CM Punk chants during AJ Lee segments/matches

[Shanman]

Does this piss anyone off? Not only is it incredibly disrespectful, it's downright annoying that people chant for CM Punk as if they're so smart for knowing that they're dating. I think it's a double standard if I ever heard of one - people wouldn't be chanting a divas name during a superstar's match if they were dating off screen.

This whole thing needs to just stop.

CM Punk chants in general are annoying, not just AJ's segments.

[Allie Kitsune]

It pisses me off.

It gives the impression that AJ is only over because she's Punk's Surrogate, and therefore "still" represents the "Revolutionary trying to destroy WWE from within in the name of RoH".

I have grown so sick of the CM Punk chants and this is coming from a fan of the guy. He did not get unjustly fired or released, he walked out and went home. I do not think its fair to AJ that she gets those chants.

[Shanman]

As a performer she deserves better. And just to be clear, I'm not saying they can't chant that, because they paid tickets and they can do what they want theoretically. I'm just saying that if they're chanting that then they are sexist morons, and the whole thing shows how pervasive sexism is in the WWE and in culture in general.

Yeah, it's annoying as hell. The chants aren't funny or clever, it's just an attempt by the chanters to get themselves over and show how "smart" they are.

If it means getting Damien Sandow to dress up as CM Punk when Raw comes to Chicago, it'll all be worth it.

its been made pretty clear Punk is done ( at least for at least a good while , im hopefull he will eventually return ) so the chants are from smarks being smarks and the casual fans joining in , IMO AJ is one of the best female characters they have had in a long time ( Mickey James comes to mind) - she deserves more respect ,

Yes please , the above has to happen

They are annoying, but to put things into perspective there are far worse things they could be chanting during a women's match

I honestly couldn't care less about CM Punk chants. They don't bother me at all.

You say that, but one of the signs I saw as I was leaving the building on Raw was something to the effect of "WWE, Please Reinstate CM Punk!" Until the day CM Punk finally publicly says that he left on his own, there will still be people who believe that he's being held down by "the man".

Thank God that the "We want puppies" chants have died down over the years.

"He's just saying that because he knows if he tells the truth the WWE will bury AJ."

"WE WANT BENOIT!" *clap clap clapclapclap* "WE WANT BENOIT!" *clap clap clapclapclap*

Punk is to blame in a sense. If he was going to leave or take a break, he should have done an angle which explains his absence. Otherwise fans will continue to chant for him out of some misguided notion that they are supporting someone who's been wronged.

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

I don't get why they chant his name. Do they think he'll come back if they say his name 3 times, like Beetlejuice?

[lildude8218]

why aren't fans chanting "TYSON KIDD" during Natalya matches?

I honestly don't think it's sexism as much as it is that Punk seriously has a creepy Manson-esque Cult of Personality (no pun intended) around him, and that people will glom onto anything even remotely connected to him as a way to say "Screw You Vince, we want Punk even if he's retired!"

If WWE brought back Domino, he'd get Punk chants too.

I hope they never stop chanting for him just to piss you guys off even more.
