He was kinda feuding with Holly at the time, wasn't he?
It was at least a series of matches.

Not really. Bob Holly was brought over from whatever brand he was on, and they wanted to establish him. So he beat somebody who had a winning streak. People look way too far into things.

Well, did some research, there were two Punk vs. Holly matches that ended 2006 (Dec. 12th and 19th).
Punk vs. Holly 3 was the January 9th, 2007 match where Punk finally lost one.
So, at least it wasn't random loss to random opponent.
...and, with the exception of a Matt Striker loss somewhere, Punk just kept winning week after week in the months after the Holly loss. So I doubt Punk was wallowing over "the loss that derailed his momentum".

I think I saw that live. Was it the same show where Undertaker and Kane reunited to fight Booker T and JBL I think, smackdownwise?
Main event was RVD winning a threeway against I think Test and... um... Sabu?

Maybe this was supposed to lead to Spacecore Holly. That would be an epic gimmick change for Holly. |

I'm wondering if giving Holly the first recognized win over Punk was a reward for Holly's brutal table bump.
You remember the one.

Anyone remember that story about Tony Atlas chewing out Punk for wearing wrist tape?
I think that this is the "punishment" for this (Punk disrespecting Atlas).
