For those of you skeptical about CM Punk and "ball dropping"

It's about how something could be done much better, regardless of who or what it is. In this case it happens to be CM Punk. For the record, when Punk was holding out on resigning, I said that the WWE would be fine without him and that him leaving wouldn't hurt that much. But that isn't what happened. He's starting to get pretty big, and when the WWE begins fucking it up, and people say, hey, the WWE is fucking this up, there are better discussions to be had as opposed to "PEOPLE ARE BITCHING THAT THIS GUY DID THIS AND THIS" and blah blah. Chavo, your assumption that I'm biased based on a graphic in my signature is far more biased than anything I said in the op.

How can you say the WWE has fucked up if we haven't even had the payoff/ conclusion of the storyline yet? Unless he goes out and jobs to Zack Ryder on Raw tonight, Punk's still in the highest profile feud in the WWE and will likely face off with and beat Nash eventually and continue up the chain the same way Austin did against Bret and Shawn during his run. Hell, like most memorable wrestlers that aren't John Cena.

Don't you think it's possible that they're building up to something bigger by introducing Miz/Truth? Don't you think it's going to make more people rally around Punk by him being fucked over in that match than having him win that match? Doesn't it make more sense to have your "next big guy" lose in the short term on minor PPVs and win in the long term on major PPVs like Survivor Series, the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania than be booked like Cena where he wins all the time and people grow tired of it?
