CM Punk gave one of the best promos in years last night on Raw. Skip to 9.00 to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=fvFufuM9E0I
It was. The best ending to Raw for a very long time. I marked out like fuck at that promo last night and it was indeed, one of the best promos of all time. Great, great stuff all round.
I already like the guy but last night he pretty much became a legend in my eyes. Oh yes I marked out big time. Finally a little excitement. Hope things keep going good for the WWE's sake. It's mostly been stale as shit. I thought the Nexus angle last year was going to be awesome... and we all seen how that went...
My thoughts exactly. When the original Nexus interfered at the end of RAW and fucked everyone up, it was gold. Then it just got repetitive and so, so stale. Minus, indeed, that was also awesome.
Holy shit what a promo. Havn't had one that shoot-style in years. Unless it's a storyline, it would appear that it's cost CM Punk his job though. It would suck if that was the last we see of him because he's absolutely 100% correct.
It's a work, however, it's being treated like a shoot for authenticity. They removed his profile from WWE, removed his Facebook, made an official announcement on WWE saying he is suspended indefinitely. It's probably the best thing to come out of WWE since 1999. All the years of shit wrestling fans have had to sit through, and finally, something like this happens and it actually feels like it paid off, and makes me glad I didn't stop watching just because it wasn't doing so great. Unfortunately, RAW has already been pre-taped for next week, so spoilers on what happens next week are already out.
And to think people say Cain has a weak chin because Kongo rocked him. I bet Pat Barry still can't remember his middle name.
I couldn't help myself but I did read the spoilers. It's looking a little more interesting... That's all I will say.
UFC 132 tonight. Can't wait to see Wand back in the cage. I just hope his chin holds up against The Foot Stomper.
lol ryan bader CM Punk shit is just a modified form of his ROH exit storyline. they gave Punk the mic time at the end of RAW, but they didn't know what he was going to say. the plan all along was to let Punk say his piece, but to cut it when he 'crossed the line'. Punk was obviously 100% involved in this, so he knew the anti-bullying remark would get the mic cut. beautiful promo, though, but it wasn't anything that anyone would be upset over. maybe John Laurinaitis, but if you noticed, Mark Henry called that motherfucker out too. Vince was probably laughing his ass off at Punk saying he's a millionaire that should be a billionaire, the comments about Stephanie and Triple H, etc. my roommate thought it was real, so i guess those not privy to the workings of wrestling probably bought this hook, line and sinker. which is what is needed for anyone to care about this match at MITB. goddamn, imagine the heat that match is going to get since it's in Chicago. fuck. it's exciting. obviously punk won't win, knowing WWE and the way shit usually goes down, but they still have quite a while until they hit the Cena/Rock match next year, Cena needs to stay active... why not let Punk win and run wild with the idea of Punk as WWE Champion, but not under contract. They seem to be friendly with ROH.. have Punk show up with the belt. Crazier things have happened (Triple H offering to work an ECW PPV in 2001). i read the dirtsheetz too much, obviously, but backstage stuff fascinates me. especially wrestling sleaze. some of the shit i've read, you'd think professional wrestlers are the dirtiest, scumiest, dirtbag fuckers in existence.
Leben's dreams have came true, maybe now he can retire and get out. So annoying. I don't know what's worse, Leben or Tito winning. It just means neither will go away for the forseeable future. I don't want to see another long delayed Tito Ortiz match stretched out until 2013. Damnit.
Chris always seems to pull a win out of his ass right as he's on the verge of being cut. He'll probably be in the UFC forever. Cruz's bouncing around reminds of Michael Palin's "ex-leper" character from The Life of Brian.
I'm double posting. [video=youtube;njEjP21iXLA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njEjP21iXLA&feature=player_embedded[/video]
poor Riley, he was the only one that didn't get to hit a move on Punk. I really wish Zack Ryder would go away, though.
Punk is still a beast. I'd pay money just to see him. The only guy in the buisness today that could make everyone cheer for the heel. He did that on Raw this monday when he go in Cenas face and started talking sports with him. His promo this Monday was funny and awesome because it's true. Anyways, you cannot deny the man credit on his mic skills. I love that "Voice of the voiceless" moniker. I've always been a fan of his. Even as the straight edge heel. Maybe it's because of the fact that he is a hometown superstar... Anyways, he has that ability to turn the unexpected corner. For instance, I never thought I would ever hear a "We want ice cream" chant. I don't think anyone else could have pulled it off. Chicago Made Punk IS money in the bank.
