Doing it before Mania takes away from Cena vs Rock in my opinion.

Punk will never be a babyface like the Rock was.
Punk is a jerk. He's an asshole. Pandering doesn't fit him. It doesn't work. If he's ever going to be a face and work, it'll have to be Austin style... He's not going to get over by playing up to the crowd and playing sing-a-long, he'll get over by calling people on their bullshit, taking the piss out of them, and calling it like he sees it. |

The fact that in a tirade that took aim at the biggest stars the company has, past and present, the company ethos, the boss, his daughter and son-in-law, amongst other things, the only word censored was "douchbag" kinda gives it away.

Yes, complete 100% shoot. It just took them 6 minutes to figure out how to cut his mic.

Forgive me, I don't really watch WWE or wrestling at all anymore. I know it wasn't a total shoot, rather a "shoot-style" promo, I just wasn't sure if he legitimately "took it too far" and got carried away and went off script and that's why they cut his mic. It was just strange hearing him specifically mention other promotions and take some pretty serious shots at people which is why I asked.

The Rock is starting to sound like the old WCW guys, all about who draws the money. Also, he is sounding like the old guys like Dusty Rhodes who sit at the round table.

Check out the front page of TPWW, there is shit about Punk's status and mention of Heyman and Lesnar.
And a follow up to it http://www.wzronline.com/wrestling-n...-punk-wwe.html |

Off topic, but in regards to the Lesnar/Heyman deal, my guess would be some kind of Legends deal, or something that allows WWE to use their likenesses. Action figures? DVD? WWE 12 even?!

As awesome as the promo was, I am starting to think people are throwing the words "historic" and "revolutionary" out there way too much.

In reality, looking at the possible various outcomes, the smart money is on Cena winning and Punk saying goodbye, even if just for a short while. That would put a lid on this whole thing, and means you will be absolutely 100% right. |

I really want Punk to win and take the belt to ROH (obviously scripted, but to add to the storyline).
WWE worked with ECW in the 90's, so this isn't unbelievable. |

Of course, you can have the requisite confrontation with the RoH World Champion, but that's not the important part of the following fantasy about the GOLDEN promo that would result: He brings the WWE championship there, gets a heroes welcome, then immediately shits on the crowd talking about his doubters who said he couldn't do it, says he's the best and that this is proof, and that he came back to RoH not to defend the title, but just to rub in in all of their faces. He could then go on to say he has a bargaining chip for a new contract with WWE. Vince doesn't want him throwing it in a garbage can like Madusa or denouncing it like Shane Douglas, and what he does with the belt depends on what Vince is willing to do for him. [/wishful thinking] And he can do all this with the 'stache, dressed as Magnum CM. No, I'm not letting that go. |

