Summerslam 2013- CM Punk VS Brock Lesnar

[Mitch Henessey]

Heyman and Punk will carry this feud on the mic, and I expect Lesnar to make at least one more appearance on Raw (the go home show would make sense) before the actual match at Summerslam.

Everything about the build to Punk/Lesnar has been gold so far. Paul Heyman has always been a mentor, best friend, and somewhat of a father figure to CM Punk, so his seething hatred for Heyman and his betrayal is understandable. The dueling promos and personal jabs between Punk and Heyman have been fantastic so far, and Heyman's delusions for wanting deserved credit for Punk's year long+ WWE Championship reign is a great way to add more fuel to the fire.

I've mellowed on the size difference conundrum between Lesnar and Punk, and a lot of that has to do with me really wanting to see this match. Ironically enough, with help form Heyman and Punk on the mic, the size difference between Lesnar and Punk is one of the main attractions for this match. It's the classic David VS Goliath battle Punk alluded to in his promo tonight with all the talk of defeating and slaying monsters.

With all that said, the size difference between Lesnar and Punk is still something to think about. You can't have Punk beat Lesnar with the Anaconda Vice. A legit UFC Champion losing to a submission from a pro wrestler would flat out destroy Lesnar's character. The GTS? I dunno. The big question is, could Punk actually lift Lesnar, and land the GTS? Again, it's something to think about.

I expect the booking of this match to mirror Cena VS Lesnar from Extreme Rules last year. Punk will take a nasty, brutal beating, making Lesnar look like an unstoppable beast in the process. Punk will get in a few shots here and there for survival, but Lesnar will continue a relentless attack, mauling Punk into the ground. And if Punk manages to pull out a victory, it'll be because he hit some luck Hail Mary shot out of nowhere.

As far as a winner goes, I think Lesnar will take this. I honestly don't expect Lesnar VS Punk to end with one match. Maybe the rematch happens at Wrestlemania 30, or somewhere else before that. If Lesnar wins, he'll have the momentum going forward. If Punk wins with luck, then Heyman can brag about Punk's win being a fluke, and Heyman could go the route of goading Punk into a rematch.

Lesnar should win this clean. Or Punk wins with a steal pin (via roll-up) I think that's a decent way if they're going with the Punk winning route.

Cm Junk is somehow gonna pull the win out at SUMMERSLAM! Think about it! Nobody expects this! and this will make LESNAR SO MAD! He will continue feud with PUNK till late sept!

The Entire Year, ( WWE has made Punk weak, compared to last year!) I personally dont care for punk, I think he is boring on mic, and is not very good performer!

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

Lesnar needs to be in a position so he can look dominant. With this I can see Lesnar winning their Summer Slam encounter with Punk possibly going over at one of the PPV's before Survivor Series. Perhaps at Hell in a Cell.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

WWE have missed a trick by not pairing Punk & Lesnar for a while before they face eachother. Still, Punk is having a hell of a year on PPV. The caliber of his opponents has been oustanding.

Lesnar has to win. He's 2-2 on Pay-Per-View since his return and really he should maybe have lost one match at most. The initial loss to Cena made no sense and Triple H definately didn't need to win at Mania. So what about that stipulation!

My money is on Lesnar, but I still expect Punk to get his victory back in the future. Possibly at Survivor Series. That's not needed, Punk can gain his revenge through Heyman at some point in the future.

 

[rge2010]

I really hope Lesnar goes over in this one. Lesnar needs to look dominant and as somebody has already stated he is 2-2 on PPV. That should be 3-1 at the very least. WWE have invested so much into Brock he needs to be taken seriously so I think Lesnar wins this by stoppage. Punk doesn't give in and comes out of it looking very strong even though he has 'lost'.

I dont know about Brocks contract and if he will do another PPV this year (he will have done 3 by this stage) but if he does then a HIAC match or a 4 on 4 match at Survivor Series.

