Not home grown? Who in the WWE is if he isn't?
|
I seriously never thought he was going to be WWE Champ or anything, but I always thought he would be a US/IC Title fixture.
You know, the guy that could always put on a good show when given the chance but never gets the ball just because of where he came from and the fact that he's not 6'10" 315lbs. |

And CM Punk isn't like them how?
|
Where has he been? Three months in TNA hardly counts...
|
ROH
|
John Cena was huge in UPW, so he clearly is UPW home grown talent.
|
In order for one to be homegrown, he can't make his name any other place except WWE.
Punk already made a name for himself in ROH and to a lesser extent in IWA-MS. |
Because the average wrewstling fan has heard of that comapny and all.
|
But see UPW was somewhat of a WWE partner back then.
|
Really? Huh, news to me.
|
I concede then.

WWE has always been known to prefer pushing guys that they essentially created. They didn't create CM Punk's character. They created guys like Cena, Batista, Triple H, etc. |
Punk shouldn't have gotten a bigger pop then DX

Everyone seems to be forgetting that making out with his girlfriend wasn't the only thing he did.
Arn Anderson did attempt to give him advice and he shrugged him off. Thinking you're better than listening to a wrestling legend seems quite arrogant to me. |

And Punk jobs to Matt Striker via a roll up with the ropes. We are witnessing the Tazz-in-i-zation of Mr. Punk.

Once again overreaction can come into play. Punk could've stood there and listened to him went "Okay" and walked away. Arn could take that as "Oh he didn't appreciate what I was saying." I mean like it's been said before, no one here knows to what extent things went down. WWE could be holding Punk under a microscope so everything he does or says could be blown out of proportion. I mean would you really be surprised if WWE did that? |

I still say relax about CM Punk. Yes its more fuel on the fire but I watched it and was suprised, but it didn't seem to bad. It was clearly a cheap victory and CM Punk will pick up a beatdown on him soon.
Didn't Jericho lose cleanly to Chyna? That didn't kill any heat. There's plenty of examples of guys with heat early in their time with WWE who have LOST AN OCCASIONAL MATCH and still been fine. If he's as popular and entertaining as you all maintain, he will be fine. Now if hes squashed thats another thing....but it hasn't happened, yet. |
Oh and btw, if Punk wants to really get over, he needs to pick up a microphone and let the world know who he is.

"He is straight-edge, he is all about competition, he is C...M...Punk."
I think he's about as established on the mic has WWE wants him to be. |
I think hes just about as over as he ever will be, this guy would be a solid IC champion, but get ready for dissapointment if you think this guys gonna break into the main event. I like him, I'm just saying.
And as for the people who've said they see him as "a mainstream star", well I don't even wanna begin with that but, no. Not happening. Whats mainstream about a straight edge guy who looks like he should be operating the tilt a whirl. I hope CM Punk continues to get over and makes a name for himself on the midcard, but I can't see this guy getting anymore over than Xpac or Road Dogg circa 1999 (not an insult, they were phenomenal back then), unless he goes through some drastic changes or Vince takes a shine to him. |

It's because they know he's not going to win the title at Wrestlemania and dominate for 2 years like they all want. So since the inevitable dissapointment is on its way, why not blame WWE for "intentionally preventing" it.
|
Actually, I sometimes wonder if wrestling fans tend to bank on these guys so they'll have a reason to bitch. I mean, I don't know why anyone would actually be delusional enough to think Punk is going anywhere, pop or no pop.
And by the way... Quote:
Though I agree with your unrealistic expectations. But seriously. |

He has the potential that Xpac and Road Dogg had in late 1998, sorry if that rubs some Punk marks the wrong way. I don't mean it as an insult to punk, he's just not the type of star who will go the distance. He is over with the crowd, and may get more over (just like them) but thats about it.
Survivor Series honestly doesn't impress me. Its a chant. |
