Superstar Billy Graham at it again

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CM PUNK

I watch the last hour of WWE Raw last night. It was the worst excuse for a show I have ever seen! My agent Scott is tight with legendary World Champion Bruno Sammartino. Scott has told me that WWE has been calling Brunno regularly begging him to go into the Hall of Fame. Bruno has been polite but has always said no thank you.

Tonight on RAW for the last 45 minutes of the show all they did was have CM PUNK talk, talk and more talk! The killer line came when Vince had Punk putting over his 314 straight days as world champ and then said and I quote, " you had people like Burno Sammartino , only wrestled in Madison Square Garden only wrestled one a month.”

This was by far the biggest put down of Bruno ever. Why would WWE have Punk say that about someone they have been begging to go into the Hall of Fame for untold years? When that teenager looking CM Punk made that statement he was also talking about me, Ivan Kolloff , Stan Hanson etc. Find the re run and listen closely and answer me this my Facebook friends - How can they justify putting down a real icon like this, and not get called out on it?

Any news sites can quote me on my statement below:

CM Punk, I have lost all respect for you for nor saying no to the writers of the WWE for saying Bruno Sammartino only wrestled once a month in Madison Square Garden. You talk about one of the greatest icons ever in pro wrestling like he was a JOBBER??? You should be ashamed of yourself for not having the self-dignity to say NO to the writers on that line. That line you delivered indicates that I am a big loser like Bruno as well and insults me as I wrestled in the same era as Bruno. This only confirms more that I want my name out of the WWE Hall of Fame.

How many monthly sell outs have you yourself drawn at Madison Square Garden? Not a PPV or the Raw TV show. Quit talking trash about Bruno. It’s an insult to him and all the wrestlers of his era including myself!

Superstar Billy Graham

Kind of odd that Billy Graham of all people doesn't seem to know the concept of heels saying bad and/or untrue things, but whatever.

[Cronant]

It was all real back then, I guess.

[A Platypus Rave]

... he knows it's a show right?

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

He does realise it's all part of the show... right?

EDIT:

Damn you to hell #Skelldertaker.

All Punk would have to do is give Superstar a salary. Then Superstar would call him the greatest wrestler in the world.

Sadly, I completely believe that.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

IT'S STILL REAL TO HIM

314?

He has a point only in the sense that I could see Bruno being annoyed by the comment if he had tuned in or if it gets back to him.

One of the old rules of wrestling is that you don't have a heel say anything bad about a babyface if he potentially has a point - especially a non-kayfabe point like that. Never in a million years would a heel in their day criticize a face champion in that manner. Bruno and Graham aren't going to get the subtleties of modern heel characters. I'm not saying the WWE should alter its content forever in some hopeless attempt to lure Bruno to the HOF. But if its really important for them to have him in this year, and they think there's a chance for it to happen, stuff like that certainly isn't going to help

Kayfabe lives!

The biggest marks are always the wrestlers themselves.

"I WANT OUT OF THE HALL OF FAME BECAUSE A HEEL SAID SOMETHING BAD ABOUT BRUNO"

[willywonka666]

Bad move. They will most likely mention this next week

[Lardlad]

There are very few people I cannot stand in this business, but Billy Graham is one of them.

I hope Punk tweets about this in a fun way.

[PKO]

Has he done this before?

It's kinda funny that someone in the wrestling business doesn't get how the wrestling business works.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Punk also said Hogan had it easy. Are you going to get mad about that Billy Graham?

I guess I see his point, after all a villain shouldn't be hated. His job isn't to get fans to dislike him, and want to see him get his ass kicked.

If he's getting paid by WWE he loves them, if he isn't he'll blast them as much as possible.

In one of Jericho's books he called Billy Graham a has been, and Graham put up a video response. He said he wasn't a has been, and to prove it showed a photo of a match he had in the 70s in MSG.

At least he refrained from, "CM PUNK, I AM GOING TO COME TO CHICAGO AND I AM GOING TO RIP OUT YOUR INTESTINES WITH A SPOON!"

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

He knows it's a show?

"Why a spoon, cousin? Why not something like a battleaxe or a sword?"

[The Heenan Family]

Because it's dull you twit. It'll hurt more!!




Seriously though, why did WWE even approve that line to begin with? If you're courting Bruno Sammartino, wouldn't you try to not invoke his name and career in a negative way? You and I know that these old timers hate Vince Jr and could easily take such a line as a cheap shot. So why doesn't WWE know this?

Maybe a deal couldn't be reached and this is WWE being bitter and taking a parting shot. Or maybe a deal has been reached and this is leading to a confrontation between CM Punk and Bruno Sammartino next week on the 20th anniversary show or in 2 months when RAW returns to Pittsburgh?
