Was it all a work?? Was it an actual shoot?? All I can say is WHO CARES!! Last Monday night on Raw was quite possibly the best ending to a Raw since the original Nexus storyline and the best promo that anyone has cut in quite a few years. It was more proof that if indeed CM Punk is leaving WWE as is indicated, then he will be sorely sorely missed and is quite possibly irreplaceable
When cutting his promo, he was the voice of the modern day wrestling fan who is not in the Cenation, the generation that had lived through the Attitude Era and the generation who wanted wrestling more than entertainment. People who can see through John Cena and his “5 moves of doom” ending to his matches. Love CM Punk or hate him, it cannot be argued that he is indeed the best in the WWE at this very moment and what was said in his promo was nothing more than what all wrestling fans have been wanting someone to say for a long time.
If indeed Punk does leave the WWE and go to Ring Of Honor or New Japan Pro Wrestling as was hinted in the promo, it just goes to show that the entire WWE superstars have a long way to go to be as effective on the microphone, its no doubt that WWE has world class wrestlers, it's just whether WWE allow them to showcase their skills in the ring rather than the usual 5 minute matches that we are accustomed too in the modern day WWE.
The only disappointment that I have with this whole situation is that we live in an age of social networking and spoiler alerts an since this Monday they also recorded Raw for next Monday so may people would have read an spoilers concerning this situation. I for one am one of the people who refuse to read any spoilers, if this was in the kayfabe era then this would be one of the biggest angles in history but because we live in a modern era where spoilers and news from backstage is leaked very easy, people aren't questioning how good the promo is, they are only questioning was it totally genuine or a scripted work, we need to all look past this and remember what a great 5 minutes of mic work it was and look forward to the Money In The Bank event and hopefully crown a new WWE Champion, even if only for an hour or so until Punk's contract “expires”.
Monday's Punk promo will go down as one of the best in history, work or shoot, I can only look forward to where this leads to.
