CM Punk every week, at first continues to get huge face pops and reactions and has the hard tasks of going out there and cutting two promos at once.

Im a big Punk mak but his promo tonight was pretty poor (good job he backed it up with a great solid match). He was just using some lame sophomoric lines but it is kind of hard to progress a story line when your rival isn't there.

PROMO 1 = Personal cheap insults to the crowd/city to enable him to get heel heat as to remind the crowd he is heel as they are intent on giving him a face reaction.

PROMO 2 = The main point a and development of the story line.

He does this perfectly, but I do feel this is why some people find him repetitive because every week he has to remind these guys he is a heel. It isn't that he is a bad heel because frankly he is one of the top heels of all time but he is so popular that he is every week having to go over old ground.

I'm a gigantic Punk mark, but his promo during the first hour was embarassing.

*comes out to mixed reaction*
"I was screwed!"
*Mixed reaction*
"You're all ugly stupid fat losers!"
*boos*
"Four eyes!"
*mixed reaction*
"STUPID UGLY FAT POOR LOSERS oh and I'm facing the rock at EC"
*boos*

And then the crowd chanted his name during the Y2J/Punk match.
This heel run reminds me of Austin's heel run. The crowds want to cheer him, so he insults them. Then he gets dead heat because they want to cheer them but they are too offended to to do so.

Got to agree.

It doesn't help that the guy he is feuding with isn't there, it kind of makes it difficult to progress the feud any where. Especially when it is two/three weeks away.

I've been a fan of Punk for several years but I am sick of the cheap heat & the "You all are losers, I was screwed, you're all fat etc" stuff. Everybody here knows he's better than that and CAN do better than that and has done better than that. In fact, he proved it again with that promo he did a few weeks ago before The Rock came out and did the Cookie Puss crap. He can be a great heel without all that. Granted, he probably couldn't go a month without doing some insults because most heels do that, it's in the book imo, but he doesn't have to do it every sentence and promo he does.

Yeah he went overboard with the crowd bashing today.


They should just let him do his thing like Cena does (aka don't bash as much). WWE needs to recognize that old-fashioned heel tactics aren't as effective as they used to be.

Punk essentially cut 3 promos in the opening segment: he denied being involved in the heyman thing, he had to diss the crowd and try to sell his match in a few weeks. Guy is doing too much.


And of course it doesn't help that 2hrs later Shield basically admits they were involved with Heyman blowing the whole thing to smithereens
