How do you promo this guy when he just flips shit on you constantly, even when it doesn’t make sense?

What is the kayfabe reason why Punk was mad that Kevin doesn't have a hot body? Why would he care whether or not that made him more successful? This is why shoot angles ruin wrestling, none of this stuff matters in the context of a wrestling show. CM Punk's favorite wrestler is Harley Race and that guy looked like shit his whole career.

HE'S FAT

No im saying your description of KO reminds me of how the anti-fed spammer argues

Just laugh at him and call him fat and make fun of him for wrestling in a tshirt

>You shouldn't wrestle in a T-shirt because you just shouldn't, okay?
Why would this bother Punk? Why would this bothering Punk bother Kevin? What happens when Kevin shows up thirty pounds lighter to wrestle Punk?
>>
>>21009348
Bothers Punk because you’re not respecting the business and the others in the locker room, show some respect and dress professionally

Bothers Kevin because he took the wrong lesson and was a pussy about it

KO can be 180 and Punk at 205 because weight doesn’t matter, it’s muscle that matters

Is this "professional" enough for you, Phil? Why did he want to see Kevin's tits and gut so bad? So he could mock him even more? I don't get it. Maybe he is gay. Phil is faggot, maybe.

Nigga, it's wrestling. He's not going to work at a firm.

Mankind was a gimmick, meant to look like a crazy person. Nice try, but not a good example

>>21009468
Boots and trunks or tights. That’s all it is. When you come out to the ring looking like you’re coming from your couch or from WalMart, you look like shit.

Why do people in the UFC or Boxing or any professional sport wear a specific attire? Why doesn’t Conor McGregor just come out wearing sweats and a loose tank top?
>>
Yeah this is a weird feud.

You’ve got two babyfaces.

One babyface is intentionally acting like a prick, but he’s perma-over so fans aren’t going to boo him. Punk can bully KO into oblivion and cross whatever line he wants without any negative consequences.

The other babyface is trying to play the role of the spurned overlooked disrespected underdog, but in these first two promos, KO has not been very good. His delivery has been shaky and he sounds like he knows Punk is better than him on the mic. (The most compelling part of last night’s rap battle was when he finally screamed LOOK AT ME WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU.) Other than that, though, pretty lackluster.

So…the returning underdog who we *should* be rooting for can’t deliver the lines well enough to generate the pops, and the prick we *should* be booing because he’s acting like a jackass has reached unbooable status. So that’s a weird dynamic on its own.

Then you factor in the content of WHAT they’re bickering over, and it’s silly semi-shoot angles from 20 years ago which sound really petty by today’s standards of tubby shitters wrestling with shirts on and make Punk sound like the reasonable one when he says, “Really? That’s what’s still bothering you?” And again, because KO hasn’t been great on the mic, he didn’t go a great job of conveying WHY that still bothered him. He just comes off like a petty grudge holder who can’t move on from that time he was bullied 20 years ago.

And then, as was mentioned, because it’s semi-shoot, it has no kayfabe connection to any other story or character arc currently happening.

It *could* work if KO was better at selling it on the mic, with better examples of *how* Phil is still a fraud and how KO’s lack of rose colored glasses allows him to uniquely see through Punk’s facade that he’s fooled the fans and company with.

But the match is next week, so the promos are done. Oh well.

>show some respect and dress professionally
Punk was notorious for not doing this in the past. It's only on his second run with the company that he started doing this.
>>
>>21009480
Kevin Owens first titantron was him acting like a maniac and pounding his head against a wall. All of the merch has been made to look handmade and forcing himself into crudely made parodies. You don't think he has a gimmick or what?
>>
>>21009480
It's a really stupid fucking thing to get angry about. Look at that fat retard from NXT. He should take a note from KO. No one wants to look at that and he probably wouldn't be laughed at if every single roll of fat wasn't hanging out of his units. Phil has also looked like shit until he decided to get on roids recently so it's an off critique coming from him.
>>
why does he get mad anyway he IS fat and DOESN'T work out like he's getting mad at facts

Punk has always worn the pads, the boots, the whole deal. In ROH he did famously wear shorts, but those were designed in line with his look. They weren’t just standard black basketball shorts, they were tailored wrestling shorts. However silly this distinction sounds, presentation makes all the difference.

But his entire tenure in WWE he wore trunks, and in AEW incorporated tights.

>>21009493
I love the intentionally poorly made merch, makes him look like a one man army. If the gimmick was he literally is just crazy, the company doesn’t want him but he keeps showing up and he makes all his merch, that’s awesome. But it’s not, at least not since his main roster debut.

