Punk in ECW

castagnoli

I just want to post a few random thoughts after Punk's successful debut last week. These are all real nit picky thoughts but I'm postin them anyway .

Firstly, he didnt do his usual X across the chest stance (in fact, he used a stance kinda like Joe's). I've a theory on this. On Raw recently, Triple H has been using this stance in the match graphics. This has to have something to do with Punk not being able to use it, we all know Trips has no time for Punk.

Secondly, his moveset. He ripped off KENTA's kick combo, as well as using alot of moves I'd associate with Joe.

Thirds, Orton's old music?! WTF! Gimme Misera Cantare!

Nit Picky as I said but I wanted to put them out there. (and I wanted a Punk thread to debut my new sig!)
It will be interesting to see how he does next week, if he gets the same kind of reception in a SmackDown arena. I bet he does!

I think Punk has been a breath of fresh air in ECW compared to Show,RVD,Sandman etc. In the way that he "craves" the competition rather than using the canes,chairs etc. More to come from the Punker hopefully

He ripped off Great Muta's pose as well. And I'm hoping some of his moves make it into ECW from his ROH moveset.

I'd love to see the plunge, but I can't see him being allowed to use it somehow, wonder why...

Brow

I know what you mean. But WTCMF and Pepsi Twist would be nice to see. I cant see why he shouldnt be allowed use them.

He's done really well so far. Theres a freshness about his character and not the same old same old you see on tv every week.

He won't get the same response as his debut. You can't duplicate the Hamerstein Ballroom atmosphere in a Washington arena being taped with Smackdown.

Well for those of you who want to know...

Punk did not compete this week on ECW. He only had a short backstage segment where he spoke about how he was welcomed into the ECW family and that he will be in the ring next week.

I loved the line about the ECW family embracing him more than his own family did.
Good old Punker!

The man is hilarious on the mic. I have a best of Punker dvd and he does an amazing promo with Corino where when the fans chant for them to shut up they sit down in the ring til they shut up. Meanwhilst Corino takes out a hip flask and Punk plays it up giving a shocked reaction. Classic stuff.

He's had the best introduction and debut of anyone I can remember in WWE. Apparently Heyman has been given control over ECW again, starting with last week, so it's only good news for Punk

I'm sure he's won over a lot of new fans too. I suppose we'll find out next week. The only way we'll ever see the Plunge is if he gets into some sort of storyline with Triple H..which would be very interesting

What I'm waiting for is the heel turn! Hope it's not for a good while though
