Paid Members BomberPat Posted November 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2023 52 minutes ago, Matthew said: For those complaining about the Punk promo not being genuine, or dull etc. what would you have preferred, given before Raw, it was fantasy booked and people were complaining that he would likely come out and use lots of insider references āshoot-kayfabe bollocksā. That wasnāt done, and was still the wrong decision, so which was the right one? An angle that set up a future match or programme, rather than ending the show on "it's nice to be here, tip your waiters, try the veal".

That's not how it ended though. The last line of the promo was "I'm here to make money, not friends."Ā Opinions aside surely thatĀ isĀ an obvious angle? Week one and he's does a modest, workaday monologue we all know he doesn't believe and is beneath his own promo level and then signs it off with a wink and "I'm still a dick" to the camera.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Iāve watched it back, itās a good promo and I donāt think his delivery was that flat either. Itās just so hard to believe the āaw shucks, howdy doody, gee whillickers I love you guysā routine from him. I think they didnāt have anything for him, so just let him go out and wipe the slate clean for a fresh start when heās next on Raw. Iām so in for Cody/Punk when they get round to it.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2023 The Iām here to make money not friends was apparently cut out of some of the social media clips, so if that is designed for an angle thatās a weird thing to cut.

If they were just going to do a āhappy to be here, happy to have finally realised how much I love it here, love you guysā palate cleanser they should have just done that.

Paid Members JLM Posted November 28, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2023 Maybe that can be the gimmick. Schmaltzy babyface promo followed by a snippy comment to the camera.Ā Ā āYou all know me, I live and breathe WWE, Triple H is my father and I plan to personally give every superstar in that locker room a back massageāĀ *to camera* āReal talk though, Ā if any of you fuckers are expecting Starbucks gift cards you are in for a rude awakeningā.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
