Mr. Straight Edge: Destined for Greatness (spoilers)

It's taken a little time, but I like what I've seen out of Punk so far. I got a couple friends that are huge Punk marks, mainly due to his ROH stuff, and constantly brag about him. But I wanted to see what he could do in ECW before I officially decided. Even though I would like to see him pull out the Pepsi Plunge, maybe on a ppv.

But as much as I like RVD, Punk maybe headed down his path. Punk getting a bigger pop than DX on Sunday, and HHH immediately noticing it, makes me think that he will be on the RVD path. I'd hate to see that happen, but it could.

The one thing that Punk has got going for him is that he is close to being a "homegrown" talent. Vince likely doesn't consider ROH competition. And I doubt most of ROH's fanbase watches WWE. So it's hard to say whether or not he brought his fanbase in with him. But since he was never a big star in TNA, WCW, or even the original ECW, I think he might be pushed.
