DISCUSSION - Should the WWE play up on CM Punk's latest comments towards The Rock?

What's up guys.

Long time.

Anyway - CM Punk had some less than stellar things to say about The Rock:

http://rajah.com/base/node/25100

Quote:
During a recent interview with the New York Daily News to hype the new WWE '12 video game, CM Punk made some controversial comments about The Rock - and his Hollywood megastar ego.

"You know, the thing about that is, he's not around. It doesn't help morale when the guy goes right from his limo to the dressing room to the dressing room to the ring. He's very bourgeois Hollywood."

Punk thinks The Rock is back to help his own career and make sure WrestleMania is a success - without allowing any of WWE's younger stars to benefit from his return.

"He came back, he did WWE Raw after that. He said he was never gonna leave. And the next time we saw him is a month later. Yeah, it does bother me. A little hello would have been nice. He could have run by with his own entourage."

According to Punk, The Rock has made little effort to interact with the rest of WWE - and it's caused a lot of resentment in the WWE locker room.
When asked if Rock was a diva, Punk said that would be an insult to WWE's Divas.

"I can't say that. At least the WWE Divas say hi to me in the halls."
My personal opinion?

Have this play out on TV. Similar how they did with Cena and Rock......but instead of having Punk be subservient with the fans (as Cena is doing right now), have CM Punk flat out rip on the fans if they side with The Rock.

Honestly - CM Punk is better off being a heel at this stage in his career.....or a tweener at best. I firmly believe that the WWE turned him WAY too soon. I said it many years ago and I'll say it again. Garnering "face like" reactions as a heel should NOT be a cue to turn someone into a face right away. The WWE made this mistake with Lesnar in 2002, and they did the same with Orton in 2004. There are many other examples as well.

Bottom line? Let CM Punk rip on The Rock.......and the fans if they start siding with Rocky.

Exactly.... WWE already cooled off Punk involving him in the whole Kevin Nash & Triple H angle, so this would be the perfect way to build him back up..... maybe even a Title Match at Royal Rumble (that Rock would not win, due to shenanigans of some sort).....

Aguakate 11-21-2011 08:17 PM
The risk in having Rock feud with Punk is that since the fans love Punk, Rock MAY get booed...and I dont think WWE wants Rock to be heel, so...

Wake Up Call 11-21-2011 08:19 PM
My personal opinion?

Punk should shut the fuck up, and thank The Rock. The Rock single handedly sold Survivor Series to probably an additional 10's to 100 thousand fans. Not too mention Wrestlemania will a whole lot more buys because of The Rock.

Now I am not sure if the wrestlers get a bonus depending on how many buys the PPV's get, they probably don't, but they get that extra exposure to hundreds of thousands of fans who wouldn't give a shit, and wouldn't spend their money if it wasn't for The Rock.

So Like I said, he should shut the fuck up, and take adantage of the extra exposure.

Nicky Fives 11-21-2011 08:23 PM
I agree wake up call, but if the stories of Rock being a mega-dick backstage are true, then that changes everything.....

He is doing that, you mutant twat, unless being on the hottest run of your career right now doesn't count as taking advantage of the extra exposure. Of course, you are too busy drooling over your own aunt's blood encrusted smelly cunt to do anything but be the bitter miserable fucking troll you are right now.

I believe a troll just says shit to get a rise out of people. What I said was my honest opinion.

His "run" was over two months ago. He has become stale and the "I'm gonna say whatevs the Internet Wrestling Community is thinkin about my opponent so I can get over HUGE" is getting old. It got him over in the first place because it was directed to Hunter and Cena. Now he's "pipe-bombing" Alberto Del Rio.... who cares??

Juan 11-21-2011 08:35 PM
Jesus, Steele. Why don't you tell him how you really feel?

Every crowd he has been in front of since May through at least last night, but if the crowd shits on him tonight I will admit you were right and I was wrong and that CM Punk is nothing but an internet darling with a smart mark mouth and a rabid fanbase of wrestling jihadists.

He may be stale to you, but Punk is over like crazy right now, so his "run" is far from over. Especially now that he's the Champ.

It's fine if you don't like Punk, but don't mix in your opinions with facts.

James Steele 11-21-2011 08:43 PM
CM Punk will only get bigger because I got the sense that John Cena (by the way he acted, especially after the match) will turn heel because of this feud with The Rock.

James Steele 11-21-2011 08:45 PM
Speaking of stale, that is what you are Wake Up Call. Here is a wake up call, you fucking suck. Please stop yourself from reaching 75 posts and do us all a favor by leaving TPWW forever and going to post on www.IWCHipsters.biz/forums/php?=cocksuckers.html

Between now and WM28, Cena's gotta feud with SOMEBODY, 'cause The Rock won't be around every week...

...you've gotta think it'll be Punk.

Seems too soon for them to be back at it, but I wish they would have held off putting the belt on Punk. Imagine if he kept getting screwed in progressively shittier fashion until he finally won at Elimination Chamber to get a title match at WrestleMania. Last night was an awesome match and moment, but I think if they held off and really fed him chasing the belt it could have given WM another white-hot match. After last night, I am absolutely convinced that Rock/Cena will be beyond electric. I also think Cena will either turn heel in the build or finally "snap" and turn heel by just beating the shit out of The Rock with a chair or something ala Austin at WrestleMania 17. Cue Cena coming out the next night in a suit and just completely tearing into the fans for shitting on him despite him doing everything for the fans, WWE, sick children, crippled puppies, etc. Cena has an intensity that could be epic as a vicious and vengeful heel with a chip-on-his-shoulder.

