I have a feeling it won't be beer. Try Coca-Cola Classic. EDIT: Or maybe an ass-soaping contest.

Right away I knew (well, assumed) it would be a beer drinking contest. Should be interesting.

They may have only announced it on WWE Mobile or whatever, but don't let that deceive you, this is the biggest segment of CM Punk's career, even moreso than the title win. Why? This is the segment that is going to show the company (and more importantly, the fans) if he can hang with someone like JBL on the microphone. I'm sure it'll be heavily scripted, but I wish they'd just let JBL and Punk go at it improv on the mic before JBL beats him over the head with the beers and pours them on him, etc. This is make or break for Punk. Whoa. Slow down there, tiger. I don't think it's quite that dire.

Anybody else think "Straightedge means I'm better than you" is the lamest thing ever? It doesn't even roll off the tongue like most catch-phrases. It's a moot point. He is never going to say it in WWE.That is his old indy heel sXe gimmick. The E will not put over indy gimmicks it didn't create.

They need to spark some interest in both world title matches. HHH will get some attention because.well. He is HHH. But Khali doesn't bring in much excitement.
punk-JBL is probably the worst Raw title match in years.
I wonder if the Edge-Taker, Cena -Batista match will main event their brands during SS. That would have to be the first time that has happen wouldn't it?

Like I said about HHH, Cena alone brings interest into the match. But seeing how much you love punk, Anything he does is gold.

But seeing how much you love punk, Anything he does is gold. No, not everything he does is gold nor did I ever say that he did, but it seems to me you really hate the guy and can't give him any sort of credit for anything at all. I thought Khali/Cena was worse than this upcoming main event, but you're entitled to your opinion.

Cena took a few years to get that main event feel, give Punk time he will get there

O'doulls, Non-alchoholic beer is still beer or Root Beer.

I thought Khali/Cena was worse than this upcoming main event, but you're entitled to your opinion. In a recent thread, I did take up for punk in his booking as WC. (Can't remember which thread it was). I ended the post saying "Wait, Did I just take up for punk"? In saying, IMO this is the worst Raw title match in years, It takes 2 to tango. Which means I'm talking about JBL as well. But of course thats not pointed out. People can rip Edge, Morrison, HHH, HBK, Cena, Batista and their fans take it in stride. But you rip punk and his fans start attacking saying "You only do it because you hate him". God forbid if we have an opinion on the guy.

A lot of non-fans kind of can't help but want to cheer Punk against JBL right now, I think. JBL's great at what he's supposed to be doing- getting people to love to hate him. Now matter what certain people's opinions are, there's going to be interest for this just because many regular fans want to see if JBL's going to wind up getting kicked to hell by Punk, or if he's going to kick Punk's ass.
No need to get into a major argument over wether or not Punk sucks, or JBL blows, or if whatever leads from this little contest is gonna bomb or not. It's a segment to garner interest for them.

In which if posters believe that, Thats their opinion and I respect that. But if someone says something negative about punks, Its only because you hate him, ITs not because you have an opinion. Most of the time I say what hardcore punk fans say about his title reign. Yet, I guess I only say it because I'm not a fan of him. I know posters that really hate Edge, When they rip him I never go and say"The only reason you said that is because you hate him". Or let it bother me.

I hope this feud with JBL and the match at SummerSlam makes Punk the champion that so many of us know he can be. Hopefully he'll get some decent mic time this Monday.

I think it will be an excellent match. If it's even half as stiff as that match with Regal a couple weeks back, it'll rule.

IMO.....Punk-Jericho would have been the better match. Heck, as Cameron Burge pointed out on his RAW RANT, Punk should have just tapped really fast when Jericho had him in the Walls, taken the one on one with Jericho, and saved himself a lot of grief at the hands of JBL.
Heck, and it would have been a terrific UP YOURS to JBL at the same time. But instead he kept stupidly fighting, and we got the lameass finish that we ended up getting.
Still, barring an HBK return at SummerSlam, I think Jericho might find his way back into this title match yet. Maybe paying Jibbles back for the kick that cost Jericho HIS WWE Title match against Orton?

See, I see the logic behind that, but that just goes against everything Punk's character is for. His charactger loves competition, and he probably would have loved a Triple-threat match.
