Six years ago today, CM Punk defeated John Cena at MITB

GM Punk

He proved to them he could do everything Cena could do. He did the media appearances even if he didn't like them.

How was he not a big enough draw? Where's the evidence? He sold more than John Cena and this is in spite of the fact that Cena has more merch than anyone.

Merchandise is only one factor. Ratings and buyrates told another story.

 

[R=G]

A draw is a draw. Sasha Banks draws..her merchandise sells..her appearances sell out...she got good rated segments...shes in demand across the board...thats a star.

Punk didn't sell on ppv, had segments that were outdrawn by AJ Lee easily, and was put behind Johnny Ace vs Cena in his own hometown? Wtf

People think the chants meant he was something..no..thats not the way it works. They chanted for Hogan over Rock big time in Toronto...Hogan got the title the next month..they lost money on ppv/lower tv ratings as a result and had to go back to Rock before Summerslam.

How did CM Punk make them stars? Explain it to me. Teach me something for the first time since you been here.

I just did , without Punk's rise they would be jobbers if not stuck in NXT instead of being in the Shield and beat John Cena their debut

Lol. Nothing on earth can prove that

Man please, even though the WWE tried cutting the legs from under him on various occasions, if it weren't for CM Punk, the WWE would have never trusted future indie dudes enough to showcase them, Daniel Bryan being the biggest beneficiary (even though he got screwed here and there too)

Silliest shyt in the world..Bryan already cut an anti WWE promo in NXT against Miz and Cole. No one helped his position and he was too good..thats why fans cheered heel.Bryan over Punk at OVER THE LIMIT. He was the best and no one could touch him.

WWE didn't cut out shyt...Punk won a year of ppvs..talking crazy on the mic and had easy paydays. Bryan was working gauntlet matches against Shield and the Wyatts. Put on easy classics with Cesaro...carried Sheamus to thge best match of his career. Punk didn't gave a goddamn thing to do with him winning crowds over ala Eddie/Rocky/Mysterio style

No, THIS is the silliest shyt. The WWE had 5 years worth of CM Punk to work out the kinks before Bryan even got there. Are you really trying to tell people that Bryan going like 0-10 on NXT set the stage for anything?? LOL, if it wasn't for Punk, none of these other indie dudes, Bryan included would have ever gotten a fair shake at anything. Had Punk bombed, the WWE would still have guys like Heidenreich and Mason Ryan flooding PPVs. It's always been Bryan >>> Punk for me, but it's silly to think Bryan didn't benefit from Punk.

 

[R=G]

No they didn't. He won mitbs..had a undefeated streak and won the world title while being on Raw.

Punk set the stage for who though? Shield was a Roman Reigns project..Seth was taken care of as a NXT Champion. Lol.

I bolder that and I want you to post any proof of this foolishness
Matter of a fact I'm watching he match now and it's clearly back and forth
You must be deaf to cm punk chants and literally split five minutes in to it
Majority of the crowd is screaming cm punk and a good portion is saying Daniel Bryan
The match literally starts with a cm punk chant

Another dumb thing you said here...Bryan was working gauntlet matches against the two best heel stables in recent memory and holdi his own
Going over all of evolution on the biggest show of the year clean
Name one time cm punk got that level of a push over any real heels ever
Punk most dominate feud was with Jeff hardy...who was on crack

Facts don't matter to dude, he creates his own narrative and sticks to it.

It's like when he said every time the Rock put on that Struggleshooter the whole of the crowd jumped to their feet and started chanting "TAP TAP TAP"

 

[Slic Ric]

I've never seen such delusional hate, Punk must have not felt like signing an autograph that day

Bryan, and future indie dudes. And Seth is not only a former indie dude, but a HHH project.
