Now before I go into this, I want to mention that I think CM PUNK is doing an AMAZING JOB. If you don't think he's an over heel, listen to the heat he got at the beginning of Smackdown. Punk is the man right now, and his promo was great.
And I can understand if WWE wants to push the whole "I don't drink and do drugs and i'm better than you" type of thing, which is good.. But I still think they are pushing the wrong way..
I mean, is WWE contradicting themselves? I mean, even though it has adult theme's, WWE does a lot to aim towards kids.. Well then, why do they keep shoving straightedge like it's a bad thing to the fans? I am straightedge, and have many friends that aren't, and absolutely have no problems with it. Even punk hangs out in bars and still is straightedge, but has no problem with it.
But rather than push the whole CM PUNK thinks he's better because everyone else drinks and does drugs, they push that the whole concept of straightedge being bad.
They need a face to be like "Straight is alright with you, and alright all around, but just because some people aren't straighedge doesn't mean YOU'RE better than them." Instead they have Mr. "Leaves the company when they need him" Hardy go out and say "We're independent people, we can do whatever we want! And though that's correct, I feel that instead of pushing the individual perspective, they are pushing that "straightedge is bad."
Please serious replies. I'd like to hear smart opinions.
