CM Punk just took low-hanging fruit, used it for cheap pops and didn’t back up his push with the business metrics to justify it.

I get people not taking him seriously, feeling he’s overrated or love pointing out the hypocrisy behind his seemingly sincere statements, but in a wrestling context he was just a guy whose gimmick was “Fed bad.” That worked to the crowd.

That he hasn’t evolved and can’t draw now is bigger criticism for him than the whole Summer of Punk ‘11 not holding up (which I don’t think it does outside MITB as a match)
