Punk learned this time not to mess with the crazy guys beating people up. Unlike when the first batch of NXT guys came in.

I also wish they let Punk win cleanly on PPV. When was the last time that happened, Summerslam? Heels are allowed to win cleanly. Ask Dolph Ziggler. We can already see some stupid TLC match between Punk and Ryback with Punk retaning when the popcorn guy goes "rogue" and takes out Ryback. It's just dumb. Have Punk go over cleanly.

I just wish he would have a clean win or two but whatever. Okay, so people are foaming at the mouth to see Punk lose, but to whom? The Rock who only shows up a couple times a year? Cena? They need to build someone up to be the guy. I don't think Ryback beating Cena for the title is going to do much. Once again, who is the guy right now who the crowd is 100% behind?

You want Punk to go over Ryback cleanly?
That wouldn't exactly do wonders for putting a face over. Punk isn't that type of heel. He should get clean wins and not lose so much on free TV. But he shouldn't be put cleanly over Ryback. Big Show beating Sheamus for that title... THAT was incredible booking from a heel going over cleanly standpoint. Show looked like a monster and Sheamus looked like a monster who just couldn't quite get the job done. Punk is not a monster and doesn't need to be booked as such. Strong, yes. Beating Ryback clean, no. |

So another PPV with Punk retaining by a rogue security guard. Is this what it's going to be until WM? Punk beats The Rock by Lesnar interference I assume. Go over at HIAC by a rogue ring worker setting up his WM match with...who, Cena? Since it's in the NYC area Cena will be booed out of the building. Who else? Ryback? ehh, Sheamus? he's on SD. Punk is so far head and shoulders above any of his rivals on the Mic, and in the ring that it just gets me to DVR Raw and only watch a couple solid mid card matches and anthing Punk. The Vickie/Ziggler/AJ/Cena storyline is painful to watch. |

Everything you've booked after that is completely random speculation. I can totally see Rock beating Punk at the Rumble and I wouldn't be too surprised if Punk somehow retained via some crazy finish/run-in. |

I'm all for Punk facing midcarders on Raw every week though, making some of them look like they can actually kinda compete on his level before he ends up getting the win clean though.

My thoughts on heel champions looking strong is this: if Ric Flair did it, it's ok.
AND RIC FLAIR DONT WIN CLEAN, BEACHES |

Would be nice if next week Punk wore the "Macho" colors as an homage for passing Macho's reign and then Heyman/Punk make some wise remark involving him to get some cheap heat.

You've got to have a hot heel in order to make a hot babyface.

It takes one of those once in a generation (or two) guys to just get over huge as babyfaces on their own.

Even then, they still need a heel to go against.

And it was a shitload more intriguing of a main event than WWE had put on in a long time.

So you support Ryback becoming "The guy" in WWE. I don't at least as of yet. I think this is one of those cliche and cheesy "agree to disagree" type of deals. |

There was a very real possibility they put the belt on him.

Punk is going to get to number 6 over Cena and seeing that may have made Heyman legit emotional. He may have not been in the back smoking a joint with Van Dam as he likes to say. Once he gets to 6 that's it. I doubt they will hold it on him for 3 years like number 5 aka Morales. I just didn't see that possibility. I do like the concept that anyone can win the title which is why I loved Punk's first cashing in of the MITB. Can't argue that.

I do support Ryback's push but regardless...
The whole intrigue of that match was that whoever wins it's going to be a huge deal. You don't get that often anymore. It was a "big fight feel" because of it. And the fact that it was in the cell made the whole idea of someone interfering more tricky. |

And yeah, Ryback has stood in the ring with CM Punk and had an entire crowd chanting his catchphrase. It's not like they're just forcing him on people.

Ryback stood in the middle of the ring with John Cena and CM Punk - the hottest superstars of the past decade and not only held his own with the crowd, but was taking in majority of the crowd.

As I think, it's also hard because of dead crowds to get someone over. I'm willing to give this is a chance. I just hope my fears don't verify.

Crowds will never be like they were during the Attitude Era because of the amount of kids and parents who won't act like belligerent drunken hooligans. Crowds will also never be like the 80s because kayfabe is dead. The modern crowd is still excitable, but when any crowd outside of your go-to hot wrestling markets react to a star like they did with Ryback then you know you have something special.

If crowds and such aren't your barometer for how over a guy is...then what the fuck is?

This RAW was garbage.
Due to a lack of Fandango.... and a lack of BALLOONS. I was expecting Fandango to come out at the end of that whole Khali/Hornswoggle bit, while they were dancing, and being all "Mind if I.... cut in?" .... But then it turned out to really just be a pointless segment, like it appeared. |

Really enjoyed Ziggler's locker room promo. I feel like he was speaking to me...except I'm a pathetic guy who does all that. Ziggs is growing on me. That brawl has been the only good thing in this story line so far.

I love Ziggler. He has it on the mic and in the ring. Best seller in the company. Could be "the guy" one day.

Last post about this. I would have had Ryback feud with someone over the IC or US title for a while so he could build up steam, then down the road have him main event.
