Heat on Punk!?!?!?!?!

[Heros Welcome]

Source: The Wrestling Observer

Word going around the WWE locker room is that the reason CM Punk lost the World Heavyweight Title last night is because of heat on him stemming from an incident on the recent European tour.

The story goes that there was in issue with how Punk was dressed and The Undertaker tried to nicely tell Punk that he was the World Champion and was representing WWE overseas so he should dress better. Punk said something to the effect of “what about John Cena?”

This got back to WWE management and they took it as Punk thinking he was a bigger star than John Cena. The decision was then made to take the belt off Punk at Hell in a Cell and put the match as the opener. This may not be exactly how the story went down but it’s how it was told to a source. Please take this as a RUMOR for now.

The problems with Punk and losing the title have been the talk of the SmackDown locker room for the past two days. As noted last night before the show, several on the SmackDown brand were under the impression that Undertaker was winning and he did. There are some who are wondering why ‘Taker was given the title considering his limited schedule and health problems with the feeling that it was too soon to take the title off Punk.

Word is that WWE is planning on going with a Batista vs. Undertaker feud for the World Heavyweight Title.


OH NO PUNK IS DEAD!

In all seriousness, I'm not going to believe this. With all the HEAT that Punk has gotten in the past he still manged to stay relevant and not be completely buried.

I just find it funny the second he loses a big match the HEAT rumors fly right in.

[Hanso Amore]

Bullshit.

Made up.

IF anything they would make him dress down, kayfabe and all.

All I can add to this discussion about heat on Punk is this video of Punk on Heat.

[Inadequacy]

Hey Heros Welcome, you should change your sig to say "thrice is nice" under that picture of Punk.

Also post 1,000 hurrah

[Ermaximus]

Did Ryan Clark post this?

[Heros Welcome]

Yes, the king of copy and paste got it from The Observer.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Seriously though, if you guys haven't seen that match, you should watch it.

[Ermaximus]

I saw it. It was the better of the 3 HIAC matches, which isn't saying much.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That was a video of Val Venis vs. CM Punk on Sunday Night Heat in 2005. YOU DIDN'T WATCH ANYTHING! :mad:

[Afterlife]

Bullshit.

Made up.

IF anything they would make him dress down, kayfabe and all.

The funny thing about that, is the reason Punk is always in tights and his merch T's is because when he dresses like a real person, Vince says he "doesn't look like CM Punk". So, yeah...I'd kinda say exactly what Punk allegedly said.

[SammyG]

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNKK

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS!

[Cool King]

Quick! Someone call Vince and tell him the awesome news!

MB69RatedR is now watching WWE television and the ratings will go through the roof thanks to him!

[SammyG]

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRated R

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, I call bullshit on this story. It completely clashes with past stories where Vince McMahon has allegedly kept Punk out of suits and stuff because he feels he doesn't look like a "Superstar." It just also doesn't make sense from a business sense of view. "You know what, Punk? You were rude, so we're going to completely damage the credibility of our show...that will show you."

The Undertaker probably went over because he is the face, and had been built up by The Rock and promos to be this inevitable force of destruction in the match. If Taker had lost, fans might have been pissed because they ordered the show. They'd need a new face to get behind, and it does sort of damage a lot of The Undertaker's mystique.

CM Punk is the heel -- it is his job to get beaten up and send the fans home happy. While that doesn't mean he can't be made credible, Punk is very fortunate where his size allows him to lose and then bounce back very easily. Keep in mind this was a Hell in a Cell against The Undertaker. If Punk can't lose that match, what can he lose?

The shorter length of the match was probably to protect Undertaker as much as possible. During that time, they did have Punk kick out of The Last Ride -- something Taker would not have let happen if he was upset with Punk. Also, with all the plotting about the Hell's Gate being legal again, if they wanted to punish Punk, wouldn't it have made sense to have him tap like a little bitch?

Not only do I not yet believe there is heat on Punk, but I believe that Punk will be the one to win the World Heavyweight Title from The Undertaker. It could happen even before the Bragging Rights PPV, but I think to get the most from an Undertaker title reign, Punk betrays Taker while he is World Heavyweight Champion at Bragging Rights in a tag team main event. That takes us to Survivor Series, where they are part of opposing teams. Then we could get The Undertaker vs. CM Punk vs. some other guys in a TLC Match at, ugh, TLC for the World Heavyweight Title. I think this may be where Punk wins back the belt -- likely the same night Shawn Michaels wins the WWE Championship.

