I read here that the reason Punk got depushed is cos Finlay doesnt think he is a big enough star. I was on wiki and it says Finlay was the one who trained him. Surely he would want one of his students to be huge?

To be honest we don't know the true story, but the most popular belief is that Arn Anderson said Punk wasn't a big enough star, and that Finlay's only role in the depush-that-isn't-really-a-depush was writing in the finish for Punk/Holly last week, which was after they're like "In the third, your ass goes down" "Punk loses to Holly clean"
Doubting the truth to that now though.

When did Finlay train Punk? Punk was trained by Ace Steel and co.

Kudos for the Marcellus Wallace quote. Hope Punk didn't feel pride F'in with him. That shit only hurts, it never helps.

I thought CM Punk was apart of John Cena's gang?

I'll tell you the one I don't get, and it really made me question PWI's logic today. Or one of them anyway.
Last night Punk had a good competitive match with Striker, and he got the win. He didn't job again, he rebounded from a loss and won with a good match.
So what does Dave Scherer, who reported all this bullcrap last week say about it? Not that Punk had a better week this week. No he says something along the lines of "they stuck Punk in there with a bad worker to show him that he really doesn't have good matches. It's obvious what they are doing"
Excuse me?

Wow, I thought journalistic code was to print a retraction when you f*** up, or at least admit you're wrong, but if you're a wrestling journalist I guess you just keep admitting you're right and logic be damned. ...wow

So...he doesn't apologize and actually INSULTS a worker who was good enough to get a job with the WWE. Pretty sad.

Striker a "bad worker"? I never thought of him like a Benoit or Angle, but he isn't bad. I thought the match was actually pretty good. It was given time, and they actually did some good wrestling. It was much better than a 3 minute "hit your trademark spots" match, which Punk had been given.
Either way, Punk won and if he was being punished/de-pushed, it's over. Cuz they wouldn't let a guy they are mad with go out and have a 10+ minute match and get the win, they would either keep him off tv or job him to someone else since Holly is hurt.

I have a feeling that the one week might have actually been punishment for Punk speaking up, and that was it. Sort of a "get it through your head you're the low man on the totem poll" type of deal.
Or they might have been using this week as "So you think you're so good at making decision with a match? WELL THEN GO WILD SONNY!"
Either way, I highly enjoyed the Striker/Punk match as it was an actual match with story and structure.

He's not that bad.

I guess the Striker hate is because, as Lance Storm pointed out, he ONLY has a job because of the publicity he got from being fired as a teacher. He's not horrible, but nothing special aside from his background.
