The rumor is Punk didn’t want to job in Chicago (where All Out is) so he said fine, have Moxley squash me and make it seem like I came back too soon. - Tim Aug 25, 08:49 9
- Those “sources” are all the people who hate Punk. Meanwhile, he is showing up on every vlog being the nicest dude. - The Allfather Aug 25, 09:20
- So the plan was Moxley over him anyhow...which why? - Will Hunting Aug 25, 09:13 5
  - They don’t want an interim champion for six months, and Punk can’t go hard for at least another PPV. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 25, 09:21 4
    - That's stupid. Sorry, but it is. The real champ gets the title shot when he's back. Real sports works that way - Will Hunting Aug 25, 09:29 1
      - They’re not really sure Punk comes back, though. It was supposed to be a two month injury but hasn’t healed right. At his age, nothing is guaranteed. - The Allfather Aug 25, 10:13
    - Yeah, I guess I just don't get it though. They have an interim champion. They could have just held Punk longer if he isn't ready. A terrible title - pmb Aug 25, 09:23 1
      - I looooved that match. It had psychology and aped the Brodie Lee match against Cody. -- (edited) - The Allfather Aug 25, 10:15

    - and Sams Club -- nm - budice Aug 25, 08:19 4
      - fwiw, Oil Change place hates me for using Groupon. Like its my fault they advertise there -- nm* - budice Aug 25, 08:19 3
        
        mainly the reason I quit years ago. They downgrade the service quality if its a Groupon and give you an attitude. -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 25, 08:45 2
        
        Usually why I try to show the Groupon at the end if I can. -- nm - budice Aug 25, 08:48 1
        
        good point -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 25, 08:52

  - I'm super old and don't stream, I use iTunes. I pulled out my old laptop, loaded them to iTunes, then used a USB drive to get them to my new laptop. -- nm - MDH Aug 25, 08:02 14
