C.M. Punk Wins The WHC

[DerringerEagle]

Agreed, but this was also before he was champion. Triple H was similar in the late 90's after he turned heel; a guy you didn't want to be on the bad side of. It wasn't long after he won the title though that he ran around with cronies, wussing his way through title fights. Like Triple H this is Edge's role now.. the cowardly weiner who needs his cronies. I think tonight was about letting Punk walk out looking like a champion (he has been jobbed out for about 3 months now). Edge and friends will have plenty of time to Gang bang Punk later on (fingers crossed).

True, but at least Triple H had a toughness about him that he could get it done on his own. Then came the sledgehammer and the whole "I cripple people" attitude, which I hope they go with Edge. I want to see him be a lot meaner and sadistic in the future.

I think CM Punk is just keeping the belt warm for the Undertaker, who will return as the American Badass the night after the Great American Bash. He will get a title match right away, because there will be a new commisioner that night who will be making a big splash. That commisioner...

Stone Cold.

I think the whole CM Punk as champ thing was dreamed up literally five minutes before Night of Champions. It reeks of a thrown together storyline that's just a stop gap for something bigger and better down the road.

Alright dude you're crazy. Stone Cold ain't coming back and if he did it would be for like one night only. That would be pretty cool though. But I could see Undertaker coming back as the American Badass. If he did come back it would be at the Great American Bash not raw. He would maybe get a title later and would begin a long title run. That would be awsome!

 

[Rebel2K8]

I will be the first to say I am vex as hell about what happened to Edge on Raw. He's my favorite and CM Punk taking the title from him was teh last thing I expected to happen. But after thinking I realised this is the best thing to happen to WWE in a while. Watching Raw is like taking a breath of fresh air and now the sky's the limit on how far raw will go. As for Smackdown, that's simple, Edge will now set his sets on Triple H's WWE Title and then we'll see what happens. Personally, I'll be rooting for Edge but that's just me. Someone in creative needs to be praised because finally the E in WW stands for Entertainment again.

 

[WWEFan2000]

Wow! When Edge was talking, I thought CM Punk would come down and challenge him. But I didn't think he would use it tonight. I thought he would challenge Edge to a match at GAB. Then I saw Batista and I thought "Batista-Edge rematch at GAB". Then we see CM Punk and he becomes new champ!

Even though I don't think he is ready for it, I was going crazy and loved the surprise and I'm an Edge fan. He might not be ready but I like CM Punk so I won't complain about him winning the WHC. I can't wait to see what happens next week. Going to be interesting to see who he challenges next week. I'm thinking Punk vs Cena va JBL at GAB but we will see.

 

[CDR]

Yeah I see a JBL vs. Punk vs. Cena at GAB. I see Cena making JBL tap then Punk saying he deserves a rematch but Batista comes out and says he wants a match. Then maybe someone else like Mysterio or Jericho or HBK comes out, says they haven't had a match in while and deserves one. Then donnn......donnn. The return of the Deadman! Then he takes out everyone in sight and at Summerslam we have an Elimination Chamber match for the world hevyweight title between Cena, JBL, Punk, Batista, Rey or Y2J or HBK, and The Undertaker. Awesome match!

 

[tha_icon85]

all in all this was by far one of the best raws in recent memory. Punk winning the gold giving edge a taste of his on medicine. this type of programming makes u wanna tune in next week. And big up to edge for hopefully starting a trend and help putting over a young star. now if they can repeat the suspense and add a lil more wrestling we may be seeing the begin stages of the next boom in pro wrestling. I dnt even watch smackdown on a regular basis but this not the draft makes me wanna tune in this friday.

side note: I see now why vince brought back ecw. u can give the young guys time to grow while build there fan base and when u wanna put the trigger, POW u got young established guy with a fanbase to add excitement to the higher shows new and fresh storylines and years worth of feud wit the vets and each other. heat and velocity come have never accomplish this. in a matter of a week u got two former ecw brand guy wit gold on the flagship show.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

This is a fucking outrage, a travesty of justice. C.M. Punk? Raw Heavyweight Champion? The guy was jobbing to the Tag Team Champions of E.C.W. just a week or two ago, and hes now suddenly the World Heavyweight Champion?

