From a simple PR standpoint, I can't understand why WWE isn't having Punk do more media appearances. They should be pushing him as a major role model and proof that drugs aren't needed to succeed in wrestling. Then again, WWE does a lot of things that don't make sense.

The problem is, if you push Punk as being special because he doesn't do drugs....it insinuates that everyone else is.

I suppose WWE thinks sending tough guys on the talking head shows will help them more. Unfortunately, just because you're a tough guy doesn't mean you don't suck at debates.

Funny how he says at one point that he thinks the talent in WWE is pretty thin, then goes on to say how much talent they have later.

They just had him out at the Warped Tour last week and his appearance was shown on Fuse. Mickie James is gonna be at the show on the 28th.

I didn't know he dated Daffney. Hm.
He's pretty much the coolest guy ever.

Just sending out one guy who doesn't do drugs as his lifestyle isn't gonna change anybody's view what's going on. Nobody's gonnna say "oh this one guy doesn't do drugs so that means everything is ok"
In fact this kind of PR stunt can be counterproductive for reasons somebody else in here already mentioned and more. WWE making right choice by not sending Punk out to represent em here.
That's like saying there's no drug problem in inner cities just cause this one guy here don't do drugs.

Which is silly of them, because if you've ever seen CM Punk shoot, he's got a lightning-fast wit. He'd make all the news anchors look like buffoons just as Jericho did.

They should keep letting Finley be the mouth piece with his lack of facts and tough irish grit that Vince admires so much.