 

[The Perfect Max]

I agree with the majority, Brock Lesnar should be, at least 3-1 heading into SummerSlam. Then, the outcome of this match can be left open a little more. Because of his loss to John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012 (still don't understand), and because of his loss to Triple H at WrestleMania 29 (would have liked to see him win), if he is to be considered a threat to either The Rock or The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX, he needs this one.

2-3 against The Undertaker doesn't look good to me. 2-3 against The Rock who is 4-1 still isn't that good. He needs this third win. I full expect Lesnar to have another match between SummerSlam and WrestleMania XXX, and realistically, he needs to win that one as well. He needs all the momentum in the world, not only for his sake going into WrestleMania XXX, but for the fans to even care.

As for this match, I would like to see CM Punk win, but I understand Lesnar needs it more. These two should put on quite a good match, and at the end of it, if Lesnar wins, people won't mind, because it was worth the watch. An alternative would to have Heyman cost Punk the win, followed by a Curtis Axel feud. I know it is a it of a drop, but both are good in-ring workers and CM Punk and Paul Heyman mesh well on the mic. Just a thought.

 

[BrianFNPillman]

It still baffles me why they had him lose to Cena and Triple H, but that's beside the point.

The only conceivable way it could be made for Punk to look like a legit threat against Lesnar was (as I've said in another topic) if they played up Lesnar having a severe case of diverticulitis and Punk using that to his advantage, thus exploiting the monsters weakness. Sadly though I don't think this has ever been mentioned on WWE TV before so I don't know if after all this time people would latch onto it as a concept.

Still, I would rather see Lesnar win, look like the massive, ham fisted bastard he is and haul ass. Then Punk pick up the win in the return match, that being said I don't think him losing 2 years in a row at 'Mania is a good idea, even if it was obvious he wasn't going to be The Streak last year.

I still expect match of the night out of the two of them though. Brock's fantastic at being a monster, and Punk can have a great match with anyone.

 

[The Gribbler]

I don't really see who this advantages. Lesnar defeats Punk... and what? He looks like a badass? Not really. Does he gain any credibility? Hard for him to have alot more cred really...

Punk wins... I suppose he looks good for going over a guy much larger and more physically intimidating, but that's hardly unheard of for Punk.

Overall this gives Summerslam a marquee match and really gives something to watch for. Along with the Wyatts, the Sheild, and Bryan going toe to toe with Cena... Summerslam might be worth buying for the first time in years.

But for this match, I really don't get what the payoff is.

But maybe I just don't see the big picture here... I don't know...

Just My Opinion

 

[dakikko049]

What is the point in having Lesnar beat Punk?

If this is a David and Goliath feud between Lesnar and Punk, why would you have Goliath win? And if Heyman comes out on top after this betrayal of friendship then WWE are pretty much saying, "If you are small you will lose", which is stupid.

Now maybe it's just because I'm bored of Lesnar and rally don't care how much "momentum" this will give him going into his inevitable, and dreaded, "big feud" at Wrestlemania, but I just think it would be pathetic to give this win to a guy who barely shows up on WWE TV, and further telling all the casual fans that Raw and Smackdown's biggest superstars are a terrible, and the only ones that matter are these almighty part timers. Punk was the longest reigning WWE champion in years, but he still couldnt beat Brock Lesnar? I don't like it at all.

 

[FreezeIzGAWD]

Boy I cant believe PPL are saying that BROCK should win because he needs the MOMENTUM... BROCK SHOULD WIN BECAUSE BROCK WOULD WIN.... LOL!!! This is NOT EVEN A CLOSE FIGHT.... U cant even make it believable any OTHER WAY!!! Okay I hated that SUPER CENA won but hey HE IS SUPER CENA... And although he would demolish Triple H... At least Trips LOOKS like he could hold his own... CM PUNK WOULD GET MURDERED.... Its funny I do not get what ya'll see in this guy... He is okay on the mic (though I wish he would quit using his PIPE BOMB voice EVERY PROMO now) and he is aw'ight in the ring but he REALLY IS NOT THAT GREAT..... BROCK is just BETTER... Period... This is a NO BRAINER.... BROCK SHOULD WIN.... EASILY!!!