Do you have ANY idea how incredible C.M. Punk just made Mark Henry look as World Champion? Any.. the guy is shit, hes beneath shit, hes horrible and to even allow him to SEE the World Championship is bullshit.

I'm outraged and pissed off bar none because he took it from Edge, the ONE true Champion that meant something in the company. So now what.. Triple H. is the only true dominate Champion. Mark Henry has no opponents that can match him, and Punk needs to figure out how to escape every match he'll ever be in for the rest of his days as Champion.. because the Punk ass bastard couldn't find victory in a game of connect four, if he was playing a blind person.

Just think of how stupid the Great American Bash Main Event would sound. John Cena.. John Bradshaw Layfield.. C.M. Punk. Seriously. People are going to question whether or not hes a new time keeper, because Punk's name just has NO belonging anywhere near the World Heavyweight Championship picture.

 

[FoleyIsGod]

Ok, I have been seemingly predicting the writing teams decisions lately. First up was the elimination 4 way at Backlash for the title. Now, the wierd thing is, I was saying to my friends before it got booked was "Why don't the WWe have elimination 4 ways anymore? They were pretty cool and one of my favourite match types, albeit on the games only.

So imagine my surpirse this morning when Punkwon the belt. Only hours earlier, I had been saying Cm Punk is probabaly ging to cash in tonight to make Raw have on of the big belts. And lo and behold, he did it.

I had not read any spoilers of any kind, I just get feelings stuff is about to happen.

Im scared

I'm not real big on Punk either but I think he can be champion atleast for a little while. I don't think this will last but I am impressed with the WWE for pulling it off. And you didn't like it at all? Wow

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Hell no I didn't like it. Why the fuck would I like it. It was the absolute worst thing to happen since Mark Henry winning the E.C.W. Championship. At least Henry won in a respectful manner, in which he defeated another half assed Champion.

Edge was, is and will always be a great World Heavyweight Champion. The man went through 4 monthes of shit storylines with the Undertaker, all to get his Championship back because it was widely decided that HE (Edge) could carry the Smackdown brand and HE (Edge) would be a great Champion that would be better suited to hold the title, than chase it.

Now all the sudden, because Triple H. comes to Smackdown with the W.W.E. Title.. Edge has to give up his, and to Indy Punk none the less? Seriously.. just give the fucking strap to Colin Delaney, right fricken now.. because thats how piss poor it was.

W.W.E. is bottomfeeding on W.C.W. angles to try and scrap up any type of rating they can. Remember when they stripped the Championship in 2000, then had Booker T v. Jeff Jarrett to crown a new Champion? And it was suppose to be between the younger talent/the talent that wanted to be Champion.

W.W.E. is doing that very same angle, right fucking now. The difference.. Edge was a deserving, great and unbelievable Champion. He got screwed.. in the ass.. harder than Nick Hogan during his first night in prison!

Whats worse.. Indy Punk couldn't carry ratings if he was delivering the paper the ratings are printed on, from the mail box to Vince McMahon's office.

You know how this will go down? People will love it because the Money in the Bank was cashed in and the holder won the Championship. In 6 monthes, you randomly begin asking people who that holder was.. and the answer you'll likely get is.. "Uhm, wasn't it suppose to be Jeff Hardy?" Because Indy fucking Punk wasn't even suppose to be in this damn storyline. I hate this shit.

EDIT: You know what this was like.. stepping in dog shit. Sure, its surprising.. and you'll reply with "What the fuck" almost instantly when it happens because you'll be so shocked.. but it isn't the GOOD kinda shock. Its dog shit!

