C M Punk

CM Punk

If you thought that having been champion for a record-long reign would tame the rebel and get him to slow down on his quest to achieve wrestling greatness, you couldn’t be more wrong. Punk looks as hungry, angry and crazy as he did a couple of years back when he was legitimately pissed off with the system, and that’s a good thing. The fans love the unpredictable mad-dog persona of Punk, and boy did he showcase that side last night!

In a passionate and visceral display of real anger, Punk cut a promo on one of the lousy fans in the front row that brought the crowd alive, and I am sure the production guys too were jolted off their seats as they had to bleep out a large part of his tirade against the hapless ‘fatso’ fan who had angered him.

Still displaying the effects of the war he had been involved in from the night before, Punk then confronted Heyman and made it clear that their feud was far from over. When he refused to return to Paul’s fold, he was immediately put in an unsanctioned fight with Curtis Axel, who after dominating Punk for a while, was laid to waste courtesy some vicious chair shots by the former world champ.

CM Punk is pure money as a heel and I can’t wait to see what’s in store in the coming weeks in this feud.
