Math was bad as well. Not because it ended with People's Elbow, it's a great move in Pw but match's booking was bad. It was boring and predictable.

Welcome to wrestling. Once you start getting a basic understanding of match building you can predict a lot.

He got the Vice in and the elbow drop. He got two finishers in so i am okay with it.

The People's elbow....weak? What planet are you from where it is considered a weak move?

A 260 pound man dropping his elbow on your chest at full force is far from being weak, if you want to get technical. Don't know what everyone's complaining about.

 

[Lady Deathbane]

Yeah, lol sucks to be me.

D'aww. Drink warm milk? :dawg:

 

[Stopspot]

well hogan had the leg drop. Punk could of at least kicjed out of the 2nd elbow and then lost that would of been better but whatever.

We'll get some good TV out of this. I see this setting up Punk to go on a massive heel tirade about getting "screwed". It can also kickstart his feud with Undertaker that is rumored or set him up for a 3 way at mania. Also the Shield can work off it.

So much for punk getting lifted in the rock bottom and time stopping for him. I guess the time must have stopped while he was watching rock jump over him and run to the other rope...

You must be new to wrestling.

People are getting emotional. Which is great! It means we are getting invested in the product.

As a Punk mark, I don't mind him losing to someone, but Not Cena/Dwayne types of people :/. Cena just gets a free ride because the kids like him, Rock just gets a title shot after being away for 10 years? Giving the belt to a part timer is a stupid Idea. I'd have much rather a better superstar took the belt from Punk than someone to who the WWE is an afterthought.

Compare it to the majority other moves which don't finish matches lol.

... granted, the predictability is what a lot of us are pissed about, but w/e. We're talking, and most of us don't wanna go to bed.

Yeah a feud with taker would be good. I have no problem with the outcome of the match as i am no punk fan but to have your title holder be the longest in the modern era and not manage to do his finisher in the match is bad booking.

Yeah, I don't understand giving the belt to a part timer. I think that Punk should have won and then maybe lost at Elimination Chamber. It will really make people mad to see The Rock leave the chamber still champ.

Cena gets his shots because he makes people watch the show. He is the cash cow. He gets people interested. Same with Rock.

Who else is there if not Cena or Rock? Lol
Should he hold it another 100 days until a new ''star'' is finally ready to take on that role (like say a Ryback)?
Or maybe Orton who's been irrelevant for who knows how long?
Or what about Sheamus?

Good God don't even mention Sheamus's name in the same sentence as Orton. Orton needs to win though very soon, and become a heel.