 

[Monkey_Mania]

I'm kind of torn on this. On one hand we get a major shock. On the other hand we get a pile of shit, like Will so eloquently said. I just hope to god this is either the start of a heel turn for Punk. Or he is a transitional champion. He is so bland. I mean my god. They couldve just gave the belt to a cardboard box.

He looks so out of place with that gorgeous belt too. It's kind of like how Triple H looks with the spinner title, except its worse. He never garners a crowd reaction worthy of anything. He may have gotten one after he cashed in but then it dies right down again. If it was anyone else they wouldve gotten heat all the way through the night. A great short term move, but if it lasts long term they will only be shooting themselves in the foot.

Yes Edge is definatley a way better champion than Punk will ever be and the reason Punk won is because Batista beat him up first! In a one on one match Edge would whoop him up all over the floor.

lol that was hilarious and you're absolutly right. And in a perfect world HHH would be the one getting screwed. Edge should still have the belt around his waist but surley he will soon. His whole la famila crap will screw HHH out of the title then you'll be happy again.

And people do know who CM Punk is. He was deffinatley the most popular on ECW (even though nobody watches it). If they gave him a few more weeks then he would be more popular and a better champion.

Now would you rather have Cena winning at NOC, bringing the belt to raw, and keep winning like he always does and make it boring? Or have Edge lose the title to Batista at NOC? And it doesn't matter because Edge will get a title match later and if they're smart he wins.

 

[RSM700]

Sounds like a bunch of wrestling fans to me. Now I'm not including those that dislike Punk, but those who suport him. I've been hearing for months now (maybe even longer) on how WWE needs new people in the main event and title picture. And CM Punk's name was always brought up "They should put the belt on Punk" "Punk should be champion, or Jeff Hardy, or Mr. Kennedy" Just to see a change. Now Punk wins and all of sudden those who were eagert to see him as Champ are like "yeah but he's not ready" Seriously make up your damn minds. Wrestling fans could never be pleased, today I realise that. And to those who hate Punk as Champ, think what you would be posting if Cena,JBL,Batista or whoever had won, everybody would be like "no not this again."

And a belt had to be brought to RAW, of course it's not HHH's, but if it was some of the new anti-Punk cruisiders wouldn't have mind. Some would have even been like "good, we're seeing some change"

Personally I marked when he won, and marked out again when he retained becuase I thought he was going to lose to JBL.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Yes Edge is definatley a way better champion than Punk will ever be and the reason Punk won is because Batista beat him up first! In a one on one match Edge would whoop him up all over the floor.

The simple fact is, Edge has already defeated Indy Punk in a regular match. Punk won via following the ways of Edge himself.. and thats it. Punk was the first "face" to cash in in a heelish fashion, because the guy has been jobbing to everyone for the past year.

Sadly, I predict him to actually go on to defeat Edge in a single's rematch, merely to prove he isn't a fluke Champion. I just hope whoever wrote this shit will get off the crack and realize he very much IS a fluke Champion. Hes currently holding Jeff Hardy's original storyline.

lol that was hilarious and you're absolutly right. And in a perfect world HHH would be the one getting screwed. Edge should still have the belt around his waist but surley he will soon. His whole la famila crap will screw HHH out of the title then you'll be happy again.

La' Familia isn't crap, its one of the best stables (if not practically the only) in the W.W.E. right now. Vickie Guerrero is one of the best heels in all of the W.W.E. right now, thats how hot her and Edge are in this storyline.

So clearly it makes perfect fucking sense to cost Edge his Main Event Championship Especially to a guy who was being upstaged by a midget a few weeks ago.

And people do know who CM Punk is. He was deffinatley the most popular on ECW (even though nobody watches it). If they gave him a few more weeks then he would be more popular and a better champion.

What the hell? Thats about the equal to saying you're the smartest kid with down syndrome. C.M. Punk wasn't the highest rated/most watched Champion E.C.W. had either.. John Morrison was.

Let me give you an example of the pop Punk gets.

[youtube]4yto_589gYI[/youtube]

Do you hear that amazing pop? NO, you sure as hell don't. Because there was none.. until after he won. At which point everyone in that arena collectively stepped in dog shit.

