Again I'm speaking for myself and not everyone else who's a Punk fan, he may not be the savior of professional wrestling....just for ECW. Speaking of his actual in ring stuff last night, he used a lot more strikes than I've seen him do...and he actually used the real anaconda vice, not the headlock he had used in OVW. |

![]() Vince: So what do we have up next? John Laurinitis: We've gotta great new kid here, got a really unique gimmick. Says his name is.... C.M. Punk. Vince: Ooooh, sounds promising! Where did he come from, Raw or Smackdown? John: Actually... neither. He came from the indies. Worked some ROH too. Vince: ![]() John: Nope... Vince: and he didn't come from Smackdown? I didn't make him? John: No, listen, I think we can.. Vince: No way he's going over strong. John: What? Vince: I SAID. NO FUCKING WAY I'M GONNA MAKE HIM LOOK GOOD. ![]() |

Well, I've never seen Punk wrestle before and have to say I really liked what I saw. There's alot of potential there for some good feuds, particularly with RVD. I think his image fits in perfectly with ECW and he's very athletic. Definetly adds strength to the roster as he has shown he can be entertaining IMO even without the "hardcore" rules of ECW. I also like how his first match wasn't a squash. I hate when WWE feels that in order to get "new" talent over, they have to ram them down everyones throat and prove how dominant they are. The roster isn't that deep to have multiple jobbers, so there's really only room for like one squash per episode and that angle (no pun intended) works perfectly for Angle right now.

CM Punk should do well, mainly because he isnt a spot monkey. Spot monkeys tend to get toned down to kicks and chops when they enter the 'E'.

Just saw his debut, thought it was a decent enough match for what it was.
The fact is, everyone is expecting him to come in and put on a 60 minute match to the standard of the Joe matches (which I'm willing to wager half the people who hype him haven't actually seen) be involved in some major fued, with some memorable promos and become the next superstar. Facts are facts, the guy has talent in the ring, he has a unique gimmick and he can work the mic, but this ain't Ring of Honor he's working for now. He's going to be on TV for a maximum of 10 minutes (more likely 5 or 6) each week and won't do anything like what people want or expect until either a) ECW get another hour of TV or b) They start doing ECW PPVs. I'd say people should get off his nuts until he can prove that he can bring the skills he certainly has to the big stage, and do the very best with what he's got and I'd also say that everyone who is being a detractor should actually give the guy a chance. He's had 3 (maybe 4 I can't remember) half decent introductory promos and a 6 minute match on TV, which was a pretty decent match for the time it had. The real test is how he performs in front of the bigger arena with people who don't give a fuck about him, if he can connect with the crowd, he can get over in the long term, which will potentially put him in the position to do what everyone who loves him says he's gonna do. |

Even if he does get over with the WWE fan base, it doesn't mean he'll get pushed for more than a couple of months. But I'm sure you've noticed that trend by now.
But hey at least he'd be getting paid. |

I love how Destor's booking 101 seems to defy everything WWE does, and yet is supporting a WWE choice.
Sounds like making excuses to me. |

Not that I'm saying Justin Credible should be main eventing... certainly not! But why would bookers want to headline someone as difficult to manage as Sabu?

9.5 times out of 10 the crowd would get behind Sabu more than Justin Credible

The entrance he has now is waaaaay better than his AFI entrance. The guy had a great debut, even Justin Credible seemed to be feeding off of the crowd's energy from it.
