The main difference between this and the Cena promos is that Cena seemed like a huge fan. Had that "gosh this is so cool" look and presence about him, with Punk you can see the contempt he has for Rock, doubt it's real but he's doing a good job of making it seem it. that's old school and that's needed in wrestling today

:heh:

wait wait hol up

some of y'all really missed the point

Punk wasn't "shooting" to his benefit in his monologue before Rock came out ... he was illustrating how he does those things (like he did last year) to get fans to cheer him, and then he laughed and said he was playing them like a puppetmaster. It was heel tactic 101, using something they did as a face and citing it as an act to fool the masses. He wasn't doing that bit to get props or cheers, it was to try and cement his heel role in the feud once and for all.

Some of y'all man, smh. :skip:

The problem with Cm Punk is he's not over as a heel. He got ZERO reaction during his 10 minute promo and he was calling fans losers and trying his hardest to get them to boo him. Then The Rock comes out and get's a reaction. The Rock could say any "corny" saying and the fans will chant it. This is why The Rock is gonna turn heel at the Rumble and show guys like CM Punk how to be an effective heel

what made the line so effective too is that punk sticked to his guns
he said he was glad rock came back just so cm could kick his ass, for a year punk has said he was the best in the world and was the best champion and yeah it got tired since all he beat besides cena and jericho and dbry were meh competition when it came to taking the belt away from him. Rock is pretty much assumed to be the guy winning at the rumble and was assumed was just gonna go to the ring and kill punk but punk told the truth. Rock comes and goes as he pleases, bruno sammartino only defended his belt like once a month for years, cm punk [barring injuries] was in hell in a cell, elimination chambers, cages, tlc, etc. for a full calender year and faced big short tall etc. competition and had JUST beat ryback earlier. punk saying rock coming back just assuming he'd be champ was a mistake and that punk is basically better than austin, taker, mankind, hhh, etc. guys rock faced in his career

punk basically asked rock what's a people's champ to a god?

In a kayfabe sense.. that was a great fukkin point

I don't think we can actually say this.

Tampa audience looked dead the entire night, actually. They seemed to a pretty fukking stupid crowd if you ask me.

Cm punk reminded me of joker with his delivery especially in the beginning. Even though people say punk "lost" the war of words because he got no pop last night it's because punk stays going over nikkas heads. The average fan doesnt know that ether punk spewed. Too bad it's a work and they already rigged it but this woulda been a "good" fight even tho punk looks like an extra when in the ring with rock. Rock has to spit some real and stop using his catch phrases. That 20 days line was cool. But besides that "cookiepuss" :comeon: punk killed that nikka with the candy land line and "god" line.


:russ: rock did seem a Lil angry doing that rock bottom out of frustration. Punk was like :umad: and rock was like :ufdup:

I was hoping someone would get this. Easily the best element of his promo, especially when Rock came out and, essentially, did everything that CM Punk did to "puppeteer the crowd" in his own way.

I don't the 'Arms Too Short' line works with The Rock.

Not saying it's a not dope line for a promo, but The Rock is a legend whose legacy is cemented ten times over.

The 'Arms Too Short' line woulda worked better for someone yet to have a legacy, like Ziggler, Bryan, Ryback etc.

That line seems to be what people are giving Punk the win off of and I'm not buying that. Punk maybe would have won with a line about Rock being too hollywood, being old, a hasbeen etc, but Punk can't say The Rock's 'arms are too short' if he's a living legend when The Rock has done it all.

Ether is rooted in truth, and that line is just not the truth.

Isnt it more based on Punk's opinion that while the rock may have faced so called legends, in Punk's mind, that doesn't matter because he sees HIMSELF has a wrestling God and someone that the rock has never come across or can beat.

Reading through this whole thread and I'm feeling like :blessed:

"The pg era is holding Rock back" :to:

"He is lucky the Rock didn't have his sunglasses on" :to:

"I was on the freeway" :to:

"The crowd was dead all night" :to:
