CM Punk WINS The WWE Championship!!! Cena fired???

[DJZ888]

That was one of the greatest promos in wrestling history. I`m not sure if it was real or fake but the bottom line is it was fucking legendary. Punk is just a God among men in the WWE, and that shoot solidified it.

The great thing is that he was actually telling the truth. He was expressing his opinions in the world of pro wrestling where that is taboo. That shit came straight from the heart. It sucks that they cut his mic because I wanted it to keep going. Simply amazing.

MITB is gonna epic.

 

[THEpapachamp]

Hope you enjoyed it people.. because we will never see a promo like that EVER again

and I don't know where people get the numbers from but the ICW takes up more then 10% of the WWE fanbase.

I'm pretty sure everyone in the world in are the internet, I'm pretty sure John Cena's facebook and twitter have over 1,000,000 followers..

I'm pretty sure there are 1,000s of sites just like these with 100,000's of users

I'm just sayin..

We want Punk, we always have.. this could be Vince's way of seeing for himself

 

[thedon2001]

I think it will after this. You're right to an extent though, the internet shits it's pants doesn't mean ratings will go up because the IWC is such a small portion. It does stir interest though.

Another way you know it's a work is he didn't let the IWC cheer, he tried to keep his heat by ripping "you people that cheer me" also. Such an awesome promo.

Absolutely stirs interest which i'm sure the WWE wants, hence why i believe they continued to let him speak, but when he started to cross some lines this promo was marked to get cut off.

The real deal is we all know CM Punk is leaving and is unhappy. We all know Cena approached McMahon to work and angle with Punk. We all know CM Punk is burnt out and feels he isnt promoted correctly, and we all know CM Punk wants to keep the rights to his name. CM Punk also knows that at this point in his career his best place for success and longevity is the WWE. He will absolutely fall off in another company as they dont have the global exposure that the WWE possesses. The bottom line about Punk is he's never been the guy who can sell our arenas and the WWE knows that. The problem is Punk thinks he can, ala Kurt Angle in TNA, Jarrett in WCW/TNA, or any other WWE reject who ended up in TNA. Punk's a great villan, but could never be the babyface which is where the top dollars are in this demographic and rating scale.

Punk will be a hot trend for a while once he leaves and signs with another company, but again his anger for the WWE will be his story line, so again WWE dominates wrestling even if the wrestler leaves. The WWE is just too powerful and Vince is the greatest promoter, whether people like to agree or not. Give it 2-3 months after Punk leaves and again his popularity will fall. No casual fan knew Punk before he came to the WWE. The WWE made him a star and that star will fade once he leaves.

It was probably a worked shoot. It's ironic too cuz I was just reading earlier today about when Eric Bischoff did a worked shoot back in 2006. Same shit let him talk until his mic was cut off and he was escorted by security.

CM Punk's mic got cut off and you saw how abruptly they cut off Raw? It was fucking EPIC and quiet honest I'm not 100% sure if it was a worked shoot. As the weeks have gone by I've been really feeling Punk's mic work and the promo he did tonight was amazing. And he spoke the absolute truth. This is how most fans have been feeling and he poured his heart out. Kudos to him, job well done.

 

[GI Cake]

So marking out to Punk right now. Wherever he goes he will be treated as a god among the professional wrestling community. Even the likes of Erick Bischoff or Hulk Hogan will clean his shoes for a chance to have him rejoin TNA.

Weither his promo was a shoot or not, it has everyone in shock. The Best promo of the decade.

 

[Gregor_Samsa]

Maybe the script for the promo was approved up to a point, then punk, having a live mic, decided to go a little further with his comments towards the end and after slamming vince, stephanie and triple h and about to tell a story about vince mcmahon they decided the best thing to do would be to cut his mic and do a sopranos style ending. It sounded like he was about to lay into the anti-bully campaign

 

[mareek]

The ball is in TNA's court right now, Punk is the hottest thing in wrestling right now and they have the opprotunity to pick him up. But knowing Tna they'll probably bring him in and fuck up this momentum.

 

[TheDarkCloud]

From WWE.com:

Monday Night Raw’s abrupt conclusion last night was not due to technical difficulties. The decision to suddenly end the broadcast in that manner was made by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who gave this quote to WWE.com:

“CM Punk was suspended indefinitely for his unprofessional conduct as soon as Raw went off the air.”

With his WWE contract expiring on July 17, one can only assume that this suspension effectively terminates CM Punk’s tenure with WWE.

Front page, post shows only the WWE logo. Now I'm DEFINITELY unsure as to whether that was real or not...

 

[James]

That was simply amazing. Why?

Shawn Michaels is/was my favourite and the best of all time. Seeing him and punk face to face just told me that something was going to happen.

