One epic moment.

[Tom]

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to witness one epic moment in WWE history.



I personally marked out, even though I expect something of the sort. But wow! Champion Vs. Champion at SummerSlam anyone?...

(BTW whats with the rubbish replica they used for the title? Who were they trying to fool.)

That was a great moment... Punk's got a lot of momentum going for him. WWE'd be stupid to take the belt off the hottest talent the company has going for them right now.... Jim Ross returning to the Announce Table was another great moment, even though this isn't the first time he's done a return segment as well...

[Tom]

I loved the fact Jim Ross is back (full time i'm guessing). I hope Cole doesn't leave RAW: Cole, Ross and Lawler would be an awesome team...but, I'd love to have WWE go back to the branded two commentators, Ross and Lawler for RAW and Cole and Matthews (possibly Booker ) on Smackdown.

Punk's return was just immense. I thought we would see someone like Colt Cabana come through the crowd when the music hit, but seeing Punk return was even better. I was still marking out when I started this topic so I was almost speechless.

RAW yesterday, can be listed as one of the best in history imo...the start of a new era indeed.

[Ed Burns]

I'd rather see Cole team up with Matt Striker on Smackdown, or if WWE wanted to impress me, Cole and JBL... I thought Cole, and JBL worked great together on Smackdown... Raw would have to be Lawler, and Ross again... That's the absolute best announce team on WWE TV Programming.

Punk's no longer the heel in his program with Cena... He's the tweener now... I like how Cena just left the ring at the end of the show while Punk showed off the Title belt... The WWE's got their Main Event for Summerslam.... Punk's the hottest commodity WWE's got going... They can't screw that one up...

This was awsome to watch! and I agreed with you Tom how fake the new title look and really love that punk came out to living Colour hit song Cult Of Personality.

I believe this is the best year ever for the WWE in a long time...there has been so many memoric moments we've seen so far and we're only half way threw the year. Like you said, WWE cannot screw this up...it's been so long since they got people talking like they have now. Punk is official the man to carry the company for the time been...they've never had anyone like him. I've actually been looking forward and staying up to watch episodes of RAW lately.

[Ed Burns]

I'll be programming the DVR again... I backed off of WWE shows after Wrestlemania's awful booking. Punk's the right guy in the right place to take the Company, and carry it on his back... Now Cena has someone to work with in Punk, that will work his ass off, unlike Orton, who still puts me to sleep...

[Tom]

I definitely see Punk the face of this new era. Cena really needs to take time off imo ready for 'Mania; I've heard reports he has a lot of nagging injuries. Orton really needs a new gimmick, go back to the cocky legend killer...atleast then he had x10 as much charisma as he does now (whats with his facial hair?).

[Ed Burns]

Orton needs to not be so lazy in the ring... He was better as a heel... The beard... I think he wanted to see if he can actually grow one... Fail. I like the Viper character, but it comes off much better as a heel...

Punk's definitely gotta be included in the conversation as one of the top guys in the Company... It's funny how 1 promo can totally change things up... Punk's promo was that promo... I still say he was the only guy, outside of Taker/Triple H, that impressed the hell out of me at Wrestlemania this past April... WWE's finally getting it right with Punk...

Cena's not showing outward signs he's banged up, but I think he could use a break... Sometimes when you work so hard, you tend to not listen to your body... He's not an old man yet, but he's no spring chicken either. Cena busts his ass doing every appearance WWE asks of him... Maybe it's time for WWE to back off on him some to allow him time to rest up some... I hear he also might be shooting a new movie... We'll see about that...

The Title belt Cena was holding was probably an older version of the current belt... WWE makes new ones for each Champion... I've seen the Rock have a couple of the older designs, like the Attitude Era Belt, the Undisputed Belt, and The World Heavyweight Title Belt in his Office... I think they're on like the 6th version of the Bling Bling belt now...

[Tom]

Orton definitely needs to loose the beard. Although i'd love to see him heel, i think the right choice was done when they made Christian a heel...simply because his face gimmick was awful. Orton's over with the crowd so I guess until he goes stale to them, I doubt we'll see heel Orton.

Put it this way...Punk has the balls, just like he said. He has the balls to complain to management and literally show he doesn't care weather he leaves or stays. Punks the new era and people need to learn to like it or hate it...when they say things are gunna change, i think they actually mean it this time.

A new movie? wow, wouldn't that just go against all his shoots again the Rock? Hell, I just want him to have time off because I'm sick of seeing him. I like him and all but I just think its now time for a little break, for the fans to have a little break too.

[Ed Burns]

Punk cares about wrestling, and the integrity of it... One of the best things he said in the promo was he's the best "Wrestler" in the business, and he said "We're still allowed to say Wrestler right?"... That was brilliant. Hopefully now that he signed, WWE's not booking the show 30 minutes out before it's on TV.

Orton's in a good place right now on Smackdown. He doesn't have to play second fiddle to Cena on Raw anymore. I just think he's still lazy in the ring... The only time he didn't look like a slug in the ring was when he wrestled Punk at Mania.

Cena shot a movie last year, and didn't miss a lot of time... I think he did TV only though while shooting his last Movie... I think there's a lot of people that are sick of Cena, but the facts are, WWE's got a cash cow in Cena, they're not gonna kick him to the curb, until they've sucked the life out of him... Although with that said, Punk's rapidly moving up into the top position. Superman's got his kryptonite now, in Punk...

CM Punk is the best thing the WWE has since the Attitude Era and Stone Cold Steve Austin. He is better than John Cena in many ways. It would be a crime for Cena to win at Summerslam bc they can't take the belt off Punk, as he is clearly the guy that a company can build around!
