With Punk from all indicators he didn't move the needle as a main eventer. The whole "Summer Of Punk", which did get a lot of internet attention, and some mainstream attention. Didn't move the ratings(in fact I believe the ratings went slightly down during that time period, a tenth of a point or so). And as far as buyrates, he did increase the MITB ppv slightly, but you could easily say that is offset by the decline in the SummerSlam ppv that he headlined from the year before buyrate.

With The Rock WWE definitely did devalue him intentionally, and did decrease his drawing power because of that fact. With Punk even if WWE hadn't "sabotaged" or "sandbagged" his main event run, he still wouldn't have delivered at the box office.

Hell, Orton drew more money in 2009(when he was the undisputed top draw in the industry)than Punk will make in 10 careers, and put on more great matches in one month than Punk did in his entire, 7 years forgettable run. That's real comedy.

Bryan Alvarez pointed out on a funny thing during Punk's horrendous promo on RAW, "I'm going to beat Bryan and save the title and then watch Cena kick your ass" which means that he already knows how much of a failure he is and the fact that Ace is main eventing a PPV over him

u fail at life u mad

Man, how did I know this was all going to be on Punk. How about Lord Tensai? I mean I'm the last person to engage in this storm of aspergers and cheeto-dust that is the ratings thread, but I think we can all agree that nobody gives a fuck about Lord Tensai.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter

- As noted before, the May 7th WWE RAW Supershow from Greensboro, North Carolina scored a 3.01 cable rating with 4.30 million viewers. The first quarter-rating was a 3.50 but things fell apart from there.
In the segment breakdown, Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes lost 378,000 viewers and Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 465,000 more viewers. Kelly Kelly and Layla vs. Maxine and Natalya lost another 207,000 viewers. Sheamus and Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho and Alberto Del Rio at the top of the hour gained 191,000 viewers, which is weak for that timeslot - doing a 2.89 quarter-rating.

The Miz vs. Brodus Clay gained 55,000 viewers in what is usually a losing segment. Paul Heyman's return gained 123,000 viewers. CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan and Lord Tensai in the overrun actually lost viewers - 105,000 for a 2.94 rating. It's almost impossible to lose viewers in the overrun because you've got people tuning into the USA Network for their next show.

FIRST OVERRUN TO LOSE VIEWERS IN HISTORY

Then, in the scary stat of the night, HHH vs. Jeff Hardy with Cena at ringside, plus the $250,000 giveaway lost 222,000 viewers. I can’t even remember the last time a Raw main event lost viewers in the overrun, or the last time the main event did a 2.99 rating.

6/16

The absolute shocker was the HHH vs. Jericho main event lost 205,000 viewers to a 3.13 overrun. The main event almost never goes down, let alone a match that hasn’t been done in years like that and I can’t give an explanation as to why.

:hhh
