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. 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. Exactly. They need to give it up. This is the most failed attempt at a heel turn since Eddie Guerrero in 2003. At least they didn't drag Eddie's out for the better part of a year before correcting it. There is NOTHING they can do to get "wrasslin'" fans to boo CM Punk. As soon he cut that promo in Las Vegas and the subsequent weeks where he just put the WWE Machine on blast, he became a permanent babyface to the jaded WWE audience who are sick of the status quo.

That was seriously one of the worst promos all around that I've seen in quite some time. A stupid concept, and then Taker and Punk both sucked out loud. It's pretty clear that Punk was the only top guy free for Taker to face at Mania and neither guy is really into the angle at all.

I liked it. What was the problem? It's a mere weeks before Wrestlemania.. Him and Taker both should have been on their A game Punk seemed disinterested, and uninspired. It sounded like he was phoning it in, there was a lack of intensity to what he was saying, if that was the one promo I caught to get me believing in the feud then he failed.. There was no way I would think that man last night could beat the undertaker.

I always respect your opinion on here and glad you can agree to mine.. Punk is my favorite guy right now but I'm calling it for what it was and that's shit..

There was no way I would think that man last night could beat the undertaker. I don't think he seemed like someone who could beat Taker 123 either but he seemed to be taking the route of being as disrespectful as possible to try and get Taker DQed. And his delivery always sounds laid back like that to me as far as intensity goes. There was no reason to get too hyped up since they weren't face to face anyway.

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 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 Agreed wholeheartedly. If you can only be assed to give a damn about matches you're booked to win, I just can't get with that.

I liked it, but disliked Undertaker's reaction to the whole thing. Just sort of a "well, guess I'll go home now" after the package aired. shit, have him shoot lighting at the screen or something. Anything.

I thought it was excellent. Juggling the urn and the Bearer impression was just so diabolically evil that it was superb.

There's no passion it seems like. Punk's basically a giggling cartoon villain a and Taker seems mildly irritated most of the time.
I didn't expect much from the feud, but something different from this. Maybe Punk being really pissed off that someone like him busts his ass, but gets overshadowed by the likes of Taker showing up once a year and he rants about he'd gladly destroy a 20 plus year legacy, break the fans hearts, and ruin the Phenom's life if the spotlight was on himself just a little more.
And Taker being enraged by Punk's actions to the point where he's going on a rampage, attacking any security or wrestlers who get in his way and burning an effigy or shirt of Punk on the air.
Instead its Punk being a troll and Undertaker glaring at him.

According to Dave Meltzer on last night's Wrestling Observer radio, Punk is having some problems with WWE creative. Maybe he didn't want to do that lame Paul Bearer impersonation?

Only this time, with more dark and gloomy and creepy trimmings from camp Taker?

Not so much righteous firebrand as sleazy SOB who can't stand the idea of Taker honoring a dead man, let alone letting him have the spotlight at Mania. Hell the notion of winning by DQ or countout to beat the streak should be a big deal; a demonstration that Punk would end such a legendary legacy by such cheap means to get people talking about him.

Better than your spelling. Didn't know Punk posted here. Honest to god, that's the kind of response he would give to someone on twitter.

Punk's whole heel turn had this attempt at burning intensity and rage. He went from furious that his title was stolen from him to the least intense, least inspired promo I've even seen from him going into a streak match. There was no passion or intent in it, in contrast to what Punk usually delivers(even when I don't like the material or angle), and that's what made his promo last night the drizzling shits to me. It was atrocious.
