No way that happens.

I would say it is way more likely for a Punk and Austin match at Mania.

Gotta agree. That streak isn't going down. They made a damn DVD centered around it. Punk v Austin at WM would be gold. Imagine the buildup!

Is it safe to say that in the soap opera that was Chris Candido and Sunny, that Candido got the good end of that deal?

This should not shock anyone, as WWE Writers are having a hard time coming up with a finish for CM Punk vs. Ryback at WWE Hell in a Cell. WWE officials, including Vince McMahon himself, are very high on Ryback, and do not want him losing clean at the Pay Per View. They also have talked about keeping the WWE Championship on CM Punk's waist until Royal Rumble, where The Rock will battle for the gold.

The end of the event will most likely be this match, but they do not want to end the Pay Per View with a Disqualification or screw job, as it will take away from both men. Furthermore, officials do not want to end the show with Sheamus vs. Big Show, as it is not as big of a draw.

One idea being heavily discussed is Brock Lesnar coming out and costing Ryback the match. This would cause some problems for the WWE, including another wasted date and Triple H's revenge on Lesnar being put on hold. Either way, WWE will most likely have to come up with multiple ideas in the next week to decide on which route to take

This shirt is now at Barbershopwindow.com. I almost feel like I have to buy it. I've seen around 4-5 shirts that I would like to buy from there but for some reason I just won't pull the trigger on it.

Chris Jericho Says CM Punk Has Gone As Far He's Going To Go, Feels Ryback Should Beat Him

By Daniel Pena Oct 23, 2012 - 1:32:07 PM

Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho appeared on Busted Open with Dave LaGreca and Mike Riker, where he addressed CM Punk's WWE Championship defense against Ryback at Hell in a Cell. The program airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on Sirius 92 and XM 208 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

Why he thinks Ryback should win on Sunday: "I don’t know anything and I don’t work for the WWE. I haven’t talked to Vince in about a month. But I personally think and this is something that obviously Busted Open Radio has very hardcore wrestling fans who are listening as we all are. The number one thing people bitch about is that there is nothing new and it’s the same old same old with John Cena. This is the chance to create a new guy. This is the chance to make a new star instantly, and I know tradition says you must build a star. There is no tradition in a case like this. The comparisons are to Goldberg. Most of the fans in this day and age have no idea who Goldberg is and don’t care. We do, but in the year 2012 Goldberg was over ten years ago. How did Goldberg get over? …. By beating everybody. There was no loss for Goldberg. As soon as he did lose, that’s when things started going downhill for him. Ryback is not a normal guy. This is not a guy that we see that builds his way to the top and fans get behind him slowly but surely. You want to pick a new guy? Have him beat CM Punk this week. Who gives a sh** about Punk’s title reign? It means nothing. Here is a chance to take a guy who people are getting behind. If he beats Punk at Hell in A Cell and after three hundred and thirty seven days or whatever and Punk is finally beaten, people are going to start to take notice of this guy. Those who don’t watch Raw are going to tune in to see what’s going on. Ryback beats everybody. Ryback faces Rock at Royal Rumble. What happens if a couple of weeks before that something goes on with Ryback and Undertaker got involved in the Rock match? What if Rock wins the title and goes on to face Cena we expected and what if its Ryback vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania? What if Ryback beats Undertaker at Wrestlemania? You have a new star for the next ten years to headline pay-per views and main events."

Has CM Punk gone as far as he can go as a character?: "He has gone as far as he can go. The Rock is the Rock. He comes from a different era. Undertaker, Steve Austin, that comes from a different era. Nobody will ever be a bigger star than those guys, because people in their heads...It’s like the old Batman TV show when we were kids. We thought it was the greatest show ever. You watch it back now and it sucks. But it has a certain place in your head that it will never be replaced. The band KISS in 1978 if you’re old enough to remember was thought of as the greatest band ever, even if they weren’t. Rock is a guy unto his own. Punk is as big of a star as he can be as a heel in WWE. Beating Ryback doesn’t make him a bigger star. It doesn’t."

Can the injury to John Cena be a blessing in disguise?: "It is a blessing in disguise. The biggest breaks I ever got in this business was when someone got hurt, or when someone went to make a movie. I won the undisputed championship because Triple H was hurt and Rock was leaving. Cena got hurt. What do we do? One thing about Vince McMahon is his motto is to take a negative and turn it into a positive. Vince knows how rare it is for someone to get over so quickly. Vince knows Ryback is not a money making star right now. But if he goes into Hell In A Cell and he destroys Punk and beats him, a hundred percent those fans are going to go bananas for Ryback. You have created a new star. Punk can come back the next night and bitch and complain and do what a heel does. Heels aren’t built to win. Heels are built to lose. That’s what heels do. The fact that Punk has held the title for three hundred and thirty seven days, it might mean something to you guys. I can tell you Punk doesn’t care. Punk wants to make money and if that means Punk and Ryback becomes the hottest feud and suddenly something happens where it goes to Ryback and Rock, that’s a match where suddenly you made a new guy. I would love to see Punk and Rock and I’m sure Punk would be disappointed if it didn’t work out. But this is business. If you have a chance to build someone that can put a company on his back, then you do it. The stop and start pushes that the WWE has been doing and infamous for the last ten years has got to stop and this is the perfect time for it."

