CM Punks Shoot Promo

[CM Punk]

Yo!

Since this site wasn't available at the time of the actual promo, what was your first thoughts when you heard it? Also, when they announced he got suspended, what was your reaction on that?



My first reaction would probably have to be a bit of denial. I wasn't able to believe what he was saying. This is exactly what the IWC has been complaining about for months/years and we're hearing this issue on WWE television by a Superstar. Pretty much the vibe was really good, it got lot's of mainstream publicity and wrestling once again was the hottest things.

Pretty much my reaction was this:

I must say I marked out when I first heard it... I don't remember the exact reaction but it was similar to that Edge gif you posted. When they announced he was suspended I was a bit unsure about whether it was kayfabe or real, but leaning towards kayfabe iirc.

 

[CM Punk]

When he got suspended I kinda figured it was Kayfabe.
Although what he said came from his heart. :

 

[Leo C]

That's true. Whenever you're talking about something you genuinely believe in, it'll sound great.

It is probably what single handedly got me watching WWE again rather than just ROH. Thought it was probably one of the best shoots ever. I marked out obviously towards my fandom on CM Punk, but it was really good. I really got into the Punk vs WWE storyline, and thought they had endless ways to approach it, but they failed pretty bad on that.

This shoot promo was real as CM Punk has said he made up a fake promo and gave it to Vince to approve and CM Punk wrote the real promo and used that when Raw went live and when I watched that I was just like wow he actually said all that on a live show my god CM Punk is awesome

I wasn't watching wrestling when it happened ( i rage quit after christian lose the title to orton lol. i think it was pretty cool. he had nothing to lose by doing it and it definitely saved his wwe career

Watched it, reacted just how Simon did in that gif. I was in bed at the time and the first thing I did afterwards was go online and find out from other wrestling fans if it was a shoot or worked shoot or what, and no one knew. Everyone were saying different things. Then the next day or so it was announced he was suspended and I began moving towards worked shoot and started praising WWE a LOT. I knew they wouldn't suspend someone in the title hunt who has just made a promo that has blasted into mainstream media.

Then after I fully understand I turned into that Edge gif.

This 1 of the few raws i actually missed because I was on vacation at the time. :upset:
I had to watch it on youtube, so the effect wasn't as great. I was already a Punk fan before then, but the angle made it even better for me

When I saw that Stone Cold shirt I knew something was going to happen, and when he began to spoke it honestly amazed me and I wasn't part of the IWC so I didn't have anybody to discuss this about with. My parents were gone so I was watching this in the living room, and everything he said was everything I thought. He amazed me, so I became a bigger fan of him afterwards. I knew it was real when he mentioned Ring of Honor and Colt Cabana. When he talked about Heyman I knew it was true too, Heyman gave him the chance in the reformation of ECW in WWE. Even the interview with Colt Cabana saying it was open mic time, so I think that proves it.

 

[Matt]

What was he going to say about the bully campaign

 

[Leo C]

Maybe that Vince himself was bullied. He said he had a personal story about him.

 

[Rysenberg]

What was he going to say about the bully campaign

I imagine he was going to go on to say that it was ironic because Vince himself is one of the biggest bullies he knows. Something along those lines anyway.

 

[Matt]

Maybe that Vince himself was bullied. He said he had a personal story about him.

lolno. that would be showing sympathy for him he was probably going to unearth some horrible story about him doing something bad. maybe thats why they abruptly cut off the mic

 

[Leo C]

Yeah, that's probably it.
