Remember when Linda wanted to distance herself from wrestling?

Yeah, it was 2006. Survivor Series was in Philly, the crowd was a little smarky, and they gave the then undefeated CM Punk a good welcome, but nothing too outstanding right away. DX, The Hardys and Punk were warming up the crowd and they decided to chant for CM Punk as Triple H was trying to do his shtick. He improvised well and got CM Punk to deliver the "Are you ready?" line, but I found it funny when later that week, Punk lost his undefeated streak to Hardcore Holly, and the following weekend was the first to be eliminated from the infamous Extreme Elimination Chamber, also by Hardcore Holly, I believe. Punk probably should not have won the match (a heel turn for Bobby Lashley screwing over Rob Van Dam or Punk would have been the smarter booking), but it seemed a little weird that Punk gets that moment at Survivor Series, and then loses all his momentum.
