CM Punk is continuing to do an amazing job as a heel. His promo with Mic Foley was really great. I think he'll turn back to a face after Wrestlemania 29 but I really want him to stay as a heel for as long as he can because hes really delivering with these awesome heel promos.
CM Punk Vs Mick Foley was a dream match of mine, more so than stone cold vs Cm punk (my opinion) so when I saw CM Punk and Mick Foley in the ring I probably marked out more than anybody.Quote:

CM Punk vs Foley is a match I would like to see.
I don't like Punk a heel. But then I don't like Del Rio or Dolph either. I would like to see a match between Ryback and Punk just to take Punk down a bit. He has way too much ego.
I can understand why people don't really like Punk as a heel. At first, I didn't want him to turn heel because I thought his face run was great with him putting on fantastic matches with Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho. He even put on a great feud with Alberto Del Rio. His popularity as a top babyface was amazing and was something fresh that the WWE needed for a LONG time. I thought him turning heel would be a bad idea business wise since hes so damn popular.Quote:

Having seen Punk twice as a heel live - once at a House show at the Cow Palace in San Fran when he was doing the Straight Edge Society gimmick - and last night - I gotta say that Punk LOVES being a heel - it oozes off of him live. Last night the crowd really wanted to like him and he worked his ass off to turn that around - very effectively too.
I was amazed at the transformation by the end of the show when he went full-on cowardly heel and there was NOBODY in the arena that was clapping or cheering for him - wall-to-wall boos.
At that Cow Palace show, he got people so revved up, people were taking batteries out of their cameras to throw at the heel faction - Edge had to get people to chill out - the Cow Palace gets rowdy crowds, needless to say.
Thanks for making me aware that it was already out, can't say I paid too much attention to the release date.Quote:

If so it's straight on my Christmas list XD.
Back on topic, I would of personally preferred him to be portrayed as a less cowardly heel. He plays it very well considering how he's been instructed to act, but I can't remember too many completely credible heel WWE champions in recent times. Although if i'm wrong about that last point please do correct me :).
So all signs point to cm punk holding the wwe title for an entire year which I think is a huge feat considering how fickle the writers are to temperamental fans always wanting change. I like the punk character and I appreciate Phil brooks the man not with the same respect as a john cena but I still pull for the anti establishment guy. I'm a little worried if his character is reaching an plateau and the only criticism I have is he has devolved into the cowardly heel. That isn't punk. He's always been a strong personality and shouldn't be made to look so weak. The champion whether he's a face or heel should be dominant because the champion is supposed to be the best in the company not some clown that cheats to hold onto the title with rehashed Danny Davis routines. Punk needs to be himself, it's what made the fans get behind him in the first place. If he's a heel then be a cm punk heel not this mockery.
End rant
Please point out what makes him look weak. Most of the heels in the WWE current and past have cheated to hold onto the title. Heels cheat and faces don't (well most of the time) that's how it's always been. CM Punk is a heel CM Punk not a mockery.Quote:
