That was great, a worked Shoot or NOT that was brilliant, believed me to think that was clearly a worked shoot COS he didnt mention TNA. But that was brilliant

While it was clearly worked, I doubt he would ever mention TNA as he was quite bitter about his time there.

That Punk thing was brilliant. It has me, and by the looks of it others, genuinely wondering whether it was real or not. In this internet day and age that truly is something. Either it was a shoot, in which case it's a bit petty but a damn memorable moment all the same, or a masterful work.

 

It's got me a lot more interested either way.

 

(In case anyone points it out, I'm aware that it's almost certainly the latter option above)

You dont cut promos that good and get that amount of leeway on the microphone and let him walk out the door. I think its all and work and he's resigned. Its was very much like that Paul Heyman promo in 2001, where they worked the smart fans, but gave enough for the regular viewer to buy into it for storyline purposes. If he wins the belt in three weeks, that will only make this "is it a work/is it a shoot" stuff even better. Great stuff. I honestly cant see them allowing himself to get that over and be that much of a talking point and then let him be fee to join any promotion he wants. Cant speak highly enough of that promo. Even the way they just cut the show off was class.

 

What does my head in though, is that promo was so good, as odd as it sounds. There is no reason why Raw shouldnt be able to provide entertainment and drama like that on a weekly basis. Still though, thats the miserable cunt in my coming out though. Hopefully this sets up a DDP vs CM Punk feud, for no reason whatsoever.

Wow. All that was missing was Punk screaming "CHRIS BENOIT, CHRIS BENOIT, CHRIS BENOIT" into the camera and it would have been the exact replica of something that you'd see in the 411mania comment section. Definitely something morbidly fascinating about seeing a non-disabled do it live on the air though. They've certainly got me intrigued...

I personally hated Punk's promo and it wasn't a patch on Heyman's "shoot" or even Joey Styles for that matter both of them sounded like they genuingly believed every word they said (and perhaps did) where as Punk was just throwing out as many insider remarks as he could.

That was an amazing delivery. We all know he wouldn't get to say any of that without permission , but at least we know that they know what the Internet says about them now. If punk does take time off, he is coming back with a bang.

Does anyone have a transcript of Punk's promo? I want to see what the fuss is about but I'm going to be on a train all day and won't have phone access. Ta.

 

I'd settle for knowing the gist of it, if anyone wants to fill me in (LOL)?

Here is what CM Punk said after the R Truth/John Cena match on tonight's episode of Raw. This is not a full transcript of what he said, but covers what he said.

 

Punk takes a seat as he tells John Cena that while he lays there hopefully as uncomfortably as he can possibly be. He wants Cena to digest some of the things that Punk wants to get off his chest before he leaves in three weeks with Cena's title. He doesn't hate John and he actually likes John. He says that he likes Cena a hell of a lot more than most of the people in the back.

 

He hates the idea that Cena is the best because he is not. Punk says that he is the best and the best in the world. There is one thing that Cena is better at and that is kissing Vince McMahon's ass.

 

Punk says that Cena is just as good as Hulk Hogan was. He doesn't know if Cena is as good as Dwayne because he is a pretty good ass kisser and still is. Punk says that he is breaking the fourth wall and he waves to the camera. Punk reiterates that he is the best wrestler in the world. He has been the best since day one when he walked into the company and he has been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in him that nobody else wanted to admit.

 

Punk says that he is a Heyman guy and he says that another person who was a Paul Heyman man was Brock Lesnar. Brock split just like he is splitting. Punk says that the biggest difference between him and Brock is that he is leaving with the WWE Championship.

 

Punk says that he has grabbed at so many of Vince McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it dawned on him that they are completely imaginary and the only thing that is real is him. The fact that day in and day out for almost six years he has proven to everybody in the world that he is the best. He is the best on the microphone, in the ring, and even on commentary. Nobody can touch him.

 

Yet no matter how many times he has proven it, he is not on the lovely little collector cups, he's not on the cover of the program, he's barely promoted, he doesn't get to be in movies, he certainly not on any crappy programs on USA Network. He isn't on the poster for Wrestlemania, he isn't on the signature that's produced at the start of the show. He's not on Conan O'Brien, he isn't on Jimmy Fallon. Punk says that he should be.

 

He says that this isn't sour grapes. The fact that Dwayne is in the main event of Wrestlemania next year and he isn't makes Punk sick. Punk wants everyone who was cheering him to know that they are the biggest part of him leaving as anyone else.

 

Punk says that they are sipping out of those collector cups, buy those programs that his face isn't on the cover of. Then at five in the morning, at the airport, you shove it in my face for an autograph so you can sell it on eBay because you are too lazy to get a real job.

 

Punk says that he is leaving with the WWE Championship on the 17th. Who knows, maybe I'll defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe I'll go back to Ring of Honor. Hey Colt Cabana, how ya doing.

 

Punk says that he is leaving because of the people. After he is gone, they are going to continue to pour money into this company. Punk says that he is just a spoke on the wheel and the wheel is going to keep on turning and he understands that.

 

Vince McMahon is going to make money despite himself. Vince is a millionaire who should be a billionaire. He says that it is because he surrounds himself with glad handing, nonsensical, (word was omitted, but sounded a lot like d-bag), yes men like John Laurinaitis who is going to tell him everything that he wants to hear.

 

Maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, but the fact is that it's gonna get taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family.

 

Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon. We do this whole bully campaign . . .

 

At this point Punk's mic is turned off and he gestures about being silenced by the WWE and then they go to credits.