[HBPunk]

Shawn Michaels winning the world title again will be awesome though id love if he won the rumble again.then turn heel to fight trips at mania 26

[BigDaddyCool]

Punk does seem to get back stage heat alot. But I really don't care.

[Swiss Ultimate]

The entire point of this rumor is that Taker tattled on CM Punk and that management got angry that someone would think little of John Cena???

I wonder why Cena lost his belt then...you think Orton told him that he should maybe put pants on and he said, "You and Legacy never put pants on! Why can't I wear my ridiculous long-shorts in peace?!?!?!"

[TheZman]

John Cena does dress like he has an extra chromosome.

[Gertner]

Shawn Michaels winning the world title again will be awesome though id love if he won the rumble again.then turn heel to fight trips at mania 26

No it wouldn't.

[SammyG]

Wtf, shut up. What's wrong with the way Cena dresses? T-shirts and shorts? wtf? so what.

[HBPunk]

Gertner,your a boner

[HBPunk]

Cena does dress like he was an extra in 'Next Friday'
Cena is white,
therefore: Cena is a tard

[Savio]

John Cena does dress like he has an extra chromosome.
because he wears shorts?

[TheZman]

Cena does dress like he was an extra in 'Next Friday'
Cena is white,
therefore: Cena is a tard

Exactly, and it's not like it's all that great a look on anybody.

[HBPunk]

damn right Zman,if cena still rapped it might make a bit more sense but he just looks like his parents dress him

[TheZman]

damn right Zman,if cena still rapped it might make a bit more sense but he just looks like his parents dress him

Think he's going to be pissed when Vince, Long and Punk screw Taker out of the title Friday?

[HBPunk]

whos the assclown on the taker youtube vid? also,Chris Jericho saved the wwe,doesnt that penisbutt listen??

[Chavo Classic]

Wait, what? Punk lost? Another example of brilliant, long-sighted booking by the WWE.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I hope that story is fake because a Taker Batista feud will surely kill all the positive vibes Smackdown has acquired since the draft.

[HBPunk]

Taker/Batista would be horrible,id rather watch Big Show/Khali ironman match every smackdown until 2010

[Ermaximus]

Psh we all know Taker's next fued will be against the undefeated Curt Hawkins. Come on people.

[HBPunk]

is he undefeated at wrestlemania?i smell a sexy storyline

[Ermaximus]

Yes he is. He is 0-0 at Wrestlemania. Throw R-Truth into that and you have a triple threat undefeated streak match.

[HBPunk]

oh please make it a fatal 4 way with nathan jones

[Emperor Smeat]

:nono: at Batista v Undertaker for the title if the report is true.

:wtf: at how anyone could misinterpret Punk saying "what about Cena" when it comes to being dressed as a champion since he rarely wears anything except a t-shirt and shorts.

[Sting Fan]

I do quite enjoy the way it alwasyc omes back to Cena.

I often think the dirt sheet writers have there own face snad heels and do a better job of sucking everyone into the shitty storylines than the WWE does.

[Tazz Dan]

Fuck there are some terrible posters around these days.

[Theo Dious]

Fuck there are some terrible posters around these days.

Damn right.

As for the story itself, a) Punk is always supposed to "have teh heatz" or be "in the doghouse" so this sounds like another load of shit. Additionally, as much as I don't like Punk, I don't think he's stupid enough to lip off to the Undertaker. Sounds like some idiot trying to explain the positioning of the match and Punk's loss.

[Tazz Dan]

I'm pretty certain they line up a whole heap of buckets with random words and names and take in turns pulling them out until a story apears from it. :y:

[RVDmark]

Fuck there are some terrible posters around these days.

Yeah but Ryan Clark is staff so what can we do.

[Innovator]

PWInsider said yesterday that Taker wanted it first cause of his hip, felt he couldnt pull off a main event caliber match

[RVDmark]

Thats fair enough in a way. But you could argue that of he couldnt do a main event calibre match, he shouldnt be in a main event. He DEFINATELY shouldn't be carrying the strap.

Vince was overheard complaining about their failure to make stars for the future. Right there was your chance Vince. You could have CM Punk go over 'Taker in a HIAC match, you cant put someone over much better than that. But oh no, lets have an inujured guy on a limited schedule take the strap, that'll work. *facepalm*

[Droford]

I wonder if they make Orton wear pants..

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Meh it is what it is... not like Taker hasn't earned it.

[Kami Raki]

We'll see in the coming weeks what's truly up. I've never been one to trust Ryan Clark(spamming faggot).

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Well Meltzer is the one reporting it so...

[Dorkchop]
