    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    In the end it does come down to creative doing their job, they could make it work if they really wanted but you never know. Normally they do produce better quality shows during the Road to WrestleMania so hopefully that trend continues this year.

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    WWE would need to advertise him and I am sure that if he wins the title they would tell the fans when he will be on the show. As I said before, The Rock winning would be a short term decision but could have long term impact if done right. If Rock wins more people will tune in, WWE should use...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    That is fair enough but I still think that the surprise factor of him winning will easily gain them more viewers. Everyone knows that Rock is only back for a couple of matches so practically everyone assumes that he will wrestle and lose because there is no way they would put the title on a...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    I wouldn't call Punk a ratings killer, the three hour format is killing it but Rock will be able to draw more viewers in. That also gives others a chance to shine as they will be exposed to more fans on a weekly basis. I just look at the other options and they are all a bit bland and boring...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    Because if Rock wins then more people will tune in to WWE programming over the next few weeks/months/however long he holds it for. Plus more people will pay to see who can take the title from him. Rock appearing at the Rumble is all about setting something up for WM, it is basically one big...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    What I can't figure out is who do people want Punk to drop the belt to other than Rock? This is a record breaking title reign, the longest of the modern era so surely you can't finish with a bog standard title change like Cena winning it or Daniel Bryan winning it. Surely it must need something...

    But at least that title reign was ended by one of the biggest names of all time rather than just some midcarder. Plus if Punk dropped it and then entered the Rumble himself and won the Rumble it will make him look even stronger. Normally I wouldn't agree to a part time champion but this is one...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    But this is a very rare opportunity for WWE and I can see them capitalising on it and in the process it will make Punk a bigger name. Punk going toe to toe with Rock throughout the feud will be a big deal for him, they just can't present him as inferior. The Rock is helping WWE out by actually...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    But this isn't just some random midcarder coming back, this is one of the biggest stars of all time, top three in WWE. There is no shame in Punk losing to The Rock even if The Rock is a part time wrestler these days and I don't think that it makes the rest of the roster look weak. Cena lost to...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    I think that the only person they would even attempt it with would be The Rock. Him winning the title would get WWE a ridiculous ammount of publicity and I don't think that WWE would be able to resist that. If he wins it at the Rumble there are 10 RAWs between then and WM, I think that they...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    I wouldn't mind seeing Sheamus take the title from him. After a good run with the World title, a WWE title win over Punk, especially one to end a title reign as big as this, would really cement Sheamus' place as one of the top guys in WWE. With Taker no-one seems to know if he will be healthy...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    I can see him dropping it to The Rock as well. WWE know that by doing that they will get a ton of publicity, almost more than they have ever gotten aside from wrestlers deaths. The Rock can win the title and walk into WM as champion. An interesting idea I read the other day was having Punk drop...

    CM Punk - 365 Days and Counting

    HQwqJcx0t0U Thought that this deserved it's own thread, on RAW last week CM Punk brought up the 365th day of his current WWE Championship title reign and Paul Heyman decided to throw a little celebration to commemorate the occasion. He managed to get to the one year mark after retaining the...
