CM Punk: The NEW WWE Champion

[Deleted]

w00t! Appreciate it here. SO wearing my BITW shirt when I go to relatives for Thanksgiving.

Oh, we got this video from Punk before his match. Courtesy of WWE's YT account.



YES! HE'S THE F***ING CHAMPION AGAIN!

[moneyman20]

Hell yeah. I marked like a SOB for that.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

Vince probably thinks Colt Cabana is a band.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Was a great moment, that crowd, the Fink, making Del Rio submit; fun times.

[Rican]

What a great moment. I'd love to hear Punk's take on which meant more between this and MITB. Gotta be damn close.

MITB: his hometown, beat the top star, family and Colt in attendance, left the company with the title and kissed Vince good-bye.

Survivor Series: won the title in the freaking Garden, Fink introduced him and announced him as winner.

Both fantastic moments.

[Mayonnaise]

Loved it. Really didn't expect it tonight, thought they'd hold off until next month.

I prefer him over del Rio and while I don't much like him as a main-eventer this should make for a good change of pace since Punk on top is something that hasn't really been explored, but del Rio should've held it until TLC. It just makes him look bad because this entire feud was totally one-sided.

[MGH]

Apparently, he's the fourth guy to win the WWE Title at MSG since 1984. I think it's him, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan and Eddie Guerrero.

[The Ichi]

Punks probably had the best year in the company and he got it by trashing the company. How incredible is that?

[rapidfire187]

Great moment. I hope they go somewhere good with it. My only complaint is that the match didn't quite tear the place down like I was expecting, but it was still very good. Maybe they'l do Punk/Del Rio in a TLC match or something next month and they'll really go all out then.

Eddie won it at the Cow Palace.

Also, guy with the most PPV losses this year beat the guy with the most PPV wins. Says a lot about how much winning and losing really matters, eh?

[Heartbreaker]

I'm soooooo happy he won!

Wishing that this can be a very long reign, going into Wrestlemania.

It means it's unpredictable and anyone can win at any time. By any other logic, once someone gets on a sufficient winning streak it doesn't make sense for them to ever lose again.

Bret, Hogan, Punk. That's a HELL of a group here.

Now, give the man a PROPER title run. I hope he keeps it until AT LEAST Summerslam.

This makes me a bit sad that "a very long reign" these days counts as Survivor Series to Wrestlemania.

But so glad Punk won the title. I agree in hoping he'll finally get a good run with it, for sure.

[Ginger Beer Man]

Best part of the night.

[Hammer Smashed Ball]

So psyched right now.

Eddie retained at MSG. Benoit won the WHC there.

I think you forgot Sid. Punk as the champion again isn't bad but for some reason I just don't care. And I like Punk.