It was almost like Shawn was saying, "Now it is your turn to be the best in the company(since Chris Jericho is taking a hiatus)"

Now it is a mixture of Punk and Miz who are my new favourite but I have to say that promo was simply amazing.

My jaw was dropped the whole time and when he took the jab at Vince, Steph, and HHH that is when I lost it. I was like wait? This can't be a real shoot. Then they cut the mic and I was like, "oh shit Punk has screwed himself." Vince is trying to trick me and I have been watching his product since 95' ish.

Is that the best promo ever? Hell no, I can pull out a lot of HBK promo's and it can compete(I lost my smile says hello )

But that is the best promo I have seen in the past couple of years. Miz's promo from last year where he was talking aboot how he was treated has been knocked down.


I can't wait to see how this plays out.

 

[TheMainMan32]

This was absolutely NOT real. This was a worked shoot. The nWo used to do worked shoot promos all of the time, as did the Klique. Nowdays, the WWE has a strangle-hold on any and all promos. The instant Punk started going out of bounds, his mic would've been cut, and the camera would've been taken off of him, and back to the announcer's table because the WWE wouldn't have wanted you to even see what he was mouthing.

Anyways, just my 2 cents. Phenomenal promo nonetheless.

...And Vince is a fucking genius, no matter what the IWC says.

 

[Xaq57]

Obviously not a real shoot. They edited him say douche bags or at least what it looked like him saying douche bag. However, that was great. Not "The best ever", but one of the best in probably the last few years. Good for them and whatever is going on...because for the first time since the Nexus was introduced I actually WANT to watch Raw next week.

 

[WWEIsLife2]

Wow. 3000 people viewing this thread. WWE has a winning segment. Anyone want to bet that TNA is gonna try and copy this somehow. Not trying to bash TNA, but, almost everytime WWE does something right, TNA jumps on it and tries to re-create that magic somehow. If only TNA could just create their own magic...

LOL don't give TNA any ideas because it wouldn't surprise if they saw or heard this by now and are thinking OMG we gotta do this now because it worked so well in WWE.

The Promo was something else and I can't wait to see where this goes. Damn im gonna miss MITB though cuz i will be on Vacation.

 

[Mr.Perfect23]

Former wrestlers etc. are going with it as if it was a worked shoot on Twitter praising Punk...MVP is saying good job you did it, as if to say he was planning on doing this and he agreed with what he was saying....SO WAS IT REAL OR NOT?..what the hell man? When has Vince ever tended to the IWC or DIe hards like us that would know about anything CM Punk was just talking about. TVPGers got the message, but have no idea who Cabana is or Lauranitis and were probably lost at times for that promo. Not mentioning TNA doesnt mean that it's a work. He didnt mention TNA because he probably doesnt want to go there. For the people saying it was a work because they green lit everything he said....who's to say he doesn't just turn around and say whatever the hell he wants? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? DOES HE STAY OR DOES HE REALLY LEAVE>???....AND IF HE'S REALLY LEAVING WHY WOULD VINCE GIVE HIM THIS HUGE ANGLE TO SEND HIM OFF? HOW DOES HE PROFIT FROM 3 WEEKS OF PUNK SHOOTING ABOUT THE COMPANY AND THEN LEAVING?

 

[Xemmy]

Holy Shit.

That was the best shoot interview I've ever seen. And it's such a shame, because chances are, it comes at a terrible cost- we may never see CM Punk on WWE television ever again.
I'm hoping- even praying- that the promo was a work. If it was, it was the most brilliant move Vince has made since the Nexus. It wasn't though. It was just too real.
If it's a work- consider me 5 years old again, because this sure as hell looks real.

The mentioning of other companies, Brock, Heyman, and The Rock was so raunchy and I was marking out and fearing for CM Punk's career at the same time.

 

[ECW Sandman]

That promo was classic hell it was better then Joey Styles ''Quitting'' shoot promo and Paul Heyman's at ECW One Night Stand 05 promo CM love him or hate him that promo was FUCKING Mind blowing basically tell the boss and the company to go fuck themselves I have to give it to CM Punk what he said was true Brock Lesner Cena kissing Vince's ass to Dwayne Johnson I have to give props to CM BRAVO BRAVO .

 

[jmh1971nyr]

Oh come on anyone who thinks they wouldn’t announce his suspension right away! How many times have you heard Vince being such a control freak he is yelling at announcers through their headsets all the time. As for the triple treat match right away, it’s the same one they had a few weeks ago so it’s not like they said HEY we need a new #1 contender match.

I don’t know it this was a work or shoot but to think Vince or the WWE wouldn’t put something together with in minutes is dumb. Of course they could just like if a wrestler is injured, the show must go on.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

From WWE.com:

Only furthermore makes it obvious that it wasnt real.


