That Punk Promo was horrible

[BiloxiParish]

I expected a lot out of Punk he's my favorite guy in WWE right now and probably my favorite since Benoit passed, but last nights promo was horrid, him and taker both looked like they were phoning it in.

It missed the mark in me

Better than your spelling.

I thought it was fine and his Bearer impersonation was gold. As was him tossing the urn around willy nilly.

Well you sure showed him, You took his argument and dissected it word for word, bravo.


Anyway, IIRC punk wasn't thrilled about this match from the get go, Doesn't help when your told to ham up the heel tactics worse then M.Bison in the street fighter movie

I really liked it, myself. As 4real said, him tossing around the urn that means so much to 'Taker like it was nothing was awesome - especially him dropping it.

I wonder if that part was planned or if he did legit drop it? The "oh, shit!" makes me think it was an accident. Either way, I dug the promo.

[Allie Kitsune]

It's kind of meta, really.

"I respect you SO little, I'm going to phone in my promos!"

They didn't even have him appear in front of the live crowd last night, I thought that was pretty weird. Just one backstage segment where his words were secondary to urn-juggling.

now THAT would save the angle.

Punk: the day that CM Punk graced your little urn ceremony was the most important day in your life. but for me, it was Monday.

Because the crowd would had cheered him. At this point, he could piss on Paul Bearer's headstone and people would cheer while declaring he's the greatest heel of all time.

Punk from an interview at a Comicon:

I like being in situations where you don't know who's going to win, where there's drama. I think the Undertaker thing... whoever wrestles him, I feel it's a foregone conclusion, you know what I mean? There needs to be some drama and stuff.

Between that and 'Taker doing the same promos he's always done - it's not shocker this feud won't exactly set the world on fire.

[BigWill]

It sounded fine to me.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I thought it was okay, nothing great but not awful. I enjoyed the Paul Bearer impression and Punk casually tossing the urn

[StuntGranny®]

I thought it was awful as well. Punk juggling the urn like a moron and then 'accidentally' dropping it was just goofy. Not to mention Punk droning on and on. Then the awkward silence afterward just made it all the worse, in my opinion.

[PKO]

Thought it was quite good myself.

[The Heenan Family]

I thought it was great.

I can't hold a grudge if he isnt thrilled with the angle/match, that's his right.

Doesnt give him an excuse to phone it in

That's the same reason I thought. I don't know what they're going to do with this guy. They pretty much have to turn him face, or keep having him get chants at the most inappropriate times. There was a small CM Punk chant after he dropped the urn. About as loud as the Triple H chant at the end of the night.

[Thunderbolt]

That's seriously the only time I've ever thought Punk gave a really bad promo.

After the last 4 Taker Mania matches being something epic, this was already underwhelming, and now it almost got depressing. Punk just isn't credible against Taker, the angle was nothing to start with, and now Punk is giving the worst promo of the WWE career going into a streak match...ugh.

[Pushed to the Moon]

I liked it. What was the problem?

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

and the funny thing is, as soon as it's done Punk turns face again and much like sociopathic asshole Randy Orton I'm sure he never gets any real comeuppance and we just have to accept other faces liking him again at face value
