CM Punk Thread

This afternoon, with yours truly present, CM Punk crashed the the joint Mattel/WWE panel – WWE: Past, Present and Future – at San Diego Comic-Con, featuring WWE superstars Triple H, Rey Mysterio and the legendary Bret Hart.

Punk announced himself via bullhorn and then, with WWE Title in hand, took to the designated question-asking mic and began to awesomely speechify! Punk took exception to the fact that they were trying to crown a new champ on RAW and then challenged Rey, or anyone else who wanted to be champ, to head out to Chicago to take him on.

Punk then also asked Triple H and RAW writer Brain Gewirtz why Zack Ryder wasn't on TV. Triple H, in what seemed to be a part of a storyline, told Punk that things had changed on RAW and that there was a new regime. He told Punk to give him a call. Punk responded by telling Hunter that he was sure Stephanie had his number

More on the story, plus video from the event as it develops…

It keeps going!

LOL at him saying Steph has his number, I doubt too many at Comic Con would get this,he should of waited until the Summer Slam media work. We may get Triple H vs Punk soon enough.

Anyone at the panel would be fans and media who wanted to be there, it's one of those separate audience things. They only pair up the panels because Mattel is their to promote majority WWE figurines and merch. Think theres a Q+A as well. Tbh I think it was a perfect time to do it, AND theres another two signings for him to crash.

if you find a video of it, please post

I don't think that panel is recorded, I wouldn't be suprised if they were relying on fans to upload loads of different videos themselves.

Will update if I find one.

God I love CM Punk. Hopefully one of those hundreds of cell phones has the entire thing. Couldn't make out punk in that vid but sounds like it was a lot of fun. Wrestling is such a strange mistress

Better Q vid. whoever shot it was following Punk in

starviewadams

Pretty cool,knew something along the lines of this would happen when Punk said on Twitter he was in San Diego.

Lord TSC

AWESOME. Haha, Punk is brilliant. This whole angle is brilliant.

Punk couldent know his audience any better, he got a bigger pop in that video than most modern wrestlers get at any point of their careers then add in the Steph dig and the Ryder comment and it was truely job done. Not only that but he exited then leaving the crowd wanting more. It's especially great to see because its so obvious how much fun Punk is having while creating the best angle PW has seen for so so long.

Pentecost

This is likely going to pop up on TV soon, the higher quality footage no doubt that just happens to be available. Looking forward to how this develops over the weeks, "Corporate HHH" pushing things on no doubt.

ciano316

It's one of the best angle's in a long time. Been a while since WWE had the fans guessing. CM Punk is quality, nice to see him pushing for Zack Ryder as well.

johnnycnandy

This thing just gets better and better. Punk is a god!

DrumSteve

I must say Punk has singlehandedly reignited my interest in PW.

Anyone else think that ryders name being used is just away of further getting over with the fans that were there?

I don’t really think so, they were both on colt cabanas podcast this week, well cm punk made a brief cameo on it, but I got the impression from it that he genuinely wants Ryder to do well and that he deserves to be on telly.

Lord TSC

I'd say its a mix of that and the fact Punk's gimmick is basically turning into "I'm the guy who knows what the fans want", and Ryder is obviously one of those things. It makes sense for his character to call HHH out over Ryder getting on TV (and in fact, it would make sense if on Raw this week, HHH gives Ryder a chance to show how HHH differs from Vince).

Awesome

sliotor is on the ball.

Punk likes people who are in wrestling for the right reasons and love it for the game so to speak.

Ryder's da chasing Luke Gallows around with pots and pans. :pac:

I don't think CM Punk needs to name drop Ryder to get a bunch of nerdy types to cheer for him tbh.

I think a few of them pissed themselves when he walked in.

He is being sarcastic, sarcasm does not translate well into written form though.

Either of you for real?

Next time Ill reference something less obscure than the Simpsons.

Yes I think it was a Comic Book Guy/Comic Con joke. Edit: posted that before I saw the explanation!

tbh i knew what you were referencing but assumed it was sarcasm aswell like I said sarcasm doesent translate itself well in written form. Considering it's one of the best angles in years i dont think its that much of a leap for me to believe that your CBG reference was also tongue in cheek.

anywhoo... Punks great

Eire-Dearg

Awesome. Love how WWE are using the internet, social media and word of mouth basically in getting to the next line of the story.

"Punk has seemingly made his first non-WWE appearance in wrestling since he took the WWE Championship with him on his way out of the WWE. According to Jimmy Jacobs and the photo that accompanies this post, CM Punk cut a promo in-front of the AAW fans tonight. I’ll update this post as more news comes in, but for right now… It’s cool to see/hear.

Where will Punk show up next?"

A replica of the Attitude era

or

Punks RAW promo being a start of a new timeline in WWE that will be given a title.

Nope. Here's hoping it brings in a fresher era which dwarfs the attitude era in comparison of awesomeness.

Lord TSC

What you didn’t hear was Triple H replying to CM Punk’s comment, “I’m sure Stephanie has my number. Just have her call me.” Triple H replied, “I’ll just call Beth (Phoenix) and get it from her.” WWE has officially gone viral.

From Creative Recall.

Hehe, I know there was plenty of rumours (enough that they had to be taken seriously) about Punk and Beth, but I guess that confirms it.

rovert

For pure awkwardness I want Punk to show up in Shimmer and have a SES reunion with Serena.

Yeah I don't think it was any great secret. She was mentioned as being in his apartment when he did that GQ interview, some of his mates tagged both of them in a tweet when they were all out etc

backrow67n8

Ya know I decided just after Dwaynemania that I was done with WWE and started watching some stuff from around the globe instead but seeing this C.M. Punk stuff in the last while has reignited my love for Global Entertainment or whatever they call it. Its been epic.

Favourite moment so far is a toss up between "yeah thats right I'm a Paul Heyman guy" and "Hi Colt Cabana"

Why would that be awkward Serena is about the only Diva he hasn't had, or has he?

Wouldnt you be embarrassed about bumping into Punk if you were Serena? Punk is the fella who went to bat for her to bring her up from developmental only for you to fall down the stairs in a club after getting sloppy drunk a few too many times? Pure scarlet for the young one.

HD Version of the video is up for those who dont know Jeremy Irons is a wrestler with cerebal palsy with limited use of one of his arms.

I see AAW bought their ring mat on e bay from ROH.

I know we have seen the first 2 minutes but its got a very interesting retort by HHH and a possibility of what he could say tonight, if there are any punk chants.

This is what I hope! Get rid of PG & that ridiculous WWE Championship belt.

Jimmy Kimmel is crap most of the time anyway,apparently wwe were trying to get Punk on a few tv talk shows when he "left" wwe. Mustn't of gotten too far with it if thats the best they could do.

Propane Nightmare

American talk shows in general are crap and all the same, apart from Jay Leno IMO...

Surprised he wasn't on Jay Leno considering Leno's connection to wrestling.

jaykhunter

Hmmm, surprised Hogan hasn't hit him up for something at Bound For Glory actually.
