Stopspot said:Taker a heel for costing Punk? lolno.
Punk's heel run has been about his ego, his apparent lack of respect. Taker is a legend in the business, both in and out of kayfabe. Taker can cost Punk the match because he feels that he can shut the "brat" up. What better way to shut someone who's been portraying the egotistical traits Punk has than offering them a shot at what may be the biggest thing in wrestling? It's something that he knows that Punk cannot say no to without admitting that he is not as good as he claims.
I see. You explained it better
I guess that makes sense then.