It utterly wasnt, and has Triple H's fingerprints all over it. DX used to break down the wall on a consistent basis. If this wasnt planned, they would have cut his mic much sooner than they did.

They are just letting Punks star shine as brightly as it possibly can, the smarky shooting anti hero.

Its all a work, to make that character get over, and he will lose to Cena, clean, in all likelyhood. Even still, what an awesome, UNIQUE (for once) direction to go in.

 

[I_got_bant_for_idiocy]

hahahah woooooooooow i want to see vinces face when this shit went down... real or fake i dont care best fuckin PROMO SHOOT IN YEARRRRRS!!!!!!!!! i though vince was a billionaire

 

[seatwisted]

Hey folks.. First time post-er here (At least on WZ.) But i've been reading for years. go me.

ANYWAY.

You know, the fact that he was wearing an Austin shirt kinda leads me to believe that this is entirely a work (not that i think Vince would just let him go out and say whatever he wants to begin with), But honestly.. If you're going to "shoot" and get in one last 'hurrah', why would you promote the company's product that you're speaking out against?

My prediction is this: He's already got a new deal inked, Will have a feud with Austin going in to WM 28 (Austin AND Rock both wrestling.. er.. Sports-Entertaining?) and will "Leave" the company for a few months after the ppv - likely time off for some nagging injuries nobody has heard about, or just to rest up.

Now, as to if he's going to take the strap or not? Picture this: There was talk at one point of unifying the WWE & WHC Belts.. (Again, this is entirely hypothetical) - if he WERE to win the strap and "leave" the company, this very well could set up for an excuse to go back to one belt. Although I would probably be as screwed as the Creative team to try and explain that one when he returns.. But that's why i'm not in Creative

This could also be a setup for VKM to screw over punk, to try and recreate the magic that was the Montreal Screwjob, or to "make up" for it.

And as for the "Indefinite Suspension" - Yeah. I call total BS on that one, They wouldn't dice the ME of the ppv that quick.

 

[ralphie9181]

Vince was a billionaire, then they went public, and then the business tanked, now he is a millionaire. Maybe if they keep doing fun things like Punk's promo tonight he may once again be a billionaire, but I have little faith they can follow through on this angle properly.

 

[Stephen11]

If you think about it, that promo was VERY long especially for something that's "unacceptable". It has to be a storyline but damn, did it seem real. WWE removed his Facebook, his match listing under the MITB PPV list and posted apologies everywhere.

Think about it, if they had to end RAW abruptly due to unacceptable behavior then he would be fired not simply suspended "indefinitely".

 

[radec]

This promo was fucking INSANE!! i dont know if it was a shoot or a work or a shoot work OR W/E!! The thing that matter is that its was EPIC!! He basicly said that to get to the top you need to kiss ass and that WWE is in a spiral hell due to mcmahons that was so epic. THe mic turning off and that ending made the moment too and props to punk for that holy promo. IM HOPING it was planned becuase if it wasent bye bye punk for ALONG time... punk is GOD!

 

[ITrippedTheShockmaster]

Worked shoot? Of course. WWE immediately put up a release on their website stating that Punk was suspended, and also mentioned that since his contract runs out July 17, "one can only assume that this suspension effectively terminates CM Punk's tenure with WWE."

Whatever. They're building this one up big.

Even this was a true unplanned shoot, VKM would have stopped it way earlier.

Without a doubt, they're playing this up and giving Punk a chance to be THE heel on RAW. From my view, he's doing a great job. He may have taken some personal liberties in shooting so hard on Johnny Ace, Steph, Trip and even Rock, but even if he did, it's working perfectly. The common fan doesn't know who he's talking about, but those who know the business had to be impressed that they'd drag those people out by name or implication. Shooting on Cena was easy, and Cena's the type of guy who'll run with it as well.

Punk is absolute gold, both in ring and on the mic, and I hope they do work something out where he winds up staying.

I don't mark out much, but I have to say I'm impressed. Best shoot or worked shoot in a long time.

 

[kevberg]

the stuff Punk said would have , in real life, curled Vinces toes----slamming the network, his daughter, HHH,.....

He wouldn't have announced things on WWE.com that soon unless they had it ready to go..which says it was a work.

Think, not only would half the locker room that he insulted would've wanted to beat his ass, HHH and Vince would've had his ass in a office room before he got to the showers.

Punk returning with the WWE Championship would be easy to book. Picture this: Punk wins the WWE Championships, and leaves (something no one would think that they would ever see). The WWE has a King Of The Ring-style tournament with the winner becoming Champion. Some time down the line, Punk returns saying that he was the REAL WWE Champion, and that the current champ is illegitimate because he was only champ because Punk left, leading to a huge match at the next PPV and a title unification.

Pulled that outta my butt, so if it's shit, you know why.
