CM Punk is finally making his first media appearance since leaving the WWE this Sunday on AMC's Talking Dead tv show, it was announced he would be appearing during last nights episode and he was billed as Phil Brooks aka CM Punk, they programme also did not use a WWE picture of him to promote his appearance but rather a simple head shot of him in regular clothes.

 

The Ultimate Warrior has announced on his twitter that Linda McMahon will be the person to induct him into the WWE Hall Of Fame next month, should be enjoyable to be there and boo her if she rambles on like Maria Menounos

 

YAAAAAAAAAAS I JUST GOT A TWEET FROM RYDER

 

Raw tonight then the ICW documentary tomorrow on BBC. Then I've got Still Smokin at the end of the month and a stand up show on wrestling the night before not a bad few weeks of rasslin lined up

 

Former nWo member Buff Bagwell recently spoke with The Shoot. Here are some highlights:

Thoughts on John Cena:

“I don’t think he’s a Rock, I don’t think he is a Sting, I don’t think he is a Goldberg, I don’t think he is a Stone Cold. But I think he’s bigger than a Buff Bagwell. I really do. Now mainly because of the way they’ve pushed him i give him credit than being bigger than me. When you lay out the facts, no he’s not as big as The Rock, no he’s not as big as Stone Cold, no he’s not as big as these other guys I’m talking about. Then again, you give me the same push i think i would be just as big as John Cena. He’s not that cornerstone guy. He’s not that super mega superstar that The Rock has become. He’s not that super mega superstar Stone Cold had become. He’s just WWE’s number one guy and with a little bit of help, a lot of guys could be that guy. He’s just got the look, he’s got the ability, and he was at the right place at the right time to be their poster child.”

Thoughts on CM Punk:

“He’s too small. That’s why they kept him and The Rock as far apart as they could until they had to wrestle because when you really stand Rock against CM Punk in the ring. They just don’t look like it fits. You’ve got a 260 pound guy in The Rock down to a buck 80-85 CM Punk. Nothing against being a buck 85 but you know TNA’s got a division called the X Division for guys like that. I think that’s a good thing to have, but as far as being the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk should not be. He’s not big enough, he don’t look the part. He’s heard, i bet if you ask him and he told the truth, he’s heard a million times wow you’re not as big as i thought you were. That’s not good for Pro Wrestling. You’ve gotta be big you know? to make it believable, to make it more realistic. I don’t think he’s that. He just doesn’t carry that kind of power.”

Does he think anything can save TNA?

“No, I don’t think there is. That’s why I’m not mad they didn’t hire me. Hiring Buff Bagwell isn’t going to save TNA. Hiring The Rock isn’t going to save TNA. So why put out a couple more hundred grand a year when it’s not going to save the company. I understand their position but I still don’t understand keeping the show on television. Either shut it down or do hire a Buff Bagwell that may switch the channels a little more, may make something happen. It may make somebody want to come over. Then you got The Rock and Buff Bagwell, maybe a Goldberg on TNA. Now you’ve got some heavy players. You just can’t have match after match people going who’s this guy here? what’s that guys name? You gotta have name value and they don’t.”

“They (TNA) were at the Gwinett Center here about 6 months ago, and I just drove up there and walked in. They just ate me up and oh * you look great, looks like you haven’t aged a bit, you know all this stuff. Me and Eric did text back and forth and all of sudden guys started getting fired, it was the same ol story, TNA’s going under and it was over again. I just can’t imagine being in the wrestling business you’ve got Buff Bagwell living in Atlanta, you’re running a Gwinett show which is 20 minutes from my house. Why would you not have Buff Bagwell come in and get beat? Put me on TV, beat me, but why not put me on TV? People know me better than they know other guy they’re beating. So why not get a better rating and beat me. I’m not asking to win, I’m asking to be part of the show and help them build a product.”

 

While the news of Linda McMahon inducting The Ultimate Warrior into the WWE Hall of Fame came as a surprise this morning, it's not that unusual as Warrior was very close with the McMahon family during his run as WWF Champion, which is one of the reasons why his falling out with the company got so bitter at the time.

Before CM Punk walked out of the company, he had been discussed internally as Warrior's inductor. At one point there was also strong speculation that Hulk Hogan would be inducting Warrior.

 

Buff Bagwell trying to be-little Cena and Punk.

 

to be fair he's got a point Cena is not on the same level as Goldberg or Sting.:icon_mrgreen:

 

Buff Bagwell the man so bad at wrestling he got fired and had to become a male porstitute. Why would anyone even care for his opinion

Just minutes ago, WWE.com and WWE’s official Twitter account have changed John Cena’s opponent to Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family. This may have just been a mistake, or may indicate that there are changes being made to tonight’s RAW script. Below is the updated tweet:
