Like I told BC offline, I think this is planting the seeds for a big heel turn. Especially when he loses at EC and goes on a reign of terror.
Worked well for the Rock last year.

Man, this feels very "heel-ish" to me.

I could easily see WWE finally pulling the trigger and turning him heel. I think it would be great. Also… If that happens… Perhaps this ‘last run’ thing is all a ruse.
Where has @-CarlHungus- Doc Fungus been hiding out? This thread is right up his alley.
You don't suppose he's an illegal alien and fell victim of ICE?

Speaking of wrestling, WWE has been putting some of their older PPVs on YouTube recently and it’s been great.
I had the 1992 Royal Rumble on last night in the background while I was working on a couple things. There will never be another Bobby Heenan.

I haven't watched WWE diligently in some time, but my kids and I did sit down to watch the Rumble and it was a great family night. We all loved it.
Sometimes the celebrity run ins are awful, but that bump Speed took was insane. Props to him for letting them lay one in on him.
So true.
Heenan was amazing.
It's brutal. I wonder if he knew going into it it was going to be like that? It looked like his soul left his body.
This is great.
Glad to see him not do an interview (like the Rock does) where he talks about his “character” and “storyline”….keep Kayfabe alive, damn it.

Not gonna lie, Travis Scott being there really hurt the segment for me and kept it from being as impactful as it could have been, imo. Plus, his attempt to bend Cody in half and then legit punch him was weird.

Rock said in the press conference afterwards that Scott is part of the plan. But yeah…I agree.
I was planning on going to mania in N.O….but now im definitely going.
Last time there was an amazing weekend.

Some things to remember: Heyman still owes Punk a favor.
Seth caused him to lose the EC and give Cena the win. Punk has beef now and wants his pound of flesh.

What a load of self-righteous bullshit. How does being entertained by something equate to being "so caught up" in it? It's no different than watching any other television series or movie and talking about it with friends. And don't say you've never done that because you'd be lying.
I don’t follow wrestling anymore but it’s this and Hogan as 1A and 1B on biggest heel turns ever right?
so you don't watch anything at all on television? don't go to the theater and watch a movie? hell, even the news is scripted.
i'm not into wrastlin', either, but to chastise it as "scripted television" when you've watched and enjoyed watching plenty of "scripted television" is about as hypocritical as hypocritical gets.
For real. If anything, wrestling is the thing where people ARE hyper aware that it’s scripted. You hear people talking about TV dramas like “I can’t believe XYZ would do that” and nobody bats an eye.
Wrestling has way more people talking about the backstage politics and the like but that stuff exists on, like, SNL just as much. And nobody gives it shit for that (but I guess people would have to watch SNL to notice.)
Exactly. It’s like the sub-plot that adds more interest.
Who do the fans like? Do the writers see the vision and will they get behind some guy and give him a push? When is this guys contract up? Will he defect to another company?
Yes. Not sure anything could ever supplant Hogan but this one is right up there.
They should put his corpse in the Smithsonian when he passes.
