A discussion about THE best PPV of all time is now turning into a list, but f**k it . Canadian Stampede is proof that a crowd can completely make a PPV. Without that crowd I reckon it would have ben no more than a decent PPV. As I already said RR 2000, in fact any PPV from the first half of 2000 will do. RR, No Way Out, Backlash, Judgement Day and then it went all the at to Armageddon. Gret year. SummerSlam '98 was a cracker.....so was SS '02. And for sentimental reasons ONS 2005 and '06.

The way I'd LOVE to have seen the angle continued is if they went with Punk vs Cena in a best of 3 series or something. Match 1 of the series at SummerSlam, then the final two at the next 2 PPV's or one at SS one on an episode of RAW and the final one at the next PPV.

Nothing could beat HHH's "I'll slap everyone of those ugly looking tattoos off of you skinny, fat ass." Yip. Brilliant Hunter. Oh and I'll say this again....the crowd in Indianapolis were fucking shite.

They need to hurry up and give R-Truth entrance music.

Meh that was OK, I was expecting more though. They blabbed on a bit too long. Punk got a few good shots in at HHH. I like the whole Punk is trying to "punk" HHH and HHH won't react thing. "I'm gonna slap enveryone of those ugly tattoos off your skinny fat ass" ???

Punk surely must be going full blown face now, this promo sounds very much like it to me. Now they have a guy who can be another moneymaker.......turn Cena heel and this angle blows up.

Very weird crowd tonight. A large number of them booing Punk.

Punk playing it very babyfaceish here.....and the crowd are fucking dead. Did he say it was Indianapolis tonight?

These promo videos WWE shows thesedays are getting better and better. That one just there giving the story of Punk/Cena was superb.

That should last all of about an hour.

WWE reportedly offered CM Punk a five-year deal at one point. No word yet if what he ended up signing was for that long. Regarding Punk and Vince McMahon, it's said that Punk now has Vince's ear when it comes to ideas. It was described as similar to Shawn Michaels year ago when he began moving up in the company and Vince would bounce ideas off Shawn, or Shawn would suggest ideas to Vince. So I guess threatening to leave really did make Vince realise what he has in Punk.

Your first?

h As Punk said in the ESPN interview, SummerSlam is right around the corner and they need their top guy in the company in the PPV. Playing the song week in week out pretty much gives away that it's him, after 1 week even casual fans realise that it's his old ROH music. Never going to happen. One of the few things I hated about Punk in the indies...far too dangerous a move Agreed, after the last 4 weeks, Punk = money, it would be the stupidest thing ever to leave him off the SS card. Excuse me for being extremely gay, but hasn't Punk been shaven since he returned as leader of Nexus?

Just what I was thinking. I mean Vince doesn't handle the day to day business, but all decisions still go through him no? The final word on what happens is still down to Vince right? As it says theres were 6 different scripts written up, so Triple H is a dick for NOT going with the one that would have be stupid?

Multiple sources believe Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero, who perform as The Kings of Wrestling for Ring of Honor, will conclude their obligations with the organization next month and join WWE immediately thereafter. Though they are advertised for the August 13th Ring of Honor television taping in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, one source says it's possible they will debut for WWE—bypassing developmental—before the end of the month. There are also rumors that they could be involved in CM Punk's current storyline. Hmmmmm! It could be a huge waste to have somebody else hang onto Punks coat tails, but again, only hints at the speculated link with ROH. EDIT TO ADD: Monday's RAW featured Triple H's first night in charge as well as the surprise return of WWE title holder CM Punk. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there were actually six different scripts written for RAW - one of which would have resulted in Triple H laying out CM Punk with a pedigree. Although the obvious scenario would be for WWE to capitalize on CM Punk's recent popularity and push him to the moon, most of the scenarios presented for Monday's RAW were not to get Punk over, but to emphasize Triple H's new role as Vince McMahon's successor. Prior to WWE settling on what we saw unfold on Monday night, the original plan for CM Punk's return was for him to get attacked and pedigreed by Triple H. Alberto Del Rio then would have come out, cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase against John Cena at SummerSlam. While this would have certainly put Triple H over as a major heel and led to an eventual program with a babyface CM Punk cooler heads prevailed and the angle of Punk getting squashed on the night of his return was scrapped. Deary me, all wrestling fans certainly doged a bullet with what would have been an utterly rediculous way to bring Punk back.

Yes, very few, if any, in the crowd would have had a clue that it was Punk. For your casual fan it must have been confusing...he comes and the crowd go fucking ape shit. I do agree that once Punk hit the ring the music should have been cut to let you hear the reaction. It would have sounded 10x louder. I also liked that as soon as the music hit, all commentary was cut, there was no need for any, the story told itself. It's amazing how little things like that can expalin the story, if I remember correctly, when Nexus debuted the commentary was cut and it just added so much to the feel of everything.

I've just gave the main event from RAW another look, and as much as I disagree with brining Punk back too soon, it was brilliant. The look on Cenas face as the music hit, looking around the arena and then the crowd go nuts and Punk is standing at the top of the ramp and saluting the fans. Then when the pair are in the ring raising the titles, the crowd get even crazier. I know some people said the crowd were a bit dead for it but were the f**k. Then Cenas reaction as Punk raises his title and he just walks off. It was almost like Cena realised he is not going to be considered a legit champ and allowed Punk his moment. SummerSlam surely now has to be Punk vs Cena.....Title vs Title. I read that SummerSlam plans were completely changed on Monday afternoon. The plan was to leave Punk off TV for another week, have Cena win the title and Del Rio cashes in, setting up a SummerSlam match, but many feared that would completely end the Punk angle so it was re-written. I also read that Triple H has demanded an old-school style if writing and booking. Building up feuds for a while and planning stories and title runs months in advance rather than stting up feuds in two episodes of RAW and deciding on champions as split second decisions. So I'd expect alot more effort and for stories to be given time to build before insanse pay-off mathces.

Like I said it's probably a fake.....it has to be. I reckon Cena and Punk have to be in the top 5 somewhere. I actually think R-Truth will get a top 10 spot on the list.

The complete list hasn't been anounced he I don't think as I saw this provisional top 10 just now: 1. Miz 2. Edge 3. R-Truth 4. Sin Cara 5. John Cena 6. Kurt Angle 7. Sting 8. Kofi 9. Randy 10. Sheamus The only certainty is The Miz is number 1. They front cover with him on it has already been revealed. I really would piss my pants laughin if Edge, R-Truth, Sin Cara, Angle or Sting really are in the top 10, for that reason, I'm guessing this list isn't legit. No Punk, Richards, Edwards etc. The criteria really is shrouded in mystery. There's no specific criteria. Usually the get the top 20 guys right, not necessarily in the right order....but the other 480 just seem to be drawn out a hat at random or some such.

PWI 500: 1) The Miz 2) Edge 3) John Cena The Miz? The f**k?

Punks new "Best In The World" t-shirt is no on sale at WWEShop for $24.99.

They've ruined the angle with the early return, it could have been so much better...... in saying that I loved it. As soon as I heard the music I recognised it was him straight away and started going mental. Does him using "Cult of Personality" hint at link has infact been forged between WWE and ROH.

Is the plan not for Cena vs Del Rio at SummerSlam?

Hopefully this title reign lasts no more than a month.