Now would you rather have Cena winning at NOC, bringing the belt to raw, and keep winning like he always does and make it boring? Or have Edge lose the title to Batista at NOC? And it doesn't matter because Edge will get a title match later and if they're smart he wins.

Yes.. Cena.. anything but Indy Punk. If Cena defeated Triple H., it would build Triple H. v. Edge for the World Championship toward either Summerslam, Survivor Series or Wrestlemania. At which point Edge would continue being exactly what he was.. a very dominate Champion.

Now you have Indy Punk, who'll suddenly make Mark Henry's E.C.W. Championship title defenses seem worth something. Congrats needs to go to the W.W.E., for making E.C.W. not so shitty anymore.

No they won't face each other again because Edge is on Smackdown and Punk is on raw. And if they did the only way he'd win would be someway that's not completely clean.

La Familia is crap because all they do is help Edge get crappy wins. Edge hasn't won without them in a hell of a long time. They're just there to ensure Edge gets a cheap win.

The crowd got excited as he came out. Nothing like Stone Cold or something but I think that win made him way more popular with the fans. The crowd did get loud when he came out though

And if Cena won it would be the same old same old where nobody would beat him it would be boring. Punk becoming champ on raw was good because they can go somewhere with this.

[TheOneBigWill]

No they won't face each other again because Edge is on Smackdown and Punk is on raw. And if they did the only way he'd win would be someway that's not completely clean.

Vickie Guerrero is still the General Manager. (of Smackdown, albeit) Edge was the former World Heavyweight Champion. Most Champions have the right to have a rematch, regardless of brands. Punk doubtfully will jump right into Batista, J.B.L. and Cena in any type of multi-man match.

They'll wanna match him against someone that would at least be believable for him to defeat. Edge is the winner in that losing game, simply because Edge is the smallest guy that could compare to Punk's cruiserweight stature.

Edge will demand his return title match. Vickie (as the only GM, outside of Teddy who has no authority over Raw or SD) will pull strings and make the match for the Great American Bash. I'm sure of this. If Edge doesn't get a rematch, then its even more bullshit.. as Punk would be considered the world's biggest fluke Champion, even worse than David Arquette.

La Familia is crap because all they do is help Edge get crappy wins. Edge hasn't won without them in a hell of a long time. They're just there to ensure Edge gets a cheap win.

Edge is heel, hes the leader of that stable.. what the hell do you expect them to do during his matches? Cheer him on from the locker room? Play checkers? Of course they're gonna help him win, thats what factions and stables do.. they help each other.

The whole point of that stable is to support Edge as their "King." So naturally he won't have to win matches on his own, because he has 4 other guys and a General Manager at his side.

The crowd got excited as he came out. Nothing like Stone Cold or something but I think that win made him way more popular with the fans. The crowd did get loud when he came out though

The crowd was excited because Batista just whipped the unholy shit outta Edge, who didn't see the back-attack coming. Punk came out, and half the people in the arena likely turned to the people on their sides, asking who he even was.

Punk got a pop for winning, and the fans chanted the 3-count for two reasons.

1. Everyone loves Championships changing hands. Hornswoggle would've received a bigger pop than Punk, if he'd of won the Tag Team titles last night.

2. Moronic fans love to count with the official. W.W.E. is in the works to start up a Sesame Street co-corporation production with the Count. It'll be great, he'll come out with Indy Punk so he can properly count how many marks he has in the crowd. It'll never get above 10, so it'll be golden.

And if Cena won it would be the same old same old where nobody would beat him it would be boring. Punk becoming champ on raw was good because they can go somewhere with this.

Yeah, straight down. W.W.E. hasn't officially hit rockbottom in the ratings department.. I think they're currently trying to see how bad it might be, and believe me.. this should do the trick.

The ratings might fluke up for a week or two because people will be tuning in to see if the crazy bastard actually won.. but in the end, it won't last. Punk's reign shouldn't logically continue beyond Great American Bash, let alone Summerslam.

At this point, I welcome John Cena being Champion over Indy Punk. Seriously. At least I KNOW what Cena brings to the table. I might hate that too, but at least I know it won't suck as much as Punk's run.

 

[mrpaul]

Now I'm not a Punk hater, I actually think he's pretty good, and i enjoy his matches with Morrison. But WWE have seriously dropped the ball here.
I'm not saying we dont need fresh faces in the WHC title scene, but there are other wrestlers who have performed better over the last year, who have entertained us more and who have earned the right to be WHC over Punk. Sadly, all of the wrestlers who deserve the belt are on, or have been drafted to, Smackdown. Hardy, Kennedy, even MVP.
Theres no reason why the two Championship belts couldnt have co-existed on the same brand for a while. We couldve had a great champion vs champion match at Summerslam.
Now dont get me wrong, I'm not a HHH hater either (yet) but why should Edge have to relinquish his title, and be made to look really weak (and make batista look good in the process) just so HHH can be the uber-lord over on Smackdown? Edge put on some great matches to win that title, and the TLC at ONS was brilliant.
I cant see Punk holding on to the belt for long, and sadly it will end up on either Batista, Cena or Taker/Orton when they return.
I can only hope that Edge wins the WWE Championship or Hardy finally gets put over (when it actually matters) by HHH. I was hoping to see some great Kennedy/Edge matches after the draft happened. No doubt I'll be disappointed once again.

you internet fans make me sick, enjoy the moment ........rejuvenation...finally young talent is being showcased.

While I greatly welcome the Triple H./Edge feud.. Indy Punk has no flippin' business in the Main Event.

For the love of everything pure, don't you people get it?! Indy Punk won Jeff Hardy's storyline because of Hardy's mistake. W.W.E. didn't have the heart to tell Punk he sucked, so they just went with it.

This whole thing is one bad mistake after another, and creative should've nutted up and told Indy Punk the truth.. in which he absolutely sucks. The guy couldn't even carry E.C.W., how on earth is he going to be the top guy on their (originally) best show?

has anyone realized Samoa Joe and CM Punk are both world champions at the same time...the future has finally arrived

Yeah.. and the future is looking majorly fucked up at this point.

Average Joe and Indy Punk are collectively destroying the business. I didn't know R.O.H. bought out the two main companies and were now in control of how storylines and Championships were decided.

enjoy the moment internet fans, two of the biggest guys to leave the indies are kings of there companies

I got news for you.. Indy Punk, World Heavyweight Champion or not.. is no where NEAR the top of the company. If you were to rank them right now, he'd be somewhere around Colin Delaney, only slightly above.. because Punk has one more victory this year than Delaney.

Seriously.. fricken Punk fans.. the guy is crap, shit, disgusting. I'm normally willing to at least give everyone a chance. But Punk's chance was E.C.W. Champion. If he couldn't carry that title with any purpose, how in the world is he suppose to look like a credible legit. World Heavyweight Champion?

 

[Monkey_Mania]

you internet fans make me sick, enjoy the moment ........rejuvenation...finally young talent is being showcased.

For one if we make you sick dont come here. Secondly I am glad that new talent are being utilized. But they had to pick Punk. Who is so bland that his talent never shines. What about Jeff Hardy. I know he's on Smackdown now but he is more over than Punk is and far more talented. It's a travesty.

dont get mad at punk for going over edge, we will be entertained with a great edge HHH feud in no time

I'm not mad at Punk. Surely creative could've had somebody else take the title from Edge. Now don't get me wrong I like surprises. But this will be a bad one in a few weeks. They should've had Edge hold onto the title. Make a more interesting fued with Triple H, have a title unification. Then have either one champion, or set up a tournament to crown a new World Champion.

has anyone realized Samoa Joe and CM Punk are both world champions at the same time...the future has finally arrived
enjoy the moment internet fans, two of the biggest guys to leave the indies are kings of there companies

If the future is in the hands of both of these guys there will be no more wrestling. They will drive the business into the ground. Both are so bland they make Matt Hardy look like The Rock. Two overrated pieces of crap holding titles that they should never compete for.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Okay, seriously.. I'm going to just throw this out there and you Punk marks can eat it up with a spoon.

