CM Punk 'Shoot' Promo

[Gagh]

Though it's most likely a work. Best Promo in at least the last 10 years?

If this is a work, it's rather ironic that McMahon lets somebody speak the truth to quite this extent. Oh well - buys tickets & PPV orders, I guess!

Yeah, it's definitely a work since they let him talk so long. But it is kind of a shoot too, since I'm sure he genuinely believes most of what he said (with a bit of exaggerating for heel effect.) They probably just told him to say whatever he wants, like with that famous Paul Heyman promo about ten years ago.

 

[headvoid]

Wow, attacking family members?

You can almost hear the control room discussing when to cut him off...

 

[CaptainWacky]

If he had brought up Randy Savage taking Stephanie's virginity, then I would have been convinced it was real...

 

[Donovan]

WWE CEO Vince McMahon released this statement shortly after the telecast:



“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.”

So, is it a work that turned shoot? Or will we see a series of "He's not supposed to be here!" skits?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Considering he's still wrestling Cena in the next pay per view main event, it's a work.

 

[Donovan]

Yeah I saw that later.

 

[CaptainWacky]

UNLESS HE TAPS OUT TO A HEADLOCK IN ONE MINUTE, SAYS "I RESPECT YOU, BOOKERMAN" STRIPS NAKED AND PISSES ON MICHAEL COLE AT THE PPV!?!

 

[headvoid]

I would pay to see that - YOU SHOULD BE a CONSULTANT TO MCMAHON

 

[CaptainWacky]

Layla would have all the championships then.

 

[CaptainWacky]

"Shooting" seems to be catching as Randy Orton mouthed off in a radio interview...

KUPD Arizona Real Rock conducted a very candid interview with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton yesterday where he opens up about a variety of topics including his early days with WWE, implying the WWE Divas Champion Kelly Kelly has slept with over 10 guys on the WWE roster (confirming Dolph Ziggler as one of them), discussing how Chris Jericho wasn’t afraid to tell Vince what he wanted to do with or without the WWE’s consent, joking that he can’t use the term “wrestler” when promoting WWE, why WWE was upset with him when he gave his true feelings about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson including Rock calling the WWE to let them know what he said, why he feels he blows John Cena away in the ring, the recent concussion he suffered in Spain, why he doesn’t like working with Mark Henry and a funny story about Cena getting sick while in the ring.

I can't be bothered listenign to it but he apologised to Kelly Kelly on Twitter for calling her a slut.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The "Money In The Bank" ppv was really good. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched WWE for a long time and suddenly feels like watching it again. Probably Cena's best match ever and Punk's best in WWE.

 

[Donovan]

There seems to be a lot of buzz regarding Vince getting "fired" and Punk leaving with the title. CM Punk and John Cena are both doing a LOT of twitter chatter; Cena is addressing some of the controversy and shit he said about Dwayne Johnson, while Punk is posting pictures of the WWE title in various odd spots like Cubs Field in Chicago and in his fridge. Pretty funny.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I wonder how long they'll keep Punk off tv. Wouldn't be surprised if he ran out to ruin the tournament final on next week's RAW, but it would probably be too. Maybe he'll attack Cena at Summerslam and we'll get Cole shouting "HE DOESN'T EVEN WORK HERE!"

 

[Donovan]

What would suck is if they tie Vince to him like a pair of invaders or something. Vince needs to stay gone.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Like that crappy NWO comeback in 2002 (or whenever)? Yeah, there's lots of ways they could mess this up...

[CaptainWacky]

...and they've ALREADY brought Punk back on RAW. So much for that. Triple H might be in charge now, but it seems he's got no patience either.

 

[CaptainWacky]

A year later and Punk's just another character.

 

[headvoid]

Well, he isn't dead at least.
