The Critic Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 10:59 AM) That would have absolutely worked as well. All I'm disagreeing with you about is that I don't think this squashes the Punk angle at all, if they do this right everything can still all tie in very nicely. I just didn't want anything drawing attention away from it so soon. To have that happen the next day feels like a blowoff. We'll see how it progresses, I just thought it was a step back.

fathom Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Critic, I so agree with you. I was really disappointed by how quickly they transitioned to finding a new WWE Champ. The last segment clearly saved the show, and the angle still has a lot of intrigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) For those at the event, was I the only one who thought people were going to act very stupid if CM Punk lost? I'm not talking about full-scale riots....but it was definitely an intense atmosphere. I agree. It was very intense to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I still haven't seen anything saying CM Punk has resigned.. what if he really was leaving and Vince had decided it would be best to just have him leave and have a tournament to crown a new champion with a new belt rather than having an insane Chicago crowd possibly do something stupid had he lost? I know how unlikely that is, but the relieving Vince of his duties makes some sense in all of this.. not getting CM Punk resigned, allowing him the chance to leave with the belt, firing Cena.. And they could still continue it with HHH trying to bring back CM Punk.. If they really wanted to crown a new champion, they could of last night so I dont know how much I am buying into that actually happening.. All I can say is they have made some pretty big strides to a better product recently, and its very encouraging.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Vince is 65 years old, Im sure this has been in the works for quite some time and he just wants to step back and be the small part time megalomaniac character and just bounce from island to island until he goes to the great wrestling heaven in the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw last night was real on a symbolic level.” Last night, Waltman wrote that the storyline on TV was “real.” It should be noted that Vince McMahon is still the “head man in charge”. Triple H has NOT taken over the company. He will eventually take over for Vince but that hasn’t happened yet, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Triple H is basically being ‘groomed’ to take over along with Stephanie McMahon. We noted several months ago that HHH had been learning the “ins and outs” of the company at Titan Towers. He’s also taken more of a ‘management’ role at TV tapings. Monday’s RAW saw Triple H take the reigns from Vince in storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 falling into the "You guys know this isnt real, right?" category..... Darren Rovell, a sports business reporter for CNBC, noted on his Twitter account that last night's angle on Raw in which Vince McMahon was relieved of his duties of WWE chief and replaced by his son-in-law, Triple H, may cause issues with WWE stock. "The No. 1 material risk against WWE stock is Vince McMahon leaving the business," Rovell wrote. "Tonight's plot could be an SEC violation." rajah.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I haven't been watching, but with Vince leaving, Danielson winning, Punk on top of the world, and Colt Cabana ringside the other night, it's painfully obvious that they are going for a RoH-invasion line.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I predicted this would happen somewhere else. I also thinks it's too soon. I think the WWE did it though because of the support Punk has gotten. I see him losing at SummerSlam. No way Super Cena loses twice to the same wrestler in the same year.
