Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis.
WWE Edit Paul Heyman Promo WWE’s YouTube channel has found great success
by uploading individual segments from their weekly TV.
Unfortunately, they sometimes edit out the best parts - The Usos rap battle joke about
Xavier Woods and Paige, Big E joking about how many times Charlotte’s won the title
and everyone booing Roman Reigns.
Now Max Landis - who sometimes works as a creative consultant for WWE - has pointed
out another recent edit.
Heading into Samoa Joe vs Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire, Paul Heyman cut a great
promo building up the Beast Incarnate’s opponent - memorably calling Joe the ‘worst
case scenario’.
But in that promo, Paul said something else.
“I look at my client’s opponents and I get concerned.
That’s what I do as a Jew.”
Sadly, that line - which got one of the biggest pops from the crowd - was edited from WWE’s
YouTube upload.
In response to Landis calling this ‘weird’ earlier this week, Heyman himself has now
replied on Twitter: “Some people have a hard time dealing w/
my superior intellect, esp when they realize it comes from having a yiddishe keppala!”
And that’s not the only interesting wrestling exchange that’s been had on Twitter this
week…
Warning: the levels of troll here are dangerously high.
CM Punk Offered Bullet Club Wrestling Return?
On the final night of New Japan and Ring of Honor’s joint War of the Worlds shows in
May, The Villain Marty Scurll was unveiled as the latest member of the Bullet Club - kicking
out Adam Cole in the process.
And now, several months later, Scurll has seemingly invited someone else to the faction
- posting the Bullet Club logo on Twitter, but in the design of CM Punk’s Best in the
World t-shirt.
Earlier in the day, Marty’s fellow Bullet Club members The Young Bucks had tweeted a
similar design to the Straight Edge Superstar himself - the difference being that Punk’s
beloved hometown ‘Chicago, Illinois’ was at the bottom rather than Scurll’s ‘Best
in the World’.
It turns out, the design is actually the official New Japan Bullet Club Chicago shirt from ProWrestlingTees
- which is only available in the site’s new Chicago store that’s opening in October.
ProWrestlingTees is also the official merchandise store for CM Punk.
Sadly, this is most probably just a cool t-shirt design playing on Punk’s WWE ring gear,
which the Bullet Club have decided to troll fans online with.
In a YouTube Q+A earlier this year, the Bullet Club did get asked about whether they’d
invite Punk to join their faction, to which Matt Jackson replied:
“I think he’s probably the only guy left that I would probably let into the Bullet
Club.
And Hulk Hogan...I talk to Punk, he’s my buddy.
We text every now and then.
But I told him ‘whenever you want to come back, please text me, and somehow we’ll
make this work out.’”
And Punk and Hogan might not be the only wrestlers the Bullet Club have an open invite for:
Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn With Bullet Club In episode 65 of their Being The Elite show
on YouTube, A WILD KEVIN OWENS APPEARS!
It’s super effective.
as Matt and Nick Jackson walk the streets of Montreal.
And then, shortly after, A WILD SAMI ZAYN APPEARS!
And asks for the time.
Which pretty much confirms Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and CM Punk are all joining the Bullet
Club as part of an invasion faction in WWE, right?
Please?
Anybody?
Vince McMahon is reportedly furious with Shinsuke Nakamura!
And has the Summerslam main event winner been leaked?
