...This year, and I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who appreciates it. I still get goosebumbs, watching this!

"It’s easy, it’s saccharine, it’s simple to digest. Because you people can’t handle anything complicated. You people can’t stomach anything interesting." One of the best lines, ever!

I'll take Punk/Rock over Cena/Rock any day!

I guess I got a kick out of this feud. It felt like a real wrestling feud whereas Cena/Rock stunk of corporate manufacturing. Never gets enough love!

Punk/Rock was great because it was just those two doing what they did best. Cena/Rock tried to force itself to be memorable and tried really hard to be something beyond what it was, Punk/Rock just felt more...natural. Nothing about changing the history of the company or whatever. Just Rock being Rock and Punk being Punk, and it was great. We got some of the most Punkish lines out of it ("Your arms are too short to box with God!" reference) and some of the most Rockish lines too ("IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU MATTER!"). Man, looking back on it and ignoring "Who should have benefited" from the angle and whatnot...
It was just really damn fun to watch.

Loved it. I loved his revealing. It was like a super villain revealing his evil plan and why he does the evil things he does.

Always lose it when he says "Shawn Michaels can come out here and lose his smile"...Pro Wrestling truly courses through Punk's body

At least he got his wish for Tyson Kidd to move ahead of Little Jimmy on the card.

While I fully embraced his hilariously forced heeling it up at times, for any of the things I didn't like about the turn, I felt that this promo did as good a job at putting it into meaningful perspective as anything else could have. I thought it was one his better promos, and Paul hamming it up behind him was fantastic. It has some snarky barbs in it, but it had a lot more direction to it than just an appeal to people who eat up his promos--I thought it was very well-characterized.

Yeah I have to admit the Rock's comment on Punk looking like a crackhead were hilarious...Punk eye the crack head...

Still the best half hour of WWE TV, all year. Punk and Rock brought it to another level. I watch that shit and go "THIS is what wrestling is all about!"

One of *the* best hard sell money promos ever. Both guys were on their absolute A games. That one single segment lifted that feud beyond so many others, and made me positively giddy to see the Rumble. Watching it again just now gave me that same feeling it did then, the feeling that when pro wrestling is done right, not many things can rival it, at least in my eyes.
