"Mr. H's" doesn't know how to give a promo without burying somebody.
I think you're definitely right that part of the audience hasn't yet realized that Punk is a face now. It doesn't help that he's being positioned against the company's top face, and against a HHH that was all-face-everything the week before when he rehired J.R, etc. |

Chris Jericho on his return:

Sounds like he's not coming back anytime soon, if ever. I've always loved Y2J, but if he's happy touring with Fozzy, more power to him. |

Wow.
That was awesome. If I had the money, I'd buy SummerFest because of that promo, despite the rest of the card looking like trash. |

I didn't say I wouldn't find a way to watch it
I just feel kinda bad streaming a PPV that I'd like to buy because I can't afford it, seeing as how I usually just stream it because I know it's going to totally suck (see: Capital Punishment). But after that segment, I'd definitely pay for the thing if I had the money. I mean, as much as I hate Cena, he played a pretty good role there, too IMO. When they announced HHH as the ref, I assumed it'd be a "screwjob," where they have Cena go over because of Mr. H's, then let ADR cash in MitB and have his mediocre title reign in Mexico. After that segment though, I have no idea what to expect... |

Every time Cena injects, it feels like everything just deflates.

My freaking DVR cut off right as punk was about to say what I assume was his final word. Argh.
He's so freaking good on the mic. Just when you think Cena/HHH have buried him, he comes back and has some great quip (mine went straight to DVD just like yours). He's got this conviction to what he's saying that Cena just can't duplicate. I'm not sure my favorite thing all night wasn't when he said "Destiny!" right at the end of the Del Rio match. Entertaining as hell. |

I missed the "destiny" thing, I thought he yelled "nap time," or something similar. Time to sit back, enjoy it and watch Punk continue to tell his stories. This is the best WWE/wrestling has been in a long long time. And I think it's pretty obvious that Punk's in the main event for good now, which has been my concern for awhile. Now, if we could make the undercard feuds/wrestlers half as entertaining... |

I was actually digging Cena getting meta, talking about the five moves of doom, etc. Though, him going meta actually just makes his character seem like an even bigger idiot for not realizing how privileged he is. I'm fine with Cena coming across as an idiot, though.

FUNK MAN! Oh my god. Punk throwing out the Curb reference just barely topped Cena saying "five moves of doom."
Raw was kind of hard to get through this week but that last promo redeemed it. Really hope the bored-to-death crowd suddenly breaking into heavy CM Punk chants convinces them to book him huge this weekend (which, by the way? It is absurd how fast they've had to build this thing ).
