Punk himself is over despite the quality of the promos he's given.

The way he's booked is a bigger issue. They book him like he's misterio about two-thirds of the time, every win has to be a late flurry or a fluke, but he's managed to stay over despite that, too. I don't see them putting him in a main event program again, though.

Why don't you compare this:

to this:

The reason why some guys like Jericho can cut great promos in the E is because they are allowed to go off script. Jericho and HBK basically wrote their own feud last year, and consequently, it was the best one of the year.

Also, I was going to nitpick Hamas for using that ECW debut promo as an example, but thinking back I can't recall the last time he got a chance to be on the mic for more than 15 seconds.

That's where I think the 'WWE Style" comes from. It's an easy way to take a great worker and really limit his ability to get over on ring work.

For a given card to flow well, it is not good for the first match to be the best match on the show, so there is some merit to main eventers getting pissed, but the WWE guys are more worried about their spot than the flow of the card. You don't want to burn out the fans before the main event.

ROH does a great job with curtain jerking matches. It's always a fun match but not a match that's going to steal the show. The point of the opening match is to pop the crowd a little bit and get them warmed up for the rest of the show. Guys still go all out but the match length is kept pretty short.

He doesn't get to talk much.

I think the slammies were the last time.

I don't think Shawn Michaels ever got that memo.

Lacey Von Erich must be like Teddy Hart on PMS for WWE to have given up on a chick this hot.

Lacey Von Erich essentially just stopped showing up for training.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-27-2009, 11:26 AM

I know I've posted this before, but it's probably one of the 5 best promos ever, so **** you:

This Jake promo cracks me up...

Maybe I died and my body just don't want me to know it yet.

His dentures are weirding me out. It's like they are going to jump out of his mouth.
