CM Punk
 

All right, so I watched his debut tonight. He wasn't bad, but he didn't exactly look like the savior of wrestling. What is there that I should be looking forward to from him?

It had better, Joey Slugs, or I'm going to hold you personally responsible.

The guy is the total pagage. One match isn't going to show you what he is about. Wait for a fued, his money is in his psycology. When he has a feud to play with you should see.

I got a friend who is a HUGE CM Punk mark, and he's always saying how great he is, and god's gift to wrestling. Usually this friend likes a bunch of crappy people, so I'm a little skeptical. This first match wasn't too bad, but not that impressive. So, I'll just have to wait and see what he can really due to judge.

I haven't even seen his match from last night and I don't care, he's the real messiah of ECW

He is CM Punk, 'nuff said.

Also, he blatantly ripped off Kenta's Busaiku knee setup combo. (And probably Tenzan's Anaconda Vice and setup, but I'm not positive if someone did it before Tenzan.)

LEsson of the day... CM Punk likes his puroresu.

If I haven't seen it, it's new to me!
(didn't ABC use that catch phrase?)

NBC

Whatever it was, it's new to me!

He was a big fish in a small pond. Probably had the best mic skills on the indie circuit. Like a lot of them when they get on a bigger stage they can't live up to the expectation that other people put on them and to people who haven't seen them wrestle before they are all 'What's the big fuss".

He had an intense feud with Raven even in some of the shittier indie feds like MLW. The one in TNA wasn't so good and I was a little disappointed with that, maybe because he was in a tag team with Julio Dinero (no disrespect intended).

I like CM Punk because he had probably the best in-ring psycology and the best mic skills on the indie circuit. He also made a colour commentator on ROH.

Look forward, AT, to his story tellling in matches and especially in any decent feuds that are given to him. Plus he is a decent wrestler at the end of the day so at least he knows a few decent moves.

Yeah, anaconda vice is prettty popular now, but he can't think of his own combo?

Considering who is working for the WWE right now, he's better than say about 90% of them.

lmao @ supporters already having to make excuses for him when all I've read is that his debut is supposed to be the greatest thing in the history of wrestling. [SLIGHT hyperbole, but you get my point.]

ROFL. All the excuses.

Well I never said he was the greatest thing ever, I was excitied to see a really talented guy busting his ass in the indys for years, finally making it. I've never hyped that Punk was going to change wrestling or anything, but he is defiantely a change of pace to the crap we've been getting.

It's possible neither the Pep nor I were addressing you. :o

Well, I HAVE been very vocal about Punk so I'm just clearing my name. ;)

Have you been?

To be honest, all the Punkgasms are kind of blending together, so I've more or less tuned most of them out.

Excuses? He had an excellent debut. No need for excuses.

God damnit, he's not Jesus. I hate you, Innovator.

Wow thats funny KK, cause I was tuning out all your Punk bashing.

Trying to tone down the markdom I got for the guy, considering him and Joe saved my interest in wrestling. AT, wait until he gets into a feud and cuts some promos, since thats what made him in his feud against Raven.

Jaton, he ain't Jesus, but he's still better than you

I kid, I kid. I liked his debut.

He seems decent enough

I don't have a problem with the guy. I'd actually love to see a straight edge heel character. It's just that I was reading some other threads, and people are all "OMFG! CM PUNK VERSUS TRIPLE H AT WM23!"....or at least placing him in positions like that. It just doesn't seem very viable at this point. Best of luck to him, I guess, but so far I've only seen one pretty decent match. Those promos he cut in his lead-in did nothing for me.

Actually, he had a good match with Val Venis on Heat like a year ago. That was better than last night's match, but then again, Val Venis is better than Justin Credible.

That's okay, because you're a retard. :love:

What's funny is my "punk bashing" stems from tards like you who started bitching at me when I merely said that CM punk was nowhere near what he was hyped to be (Which isn't saying much, since nobody's that good, and I've explained it in the past). Oh, and I think Straightedge is retarded, something I've maintained since before you little girls knew who CM punk was or what a Straightedge was.

But it was fuckwits like you who pulled the whole "YOU QUESTIONED AN ELEMENT OF PUNK YOU PUNK HATER!!!!!!!1111oneoneoneoneone" So, I decided to have fun with y'all.

And I still maintain: He can't live up to his hype, because you stupid fucks have built him up too high for anyone to possibly live up to. It actually diminishes his accomplishments in the process.

Wow. I just realised how much internet smarks are all just a little like Takerlover.

TakerLover has a leg up on most because he has a bitchin' catchphrase.

REST IN PEACES :mad: :foc:

True, but if you threw STR8EDG4LYF at the end of some of these Punk posts...

Sorry, forgot the :mad::foc: at the end. :o

That has potential.

Not like I have any room to talk, anyway. I'm a Chris Masters fan.

Yeah, but I don't recall you being as retarded about the whole ordeal as the Punk camp goes. Though I may just be getting senile in my old age...WOOOOOOOO!

I'm not straight edge, never was and won't ever be. Yeah I agree that Punk got a lot of hype....from me....but thats like having a local band you've followed since they played at your local bar get signed, and now they are touring arenas and get airtime on the radio. I've followed him for a long time, and he's made it bigtime.

Now I can't speak for the other little girls, but I knew about straight edge for a long time before I discovered Punker....right around the time I started drinking.

No one can live up to the hype, thats the beauty of wrestling message boards. If the internet was bigger back in 95, you'd be saying how Eddie or Malenko didn't live up to the hype, its just how it goes now.

has CM Punk ever taken painkillers? Or do they not count as drugs

I remember he didn't take pain medication when he got his skull fractured, so if he didn't then, probably still doesn't.

Never claimed you were. Just that the CM fanclub used it as a reason to assume that I was prejudiced against punk beyond all reason. I mean, OMG, he thinks Straightedge is stupid, that's a shot at our lord and savior!

It's pretty much the same thing I saw with Burchill. The argument went this way:

Fanboy: OMG look at the video! Watch this man fly!

Me: Do you really think WWE's going to let him keep doing those sick aerial moves?

Fanboy: Shut up! Stop hating on Burchill!

The truth is, I was largely impressed by Burchill. He's got some amazing moves and an extraordinary amount of talent. What people judged the statement on is my criticism of stating, in this case, that him flying meant something positive for WWE.

In fact, every time I say something about Punk, you seem to take it personally. Your response, for example, to the straightedge statement. Why tell me you are not straightedge? Did I call you straightedge, or did I say something like, "omething I've maintained since before you little girls knew who CM punk was or what a Straightedge was?"

I think it was the latter, and that's not calling you Straightedge. It's just saying I dun been aginit since before you fucks knew what it was.

In terms of hyping a local band that makes it big, there's a difference between what most people do, and what you and yours have done. Very rarely will you see this level of fanaticism from someone who's "just happy" to see a small act signed. And when you do, it's because it's an obsession, not because you're happy to see them make it big.