But I think the poorly made stuff was intentional, because he is the most indie looking guy ever. More of a commentary than a gimmick, he’s never been a lunatic like Sycho Sid, just dangerous.
>>
>>21009480
WWE doesn't have a dress code for wrestlers, there was once a guy named Naked Mideon who wrestled in a fanny pack, none of what you said explains why Punk, whose job is beating other wrestlers and pinning to the mat, would be mad about a guy on the indies who wasn't sexy enough.
>>
>>21009526
I don't think it's about him being fat. I think it's about Phil pretending like he's ever been a locker room leader that people respect or look up to when, in reality, he's just some self-mark
>>
>>21009527
Punk was notorious for not wanting to wear suits when he first came into WWE garnering a lot of bad attention from the old guard, I think that's what anon was referencing.

I think his gimmick is that he's a family man who will do whatever it takes to bring home the bacon, which makes him go to extreme and maniacal lengths to secure victory.
>>
>>21009542
Punk has always been a source of knowledge and a leader and helper to several guys in the locker room. He was one of the only guys that would speak up for himself and the locker room pre 2014 exit. The only people who tried to discredit that were Triple H and other WWE cronies like Booker T, and “guys” like the Hardly Boyz
>>
>>21009275
he just comes off as whiny. phil being a prick aside when he points out he's been holding a grudge for 20 years over nothing it kinda buries KO.
>>
>>21009557
If you've ever worked backstage at a major venue "cleaning up the locker room" is one of the most forced and unnecessary things to try to instil on someone in the wrestling industry at that level. They literally have people who are paid to come in and clear out the locker rooms when they are done, not regular cleaners, but people whose sole job is to do that. Punk acting like a leader making people pick shit up was just another virtue-signalling do-gooder tactic that did nothing but make him look like a blowhard wannabe leader.
>>
>>21009550
At a time I definitely believe that was Kevin’s character, I forgot about the “Prize Fighter” stuff. And I love that, we should have more guys who just want to win. But if he is that, in gimmick, why would he care so much about some guy calling him fat 20 years ago?

And I remember the Undertaker suit thing, but I don’t really see that past hazing Punk. There were several other guys on the roster who didn’t wear suits for public appearances and they didn’t get shit for it, not even a whisper. It just seemed they were singling Punk out because is exactly that: Punk.
>>
>>21009569
Picking up after yourself shows self respect. Don’t you want to be a good person and just clean up the mess you made? Wrestlers are fucking gross too, shouldn’t be someone else’s burden to clean up the community shit bucket “rib”.

Do you remember when all the Scots came over for the World Cup, drank out Boston, and there was little to clean after they left? It’s just respect.
>>
>>21009569
Him breaking straight edge to kiss Harley Race's ass is also one of the cringiest stories
>>
>>21009489
Surprised that people still haven't caught on to the fact that Punk's been transforming into the "Corporate Man Punk" Gimmick.
>>
>>21009572
He cares now that they have to wrestle each other I guess, and all of the animosity he had for Punk reignited when he went over to AEW and beat up his friends.
>>
>>21009577
In a backstage environments like that, at venues like TD Garden, no one gives a fuck. It's not like they aren't going to invite Bailey Zimmerman back because he trashed his room backstage, which he did. He brings in too much money for any of that to be consequential beyond serious criminal damage to the venue. Punk has a old school mind set, it's funny he made that comment about The Bucks thinking they are still in Reseda, because that's him, living in his indie past well into his 40s.

It's funny you mention that about Scots in Boston during the World Cup, I bounced in bars during that and I also work backstage which is why I mentioned it, the Scottish in Boston acted like absolute pricks putting traffic cones all over the city and chanting their bullshit past 3am in the streets. "No Scotland no party." Fuck the Scots. We have all changed out standards because of niggers, Indians, and Mexicans having their way in American society, but I'm not letting these people off the hook just because they weren't doing street takeovers and twerking in the road. Give them a few more visits and they will.

