Pipe Bombed
By Scott Keith on 15 March 2020
To me it seems like there is a large crowd of fans that gave up on wwe around 2003-2005 and then came back after the pipebomb in 2011. I'm definitely a part of that crowd but I can't seem to figure out why. Was the pipebomb that good? Just wondering what your thoughts are.
It was a combination of Punk saying things that fans had been saying for a while and then kind of hitting on the zeitgeist, with the Cena storyline that was itself a perfect representation of the frustration that Punk and the fans were feeling. And then they fucked it all up, but sometimes all you need to do is hook the people again for a bit and then they start watching out of habit.
