Awesome fan made CM Punk vs. SCSA promo.

[masakaritko]

I found this randomly scouring through youtube videos and figured I'd share it. It's pretty well done.

Yo... that is pretty damn good.

I wouldn't mind seeing this play out. Even as unlikely as it may be. Two well-received anti-establishment wrestlers facing off on the grandest stage of them all...

SCSA may have aged but I think he could still go in the ring. Even if the ring performance isn't five-star caliber, I bet the story and promo work (if done right) would be out of this world. Possible storyline: after losing the WWE title, Punk goes back to his old ways: rabble-rousing, trouble-making, instigating his own brand of chaos across the WWE landscape (heel turn?) maybe even settling unfinished business with some old enemies (like Otunga - former ally in Nexus who later hassled him while serving Johnny Ace) and putting down other competitors while going on a tear. This would also help to build his threat level going into the feud. The brass would see CM Punk as a danger to the WWE's reputation and well-being: a loose cannon firing pipe bombs at anyone and everyone in his way, saying all the wrong things and stepping on the wrong toes while demolishing both established, high level talent and up-and-coming blue chippers to prove he's the Best Wrestler in The World. Eventually, Vince decides that the only way to fight this out-of-control menace is to throw another menace at it... and somehow ropes SCSA back into action. Austin is received with skepticism across the locker room - so he proves himself by wrecking whoever crosses him. Even Rocky gets a can of whoop ass (at a PPV perhaps?) It doesn't take long before the two antiheroes meet again... CM Punk comes out on the platform that he is an agent of change, and while the Attitude Era was great and important, it is also history. Punk is the new face of anti-establishment, the enemy of complacency, The Best in The World... and while he admired SCSA for what he did, he hates what he has become: a glorified fossil of an era, brought back as a bastardized corporate pawn to silence the voice of tomorrow. Austin's stance is that without the Attitude Era, there would be no future for the WWE. He was the original hellraiser - and was kicking corporate ass long before Punk came to the big time. The more things change, the more they stay the same: there will always be some bigmouth running around promising change, be it in politics, the media or the ring, but will lead their followers astray and come up short... that is what Punk is doing to the WWE faithful. A false messiah - just as he was with the SES and New Nexus, a zebra never changes its stripes. That is the kind of man SCSA was born to beat. The two campaign back and forth, building to an epic confrontation at Wrestlemania. Let some cracks show on both sides: Austin battles the demon of time passing him by, while Punk seems to be regressing to his evil heel side and seems to be misleading the fans. It could be great.

... sorry for all the rambling. Just my opinion.

no need to be sorry, that would definitely be the most interesting way for things to pan out.

some more bits that could be added into the storyline, like SCSA taking responsibility for CM Punk's epic shoot and rise to the top. look at the dates consecutively.
6 /13/11

notice when Punk says, "You just set in motion something that is going to change the landscape of the WWE forever"


the following week 6/20/11

the week after that 6/27/11

So in a sense, proof right there that SCSA set in motion the series of events leading to CM Punks epic shoot and of course his rise to the top ranks of WWE, walking out with the WWE title, and coming back as the hottest commodity in the WWE for that period of time.

Would love to see this

Whoever did that video did a damn nice job

[PSOjedi]

Nothing really interesting in this video....:eek:

[tigermask]

Haters gonna Hate,

I liked the video, and I do think the match will happen one day.
Whoever made that video did a nice job, it actually matches the style of how WWE promote their matches in my opinion.
finally I think this match could happen without CM Punk reverting to a heel. And I always like it when two over superstars are in a match together, the crowd splits, every punch gets a cheer, its a real emotive feel which I enjoy in a match.

That is actually brillaint!

[Pumpkinhead]

Good video but I wouldn't call Punk a legend yet

[Kenny Kaos]

I want it to happen, but don't think it will, sadly

[T-Hughes35]

Definatly one of the best fan promos ever done
