Yeah, the problem with Punk (and really, 99.9% of the wrestlers throughout history) is that even if he is very good in the ring and very charismatic on the mic, he has a ceiling. He will never transcend the wrestling industry. It's not a knock on him; I happen to enjoy his segments. It's just an unavoidable fact. He's great within the business, but there's not a lot of crossover appeal and non-fans aren't drawn to wrestling by his performances.

So the business can roll along with okay ratings with people like Punk and Cena at the top, but it won't truly explode until they find the next true crossover superstar. The problem is that most people with that kind of charisma end up in other fields of the entertainment industry.

To those that say DVR invalidates the ratings.... maybe if you're comparing them to 1998 pre-DVR ratings.

But regardless of the number, you can still see a trend. If it's going down, that's bad. They've had a record breaking low recently, and a few others that were close to it.

I flip flop on Punk a lot. He's good, has some charisma. Just seems to think he's bigger than he is. AT best, he's an HBK/Bret Hart in history, yet he thinks he's a closet Rock/Austin/Hogan if the 'E would just promote him.

"blah blah pipebomb, change, things will be different"

A year plus later and where are we?

to be fair, i've seen @The Great One bring up Punk's ECW ratings before. Dude been consistent :laugh:

No one talks about when Punk gets good ratings tho. :leon:

Certain posters dismissing Cena's drawing ability suddenly wanna prop him up when it fits their agenda :leon:

Miz gets an rating increase and it is suddenly big news to some but when dude was getting nothing? :heh:

:mjpls:

lol. From my experience of going to the shows, these things have the same thing on both sides, but who knows, it could. I didn't take the photo, I got it here:
Rajah.com - WWE News, Rumors, Results & Information CM Punk Absent From WM29 Tour Bus (Pic), WWE Going Overseas For The Troops

:danielsfu: that's for the both of you.
