CM Punk must be doing some serious ass kissing

[Slyfox696]

It's being reported that Vince McMahon recently broke from company policy when he allowed CM Punk to use Cult of Personality as his new theme music. WWE policy is generally that the company is not to pay royalties for non-original music.

Makes you wonder if Punk isn't just kissing McMahon's backside but possibly his front too.

 

[Uncle Sam]

No doubt he and Foley double team him on a nightly basis.

 

[Sully]

I'd rather Foley do commentary, get Booker's ass.

 

[The_Grimace]

Either that or vince see a way to make money from it.

Listening to Punk on Bill Simmon's podcast yesterday, I'd be willing to bet there's almost zero chance that Punk has been "kissing ass". You should give it a listen Sly. In fact he literally says in exact words that he doesn't kiss ass and that's why he was initially fed up with how he was being used.

For once Vince, Haitch and company are giving one of the talents a chance to help come up with something creative on their own that involves their character. Been awhile since they've done that and I'm loving it.

Is this the let's see how overly sensitive CM Punk fans can be?

 

[Shocky]

Well it did bump the song on iTunes big time.

Its a 23 year old song that's getting public recognition now thanks to Punk. Hell, Living Coloyr might give them a break for making them relevant once more.

You learn quickly. You should be just fine here.

Watching that gave me chills. Not the official tron, but still.

Allegedly he may be getting former stars like Cliff Compton(Also known as Domino from Deuce 'n' Domino and one of my favourite OVW talents.) signed back because apparently he has more pull now.

 

[The Doctor]

PLEASE BRING BACK DEUCE N DOMINO

PLEASE

 

[Барбоса]

Surely there are plenty of other songs not made by Jim Johnson and co. being used as entrance music?

Or do the likes of Orton, Sheamus, Nexus, Ziggler and others not count as "original"?

I think that's because those songs were specifically made for themes of the wrestlers.

And this is who he wants?

 

[Nate DaMac]

Deuce was a turd.


Hey.

I liked Deuce and Domino. The gimmick was goofy, sure, but they were a solid tag team. They were never going to be a star tag team or anything, but they did a decent job of making other teams look better while still being able to hold their own in a match most of the time.

I loved their entrance and theme music and shit though. That was pure money. Plus hot Cherry on the rollerskates. The more I think about that gimmick the more I like it.

If Punk does have that kind of pull to bring some of his friends in then...here's my shortlist of people he should try to that for:

Samoa Joe
Colt Cabana
Hero/Castagnoli (they're already signed it seems, but I'll throw 'em in anyways)
Sara del fucking Rey
Serena Deeb
Joey Mercury

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

You may be right, although that entire interview felt completely in-character. Everything from Punk claiming he didn't know until the day of the PPV that he was staying to him saying he doesn't kiss ass. Perhaps he doesn't, or perhaps he was trying to get his character over as a badass backstage who doesn't give a fuck.

There are a ton of strong rumors that Colt is going to WWE, and Mercury is working in FCW, I believe.

SDR to WWE would be pretty cool. It would be tragic to see what they would do to her, but it would be worth it for her vs. Nattie, Kong, and/or Beth.

"We Are One" wasn't made specifically for the Nexus. It was originally on the 12 Stones EP "The Only Easy Day was Yesterday" and I had heard it on the radio before The Nexus, which made me all the more psyched that it was used.

2 of Edge's themes, 2 of Takers themes, one of Victoria's and one of Hogan's theme's were commercial.If Victoria was able to nab a highly popular one like TATU's, then Punk getting his shouldn't have been so hard.

Now they just need to make Batista come back using Megadeth's "Crush 'Em".

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Pretty much the exact opposite of Punk kissing McMahons arse.

And this is who he wants?

Have you ever seen cliff Compton as himself in OVW? he's actually really good. He was the only one of his team that had actual mic skills.

Wasn't Punk's last theme commercial too? Or was it made for WWE by Killswitch Engage, rather than made by KE then used by WWE? Bitty confused!

 

[Shadowmancer]

You will probably find that KE wrote it with Jim Johnson

Yeh Jim Johnson gets the credit on iTunes for it right enough http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/wwe-this-fire-burns-cm-punk/id441235634
