I thought the Punk/Rock segment was amazing. They certainly weren't shooting on each other. I agree about Punk's promo before The Rock came out, though. That sucked, IMO. But isn't what you would've liked Punk to do somewhat shooting, the thing you just said you didn't like?

Basically, this is all about Rock wanting revenge for Raw 1000, Rock wanting the WWE Championship, and CM Punk wanting to prove to everyone that he is the best in the world. It's got a great face/heel dynamic right now, I think we should wait another week before we really start making judgements on this feud, because it's just started.

i'm not that against shooting, if it's done for a reason and there's a decent storyline/backstory. Shooting for the sake of shooting, like WWE made Rock and Punk do this week, and Cena/Rock in pretty much all their promos, is just bad booking. Why was Punk's shoot promo before MITB such a success? There was actually a backstory to it and the whole storyline of him leaving with the title was compelling. Also it was all the frustrations build up inside him finally coming it, there was a base to it, can't say the same for these promos.

Yeah i don't want to make judgements so early either, but it looks like they're taking the route of 'SHOOT ON EACH OTHER EVERYWEEK', and that's going to kill this feud just like Rock/Cena.

A bit strange to be doing another Rock concert, they only have two episodes of Raw left and it seemed to me like their feud was going to be more serious/straight up (if that makes sense). Kinda feels out of context as Rock316AE says. I'm sure I'll enjoy it though, last year's one was the highlight of the Rock-Cena feud for me. Hopefully there is some action within it and not just Rock singing and that's it, have Punk come out and interrupt or whatever.

Also III (minus the botched ending) was better than II. Neither comes close to the first one in Sacramento though.

It won't happen but they really should put Punk over at the Rumble. Obviously his reign has been amazing and he's already a big star but a win would really put him over the top and elevate him. You can have Rock win at EC or Mania, just give Punk a win first.

I don't know if the concert does anything to build the match up but I guess they already did that with last week's promo and he's working the 21/1 RAW and 22/1 SD as well so I wouldn't be surprised if they'll have another confrontation for the final sell.

I love a good Rock concert :Rock but I guess I was just hoping for something different, I'm not sure if it's fitting for this feud. Last year, it was perfect because it was a very non physical feud, all thrash talk, so Cena's shit rapping and a Rock concert made sense.

For this feud though, I was hoping he would do something else, since this seems to be a physical feud. Rock is going to do his concert and CM Punk is just gonna respond with

Let's just see how it plays out first I guess.

He's not.

but a win would really put him over the top and elevate him

If Cena putting him over FOUR times in 15 months didn't do it, maybe there's just nothing to rub on Punk. Even a clean win over Dooowayne won't do anything to his standing and relevance.

If Rock loses to Punk, he has to be taken out by Lesnar, and HHH is lurking so I don't know. And if Punk is entering Mania with the title, he simply should not lose the title to Cena MY GOODNESS. Cena going over Punk in New Jersey and then opening Raw in New York, I believe? I don't know man...lol

I guess this is the appropriate thread to vent in?

But I am sick and tired of people moaning about how The Rock winning the title is a slap in the face to the other wrestlers. Not necessarily on this forum, but in general.

Apprently The Rock winning it is so disrespectful, I really don't get how a wrestling legend winning the belt is so awful, am I crazy or something?

Nope you're not crazy, one of the more rational people actually. Nothing bad about the Rock winning the belt, it's just that Punk gets more out of beating the Rock.

Who would they rather Punk dropped the belt to is my question?
