It's insane when you rewatch cm punks title run how bad announcers sandbagged him

Punk vs Daniel Bryan, Over the limit 2012

Not a single fukking word spoken during Daniel Bryan's entire entrance. He got a good response nothing amazing. They were doing nothing at all to sell this guy at all.

Punk as champion for 6 months,

Cole - "...Yup it's clobbering time...His war call is from a comic book character "

King - what's wrong with quoting the thing

3rd from the top of the card...What was above them?


Ryback vs camacho
Johnny ace vs Cena



2012 raw sucked ASS

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

This match is pretty average for these two, I'll say that.

Punk used to gripe a lot but they was deff fukkin with him letting John Laurinaitis main event over him as champion

what's the backstory on the pipe bomb? cause they act like they were salty backstage about it for his whole reign

[YvrzTrvly]

Johnny ace v cena huh

Glad i wasnt watching at that point in my life

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Blatant sabotage by them. Nothing more. Just awful.

 

[Golayitdown]

They gave literally zero fukks about Punk. For him to be champ for so long he's definitely the least important feeling champ they've had in recent memory.

Dude was curtain jerking to damn near anything Cena was doing

I've always held the theory that Punk really did leverage his post-"pipebomb" popularity into a bunch of stipends and bonuses in his contract renewal, chiefly among them was he would get to hold the title for XXX number of days.

Vince wasn't happy about giving it to him, but he did. It didn't help that Punk was pulling a 50 Cent, insinuating that he ran Interscope afterwards (I Run New York reference).

As get back, Vince gave Punk his "historicaL" title run..... but still booked Cena as champ over Punk.

But that's just my theory.

i wouldn't be surprised at all if this or something very similar was the case

i also think they greenlit the pipe bomb but didn't think he would go so far with it, the McMahons have huge egos so I'm sure they had a problem with getting called boneheads and doofuses on what was perceived as some non kayfabe shyt

 

[cartierhoe]

Only time guy was main-eventing was against Cena smh did my guy dirty

Vince was a Punk fan. In fact, he was the one begging for Punk to stay when he wanted to quit. [This is all in Punk's words I should add].

Why they pushed Punk down the card while he was the World Champion still doesn't make sense.

Dude didn't main event Raws a lot of the time. Unless he was fighting Cena or Rocky, his stuff was stuck in the middle of the show.
