Now it seems to me that the WWE is wasting CM Punk. First of all, I realize a lot of responses to this argument might go something along these lines, "Hurr Hurr, But CM Punk has been World Champion 3 times Hurr Hurr". Well, I am sorry but even though that is true it DOES NOT mean in any way, shape nor form that CM Punk is being used PROPERLY by world wrestling entertainment. Let's first look at CM Punk.

Phil Brooks, better known as the indie sensation, CM Punk has received mountains of praise for his sensational and groundbreaking work in such companies as Ring Of Honor. A lot of fans wanted to see this young and EXTREMELY talented man in the biggest and greatest company of them all, WWE. Now, a lot of his fans, myself included worried that CM Punk might get thrown into the proverbial dumpster by WWE authorities. After all, is the story of a promising indie guy coming in and become a jobber with some stupid name and stupider gimmick a new one? No! A lot of us guessed that's what will happen to CM Punk.

But alas! A ray of light, we see Punk, albeit a fairly generic face at first debut on ECW where, without the interference of WWE dominant main eventers he was free to express himself and so he did, winning the ECW title in the process and becoming a fan favorite within basically seconds of coming into the company. Already a good start we said, already he is coming into his own, what COULD go wrong?

Hahaha Uncle "Vince" must've said, "I'll find a way to screw up your little favorite". Or so it seems and eventually just that happens. Of course, some may say, well if the WWE wanted to screw CM Punk, why didn't they do the same thing as what they did to his Indie best friend, Colt Cabana, better know by his AWFUL WWE gimmick of Scotty Goldman. Well, the truth is, WWE knows a piece of gold when they hold it. CM Punk is that piece of gold, they just don't know how to properly use him.

Fast forward into the future. Punk becomes champion of Smackdown after banishing one of the biggest stars of the century, Jeff Hardy out of the company. Here we have the stars aligned, Punk looking strong, and all is right. The fans hate him, they want to see him get his just desserts and the WWE throws THE UNDERTAKER at him!

THis is where I said, "YES!" because I was expecting a long drawn out Punk/Taker feud with Punk getting victories in over and over. But what we get? What does the ALMIGHTY brain conglomerate of the WWE give us? A PIECE OF CRAP! Thats right, they have Taker beat Punk like a piece of dog crap in the OPENING match of a PPV. Can you say buried? I sure can! Of course there was also the whole controversy/screwjob thing, and thats even worse. It made Punk look worse than most people on the roster. It made him lookj like a total piece of crap and not in a good,"That heel is an evil piece of crap way" but more in the "LOL guys, that guy blows ass" way.

So, over and over they keep telling us, "Hey guys, Punk sucks, Taker rules". What is the point? Taker is an ancient broken down relic of a time long gone. CM Punk is the future of the WWE, the most talented young superstar to have come by in decades. So, naturally WWE has the old dusty relic beat the young guy. And to top it off, Taker is of course, injured as usual so he will have to drop the title back to CM Punk again.

It sometimes seems to me that WWE booking is accomplished by a man smacking himself into a wall because this is what we, the fans, feel. We don't want to see Old Man Taker who is always injured, hold the top gold. No! We want to see the man with the future, a young, fresh new star like Punk hold it.

What does Bragging Rights hold for us? Let us, anD BY us, I mean TRUE WWE and wrestling fans that this will be redemption and that CM Punk will CLEANLY beat Taker in the match. Of course, knowing the WWE, it will be another "Punk cheats to win" victory and he will again be seen as nothing more than a piece of crap.

Now perhaps, I get too much into this. I admit I do, I think about the WWE and the storylines on a daily basis, I am a hardcore fan. But even those who turn to watch once in a while will admit that the WWE booking of CM Punk is equivalent to shooting yourself in your ass because whether they like it or not, they WILL need a star like CM Punk in the future and if they keep wasting him, then the WWE will be crying about why he doesn't draw to be on top and the truth will be, because you guys made him look like crap to make an old shell like The Undertaker feel good about himself.

Hopefully tonight at Bragging Rights, Punk will be REDEEMED and beat Taker with the 'Vice and finally regain the credability that was taken from him by the WWE.

For the sake of the future of the WWE.

How many here think this way?

Now I am sure there might be old school Taker fans who watched for years and want to see nothing more than their man on top. I get it, but, you gotta admit, even Taker himself has got to admit, the man is too old, too broken down, too covered in cobwebs so to speak to be headlining the company anymore. He needs to head to "Special Attractions-Ville".