Contenders: How in the wide world of Wrestling Entertainment, did Indy Punk just become a World Heavyweight Champion before guys like M.V.P., Mr. Kennedy, and Jeff Hardy?

By no means am I saying Hardy (with his mistakes) deserves the honor. But at least Hardy is a proven gold-mine with fans and high ratings. You put the strap on him, and hes suddenly gonna improve the show, because everyone will be flocking from the woodworks to see him.

Mr. Kennedy and M.V.P. are the two true Future Superstars in this business. Just because Indy Punk won a fluke Money in the Bank case.. that meant they couldn't of played out a storyline in which Kennedy took it from Punk, then cashed in on Edge to get revenge for Edge taking Kennedy's case and Championship from Taker a year ago?

I mean seriously, think about it. You have great storyline opportunities in the palm of your hand.. and some moron on creative has a brain fart and mouthes the words "Indy Punk".

 

[Minor League Brian]

I'm not going to lie, but I marked the fuck out when I heard Punk one. Thats the ONLY time I've been more exciting watching the program after reading a spoiler. I know he's not excatly the best candidate, but you know what...he's new

And for all those people bitchin' and moanin'; think about this. Think about all the people who can beat Punk for the title. Mysterio can win it, MVP could win it, Hardy could easily win it, Kennedy, the list goes on. Yeah, most of them are on other Brands but seriously; at the very least you have NO IDEA who'll beat him because it could literally be ANYBODY! And every match he'll go into you'll be expecting him to lose the title, a reverse Cena.

I love this, I'd rather have him then Triple H and although I love Edge; Creative's killed his character and I've found myself bored of him lately. He's just to scared, and its almost seemed if La Familia has slowly been written out and the focus falls just on Vicki.

And every match he'll go into you'll be expecting him to lose the title, a reverse Cena.

I whole-heartedly agree with this. Indy Punk is so awful as Champion, he is literally a sit and wait to see how challenges him and has the first un-interrupted match first. Because in all fairness, thats who would likely defeat him and win the Championship.

The worst thing of it is.. if the title really does go back to John Cena from this position.. then we go from shit bottom, to not that great aftermath. But the fact, again, is Punk is very unproven and does not for anything deserve that spot.

You hear all these people moaning and complaining about the new guys not getting their due. Well, Punk got one hell of a due.. and I guarantee you he did not, does not, and will not deserve it. He'll run Raw into the ground as Champion. A Champion is suppose to be someone you feel could be a threat with the title. Someone you believe is worthy of the position. Punk is a cruiserweight at best. If they wanted to place the title on someone small, give it to Mysterio.

Then have Punk drop the MITB case. The assumed original plan for for Punk to drop the case back to Hardy anyways. Someone on creative must of forgot that step and skipped ahead to "holder cashes in on Edge" in a misunderstood error. As clearly something is wrong with discovering Punk just won the fricken World Heavyweight Championship.

I love this, I'd rather have him then Triple H and although I love Edge; Creative's killed his character and I've found myself bored of him lately. He's just to scared, and its almost seemed if La Familia has slowly been written out and the focus falls just on Vicki.

Thats because Vickie Guerrero pulls in massive heel heat. But guess what, she does it, because she keeps Edge in the Championship picture. Thats ALL she does. So Indy Punk's fluke win will even effect the way fans react to her now.

This isn't good for business. It was shock-value and good for what it was worth, but in all seriousness.. Punk should've lost to J.B.L. He would've made history for all the right reasons based on who he is.. a loser. The guy was jobbing to everyone this year.. now hes suddenly the leader? I don't think so.

 

[JaJaBings]

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'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.

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.

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.