This shit is awful. Stop letting women write wrestling

>>21009275
Wrestling has historically terrible writing but I don't think it's ever been worse than now because at least in the past it tried to root itself in pure simple animosity while now it's trying to be mid-level TV writing and fails
>punk I hate you because you're arrogant and think you're better than me, my evidence for this is you are telling cody he can have a title shot despite me being number one contender, something that has absolutely no bearing on my status as number one contender and in fact demonstrates arrogance on my behalf for believing myself entitled to be the only one allowed to challenge for the title even though this is historically unfounded
>>
>>21009294
>the general public prefer wrestlers who care about their appearance and look strong, and it draws more money
>this fat slob went away for a year and a half and came back fatter than when he left
>punk is 6 years older than him but in significantly better physical shape
>I'm better than you + you make less money for the business which means less money for me main eventing = i dislike you, you fat fuck
>>
>>21009465
Guys like mankind and dusty are special. KO is not special.
>>
>>21009861
But Kevin Owens was main eventing WrestleManias before Punk came back. How can you say he's not drawing money by being fat? Clearly enough people don't care about that anymore or else the fans would be leaving in droves and chanting shit at him. You're delusional.
>>
>>21009884
Wasn't that night 1 which nobody gives a fuck about?
>>
>>21009887
Night one drew 65,719 people, slightly more than night two even. Punk's favorite guy is Danhausen, by the way, whose whole gimmick is that he's a skinny fat joke of a man. Does Punk believe Danhausen is going to start putting on weight and going for the title soon?
>>
>>21009884
Kevin Owens is and always was dogshit
Cannot wait for him and his muslim cumsleeve to suffer carrer ending injuries and become bitter shells
>>
>>21009896
Only reason danhausen isnt buff is cause people would start making kiss demon jokes
He knew that so he didnt develop his body
>>
>>21009898
How do you reckon with the fact that they are both millionaires many times over with happy families?
>>
>>21009905
Kevin Owens wouldn't be himself if he was jacked without a shirt on either though.
>>
>>21009896
Night 1 only draws because it's associated with Night 2. If it had to stand alone it'd be a glorified Backlash, Bad Blood or Main Event.
The Night 1 main event would probably still be the 3rd last match place (with a piss break between it and the main event) or a opener but absolutely no-one give a fuck about Kevin/Sami vs the Uso's at WM 39 compared to Roman/Cody and the WM 38 match with Stone Cold was a gimmick that no-one give a fuck about Stone Cold's opponent.
>>
>>21009924
Okay, but SummerSlam this year drew about that many people total for two nights and that was with Punk was Champion defending the title..on NIGHT ONE, without Punk even in the main event. Both events were sold on Brock main eventing.
>>
>>21009275
I look like thst
>>
>>21009428
Punk fought at 170 when he was in the ufc
>>
>>21009934
Night's 1 draw was Oba vs Lesnar. Punk was never going to lose to Cody so his match was insignificant.
>>
>>21009961
>Lesnar was the draw
Also known as what I just said to you. Punk is not the draw you seem to think he is, at the very least Owens and Punk have similar drawing ability and that's why they are working together.
>>
>>21009884
Kevin Owens main evented twice by leeching off two seperate people: Sami and Austin. Anybody Austin would’ve worked with would’ve been main event, they just picked Kevin cause he’s a good hand and a heel. He then became apart of Sami getting his groove back when Sami was full bloodline, leading to the the tag titles main. Neither were because of him, necessarily.

Not saying he doesn’t mean anything. I like Kevin a lot, and he was my favorite Universal Champion besides Goldberg.

>>21009982
Ballistically incorrect. CM Punk is a major, major draw. He sits with Cody and Roman, and I could make an argument he’s above either of them.

The reason Lesnar went last was because it was his retirement and HIAC, not due to match importance. Otherwise, Punk should’ve main evented Night 2. Could also be because of the Randy Orton interference they called it Night 1, this was more of a build match than an actual main event.
>>
>>21010119
He's a draw, he's not a major draw. He drew ratings for AEW and WWE when he but he has no impressed as Champion. SummerSlam was half full both nights and you can make all the excuses you want, but he didn't draw majorly.
>>
>>21010290
I don’t know what metrics you’re going off of, but whatever they are, they’re not telling the full story. Punk is massive business, SummerSlam is the draw regardless who shows up or not, but there’s more than just building numbers. Its merchandise sales, public appearances, social media interactions, live show appearances, etc. They don’t give truly anyone enough time to build their main event when they have a 4 week timeframe and make them do the same segment every week. It’s the weakness of the booking right now
>>
>>21009487
You write like a *fag* and your shit's all *retarded*.
>>
>>21009842
To be fair, he couldn't call Punk a politicking faggot who tried to end his career because Punk's ego is even more delicate than his ankles
>>
>>21009275

>>
He should actually just ask him why he sgits himself in the ring
>>
>>21009294
Punk literally explained it in detail during the last promo. If there is any reason they shouldn't do these promos it's that fans have trouble grasping anything more complicated than people attacking each other backstage.
>>
I just watched the promo after not watching wrestling in like 2 years. Is Punk the heel? He came off as such an arrogant prick.

Best of luck to KO next week.

>>21009428
Do you remember Taker killing Punk's push because he wasn't dressing professionally? Everything Punk ever talks about are just reflections of his own deep seating insecurities

Punk ironically wants Owens to get on ozempic. He wants Kevin on drugs.