Does he think the WWE will pull the trigger and have Ryback become champion?: "I do because of the reasons I’ve talked about. I’m not saying I know anything. I could be completely wrong. Maybe there would be a scenario where they can protect Ryback and still have Punk as champ. But for me what I like as a wrestling fan, when I was a kid, what I like as wrestling fan now even after doing it for 22 years is the element of surprise. I hate the same old same old. I worked in WCW for three years when guys were passed over. As hard as it is to believe at this point, Eddie Guerrero was the top heel in the company at certain points, but they never let him beat anybody. Billy Kidman was super popular. Probably one of the top two or three babyfaces in the company at certain points, but they never pushed him over the edge. There are guys for whatever reason, get over, even when they are not supposed to get over. If you take advantage of that and push it over the cliff, people will get behind it especially a guy like Ryback because we haven’t seen anyone like that in a long time. We haven’t seen a powerhouse come in and annihilate people. The last time might have been Batista but Ryback is more Neanderthal, more animalistic, more a beast. Batista is very well spoken. Ryback does remind me of Goldberg and like I said it’s not a copy of Goldberg. It’s like saying Jericho is a copy of Shawn Michaels. There are elements and lots of similarities but it’s a different guy and nobody has seen a guy like this in a long, long time. So I think if they do pull the trigger that it will work huge and it will create a superstar instantly. Someone that will be a money drawer, someone that people will tune in who are not watching now to see."

Question: How "over" is CM Punk in the WWE? Do people even care anymore? Did they ever care? When I flip on RAW and just kinda shrug my shoulders. My friends that follow the indie scene like him and stuff, but, does anyone in the mainstream even care?

From July of last year, he was the most over guy on the roster other than Cena. Now he's the top heel in the company.

So yes.

_________________

When I read blurbs from Jericho's interview, I had a much different reaction. Reading this in context, I think I agree with him. There are many scenarios that could make WM next year absolutely huge. Originally, I thought Punk losing would hurt. Jericho makes a point.

_________________

I kind of agree with him too, as much as I loathe the idea of Ryback going over on Sunday.

CM and I are Lockport chums!

But I don't appreciate your .gif. How about I douse you with gasoline and light you on fire?

_________________

Oh, I completely agree I'd rather take SomeGuy's option of lighting me on fire. However, business wise, it does make sense. I'm still wrapping my head around it. Here are the participants for WM29 currently, and potential. If I forget people, I don't care right now.

Punk as champion for over 1 1/2 years
Punk losing to Ryback
Punk losing to Rock at Rumble
Rock winning title at Rumble
Rock not winning title at Rumble
HHH AHHHHHHHH
Brock interfering and costing Ryback
Brock
Cena costing Rock something
Cena on his own
Undertaker winning Rumble
Undertaker
Undertaker Streak v Punk 1 1/2 Year Title Reign
Austin v Punk
Jericho v Bon Jovi
Brock v Taker
Ryback v Taker
Etc

Don't look now, but they've developed multiple huge matches. Ryback defeating Punk wouldn't kill everything.

The train is loud, the drunks out front are louder. My only complaint is that I wish some of the second hand smoke coming in my window was weed.

I can tell who is bartending by how loud the jukebox is.

I moved into to lovely Lockport last November or so and I've already tied too many off at Stella's.

I like that place. I wish those other two bars didn't burn down.

Jackie's is back open in the building next store to where it originally was. Dreams was meh at best. Carter's Place closed because the building owner didn't want the bar in there anymore. It was great to live music staggering distance away. The wine bar on the corner is not my thing and usually have a solo guy on acoustic.

In an effort to avoid full thread derailment, there is no way CM Punk loses clean at HIAC.

You need shock therapy....more voltage than Abdullah the Butcher got in the steel cage on that crazy night in WCW.

Good job on the gifs, guys.

I think it's the shock therapy that made him like this. My suck factor is rising well enough by myself.

Listening to the Law SUnday, the thought if this weeks Raw rating was low, that Ryback would win the belt, it was pretty low, so does it cost Punk the belt.

I have put before, I would keep Punk the champ until RUmble to lose to the Rock, so if they want to go big and heard this thought, have Lesnar come back and cost Ryback the match, to setup a tag match between Punk-Lesnar vs Cena-Ryback at Survivor Series.

CM Punk @CMPunk 7h

So I'm riding down Southwest highway headed to Halloween fun and I spot a kid wearing an ugly bright yellow t-shirt. Turns out its my new shirt, so I decide to scare/make his day. I whip around and talk for a bit and take a pic with him because any kid with the balls to wear a wrestling shirt to school deserves special treatment. Represent! Where you at Eric? #punktober

Arda Ocal @arda_ocal 1h

Pretty cool story, @CMPunk stopping to make @yo0itsericdo3's day after he saw him wearing his shirt. Check his profile for pic. #RandomWin
