Punk Shoots on Part Timers

[Dat Kid1]

when CM Punk draws PPV buys he can get the PPV star treatment. Until then he can keep crying while pretending he doesn't understand the business when he very clearly does.

He doesnt draw ppv buys? The top heel doesnt draw ppv buys? I fail to see where your going with this. Care to elaborate, im interested

The PPVs they were centering around Punk didn't draw. Summerslam during the "Summer of Punk" his big rematch w/ Cena was a box office flop @ Summerslam.

It was shown over and over again over his reign as champ that he isn't a guy bringing eyes onto the product. He doesn't get TV viewers and he isn't selling PPVs. It is probably why he wasn't getting top bill for most of his reign before they turned to the 'respect' angle.

The only time Punk kills PPV buys is if you give him The Rock to work with, as the Rumble did well as you would expect.

I guess saying he "isn't a draw" period is a bit harsh. He isn't a draw on the level of the guys he is bitching about, and he knows that as well as we all do. So my point was until he reaches that level, which he likely never will, he can stfu and stop pretending he doesn't understand why the superstars get superstar treatment.

Wonder if his opinion woukd change if he gets to the stage where he makes a few returns?

I blame that on bad booking. That match was thrown together rather quickly for no reason. Even Triple H being inserted as the ref in that match just seemed bleh.

I also would point out that Punk wasn't really getting good feuds during his reign, I mean c'mon, AJ love triangle, not exactly good fodder for the fans. I think what went wrong is that when Punk won the belt, the focus was still on Cena, but I do he doesn't draw as much as the others, or at least as he should be.

Blah, blah, blah.....

Those ''part timers'' were full timers at one point as well, Mr. Brooks.

When the dude retires, he'll sure come back to grab the spotlight from the future full timers.

Dude speaks his mind, but has to think about who he's talking to and remember that he'll be a part timer eventually, as well.

Not necessarily, the way Punk speaks it seems like when he retires, he'll retire. He may end up a part timer, yes, but that's not certain.

I honestly think that he stays up at night and listens to himself talk.

But really, I completely understand his point and he is kinda right about it. Still, we also need to understand the brass's point of view about this, part timers are a huge draw and as businessmen they will go for the thing that will bring them money, I doubt they will have a hard time sleeping because they feel it's not fair to give Punk the same amount of money as Rock, but this is the way things go in life. lol

Dont really think Punk will ever become a part timer.

He has said many times that he will finish wrestling in 2015,I think that's the last time we are gonna see him in a ring

Didn't you praise Ziggler for saying the exact same thing in the other thread?