My ideal booking goes like this:
1) Punk wins at the PPV. Immediately runs from the ring through the crowd to the outside to a waiting car, where he's driven off into the Chicago night. Why not have a cameo for Colt Cabana as the driver too? 2) Show ends with Cena looking shocked in the ring. 3) Following night on Raw, Vince announces that Cena and Punk are both gone from the WWE, and are not coming back. Any mention of either man is forbidden on television, the website or any other WWE medium. He announces the start of a new era, and a tournament to crown a new champion with a new belt. The final will take place at the next PPV, Summerslam. 4) Punk "goes back" to ROH to a hero's welcome and forms an alliance with the Kings of Wrestling. He defends the WWE championship at shows. However, the WWE does not acknowledge this at all, and although there are obviously videos on youtube and mentions on forums, there is no official comment from the WWE. 5) At the finals, lets say between Del Rio and Big Show, Punk jumps the barrier and attacks both men with the old belt. A couple of guys from the back hit the ring. Punk clears a few of them but starts to get outnumbered before Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli also jump the barrier and fight them off. As they the start to overpower the WWE guys, Cena's music hits and he rushes to the ring. But instead of decking Punk, Hero or Castagnoli; he teams with them a beats on the remaining WWE guys. Show ends with four men triumphant in the ring. 6) Next night on Raw, the show starts with the group in the ring. Punk says he called the WWE and said he'd come back and defend the belt one more time against someone of their choice, but on his terms and with his ROH guys as enforcers. He explains Hero and Castagnoli have his back, and they're here for one night only. His reasoning for coming back is because he's CM Punk, and he can do whatever he wants, when he wants. Tonight Raw is CM Punk's playground and there's nothing the WWE can do. Cena explains that he's with Punk because that speech he gave on the 27 June woke him up. He got into wrestling to be the best, not the most popular. When Punk beat him for the belt, he realised he wasn't the best. He tells the WWE Universe that the champ is here, and that the champ isn't him: it's CM Punk. He confesses that he telephoned Punk and they reconciled, and hatched this plot. Cena says he doesn't hate his fans or his popularity, but it clouded his judgement and swelled his ego. It made his shallow and superficial, and distracted him from his goal of being the best wrestler the planet ever saw. He says he's going back to his roots, he's aligned himself with some of the best wrestlers in the world such as CM Punk, Hero and Castagnoli - and together, they will collectively be known as "The New Kings of Wrestling". 7) A match is booked for the championship, but under Punk's rules, and it's a triple threat with CM Punk and Cena versus any top babyface. Cena helps Punk retain, while Hero and Castagnoli act as enforcers at ringside. A few run-ins from WWE guys, but the show ends with a simultaneous GTS and Attitude Adjustment in the ring from Punk and Cena. 8) The following week on Raw, "The New Kings" re-appear and admit that as the best in the world, they should be on the biggest stage in the world, and that stage is the WWE. They disclose that they have all signed with the WWE, but that their doing things their way. Punk says he was rehired because the WWE admitted defeat and that there is only one true WWE championship - the one in his possession. The tournament to crown a new championship was, and he quotes, "in desperation". To restore some prestige to Raw, the WWE had to swallow their pride and rehire Punk. Cena, Hero and Castagnoli were hired as part of the conditions of Punk's contract. 9) Thus starts a program with "The New Kings of Wrestling" dominating like the NWO. Hero and Castagnoli pick up the tag titles and Cena starts wearing wrestling-trunks instead of his jeans to symbolise his transition from a Superstar to a "wrestler". Have the whole thing run for a while. Hero and Castagnoli could be on short term contracts and also appear on ROH at their will. Punk is the top heel on the show, and while Cena stops doing a lot of his "Hustle, Loyalty and Respect" schtick, he remains a tweener. Eventually, Cena comes back to the WWE's side, beats Punk for the title and thus dismantles the stable. |

I haven't read through it but did notice it ends with "Eventually, Cena comes back to the WWE's side, beats Punk for the title and thus dismantles the stable." You could book the most logical, long drawn and well thought out storyline since the birth of the nWo and if it finishes like that, the mongs would still shit all over it, talk about it being a huge waste of time and so on.

I'm being realistic in that there's no way the WWE would commit to turning Cena heel permanently because of the money he draws right now. A brief flirtation with a heel stable like this would probably be the most they'd do. Punk would benefit greatly from being the leader of a proper stable for once; one that even includes Cena. Sure, it sounds a lot more like Nexus than it does NWO, but for those few months they'd be the hottest and most despised group of people in the industry. |

I like Chavo's idea aside from the last bit only because the WWE should push a new face while Cena is in this stable. Maybe a face Miz?

So we're agreeing the ending sucks?
![]() Meh, I didn't really focus on the ending too much as the heel turn for Cena and return for Punk are the bits that excite me the most. You can probably tell when I spent only one sentence summarising my finale. They'd definately need to push new faces to feud with the group. Triple H would be an ideal rival, as he'd be fighting for the honour of the WWE against these (excuse the pun) punks who have gatecrashed the WWE and are disrespecting the legacy and achievements of everyone in the Hall of Fame. Face Miz could work also - I love that idea. He could be booked as desperate to join the group, as he sees them as the elite. However, "The New Kings" toy with him, making him jump through hoops before they reject him for a third time. He snaps and takes them out. Obviously, they'd have to fight back and obliterate him to remain to appear strong, but that moment Miz snaps would be gold. |

Especially if Miz once again wins MITB but cant cash it in this time cos there's no championship on Raw (forget about jumping to SD) It really could work. Im just thinking now tho that its very similar to Nexus from last summer and might be too fresh in peoples minds to do it again with Cena. Even tho he never turned heel with nexus
