Billy Graham blasts CM Punk over promo

[GrammarNazi82]

WWE legend Billy Graham posted the following on his Facebook page regarding CM Punk's promo last night -- more specifically one sentence or portion of the promo:

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CM PUNK
I watch the last hour of WWE Raw last night. It was the worst excuse for a show I have ever seen! My agent Scott is tight with legendary World Champion Bruno Sammartino. Scott has told me that WWE has been calling Brunno regularly begging him to go into the Hall of Fame. Bruno has been polite but has always said no thank you.

Tonight on RAW for the last 45 minutes of the show all they did was have CM PUNK talk, talk and more talk! The killer line came when Vince had Punk putting over his 314 straight days as world champ and then said and I quote, " you had people like Burno Sammartino , only wrestled in Madison Square Garden only wrestled one a month.”

This was by far the biggest put down of Bruno ever. Why would WWE have Punk say that about someone they have been begging to go into the Hall of Fame for untold years? When that teenager looking CM Punk made that statement he was also talking about me, Ivan Kolloff , Stan Hanson etc. Find the re run and listen closely and answer me this my Facebook friends - How can they justify putting down a real icon like this, and not get called out on it?

Any news sites can quote me on my statement below:

CM Punk, I have lost all respect for you for nor saying no to the writers of the WWE for saying Bruno Sammartino only wrestled once a month in Madison Square Garden. You talk about one of the greatest icons ever in pro wrestling like he was a JOBBER??? You should be ashamed of yourself for not having the self-dignity to say NO to the writers on that line. That line you delivered indicates that I am a big loser like Bruno as well and insults me as I wrestled in the same era as Bruno. This only confirms more that I want my name out of the WWE Hall of Fame.

How many monthly sell outs have you yourself drawn at Madison Square Garden? Not a PPV or the Raw TV show. Quit talking trash about Bruno. It’s an insult to him and all the wrestlers of his era including myself!

There you go.

Punk needs some better material for his promo's.

What a crybaby. It was a heel promo for fuck's sake. Besides, some think that Punk name dropping Bruno might mean that in real life, Triple H has actually gotten Bruno to sign for his HOF induction...

 

[ThreeXBetterThanU]

Damn, a bit bitchy huh? Guess that goes to show you how awesome that promo was. When a heel can genuinely piss people off he's doing his job right. Get the stick out of your ass dude.

~Three Said That~

Honestly, I hadn't heard anything about Bruno and the HOF, so I can't speculate on whether this may mean he will be inducted or not. However, I did find it interesting and somewhat entertaining to read Graham's butthurt remarks. I also love that in the first two sentences he admits he only watched the last hour of the show (what it sounds like, anyway), yet goes on to say it was the worst excuse for a show he's seen.

Three -- I agree with you. Him being so pissed off about the comment just shows Punk's promo succeeded. Graham is apparently legit pissed about it, which is typically what you want.

Punk is a heel moron, have you heard of kayfabe? Another irrelevant guy trying to get attention. Go back to bed Billy.

I'm waiting for the headline to the effect of: "Overweight Floridians blast CM Punk for saying they don't need more ice cream bars."

 

[Stopspot]

Graham is looking for any reason to slander the WWE. Whatever it takes to get him out of the Hall of Fame.

It's like saying Edward Furlong is a white supremacist after watching American History X. It's freakin entertainment people. There has to be good guys and bad guys. If every show was the huggy time hour, it would get boring real fast.

 

[GrammarNazi82]

^ Now I wish there was a TV show called "Huggy Time Hour."

 

[Lockard 23]

I think it's mostly just an old guy looking for an excuse to hate a younger guy. This happens all the time, in real life... older generations hating the music of the newer generation, etc, etc.

 

[Senhor Perfect]

He also never said Sammartino sucked, all he said was it was less work being champion in his day. Absolutely true, IMO.

 

[Swift]

Silly Billy being silly.

 

[Danielson]

Looks like the promo was better than I thought. People are actually pissed

 

[Leo C]

Yeah, either Graham forgot about kayfabe or is finding reasons to talk crap about WWE.
