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.


It had to be a worked shoot , they would of cut him off much sooner.

Vince has let people call his daughter a **** , beat him to a pulp , and even degraded women so I think he's willing to go to great lengths if he thinks it's a good idea.

While some people backstage knew it was coming, CM Punk's shoot promo on Monday Night Raw certainly had everyone buzzing. When Punk started talking about being "a Paul Heyman guy," and referenced controversial, past WWE names like Brock Lesnar, many wrestlers watching on the monitor were said to be "simply and solidly stunned" according to one WWE Superstar we spoke with, and several others were trying to find out Talent Exec John Laurinaitis' reaction as well.

While no one believes Punk went into business for himself, the majority of the Raw locker room was said to be "in shock" (according to one source in production) over how strong the shoot promo was, and the delivery.

We will have tons more on this breaking story as it continues to develop.
 
CM Punk!! :wow: :awesome: :applaud :bow:

Was that entire speech scripted and sanctioned??!!

regardless, it was brilliant. Punk said on national TV what we've all been feeling!!

And the brilliance of Punk's promos are that, even though he plays the bad guy, what he speaks is largely the truth. just like his feud with Jeff Hardy......
 
I'm really hoping it's HHH's influence backstage that is behind this.



I wouldn;t be surprised. Triple H liked to slip in some of these type of remarks. He never crossed the barrier like CM punk did though


Damn WWE ....just when I thought I was out .. you pull me back in.
 
Don't get me wrong. I think it was a worked shoot that Punk intentionally went off the script with. So I'm still hoping this was Vince's reaction after it:

Here are some tweets from talents regarding CM Punk's RAW promo, we are re-posting some that were posted earlier:

Steve Austin: @CMPunk just melted my 52 inch TV with a scorching hot promo...delivery, content, and attitude...one of the best promos I've ever seen.


Jim Ross: Amazing feedback on @cmpunk end of Raw comments. Too many overanalyzing it. Did you like it? If so, enjoy it. Was it compelling? Yes


Taz: Punk did a great job & I always liked him when we were in wwe together and his work! But I must say... There r many of us who were NEVER pushed to the level Punk was & were NEVER allowed to shoot like that, he's lucky he was allowed to do that. But it was very strong & real!! I liked a lot! Good stuff Punk!


Colt Cabana: Colt Cabana's Trending but @CMPunk should legit trend FOREVER. Coolest thing on wrestling since 1998. Can't believe theyre gonna let'm walk


Maryse: @CMPunk for President of the United-States....


Todd Grisham: Punk came unhinged tonight. Never seen anything like it in my 8 years @WWE


MVP: @CMPunk stayed at my house saturday night & we had a very in depth convo. I haven't seen the promo. But I'm sure my friend made me proud! ...
........
 
That was absolutely spectacular...just unbelievably good promo from Punk.

It was just magic. I REFUSE to believe that WWE approved all of that.

It was a work. They showed the Raw copyright logo during the Cena / Truth match. They knew how they were ending the show.
 
Sorry IF already talked about,But what IF this leads to officially a whole new era and Punk actually wins the title then gets a new design on it??

Because he really needs to see that promo....

:csad: Don't make me even get that as some kind of a possibility in my mind. WWE isn't going back. At least, not anytime soon.
 
They could. I mean I remember reading that Cena said that the Spinner Belt design was outdated and there has been a new belt ready to go for awhile now
 
THAT my friends was one the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Punk said on national TV what I've always wanted to say to Vince. Well, except the stuff about HHH, becaue I think he's going to help the company.

It's a shame they had to film next weeks Raw immediately because of July 4th. After Punk's blistering promo they could have used a weeks breather before coming out fresh, live next week.

As it stands those spoilers are uninspiring.

Could this lead to a banged up Cena taking a break, and a power trip Punk title run??? :awesome:

I feel the exact same way.
 
you know what was one of the best things about that promo? no annoying "what" chants :)
 
They could. I mean I remember reading that Cena said that the Spinner Belt design was outdated and there has been a new belt ready to go for awhile now
I was referring to the "new era" part. Changing the belt could happen. It probably isn't even that big of a deal to them.
 
People they had to tape Raw tonight for next week not because it's 4th of July but because they are doing a Austrilian tour.

What, so was next week's Raw taped tonight as well?

That proves even further that this is all just a work.

I don't think anyone doubts it was a work at the outset, the big question is did Punk cross the line with how far he went.

I was looking forward to next week big time but now...not so much. I was hoping for something a little more unpredictable. Instead its [BLACKOUT]Cena [/BLACKOUT]doing his same hero act and it seems like they wrapped up some things too quickly.

Ah well.

Surprised they are dropping [BLACKOUT]Hogans[/BLACKOUT] name so much even if its just to slam him.
 
It was a work. They showed the Raw copyright logo during the Cena / Truth match. They knew how they were ending the show.

Um...yeah...I know. That still doesnt mean that Punk went over every detail of the promo with them.
