I think both things can be true at the same time. Sure he had a terrible diet and didn't train and wasn't in his peak and had had injuries, but he also at his core does not know how to fight because he's a fucking pussy with a glass jaw.

The thing is, he absolutely had everything going his way for preparation for the fight. He was training at Roufusport in Milwaukee and could basically do it 24/7, unlike a lot of young fighters who are usually balancing a day job with training.

Him being in better shape wouldn't have prevented him getting taken down or Gall picking him apart and going from guard > side control > mount > taking his back in like a minute.

He needed experience, which him being in the best shape of his life wouldn't have changed.

I legitimately think Vince is just one of those people who’d actually die if he didn’t have something to do on a daily basis.

That said, Vince outliving us all wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest…
 
The biggest issue with Punk is the whole "Best in The World" thing.

There has been midcard jobbers in every single company he has ever worked for that were far better than he ever was. And that's before you get to guys like D Bry, Styles, Omega etc. that we are supposed to pretend he is on the same level as.

In fact, I think Reigns is fairly mediocre but he'll 100% put in a better performance than Punk in their match at Mania. He can at least hit his spots without gassing horribly after 2 minutes.
 
I find it odd Punk is supposed to be this rebel persona yet has a tattoo of one of the largest beverage corporations in the United States.

i mean a lot of people like him are consoomers, as are many others but at least most people have self-awareness that executives suck even if we enjoy their companies products

rare time I somewhat agree with you, I think it’ll probably end up being a decent main event in-ring but Roman is going to have to do a bit of carrying, I enjoyed the Triple Threat last year but this time they won’t have Rollins to break up certain slower portions of the match
 
So far, every match confirmed for WrestleMania 42 is a singles match:
- Punk vs Roman for the world title
- Cody vs Orton for the WWE title
- Vaquer vs Liv for the women's world title
- Jade vs Rhea for the women's WWE title
- AJ vs Becky for the women's IC title
- Brock vs Oba
- Drew vs Fatu (not actually confirmed but might as well be)

Still a whole lot left of the card to build with less than a month to go. 4 episodes of SmackDown and 3 of Raw left.
- IC title
- US title
- women's US title
- Raw tag team title
- SmackDown tag team title
- women's tag team title (probably going to be a fatal four way with how they're building this up)
- Gunther?
- Rollins? (if Bron can come back that's the obvious way to go)
- Dom vs Finn (vs McDonagh)?
- Asuka vs IYO (vs Kairi)?

Just from what I listed that would altogether be 17 matches across both nights. In the Triple H Era, there were 15 matches at WM39, 14 at WM40 and 14 at WM41. 15 might be the maximum WWE is willing to go so some of this stuff is getting left out.

i doubt the the raw or tag titles get a slot this year

Night 1:
Drew vs Fatu
Penta vs Gable (nothing else seems obvious, JD is in their own feud and they were all in that fatal-four way anyway last year)
Gunther vs Rey (they are badly building anything for Gunther, with Dragon Lee feud they might as well give him Rey here, let Gunther tap him out for some heat)
Becky vs AJ Lee
Vaquer vs Liv
Bron vs Rollins (if they are healthy enough but I doubt it, Hernias take a few months at minimum usually, I think they might be the King of the Ring Final this summer instead, they can strap the rocket to Bron and have him face the winner of Punk vs Roman at Summerslam)
Cody vs Orton

Night 2:
Oba vs Brock
Iyo vs Asuka
Carmelo vs Trick vs Ilja (I wouldn't have Melo and Trick go one-on-one yet, throw in Ilja since hes already been having decent matches with Carmelo)
Rhea vs Jade
Dom vs Finn
Solo vs Uncle Howdy (fucking throw away but please end the feud and let the MFTs do something else, this feud has been going on for fucking months)
Roman vs Punk

- WWE isn't leaving the Usos out of WrestleMania. They want the stupid ass "yeet" moment. They'll probably get a thrown together match with Logan and Theory for the Raw tag team title. That can replace Solo vs Howdy because not a single person wants to see that shit at WM.
- Women's tag team title will get a spot because of the names involved. WWE brought back the Bellas for a reason (what it is I don't know). No way Charlotte isn't getting a match after all this build (however shit it's been). Plus they screwed Alexa and Bayley last year, have to make it up to them this time around.
- Women's US title I could see getting a match if they put the title on Tiffy before WM (which I think is very likely to happen) and she's been all over the advertising so she can't be left out either. Or WWE can continue the streak of not having this title ever be defended on a PLE.

WWE might have to grit its teeth and put on 16 matches lol
 
Been going to sleep every night the last week listening to Cornettes omnibus things on YouTube. Called some laneblocker at the grocery store Jelly Nutella. Thanks Jim.

iirc he got it because some punk rock guy got a coke logo for "ironic" purposes
so monkey see, monkey have no original thoughts of his own
 
Listening to Cornette speaking on Dennis Condrey's passing. I assumed that it was just a matter of age, but he apparently had a dizzy spell and fell in a way that broke his neck. He had to deal with throat cancer and multiple surgeries, and just when things seem to be going well for him, shit like this happens.

Edit: Also, fuck the WWE for not inducting him and Bobby into the hall of fame while they were alive.

There are very few wrestlers in the WWE Hall of Fame who never wrestled in the WWWF/WWF/WWE. Even guys like Rock & Roll Express & Stan Hansen where there for a little bit.

There are a few inductees like Bob Armstrong, Stevie Ray, and Stu Hart that I think were more or less inducted as favours to people, and a few that were clearly part of a tape library deals like most of the Von Erichs and Verne Gagne, but for the most part it seems like you have to have had at least one run in WWE to get in.

Speaking of the Hall of Fame looks like the late Sycho Sid is getting the nod which makes him the last of the pre attitude era WWE champions to get in (Stan Stasiaks in the legacy wing)
 
Sid's getting in, but it looks like its going to be that bullshit Legacy Class thing where he'll get a vidoe saying "He's in too guys!" and that's it.

Luna Vachon, Lord Alfred Hayes, Kamala, Dory Funk, Jim Londos, Bruiser Brody, former WWE Chapion Stan Stasiak, and many others got that and its bullshit.

Just give Sid a proper induction for crying out loud!

It's just like his muscles. He doesn't bother to work on anything important that would actually help him in the ring like cardio, legs, back, core, et cetera. He just works on stuff like his biceps and shit that looks good aesthetically.
Jacob is the exact opposite, he couldn't give a fuck about how he looks. He looks like the fat drunk Hawaiian uncle of your girlfriend who married into the family and always gets in a fight and has the cops called on him at every cookout.
When the bell rings though we see what matters. Punk gets blown the fuck up immediately and Jacob does a backflip from the top turn buckle onto the announce desk and then sprint's out to the parking lot, smokes a cigarette and comes back to go another 20 minutes.

Jacob isn't cut but he doesn't look like your fat uncle. He looks like Farooq, a guy who could shoot 1x5 DL 500 pounds.

/pw/ is exceptionally shitty right now. Half the catalog there is basically that fat mick cripple Rovert necrobumping his gay threads for weeks on end.
