick]

QFNP.

Totally no idea.
