Who hasn't Punk been with is the question

Not Michelle Beadle, apparently. I swear, Punk doesn't seem to have a type does he? He probably would have dated Chyna if they would have crossed paths.

 

Oh, and Meltzer is reporting there is a cartoon being passed around backstqge making fun of AJ's desire to be just like Lita IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. I can't wait until that leaks.

 

UPDATE: Found it:

Mike Awesome had a tryout with the WWF in December 1996 and presumably didn't get offered a job.

I'd also add that Awesome was making decent money in FMW. Not off the charts, but decent money. This was a period in the pre-Monday Night wars era where the WWF and WCW weren't offering tons of money for guys underneath the top guys. The WWF had scaled back to largely one house show by this point rather than multiple crews, so the roster was also smaller. They were a bit more selective in who they brought in rather than casting out the net and grabbing everyone in the 80s. So in the WWF, there were less chances.

 

In the 80s, you'd think the WWF would grab both Big Titan (Rick Bognar) & Gladiator (Awesome) from FMW. In the mid-90s... not so much. They did eventually grab Bognar for the Fake Razor gimmick, but this was a point where Awesome was main eventing in FMW.

 

Why didn't WCW grab him when they were signing everyone up? I don't think he was much on their radar until ECW. Hell, even the initial PPV matches in ECW didn't get him a job with WCW, and he was just sitting out there.

Rock was number one box office draw for 2013. He was in a bunch of movies that came out but still pretty impressive.

This is funny. Leave it to Forbes to come up with a stupid list. Are they going to revise it when Hobbit 2.0 goes close to $1B world wide, we add it to the $467.4M that Star Trek Into Darkness made, and declare Benedict Cumberbatch the champ? After all, he was the lead heel in both movies... and considering Forbes gives full credit to all three "lead" babyfaces.

 

John, thinking it's best not to mention Idris Elba...

The start of a series of articles about the WWF's territorial takeover kicks off with a look at the demise of the AWA

 

Khawk may have a correction or 2 to offer.

I'd offer that Brunzell didn't fly the coop right away as he was around until April-ish of 1985, and that the Fabs were brought in with a lot of pomp and circumstance but really didn't begin main event programs right away, it took a several months to get things going on near the top of the card in the main markets.

 

The rest is the same-old same-old AWA died stuff, which all seems fine.

This is supposed to be the video posted where I talk about the 1984 AWA TV breakdown. I goofed and placed Jumbo vs. Nick there instead.
