You need to get a life

Why? Because I watch wrestling? What do you watch genius?

[Jayesh87]

What an ending to Raw last night. Just...wow. I can't believe they let Punk loose like that...incredible stuff.

what was with that ending?

[elrichio86]

Here's a transcript of Punks promo:

John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this. Because, before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest.

I don't hate you, John. I don't even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate this idea that you're the best. Because you're not. I'm the best. I'm the best in the world.

There's one thing you're better at than I am and that's kissing Vince McMahon's ass. You're as good at kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don't know if you're as good as Dwayne though, he's a pretty good ass kisser. Always was and still is.

Oops, I'm breaking the fourth wall. *waves at camera*

I am the best wrestler in the world. I've been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company and I've been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar. And he split just like I'm splitting. But the biggest difference between me and Brock is I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship.

I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that they're just that. They're completely imaginary. The only thing that's real is me. And the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I have proven to everybody in the world that I am the best; on this microphone, in that ring, even at commentary, nobody can touch me.

And yet, no matter how many times I prove it, I'm not on your lovely little collector cups, I'm not on the cover of the programme, I'm barely promoted, I don't get to be in movies, I'm certainly not on any crappy show on the USA network, I'm not on the poster of Wrestlemania, I'm not on the signiture that's produced at the start of the show. I'm not on Conan O'Brien, I'm not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be.

And trust me, this isn't sour grapes. But the fact that Dwayne is in the main event of Wrestlemania next year and I'm not makes me sick.

Oh and hey, let me get something straight; those of you who are cheering me right now? You are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else. Because you're the ones that are sipping out of those collector cups right now, you're the ones that buy those programmes that my face isn't on the cover of, and then at five in the morning at the airport you try to shove it in my face so you can get an autograph and try to sell it on ebay because you're too lazy to go get a real job.

I'm leaving with the WWE Championship on July 17th and who knows? Maybe I'll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe I'll go back to Ring Of Honor.

*waves at camera* Hey Colt Cabana, how ya doing?

The reason I'm leaving is you people; because after I'm gone you're still gonna pour money into this company. I'm just a spoke on the wheel. The wheel's gonna keep turning and I understand that. But Vince McMahon's gonna make money despite himself. He's a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he's not a billionaire? It's cause he surrounds himself with glad-handing, nonsensical, douchebag yes men like John Laurinaitis who're gonna tell him everything that he wants to hear.

And I'd like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon's dead, but the fact is that it's gonna get taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family. Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon, all right. Here we do this whole bully campaign--- *mic gets cut off*

*Punk (inaudible) screams at the camera for a few moments*

*Raw goes off the air*

Hilarious Randy Orton interview - rare side of the boring fella

[MrShawnMichaels]

Orton got in trouble for this interview. He implied Kelly Kelly slept with 10 men.

[Leyton388]

Looks like that Punk stunt wasn't planned as he has been suspended by WWE. Got to say if it was a real rant i can't say i blame him as WWE is ****e and hasn't been good since the days of mick Foley. John Cena is just ****e and the fact he is the number 1 in WWE says alot for the state of the business.

Punk's promo was scripted, brilliantly! Here is next week Raw's results, so the match vs Cena is still on. (from tapings). [SPOILER]

Here's a theory. Punk turns face on Raw next week when he confronts Vince. Punk wins the title in home town. Vince orders MITB winner to cash it in and they win the title. Either Punk goes out that way, or Punk stays, having lost the title, and unites with Cena as faces to take on Vince and his empire.

A twist on Montreal.

I think Punk will be staying. I like the fact that no-one really knows whats what with him at the mo. Cena could turn heel off this if they book it right. Chances are they'll botch it! Punk is the greatest thing in the game right now apart from Kelly Kelly in not very much clothing

Cena won't turn heel any time soon I think. If he was to turn heel, it'll be briefly against The Rock at Wrestlemania. I think WWE got burned when they turned Austin heel and it didn't work quite well, probably feel the same thing could happen here. Besides, who's going to shift these millions of fruity pebble shirts out? You say Kelly Kelly, I say Maryse. Shame The Miz is going out with her. Really? I say it like I had a chance.

Del Rio?

[MrShawnMichaels]

Del Rio?

Wouldn't surprise me. He does have a program lined up with Cena at Summerslam.


Anyone who watched Raw, what did you think? First time in ages, I'm looking forward to a B show. It's the summer of Punk again!

[johnly]

Del Rio is deffo winning Raw's MITB. He's the strongest contender there bar the Miz and him and Cena could work well together.

Punk was incredible again last night. Hope he does sign some kind of extension or at least comes back soon

The end segment was quality until Cena got on the mic!
Does Punk actually have beef with Rocky?
