Same, although Punk didn't get the kind of lines in you'd hope he would... I think the segment was well done and very wise since it makes Punk someone with morals and layers and not just the flavor of the month but a guy who has certain fever points. I hear ya. It is obvious to anyone that Punk doesn't get to write his own lines as he would if he was able to portray that "I'm better than you" persona, but it was designed for the kids and young adults who believe more in principles than anything. Honestly, if was me and not scripted, I would have drank the shot and blasted JBL with the bottle lol You would've also lost 99% of your fan-base.

Damn straight but I am not a straight edge person anyway. If they had made it so that Punk put the alcohol in his mouth and spit it at JBL do you think he would have lost any fans?

I mean, if you smoke the ganja *that's what the kids call it, right?* and don't inhale.... is it not smoking?

Yeah i really don't get this, the Cena v Batista fued has been the main thing of Raw for weeks now, Punk is the freaking champion of RAW and they're not even putting him in the Main events and so on.

its quite horrible that he is not used that often as champion but yet cena and batista are the focole points of the show hmm I wonder who the casual fans would like to see more Cena and Batista or CM Punk? Guys just face facts CM Punk is not nearly as over as Cena and Batista.....

I dont believe that. I dont think you break edge unless you actuallys ingest alcohol. You cant put a cracker in your mouth, chew it up, then spit it out, and then say that you ate a cracker, because you didnt. And it WAS a storyline. For all we know that was tea in the bottle.

It's obvious why he isn't getting this time. Do you really think Punk-JBL is a bigger selling point than Cena-Batista? Obviously not. WWE put the belt on Punk because it's something new and he was in the right place at the right time. He's still an upper mid-carder and he recieves a mid-card reaction. When he paused last night to look for a reaction, it felt like the iMPACT! Zone because you could hear individual people yelling out. He's just not a main eventer and won't be for quite some time. But a lot of people on here find that hard to accept because they are Punk marks.
I don't really watch SD, but from what I've seen/read, Triple H is taking a huge backseat. I hate HHH, but where are the complaints about that? There are none because everyone on here loves Edge. You can't always have it your way.

meh. Punk is the World Heavyweight champion. That's all the matters to me. Let WWE have their Cena's and Batista's. Punk got the title which is something most thought would never happen. That's good enough for me.

Vince does that to stars that he didn't create. Just look at how some of the guys from WCW were treated when they merged with WWE. DDP for example, he was one of the top stars in WCW but when he jumped ship to WWE, they buried him.

It's def. an angle. Why would they mention it? When did they mention he's mid-carding? Not saying your wrong, I'm just wondering lol.

Guys just face facts CM Punk is not nearly as over as Cena and Batista..... Then why put the belt on him in the first place? God there has to be some reason to put the strap on him, I mean when he cashed in it was awesome, but then all of a sudden they just ditch him down the sh*tter and make him move to the side for Cena and Batista? This is BS he's the World Champion on the biggest brand in the WWE it should be him thats in the Limelight not Cena and Batista, that should be him gaining the fans not guys who have had long runs beforehand, God the WWE just does my head in with alot of things they do.

i think its the fact that JBL is feuding with punk that is bringing him down the guy is gold on the mic, but awful in the ring but hey, who knows....maybe they'll have a good match i agree about punk not really being the main event though, its rather annoying at times

Right now I'm comparing this to Benoit's title run. He went several months trying to prove he was for real.

i don't really see anything wrong with the way he's being booked. cena/batista is obviously a bigger draw than punk/jbl or punk vs. anyone really. some people on here are just way over defensive when it comes to him.
i did think it would have been way sweeter if he would have drank the shot, then spit it in jbls face. idk, it just would have seemed far more dramatic, just throwing it was kinda anti-climatic.