Are you O.K?

I feel I should appoligise for hurting your feeling, so here, I am sorry James Steele. I am sorry that my opinion on CM Punk has caused you this much grief, and I hope I didn't ruin your night. I'm sorry. :wavesad:

What?

McLegend 11-21-2011 09:55 PM
My honest opinion is The Rock can what he wants. He has paid his dues, and can do whatever he wants.

However the WWE should 100% use this with this when and if Rock and Punk feud. It would be great to use.

Providence Peep 11-21-2011 10:01 PM
My 4 hour drive to the Survivor Series last night was well worth it, even though I wasn't thrilled with where was my seat was located. But, for whatever its worth, I lost of lot of respect for The Rock last night and I would love to see the WWE "play up" on Punk's latest comments about him. What Punk said is very telling about The Rock, as was The Rock's promo after the Survivor Series (especially the reference to pot-smoking). I've lost a lot of respect for The Rock, and for the mindless fans who cheer for him while booing Cena and jeering him.

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "respect." I suppose I respect anyone who gets in the ring. But, I was disappointed that he made such a stupid remark about weed last night. Kids need role models. Kids look up to The Rock. He doesn't need to be promoting pot-smoking.

Oh come the hell on. Peep, I usually agree with you on a lot of things around here, but you're going to hold it against Rock because he made some minor comment about pot use? Not too mention the fact that he did it off the air, after he just finished pretending to beat the hell out of a couple of guys.

Oh the poor children! I hope they never have to live in the real world where there's no drugs or alcohol, no criminals, no poverty, and no abuse or violence. Jeez, I'd suggest that if you're really that concerned with the kids role models, maybe they shouldn't be allowed to look up to guys who promote and engage in acts of pretend violence for a living.

I like The Rock but well said, Punk.

It's comments like this that make kids think it's okay to #Occupy things.

Rammsteinmad 11-22-2011 07:08 AM
I agree with Punk 100%, and that's why (in kayfabe, maybe in real life too) I'm on Cena's side in all this.

I get sick of hearing the whole 'The Rock is back in the WWE' thing EVERY time he returns... for one night only.

Would love for a Rock/Punk feud though.

Also, while Rock and Punk wont be headlining WM anytime soon, a match would be off the charts. They should definitely play this up the next time Rock shows up via satellite.

Everythings a work but if it comes to anything Punk gets a nice payday.

All of this hot garbage about how The Rock is never there, this and that, although valid, is not a good argument. That's all they've got. And you know why that's all they've got? Because The Rock comes back, outperforms, out wrestles, and electrifies more in one night than anyone on the current roster does in a lifetime. Guys like Punk and Cena have jobs because of people like The Rock. How about a "Thank you Rock, because of you I get to apply my skills in the craft that is professional wrestling. I get to live my dream." You're fucking welcome. The Rock doesn't have to be there night in and night out. He did that, and he did that when it wasn't a world of social networking and it took personality AND wrestling prowess to really get over. I could go on and on.

On a side note, I am a Punk fan, he's a brilliant performer. His physique is pretty unimpressive, but that's part of his allure. His criticisms of The Rock are my only problems.

Biased or not, this is my opinion.

If anything, I'm advocating personal responsibility and not placing blame or responsibility on corporations or celebrities for "raising" today's children.

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-22-2011 02:01 PM
It's way better having a star that comes in every so often, so it actually means something when he shows up on t.v. When you see someone every week you kind of lose interest.

MoFo 11-22-2011 02:39 PM
Punk sucks....his act is so stale.....

"Wah wah The Rock is a major star and I am a no mark in a shitty field of entertainment"

Get over it fag

Seriously? If it took wrestling prowess, how the fuck did the Rock ever get popular?

He was a little above average in the ring at best. The only thing he really brought to the ring was charisma, and honestly, even that got stale pretty fuckin' quick once all his promos turned out to be generic, fill in the blank, same 14 catchphrases night after night rambling snooze fests.

The Rock fuckin' sucks. He sucked when he WAS in the fed, he sucks in Hollywood. (Seriously, what was the last GOOD movie he was in? Walking Tall, which was a remake?) Now he's just coasting on his nostalgia factor.

As was mentioned, if the stuff about Rock's backstage attitude is true, then it really does change everything.

It's way better having a star who is there every night entertaining you NOW as opposed to coasting on his reputation and acting like he own's the place when he DOES decide to show up. When stars act like entitled bitches, you kind of lose respect.

So it looks like you may have been on to something! R-Truth did the drugs because of The Rock!!!

You are a genius!!!

You don't think The Rock is a good wrestler? ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO!? Not to mention, 20,000 people saying your catchphrases with you night in and night out, selling out arenas, and captivating audiences everywhere = snooze fest. You're a moron, who are you anyway? Oh, and "above average" is definitely an indicator of someone who sucks. Nice job.

Juan 11-23-2011 01:13 AM
The bitterness toward the Rock for leaving is either sad or hilarious. Can't decide

i actually would love to see that play out, i reckon they could bring out the best in each other on the mic an there's a possibility there to have a rivalery on par with austin vs rock i think.
if nothin comes from it though i think cm punk needs to put a lid on trashin the rock, he sounds like cena when he doe's that, an cena's cut the same promo on the rock since april an its boring, guys like orton,punk need to calm down in trashin the rock, he's earnt his spot at a wrestlemania in miami by making himself the biggest name in wrestling history
