Sadly, Punk will be the equal to Bret Hart; known as the greatest champion for his time, but stuck in a shitty era that is mostly held under vast amounts of negativity from the fans.Quote:

I like Punk, glad he's had a long reign, hope they don't strip it off him, isn't there a 30 day defence rule?
We both know damn well the 30 days aka the "Shawn michaels rule" will never ever ever be mentioned by anyone. They want to protect punk for the rock to get his shot at the title. Too bad a great champ is being fed to a Hollywood actor just so Dwayne gets more spotlight. Funny how people say hogan is the most selfish prick in wrestling when the rock goes unnoticed.Quote:

Where they go wrong is by constantly spouting "Beating Cena's title run-this" and "Cena-that" which sort of takes the focus off Punk and makes him share the forefront of peoples minds with Cena. Can we stop talking about beating Cena now please and move on to whoever is next?
Well, to me its honestly no big deal. Why? Well, most heels who were champions for a long time were strong heels who used cheap tricks sometimes, but mostly devastated their opponents (Yokozuna comes to mind, or Bob Backlund with the 'undefeatable' chicken wing crossface).
Now Punk on the other hand weaseled and cheated his way through the biggest part of his championship reign. I dont remember if he defeated anyone clean the last 5 to 6 months, he always had help or he cheated.
That makes him look weak. And that is how people will remember his title reign. The champ who survived day by day just with cheap tricks. And to me its not understandable. He is definitely a good wrestler (even tho also definitely not as good as all the Punk marks make him). He could produce heat without those things just with his promos.
As of now, he is just being build to finally be 'punished' for all his cheating, because thats wrestling business, the cheap guy always gets punished in the end.
He only cheated 2 times on PPV. The rest were clean.Quote:

His promos sucked big time, he couldnt talk for shit, and all he ever did was wooo wooo. And whenever Flair was a heel champion he was only champ to promote guys like Hogan or Warrior to take the title away from him.
Yes, i do remember Flair mainly as a coward, and the fact that he has so many titles is a sad joke, cause he simply wasnt that good.
Punks gimmick is 'the best in the world' and right now the only thing where he shows he is the best in the world in is running away and hiding behind others.