 

[Mustang Sally]

Mirrors & illusions......that's what they're going to need to make this one look believable. Look at the picture in the first post of this thread; look at the way Punk seems to be the same height as Lesnar. Mirrors.

Don't think it's an accident that Punk is wearing a shirt, while Lesnar isn't. Mirrors.

Two problems: Punk is too small to make fighting Lesnar look real. Yes, if there's anyone who can put on a show that makes it seem as if he could really be competitive with someone as massive as Brock, it would be Punk. I'll buy that....and perhaps Punk will somehow put on a great performance (with mirrors).....but it won't look real. Sure, you could toss Rey Mysterio at me, but that suggestion only proves the point: his chopping down huge men looked about as believable as me beating up the Great NorCal.

Therein lies the other problem: Brock hits too hard. He's used to real fighting and left WWE years ago because he didn't like having to soft-pedal his offense, a problem Ken Shamrock encountered, too.

It's very hard to fight Brock Lesnar, even in a pre-scripted athletic contest. Opponents with the bodies of John Cena and Triple H can handle the pounding, but Punk (and WWE) could wind up looking very bad in this match-up, if for no other reason than Brock (imo) doesn't seem to care about protecting his opponents, even during scripted run-ins (remember Cena's bloody mouth during Brock's first Raw?) I don't think Brock hangs out with the other performers in the locker room between his rare appearances; all indications are that he shows up, pounds on someone......and leaves. He doesn't have to concern himself with how the other employees regard him.....and even while pro wrestling is "fake" it still portends trouble for a lightweight like C.M. Punk.

On the other hand, Phil Brooks has agreed to this, same as he agreed to take that flying smash into the announcer's table that we saw so many times last night that I started to flinch each time they aired it. Hopefully, there's a plan in place that calls for Punk to live through this match......if not actually win it.

If the company can bring this one off, I'll never doubt their choreographers again. But unless Brock truly does remember how to soft-pedal it, and chooses to do it..... Punk might not enjoy his evening.

 

[The Eighties]

I think many underestimate just what a tough bastard CM Punk is and how much actual MMA training he has done, I don't think for a second he'll have any problems having a strong match with Brock that tears the house down.

It always seems to me that Sting vs Vader (Yes Sting is bigger than Punk but Vader is nearly 200lbs heavier than Brock), Bret vs Diesel and Shawn vs Sid never happened when Punk's size is discussed, but as I said before I think the size issue is really skewed by the fact that Brock is a legit UFC guy now, back in 2004 I don't recall anyone worrying about Eddie's feud with Brock, but he was just a "fake wrassler" then.

Anyway so far the mic work has been outstanding between Punk and Heyman and the brawl last week was excellent. This is the feud I've wanted to see Brock in since his return and I have no doubt they'll deliver a great monster heel vs underdog face match at Summerslam.

As for who will win? The WWE work to a story formula and Punk is the wronged good guy with the crowd support, I actually think he will lose this match through Heyman but he will beat Brock down the line. If WWE were worried about keeping Brock strong to wrestle a 50 year old Taker who wrestles once a year or a movie star who might show up for a month next March, they'd not have had him lose 2 of his 4 fights already.

 

[scomvp316]

If this is a one time only match depending on Brock's contract the logical match should be a Last Man Standing
To weaken Brock Punk must attack Brock's midesection to play up Brock's stomach issues as we saw HHH did in their last encounter
If its a one off match Punk catches Brock near the end to squeak out a win where both guys keep their potential momentum towards WM
If this is part one of two then Punk loses this first match after sustaining three F5's and then at SSeries in a No DQ match Punk goes over on Lesnar to setup a TLC PPV match of Heyman vs Punk where if Punk wins he enters the RR at #30 but if Punk loses he enters the RR at #1

 

[BrianFNPillman]

I think many underestimate just what a tough bastard CM Punk is and how much actual MMA training he has done, I don't think for a second he'll have any problems having a strong match with Brock that tears the house down.

And this is a thing I think a lot of people are overlooking, over the past few years Punk has made no bones about training with Rener Gracie, it was even mentioned in his WWE DVD how his training regime has changed over the years to reflect that.

Couple in the fact the dude spent years doing that stupid "strong-style" on the indy scene competing in IWA-MS and ROH doing ridiculous, stiff spots and he's basically beaten his body up since the mid-90's I reckon he's not just the 218lbs weed he's being perceived to be.

As for the fight looking realistic; Yes, Brock is a fucking beast. Yes, he pretty much dwarfed Cena and Trips despite them being physically huge and yes, the David vs. Goliath thing is pretty unrealistic at the best of times especially as he outweighs Punk by about 60lbs. But if you wanna' talk UFC, that started as basically No Weight Classes, No Limits fighting. And in more times than none, the big, powerful brawler got completely outmatched by a smaller, more technically sound grappler.

And that's how it's going to look "realistic." Royce Gracie, a 178lbs dude wet through powered through some huge, powerful motherfuckers by exploiting weaknesses in their offense and grounding them. He beat Shamrock at his 245lbs peak. This is basically the same situation, granted in a "fake" environment and this is what they need to be doing with Punk. They need to show that while Brock is huge and formidable and packs a punch, he can't "out-wrestle" Punk. Sure Brock was a legit amateur wrestler, but this is hardly played up anymore compared to him being this fucking hulk-like UFC end boss.

If anything, they could set up a pretty convincing win if Brock goes to F5 Punk and slips out into crucifix position and lays the elbows in a'la Gary Goodridge, gets Brock to drop him, Punk hits the head kick and then locks in the Vise (because hitting the GTS is too unrealistic for my taste and I doubt Brock would sell it) then all of a sudden you've got a way for Punk to win looking strong, and Brock to still look strong by taking an immense amount of punishment to his meaty head.

That ending works far better than Triple H hitting a million Pedigrees anyway.

 

[BestntheWorld]

Lol There are two things that make me laugh more than anything else when people mention them on here and they go hand in hand and thats being realistic and the size difference. "Its not realistic for punk to beat lesnar, he's too small" ok? and? It's World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT, it's not World Wrestling of Realistic Looking Fights. Half the results and storylines wouldnt happen how they happen in the history of sports ENTERTAINMENT if the writers only did what was realistic. Some of the best champions and most popular superstars ever have been small just the point John Cena tried making last night. Shawn Michaels being the most obvious and look at some of the people he wrestled and beat. It's about making a good story, having drama, entertaining fans and making the most money and those things alone will determine who wins not what is most realistic.

As for the people asking why brock lesnar needs to win, are you serious? Because he needs to look as much of a monster as possible to fight whoever he is going to fight at Wrestlemania. He wont look like much of a challenge to someone like the rock or the undertaker if he cant beat cm punk, someone that lost to the rock and the undertaker at consecutive ppv's. How would that make ANY sense? At least pretend to sound like you pay attention at all when you type things for other people to read. Now obviously personally I want punk to win, as if the name isnt obvious, but punk is basically untouchable at this point especially against someone like lesnar and can still come out majorly over and looking good even if he loses as long as he makes it look good and puts up a good fight which is all he ever does win or lose so that shouldnt be a problem

 

[Jack-Hammer]

As has become pretty common fair, I think people are underestimating how legitimately tough Punk is based almost entirely on the fact that Brock Lesnar is bigger & stronger. Punk is someone that's taken his share of stiff hits during his career and he's also someone that's had significant MMA training in his life. Lesnar is a big, strong guy that's a legit badass but, at the same time, I think people are buying too much into the Lesnar hype.

