Will, I've never said Punk is the main reason the ratings are up, because I don't think that at all. I'd say that the ratings have been higher for two reasons. #1 is that when Punk won the title, it came from practically nowhere. I'd say you could have put anyone in that spot and had the ratings do what they did. It was mixing things up, which I've always thought was why the Attitude Era got the numbers it did. You couldn't miss a show because you didn't know what was going to happen and you were afraid to miss something.

The second reason is that Punk is a fresh face in the main event. The biggest complaint made against Cena is that he's the same week in and week out. Punk came pretty much out of nowhere to become the Raw champion. I think that people started watching Raw more becuase of the shake up. It wasn't the same guys all over again. It was a batch of fresh faces (to that show). Punk certainly isn't the main reason the ratings have been going up, but I think that the spot he's currently in is if that makes sense.
 
I was referring to the jump the ratings went on for I think 2-3 weeks when he first won the belt. Not sure of the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure they did rise a bit.
 
In mark land, I think Punk is a very admiral champion. He holds it like he is proud to hold it and i respect that.


In reality....CNN PiZink sux

Klunder, no offense bud.. but I love how when the ratings are UP.. it's all because of one guy.. yet when they're down, it's all because of another show.

C.M. Punk = the biggest fluke Champion they have. Seriously, the best part of his ONLY Pay per view Championship victory, came off a fluke event in which HE got his head busted open the hard way. That wasn't planned.

I bet hard money he'll even flukishly retain at Unforgiven, by sneaking into the final pinfall victory, as the clock ticks to the finish. My bet is he pins J.B.L. to win in the end, as well, which still means he isn't as good as the other 3. (Batista, Cena or Kane)

As far as the ratings go.. Punk winning the title can't be contributed to being the only reason they went up. Him cashing in MAY be part of the reason people tuned in a week later, however the draft, the new faces in different places, and the new storylines regarding the G.M. as well as HBK/Jericho, Batista/Cena, and Kane/Mysterio all have people tuning in.. so Punk isn't the bread winner in that group. He's just the guy holding the top title, so he's the "face" image people wanna put with why they're gaining more ratings.

When was the last time Punk Main Evented anything? Isn't the ideal goal as Champion, to Main Event a p.p.v., or a televised show?? Sure, he was in the ME on Raw.. but did he win? NO.

But I thought that was the most exciting thing about wrestling was waiting for the ratings to come out, I mean god knows I'd rather look a screen full of numbers than watch an entertaining match, or promo:rolleyes:
