I've been guilty of it myself in the past tbh. I don't mean like "shooting" on "management" or whatever in character but actual legitimate shoot TT's are so ridiculous and misplaced. The amount of times I've read a TT and I don't know if person X has a legitimate beef with the owner/writer/booker or if they just think they're cool cause CM PUNK DID IT AND SAID VINCE SHOULD DIE IRL is plenty.
The way I see the matches I've had with CM_Punk is that, from a booking standpoint, if I carry someone through to being a better trash talker then that's good for business-ahhhhhh. But seriously I can see why we've been underdogs each time but I can see why someone might make the call to have us go over. I just hope both CM_Punk and I end up as better TT'ers for the experience and have fun basically. At this stage of my fedding career, which sounds pretentious and dumb, I feel like I get as much of a kick out of getting people over as threats, helping people TT better and having storylines make sense than actually winning the "big one". I think all the vets have to think like that till we finish properly blooding the new guys. But I've just gone off on a tangent...everyone enjoy NoC tonight!