Matt Striker gave an interview recently in which he was asked about a feud between Punk & Lesnar. Striker responded that he didn't see it as unrealistic whatsoever because size & strength doesn't automatically trump everything. Striker responded also that Punk & Daniel Bryan have had legit MMA training and could hold their own with Lesnar or even win. Anyone whose ever seen or been in a real fight knows that it's not always the biggest or strongest who wins. So taking what we know to be true in a real fight, why couldn't Punk be able to hold his own in a choreographed fight? Sure, Lesnar's stiff but Punk isn't made of glass and I'm sure Punk can be just as stiff if it's what's called for. After all, Punk has beaten men who are bigger and stronger than Brock Lesnar in pro wrestling matches, not real fights.

As for who wins this match, it's hard to say at this point. It all depends on what WWE's long term plans are for both Punk & Lesnar. If this is going to be a one time encounter between the two then, personally, I think Punk walks out with the win. Lesnar is brought out as a special attraction to help jack up ppv buys while Punk is easily one of the top long term guys in WWE. If it isn't a one time match, then I do see Lesnar winning and Punk ultimately challenging him to a rematch. In order for it to go down that way, the rematch would have to take place pretty soon. Lesnar beating Punk isn't going to jack up Lesnar's credibility because that's one place Lesnar isn't hurting. He has the lineage of his dominant near 2 year run in WWE more than a decade ago, that people still talk about with awe to this very day, and the fact that he was a huge draw in the UFC and a UFC Heavyweight Champion. He might not be one of the all time MMA greats, but he certainly drew more money & hype than anyone else. Because of the fact that he was a UFC Champion, that makes him a legit badass no matter what. It gives him a degree of legitimacy that you simply don't see in the VAST majority of pro wrestlers. If the plan is to put Lesnar against Taker at WrestleMania XXX, who is FAR, FAR more likely to get hurt by Lesnar, then it's going to draw no matter what. As I recall various reports pertaining to Lesnar's contract well over a year ago, because of the extremely restricted nature of Lesnar's deal, I remember reading that Lesnar could often be used to put over WWE talent. Considering that Lesnar doesn't have any particular love for wrestling, or anything for that matter, and will do just about anything for a big enough paycheck; jobbing Punk out to Lesnar, in my opinion, isn't good business in the long run.

Based on just a guess, I'm thinking this will be a one time deal. Lesnar's feud with Triple H was spread out quite a bit over time. It was done this way because of the way Lesnar's contract is structured and because of Trips' role as an executive. They were able to keep the feud going so long because Lesnar "broke" Triple H's arm twice, it was frequently mentioned & talked about and Lesnar "broke" Vince McMahon's hip promping Triple H to seek vengeance. The only way that it could be done in a similar manner is if Punk is "injured" during their match at SummerSlam, written off television for a few months and then makes a return to challenge Lesnar again. I don't see it going down that way because Punk is too valuable of an asset to let sit on the shelf as WWE moves into the fall television season with Raw going toe to toe with the juggernaut that is Monday Night Football.

 

[BrianFNPillman]

I can't see them writing Punk off of TV for a few months to spread the feud out because they wrote him off TV following 'Mania already this year, it makes it look like Punk can hold his own against regular WWE competitors but part-timers just come in and decimate him. Plus with no Jericho at the moment WWE need Punk on TV as A) A solid workhorse and B) for the Main Event scene.

I really think regardless if this is a one time thing or not, Punk needs to win. He can't lose another PPV match to a part-timer, especially seen as though Brock has been handing out beatings to Punk for weeks now and already making it look like he's going to get destroyed going 1-on-1 with the formaly known "Next Big Thing."

BestntheWorld, I think your logic is severely flawed. I mean you claim it's meant to be entertainment. But you still want Lesnar to win to look "like a monster." Surely you of all people if you wanted it to be entertaining would be a fan of the David/Goliath scenario?

And like I said, if Punk loses to Lesnar it looks like he can't beat any part-timers, like they just parade him out when they need someone to put on a decent quality match against an opponent of questionable caliber.

Off Topic 1- Shawn Micheals was only a "small champion" because he was around when WWE was still "land of the giants" he's 6'1 and 225lbs, hardly small really is it? Bret was 6'1 and 235-ishlbs. Still hardly small. I mean that's basically UFC Heavyweight division territory.

Off Topic 2 - but as much as Lesnar vs. 'Taker sounds appealing, it ain't 2002 anymore. 'Taker is pretty much a shell of his former self now being paraded out to protect a gimmick that is now vastly more marketable than the man himself. I could honestly see Lesnar beating 'Taker for the streak, not because it's booked in that way, not because Brock is the man to do it, but because Brock could legitimately break Taker by accident at this point in his career. Logistically speaking, Brock isn't a safe enough opponent for 'Taker.

 

[Redemption-2012]

I disagree with every single person on this forum. CM Punk has to win this one, just this year he took 2 losses to The Rock, a big loss to The Undertaker and also lost to John Cena on an episode of Raw. If CM Punk loses this one, he risks becoming known as CM Jobber and we don't want that. The point about Brock Lesnar losing to John Cena I get however, he beat Triple H twice! and looked like a beast in doing so. The face he lost one match at WrestleMania means absolutely nothing.

I also believe that CM Punk being the full time star against the part time Brock Lesnar, it's only right that Punk goes over here. Brock Lesnar can go away for several months until WrestleMania 30 (who ever he faces there) and still be a beast. He does not need to win and frankly I don't think he cares if wins or loses. The booking of this match needs to be like the John Cena/Lesnar match where Lesnar gets the upper-hand most of the match, destroying him etc....CM Punk comes back to make the big win.

If Brock Lesnar looks dominant throughout the match then the loss won't hurt him in anyway, shape or form.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I might be wrong because I'm a bone-idle bastard and I've only been skip reading, but has this thread turned into a Punk is legitimately hard thread? Yeah, that's bullshit. Lesnar would annihlate him. Lesnar MMA training and competitive fight experience/CM Punk MMA training and the only fighting experience most of us know of is him losing a bitch fight to Teddy Hart.

Fortunately this is wrestling and that's irrelevant. Punk is Lesnars equal.

 

[Alucard316]

I could be wrong, but the way that they are telling the story leads me to think that Punk is going to win. With the way it is going, I think that it would anti-climatic if Brock just destroys Punk at SummerSlam. It would be like, "Wait, so you're telling me that Brock beats Punk's ass leading up SummerSlam AND then beats him at SummerSlam, too?!" I also don't buy the whole "Brock needs momentum" thought. WrestleMania is over six months away. If he did win, then his momentum would definitely be gone by then. Besides, does Brock really need momentum? All of Brock's angles start like this: Brock comes out and attacks someone; begin feud.

 

[BrianFNPillman]

I might be wrong because I'm a bone-idle bastard and I've only been skip reading, but has this thread turned into a Punk is legitimately hard thread?

It's more like CM Punk isn't a total pussy thread.

The general consensus (or how I gather it) is that because Lesnar is a massive, hard bastard it means that immediately anyone beating him has to be an equally massive bastard for it to be believable. And that Brock can just bulldoze over anyone and everyone because he's a legit fighter regardless of Kayfabe.

 

[Gcovatti]

Exaclty. For Punk's claim of being the best be acceptable he need's a bigger win than Jericho. About the size difference i see no problem at all. He'll get beat down and will be established that physically Brock is by far the superior force (not that it need's it to be established anyway), but than punk out smart him in a clever way an bum, everyone is satisfied.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Punk's had entertaining matches with Big Show and Mark Henry recently. In fact, the only bad giant match (or matches) I can remember Punk having is with Big Daddy V during the WWEECW days, but Big Daddy V was shit, so yeah.

