Was he anything more than a transitional champ?

His whole run was just to keep that belt warm for Rock/Cena II. They had #NOPLANS for the entire 2012 year, figured lets keep this belt on Punk so Rocky's win feels extra big.

Punk was a champ? When? Last thing i remember Del Rio lost the title or it was stolen.. em same thing that happened in 2004 with WH title.
But FINALLY The Rock has found it.

it's true


SMH @ having the belt for 400+ days but still not legit enough to headline Mania

Also have to give credit to those who buried the belt while Punk was champ. Cena and Foley come to mind.

I will always believe that Punk was LEGIT quitting after his "Pipebomb" promo, Vince looked at the ratings and publicity it got, and as a stipulation of him not leaving and taking his heat with him Vince let him keep the belt for a year+.

This would also be the reason that Cena was ALWAYS booked like The Champ even though he never had the belt.... Vince was screwing Punk for bullying him out of the belt and contract by underbooking him but not burying him.

Making this the longest and most heatless title reign in history.

Punk is trash but in his defense, WWE made a legit heel out of him to be fed to Undertaker at Wrestlemania

Like i said. He didnt carry the belt.....the belt carried him.

It's sad but true.

When you look at his competition.

The Jericho feud was no credible threat.

The Bryan feud was no credible threat.

The Cena/Show feud was the begin of chicken shyt Punk.

The Ryback was the full blown chicken shyt Punk.

Then Rock took his title.

435 pointless days hahaha

And I actually like Punk, but damn.

We should get it right though...HE WAS entertaining. He wasnt a draw but he was an entertaining champ. Him and heyman are gold together and he was someone u really wanted to see get beat.


I just wish it wasnt the ghost of rocky miavia that beat him

I definitely think he had entertaining moments. It just felt like a pointless run when all was said and done, like he had the belt just to hold for Rock.
