Downhome 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 This was the best start to a RAW in a long, LONG time. From JR, to Edge heeling it up, to the Batista/Edge brawl, then of course to CM Punk winning the freaking World Title. Wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 I really thought Punk was going to blow it when the ref was dilly-dallying around w/ Lillian. I thought so too. The IWC would have crashed the internet if that happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Your champs on RAW are Ted DiBiase Jr./Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and C.M. Punk. Wow. Well, the way he was selling the belt, anyone think he might go heel and do the whole "I'm better than you" gimmick? They could just play the "Overcome with emotion" card, but he sold it like he won an Iron Man Elimination Chamber match. I do like the "WTF?" look on Batista's face when Punk's music hit.

cd213 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 As I've stated before, I'm not a fan of CM Punk, but good for WWE for at least trying something different and having a new face at the top of the "flagship" show. I can see Batista getting pissed about Punk "stealing" his title after all the work he did and that's where the turn comes from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Only way I see Punk holding the title for more than a month is if he becomes the leader of Dibiase and Rhodes. It doesn't have to be a second generation stable, and Punk was mentioned as a possibility of being part of it. Otherwise he's not going to be accepted in the league of Cena and Batista, or HBK, Jericho for that matter. JBL will probably be Punk's first challenger if they want to give him some run, if it's Cena or Batista he'll drop it quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trecko 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 So mad my other site is down durin all this powerful shit. But this is AMAZING. I just pray they don't do what they did with Jericho. Let this be the beginning of something new with RAW. Youth take over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 I kinda hope they let Punk hold the title long enough for a CM Punk/Rey Mysterio match for the title. But maybe that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warriorfan 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 I can't believe CM Punk is the World Heavyweight champion! I haven't been this genuinely excited about RAW in years. They should have Punk run with the belt at least until Survivor Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, but if he does get into the ring/actually defeats those names, he'll easily be accepted with the likes of them. When JBL first became JBL, nobody saw him as a main eventer. And even though, some still don't want to see him as such, he's still believably competed in the ring with Batista, Cena, Undertaker, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
