Why get so emotional over Punk's win? Complaining doesn't change the fact that Punk is already the champion now. I'd say just live with it and hope WWE has the right plans for Punk and the upcoming #1 contenders to make this title reign credible.
I have a right to get emotional. I love Professional Wrestling and within the span of one segment I seen the main show turn to complete shit.
I'm completely repeating myself anymore with everything I say. Indy Punk is
NOT World Heavyweight Championship material. So no, I won't be happy. I won't be patient and wait to see where it goes, because regardless it'll go there with a shit wrestler who doesn't deserve the spot hes in.
I'm not exactly familiar with Punk's work cos' I dun watch ECW, and the first time I saw him, I was skeptical of him as well. Average looks, average build, average gimmick and a pair of funny tights. But when I saw his matches on PPVs and interbrand matches on RAW and Smackdown, I was impressed. I'd prefer watching him wrestle over alot of wrestlers on the roster now, even top tier ones like Triple H or Batista.
Triple H. isn't on Raw, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing this travesty unfold. And I honestly hope Botchtista v. Indy Punk does happen. Maybe then in an unfortunate accident Punk will get injured enough to have to drop the title and return to the no-nothing levels of the business he belongs in.
Punk only has good matches when hes wrestling Superstars who can carry him. John Morrison, Chris Jericho, Elijah Burke, and Edge.
Punk's match with J.B.L. sucked, and I got a news flash for you.. it wasn't because J.B.L. sucks, it was because Punk can't carry the Main Event.
Yeah, I get the pt that Kennedy and MVP should be elevated to ME lvl way before Punk, but their progress would take more than a year without the acceleration granted by MITB. Since WWE put MITB on Punk, they're forced in a way to elevate Punk prematurely over the rest.
Thats honestly just.. well, I won't say stupid but I believe it is. I guarantee you, if someone randomly said "Edge v. Mystery Opponent" for the title.. and Mr. Kennedy walked out.. the roof would be gone. Same with M.V.P.
And whats more to that, M.V.P. was looking for a way off Smackdown, and he has all the proper skills in place to be a World Champion. Kennedy does as well, and neither of them need a fricken case to "accelerate" their progress.
And if you want the honest opinion of what I feel they should've and very easily could've done.. Indy Punk gets challenged for his case. He loses. (Kennedy did) Its
THAT easy to get him out of the picture. So clearly some moron was sitting in creative waiting and wanting to do this with Punk for a while. And
THATS the worst part about it. Someone actually thought this would be fun.
The whole gimmick abt MITB is that the winner relies heavily on opportunities, rather than relying on their own strength. Therefore altho' u guys lament that he's a fluke, I think he is SUPPOSED to act somewhat like a fluke. It all depends whether WWE wants to build him up more credibly by winning high profile matches against Cena/JBL/Batista etc. But I'm guessing they'll play out this fluke angle and have him lose the title at the next PPV.
Rob Van Dam was a face and told John Cena when and where he'd be cashing in. He said it'd be extreme rules and it'd be his backyard at the E.C.W. p.p.v.. but the fact is, Cena had the time and ability to get ready for it.
Punk was the first face, to cash in in a heelish manner. And it was the ONLY logical way they could make it believable. (honestly, believable with a scripted product) If Punk would've walked out in the beginning of the show and said.. I'm cashing this in.. he would've lost by the end of the night. So yes, Indy Punk's victory was a major fluke. But he'll either be molded to death into some type of Champion.. or they'll drag Raw down with him, until they give up and toss the strap back on Cena for an "easy fix."
And thats likely what'll happen. They see Punk as a "no lose" situation. If he drags ratings down, all they have to do is toss the title back to Cena and he'll instantly create fan-fare with all the little kiddies who'll flock to buy thousands upon thousands of his crap, because he'll have new crap to sell after becoming Champ again.
Bottomline.. Punk will find his name in the "most forgotten Champions of all time" thread by the end of the year.
