Don't know if they should go that far because now I want to see the Punk vs Cena match more than ever and want to see him there building it up but they definitely need to do something tomorrow. Even if they "suspend" him next week. Maybe ban any mention of what happened next week. That'll make it look like tonight wasn't part of any plan.

Something needs to be done because right now the iron is red hot. People are going to be talkign about this for a while.

Judging by what's on WWE.com and the Raw taping spoilers it looks like they are going to make a bigger angle out of this, Summerslam's main event possibly.

For those who want to see it again.

Promo of the year is over.

Probably gonna catch flack for it but that was Punks "austin 3:16" moment.

No because you are spot on, a defining moment for a guy who is leaving.

There are promos that stick out and transcend time.

Austin 3:16.

Cane Dewey.

Armbar.

Joey Styles' shoot.

And CM Punk's big **** YOU to the 'E.

I'd add the May 19th and Cornette shoot to that. What is the armbar promo?

 

[Team Andino]

I'm still in shock at that promo, as I was watching it live at my friends house I fell to my knees in shock and pleasure. Don't care that it was a worked shoot, that scratched me where I've itched for so long.

 

[Gotham Knight]

Can someone make me a CM Punk icon? I feel like I need to honor him for that promo.

Raw’s abrupt conclusion Monday night was not due to technical difficulties. The decision to suddenly end the broadcast in that manner was made by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who gave this quote to WWE.com:

“CM Punk was suspended indefinitely for his unprofessional conduct as soon as Raw went off the air.”

With his WWE contract expiring on July 17, one can only assume that this suspension effectively terminates CM Punk’s tenure with WWE.

Hmm interesting. [BLACKOUT]They could really be trying to play up the ''shoot'' promo or they're just sticking it to Punk.[/BLACKOUT]

I'd add the May 19th and Cornette shoot to that. What is the armbar promo?

Jericho listing his 1004 moves he was a master of.

Just thought I'd post that Punk posted this on his Twitter 5 hours ago:

I'm in full, "what are they going to do, fire me?" mode.

 

[Kaleb]

And to think Blacklantern missed all this,lol

 

[Kane52630]

You have done good CM Punk and that poster in the back still stands.

That confirms a worked shoot, which I originally thought it was anyway. Luckily it doesn't make much of a difference as he went off the script.

 

[Gotham Knight]

Double post.

 

[NDX]

See, now I'm all kinds of interested in where this goes.

 

[Darkness Falls]

glad i didn't buy tickets to the australian tour now, i was going to but didn't
i'd probably pissed off right now cause i doubt punk will be going

My Raw thoughts:

-Great to see Shawn back. Punk's promo was pretty good. Unfortunately the match he got put in, and the whole "Raw Roulette" thing is so utterly predictable and obviously scripted. I mean, at one point, I literally saw Eve slowing down the wheel.

-The show got pretty boring from here. Evan Bourne v. Sin Cara was a good match. Ziggler v. Kofi wasn't all that great. But I think I am just so over Kofi at this point. Everyone will be happy to know that Dolph is growing on me.

-The Del Rio v. Big Show cage match was boring. But Mark Henry getting involved was good. They are really pushing him. He's doing good with it.

-Miz & Swagger v. Mysterio & Riley actually turned into a solid match. Real torn on seeing my current favorite team up with quite possibly my current most hated. But I am loving Riley. He's not flawless in the ring, but I see a lot of potential with him. I think he's gonna be good.

-Booker T was an idiot all night. He had me rolling. Seeing DDP was nice. HBK straight burying McIntyre with a beautiful Sweet Chin Music from off camera was welcome.

-John Cena v. R-Truth was of course utterly predictable. Until CM Punk came out and cost Cena the match. Which I guess is predictable, but it was good to see Cena lose.

I was wondering why they were showing the WWE closing credits logo during the match tho. And then, I realized why.

My feelings towards CM Punk have not been a secret on this forum. I thought CM Punk was over rated around here on the microphone. I guess I was wrong.

That promo that Punk cut... that is by far going down as one of the most memorable promos I have ever seen. That promo was absolutely classic. Yes. Better than anything Miz has ever cut. Them cutting off the microphone, and then cutting to dark is obviously part of the storyline. And I think this storyline is incredible.

The best thing WWE could ever do is let CM Punk win the title at the PPV and then let him "walk". He will get so much heat. CM Punk will be absolutely rocket launched into perma main event status, and the heat he gets will be catastrophic. The way he went off on even the people who are CHEERING him makes him even that much better. It's not often, especially anymore, when I turn off a Raw in absolute awe of what I just saw. If CM Punk does *not* win the title, this will be the absolute biggest missed opportunity I have ever seen in WWE. And the sad part is, I'm not putting it passed them to miss it. In fact, I'm still not betting against Cena. In fact, watching this promo, the first thing I thought of was the Batista "kissing babies" promo as he was on his way out.

CM Punk just won me over with that promo the way Miz won me over with his promo work leading up to Wrestlemania. CM Punk just entered "He's the reason I'm buying the PPV" status. Kudos to you, Punk. Absolute kudos.

I'm not aware of this. Video?

 

[Team Andino]

Before tonight CM Punk had done something that hasn't been done in a long time and that's get me interested in a WWE PPV that isn't Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania, but now I'm hanging on his every word and want to watch Punk where ever he goes. That man has reignited my passion for wrestling and I'll be watching ROH as much as I can. I'm still reeling from what I just saw, holy ****!!

At this point, they would have to be insane to not have Punk resigned. There was more fire in that promo than anything that's been on WWE TV for a long time; they've got absolute gold in their hands right now. They need to use it.

Man, didn't I say he should be suspended! I like where this is going. More excited for the next few weeks than I have been in months.

Haha, much appreciated. "ARMBAR!"

For those who want to see it again.

This was brilliant and it's what I miss about promos. I'm hoping this might be the start of a new direction.

I'm really hoping it's HHH's influence backstage that is behind this.