The difference? They didn't have Lesnar's legit MMA background. Lesnar's UFC background is a MAJOR selling point for his character, because it separates him from the pack of other monsters in WWE. You can't just ignore or try to belittle Lesnar's MMA skill set, especially when you consider his legit amateur wrestling background, and his hulking size.

No one is doubting Punk's toughness or the legitimacy of his MMA training, but when you put a man of his size and build up against someone like Lesnar, you can't just ignore or believe the size differences aren't a big deal, because they are. It's the reason most of us are interested in this match in the first place, because we want to see if Punk, the undersized underdog can defeat the seemingly unstoppable "Beast Incarnate."

On top of that, think back to Lesnar's post MMA run in WWE. Think about how his feuds with Cena and Triple H were built up. With Cena, it was all about getting redemption after losing to The Rock at Wrestlemania. With Triple H, it was all about revenge for his broken arm, and the F5 on Vince. Size wasn't a factor, because Triple H and Cena have the size and muscle mass to fit into the category of believable opponents for Lesnar. I didn't think about this until Sally pointed it out, but Punk being pictured in a shirt isn't some random coincidence. WWE knows Punk is dwarfed by Lesnar's size, and Punk knows it, that's why he went into the analogy with slaying monsters during his promo the other night, and Brock "rag dolling" him during the brawl last week.

The only conceivable way it could be made for Punk to look like a legit threat against Lesnar was (as I've said in another topic) if they played up Lesnar having a severe case of diverticulitis and Punk using that to his advantage, thus exploiting the monsters weakness. Sadly though I don't think this has ever been mentioned on WWE TV before so I don't know if after all this time people would latch onto it as a concept.

If I'm not mistaken, Michael Cole mentioned Lesnar's diverticulitis during his match with Triple H at Summerslam last year. I think Triple H targeted Lesnar's stomach at one point in the match. Lesnar was clutching his stomach for a while, and writhing in pain. I'm not 100% sure if Cole actually said "diverticulitis," but he certainly mentioned Lesnar's history of stomach problems.

 

[Desyar]

Cm Junk is somehow gonna pull the win out at SUMMERSLAM! Think about it! Nobody expects this! and this will make LESNAR SO MAD! He will continue feud with PUNK till late sept!

The Entire Year, ( WWE has made Punk weak, compared to last year!) I personally dont care for punk, I think he is boring on mic, and is not very good performer!

Boy I cant believe PPL are saying that BROCK should win because he needs the MOMENTUM... BROCK SHOULD WIN BECAUSE BROCK WOULD WIN.... LOL!!! This is NOT EVEN A CLOSE FIGHT.... U cant even make it believable any OTHER WAY!!! Okay I hated that SUPER CENA won but hey HE IS SUPER CENA... And although he would demolish Triple H... At least Trips LOOKS like he could hold his own... CM PUNK WOULD GET MURDERED.... Its funny I do not get what ya'll see in this guy... He is okay on the mic (though I wish he would quit using his PIPE BOMB voice EVERY PROMO now) and he is aw'ight in the ring but he REALLY IS NOT THAT GREAT..... BROCK is just BETTER... Period... This is a NO BRAINER.... BROCK SHOULD WIN.... EASILY!!!

I agree. I think seeing a flying pig would be more believeable than watching Punk beat Brock Lesnar in a fight.

http://youtu.be/pGIMtFO7RgA

I mean look at this video. Punk looked like a little kid trying to pick a fight with his dad, lmfao!

Punk can just get back at Paul Heyman at some point. But definitely not Brock.

but if Punk should win. It definitely should be a roll-up or something. WWE's fake but it would be too ridiculous to see Punk beat Brock with a submission or by knocking him out.
