I mean outside the iwc do you think anyone would take him seriously as champ. I mean he does come close to looking like cusierweight to me. Ppl did get mad when Rey won title could same be said for punk.

I would imagine that given the right tools (piece of paper and sharpened colored pencils), he could probably draw a remarkable still life.
The real answer is no. It's not a CM Punk thing either. It's my generic answer to the various "What's wrong with WWE" threads that come in various incarnations:
The formula being concocted by the WWE at this time is stale. Until the WWE can figure out a unifying concept to their shows the way the Rock N Wrestling and the Attitude Era had, this is what we will get. It's just random wrestlers working to spite their given GM.

If the WWE pushes him to the top, he will. The marks will buy into anyone who the WWE decides to push if they have any skill.

Considering he's THE reason a lot of people tune in, absolutely.
But that would mean the focus would be off Lashley and that can't happen. You will cheer for him! Cheer damn you!

Ppl did get mad when Rey won title could same be said for punk. I think a big reason why people didnt like Rey winning the title is because of the whole Eddie thing. Odds are he would have never had a chance at winning it if it werent for what happened to Eddie. Admittedly I would have hated it either way because i've never been a Rey fan. But i do like what i've seen from Punk so far. Given that hes easily the 2nd most over face on ECW and got a bigger pop than DX at survivor series, I think it would work out just fine. |

Can I ask that aside from the IWC, who were the people angry that Rey won the title? I don't want to be a revisionist, but I thought that around a year ago at this time, Rey's segment was the highest rated Smackdown segment. Am I wrong? |

His Smackdown segments were getting the highest bump in the ratings when he was out there. And Smackdown PPVs headlined by him were getting more buys than one headlined by John Cena and DX. His reign just flopped because of the booking, but luckily outside of the internet there was never any real backlash. As for Punk, I don't think he'd draw now, he'd need to be built up more. But if given the correct backing and push, he could draw. Anyone can if pushed and packaged properly I believe. |

If the audience and the paying customers are given a reason to care about Wrestler A, they can make money.

I bet he'd be a bigger draw as a heel/tweener Precisely. If the WWE ever gets it that Lashley isn't currently cutting it as champ (it's a pretty bad sign when you have to protect your babyface champ from getting outpopped by his opponents), then maybe the solution will be to turn Punk heel (this is where the TV title would have been really good, because he could have had such a successful run as TV champ that confidence turns to arrogance) and have him win the title. Imagine a title run with him feuding with RVD, Sabu, and Sandman over their recreational activities, amongst others. It's too bad that it is so obvious that Lashley at some point was on the juice, because if he hadn't been then Punk could suggest that he was on it and that made him unworthy of the title. |

Anyone who thinks Punk couldn't draw is clueless. Just because YOU don't like a guy doesn't mean he can't draw. I'm not a big fan of Hulk Hogan, DX, or John Cena, but they can all certainly draw. I don't even like the E's version of Punk, but it can certainly draw huge.

I think the new generation of WWE (2002-2007) is fading incredibly fast, and growing stale. Time to usher in something fresh and different. |

Of course Punk can draw! Just last week he was playing Pictionary and....
Nevermind, several people already beat me to the drawing joke.
