Who are the homosexuals that are hating on Punk?
Seriously, dude is the best heel since Hollywood Rock. Who else was on this level? He's the total package, and in regards to the microphone he's in an elite all time class right now.
The reasons ratings are going up is because there are interesting things happening with new faces. Basically most of the stuff we've been asking for (aside from getting away from the PG crap) they've addressed and fixed, but haters just won't stop hating.
They basically have completely ditched the Smackdown and Raw brands and put them all together now. WHICH WE'VE ASKED FOR.
They have completely rebuilt the tag team division. I really want to see Primetime Players get a title run. I can see them getting over as faces at some point. I still think they should make some kind of homage to Kronik/Demolition/Powers of Pain/LOD team of two ass kicking heels, maybe with a manager. I suggested Skip Sheffield and Mason Ryan originally before Skip came back.
The divas division is slightly improving. Can't really say much about that. I think Eve is the best out of the bunch and she has the title, so can't complain.
I went off topic, but nobody should be able to say anything negatively about Punk at all. He's the best in the business and the best there's been in a long time. He might not be the next Rock or Stone Cold in terms of mainstream, but he should be a top 3 guy in the company for at least the next few years.
I think if Heyman turned on Punk (with Lesnar attacking Punk and Heyman siding with him) and they did a Punk v. Lesnar match with Punk playing babyface it could be a phenomenal match that would draw.
