Ginger Snaps Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I can't believe they actually gave him the title!!!
Downhome Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
tonyjaymzretro Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Punk wins! Punk Wins! if they keep the belt on him, Raw is on my tivo
ChrisMWaters Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 They actually did the SMART thing. It's gonna be weird to see Punk with the World title, but still...^____________________________________^
Vampiro69 Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
Anakin Flair Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I say he looses it at GAB. Too bad I can't get Smackdown. I'd love to watch this weeks show.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
Exslade ZX Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I still want a Punk appearance at the wedding.
cd213 Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Ironically Edge got what he deserved because he did the same thing to John Cena and the Undertaker.
foleyfanforever88 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Fucking awesome. I haven't marked that hard since Edge cashed in on Cena. The MITB concept is the best.
Ginger Snaps Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 How quick before he loses it? There's still an hour and a half left in the show.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 The pro wrestling board on gamefaqs just came. A lot.
bob_barron Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I say he looses [sic] it at GAB. Too bad I can't get Smackdown. I'd love to watch this weeks show. Loses has one 'o'. Looses is basically saying loose, but with an 's'. And holy shit holy shit holy shit
Exslade ZX Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I like them following up with the arm injury.
Thanks for the Fish Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
Trecko Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
Vampiro69 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 What is this continuity? I thought that was a forbidden word around the WWE.
garfieldsnose Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I would have liked to hear JR with that call instead of Cole. The only gripe I have about the moment.
ChrisMWaters Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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. No, not the only one. Interesting clash of styles in that one.
cheetoe Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 On a side note, I wonder what Jeff Hardy is thinking right about now...
JPopStarKami Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 They better not job it off him at the Bash, I have tickets to a RAW house show at the beginning of August and I wanna see him in person with that belt.
Warriorfan Posted July 1, 2008 Report 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.

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.
ChrisMWaters Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 No, Rey isn't "The Batman", but he has been The Flash before.
