Um, no, he's pretty much right about Punk and the numbers. From the point Cena became a Raw mainstay in '05, the numbers have actually been consistent; if anything, they're higher than the 2003 numbers, the absolute dregs of WWE business, an before Cena and Batista were pushed to the moon.
I don't think Punk has been bad on television, but people seem to tune out when he's on your television, an that's quite the problem.
In 2005 ratings were up because of Batista and Cena only came in the last month and half and ratings went down lil bit, besides the roster was 10x better than now, so stop blaming Punk for numbers that he proved wrong on the weekly breakdown when his segments gains the most while others loses tons of them. I label Batista for the success of 2005 not Cena sorry, even in 2006 Edge got higher numbers than Cena and since Cena got the title in the late of 2006 to 2007 ratings went down 39% for the last 2 years, Cena cant draw for the whole generation, only to millions of kids, girls, and old/sick people. Also he had tons of chances and victories which made him a big star anyway despise his lack of skills he failed to get the crowd on his side and got shoved down our throat (for real).
Punk gained a million viewers 6 times this year more than anyone nearly in the last 2 years. People should blame the 3 hours program because in the first 4 week of it the show was getting decent/good numbers but when it kept going people got sick of it and got stale real fast and lost interest because of the lack of starpowers, that can hold the 3 hours program and they did it time to time but even if it was constant working with them may result the same and the writers will get out of ideas and storylines (already happened), 3 hours is too much for anyone and it never did good numbers even in the past.
The ones that question Punks matches, on not being good or great are obviously haters who doesnt wanna admit the truth, before others with a brain can start showing the facts. Noboby in the company have overshdowed the cycle of great matches of his in the last few years. He doesnt have enough wrestler that he can pull the same quality matches. Also the ones who said Brock/Cena or with Triple H were better than his matches are tricky as Punk didnt face Brock Lesnar to prove who had a better match which just shows that the opportunities goes to Cena and Triple H, not to Punk which I assure you that it will be as much as good or even better, you people should compare the matches that both wrestlers had with the same opponents, and when we go by that it will appear to be that Punk beats them on that easily.
Also about questioning Punks promos saying its boring, I answer that by logic and truth.
Punk promos with Foley, Vince, Jerry, JR, Bret Hart, etc. Are all great heel promos and nobody this year could or will touch that only Punk can. Also about the limited moves that may so called facts by the OP or the same person who posted the same shit which I think both are actually the same users. So, the fact is every top wrestlers have limited moveset (Cena or Ryback have shitty ones thats why a lot of people complain), because I assure you that Punk has a lot of his own moves 6 or 7 original ones, used over 100 moves not just chops, kicks, punch, etc. No! I mean a real moveset. For example, he has not used the Pepsi Twist, Devil Lock DDT, Reverse Huricanranna, Shinning Wizard, Punk-Handle Piledriver, Welcom to Chicago MotherF***er, etc. In WWE. Even tho he does a lot of moves often on matches, so I dont know what the OP or some of you are trying to say.
Give me a Cena or Ryback promos or matches that can handle the great cycle of matches and promos of Punk this year, he seems to do the most great work unlike the others. Cena doesnt gain good numbers, he seems to lose them lately, same thing goes to Ryback. Stop blaming Punk and just enjoy and get excited for Punk/Rock which people who voted for, over Cena and Big Show, so hes popular and can handle hmself very well. So, shut up and stop whining about something that people have chosed before and now sudenly when Punk turned heel some unintelligent fans are whining more than Punk, just get over it , its scipted. It doesnt matter how tough you look its about how skilled youre.
