CM Punk Telling It As It Is…With WWE Permission
Like many people I was a huge wrestling fan in the 80′s and 90′s but for the last 10 years ever since WCW was sold off my interest in wrestling has become less and less. I still read the wrestling observer to keep up on wrestling news but I can’t watch more than 10 minutes of Raw and Smackdown anymore without my intelligence being insulted.
For the first time in along time I’ve actually heard people talk about wrestling in the office today. What a picture perfect promo Punk gave last night. He said saying many things most people have been dying to hear about the flaws of WWE. Make no mistake about it for as edgy as it was WWE signed off on this. First off Punk didn’t mention going to TNA, he only mentioned going to New Japan or Ring of Honor. Second, nothing gets on airs without Vince McMahon giving the ok. CM Punk may believe everything he said last night but rest assured he went to Vince McMahon to get the ok before it went on air. He wouldn’t on gone 6 minutes if he was “going off script” if he did do such a thing he’d be fired and never mentioned on TV again. At best he’d be beaten in five minutes come the next PPV and given no offence.
I have no clue what CM Punk will do with his contract. My own opinion is he’ll re-sign take a couple of months off then come back but that is my guess. What am I sure of is this brilliant promo by Punk was given the ok beforehand to set up his match against John Cena. Like the way wrestling promos used to be about. Good on Punk for telling it as it is and breathing some life onto a stale company.
