Y'know, I hated that storyline honestly How....why...what.... It just bugged me. The main issue I took with it is that Punk at no point looked remotely like a threat. He lost to Morrison repeatedly, he lost to Khali, he lost to Mysterio, he was so incompetent he couldn't even get himself counted out at Night of Champions... Add in me not thinking Punk is particularly good on the mic, and even then he completely blew Jeff out of the water on that front throughout, it removes a lot of the appeal, and while there was a lot of good wrestling during that period (mostly due to Morrison's involvement) the actual matches between Jeff and Punk I found consistently disappointing. Especially the TLC match which I mostly just found boring; Taker's arrival was probably the best part and the feud that came from that was infinitely worse. Plus Punk's turn didn't really make any sense; no one really seemed to be judging for it but he was kind of acting like they were, and even though fans didn't really seem to be booing him for it they just kind of went with him turning heel anyway. It basically just didn't work for me on any level. Though I did like how SmackDown in 2009 had its numerous top storylines - like Edge & Jericho and the Mysterio feud, the stuff with Morrison, the Punk / Hardy feud, and all that - woven together in a way that felt pretty natural and led to some good variety. I can see where someone would like it - if someone's more of a fan of heel Punk than I am (as a face, I can tolerate him; as a heel, I generally find him completely unwatchable unless he's going full-on comedy with it), liked the matches more than I do, and doesn't mind the ways it didn't make sense then sure, I could see where someone would like it. The beatdowns were generally pretty good at least, if a bit lengthy. |

Ah, that was such a great feud. I wasn't really watching WWE at the time but I heard about Punk turning heel and cashing-in at the PPV and I thought I had to tune in to see what was going on. I drifted out again after the feud ended but damn was that fun to watch. And CM Hardy was pretty awesome.

Which one is the one where Punk tells the medics to fix Jeff so he can break him again?
