@BackupHangman Punk's story theme seems to be "let downs". Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
From a Punk fan's perspective, it's akin to Bryan not getting in the match at 30. Kofi & Becky not getting their Mania match. Cody losing again at 40.
As a Punk fan, what keeps you motivated?
@frankkydo @BackupHangman So they're just gonna do the same thing they did last year? Tag for Night 1, then solo Night 2? That'd feel a bit lazy story telling wise, no?
@SeanRossSapp Thanks for the answer. Been watching for 27 years. This will be the 1st Mania I attend in person. Was really hoping to see Punk get his big moment, as it's my "Finish the Story" I've long been invested in. Really bummed as a Punk fan. Him, Cena, and Cody have magic together.
@i_hat3_sand_@wrasslindesigns@BackupHangman Tell that to Sami, Kevin, Stone Cold for his last match, The Rock last year, Seth, Bianca, and Sasha...
It's a legit main event.
@DonTonyD I think the transgender pool is too small %, so I can't imagine a division would even be there to accommodate that. And several countries don't even allow it. That's what makes it such a difficult grey area topic. But I understand the point you are making.
@DonTonyD Been following you for about 13 years now DT. That's why I put at the very start of my post "not saying you're suggesting otherwise". I know how you operate, so I knew better than to jump to the conclusion. I'd suggest you do the same and don't twist mine.❤️All the best
@Joe_Baer_74@HeyHeyItsConrad Clearly the formula for the show these days. I get that. Purely $ driven. But there's more to life than $, too. Dignity, respect... not tearing down others from afar w/ clear bias and skewed takes, laced with cheap insults. Cornette light. Used to be BETTER THAN this style.
@TheRev_TommyDee @mattkoonmusic Eh. He's a 3 time IC champ already. That's not proving anything for him. It's not forward advancement.
Also, I don't think he said he's not World Champ material. I believe he said he's not Face of the WWE material. He's more like a Foley or Bryan. He's good for a short run.
@JonAlba I appreciate you pushing back on the story front with Eric. Conrad did somewhat as well, on the very same topic. Eric admits he doesn't watch the show often, yet says there aren't stories, or says they're bad. Feels hypocritical with how he criticizes Meltzer's shoddy reporting.
@KaiInRealLife Always baffles me when "fans" of superheroes are ironically the antithesis of what said heroes stand for. Like that video of a woman wearing a Batman hoodie hiring a Hitman to kill her husband. Or that person wearing a Cap. America hoodie while storming the capital.
I typically refrain from responding to toxic, false clickbait garbage like this because I hate dignifying bullshit with a response, but when you use Hawaii’s tragic events to draw attention to yourself I won’t stay quiet.
This moment you’re referring to is from our @WWE press conference this past Thursday where I turned “heel” - wrestling parlance for bad guy. I’m playing it up with our crowd as they boo. It’s what we do in our WWE universe, and we all love every second of it.
For the record:
Our People’s Fund of Maui has already DELIVERED over $50 MILLION DOLLARS to over 8,000 survivors who were affected by the fires, and I’m grateful to the bone that we’ve been the primary funders.
Hawaii is where I grew up, where I raise my children throughout the year and where my ancestors are buried. These are my Polynesian people and these are OUR American people. You can’t imagine how much they are still struggling daily to put their lives back together and take care of each other. Our Poly American people are as resilient as people come, and they will raise and get back on their feet.
Nick, instead of posting bullshit like this that you know is false - I encourage you to post something positive for Hawaii, for our Polynesian American people. Or actually take positive action and come to Hawaii to help out in an uplifting way.
I’m in Hawaii now, and I guarantee you, you’ll get great content that can actually make a difference in people’s lives.
Genuinely.
Let’s put our energy and our online platforms into lifting people up. Acknowledging the good things that people do. Raising awareness for the suffering in ways that can effectively help. It takes so much effort to be negative, and create and spread bullshit - but when you spread positivity, kindness, and lead by example you can really impact lives.
I’m sorry to all our Poly/Hawaiian ohana of Maui, for shining light on this toxicity as you struggle through tough times - I always try to be Na’au Pono.
Love U.
Aloha,
DJ
