The interview between Michaels and Hogan before Summerslam where Michaels just completley tore Hogan a new one and Lawyer just stood by watched.

Joey Styles shoot and gave Lawyer mostly and Mchmahon about everything he had before quitting.

Styles wrote that whole thing on his own.

Some feedback on twitter:

Chris Jericho:
@IAmJericho Congrats to @cmpunk and Vince McMahon for doing something tonight that hasn't been done in awhile...make history

Austin:
@SteveAustinBSR @CMPunk just melted my 52 inch TV with a scorching hot promo...delivery, content, and attitude...one of the best promos I've ever seen.

X-Pac:
@TheRealXPac That was fucking great. The way they cut the mic & went to break out of nowhere were great touches as well. Cudos to WWE for allowing this.

Mick Foley:
@RealMickFoley I have no idea where this @cmpunk thing might go, but I know I'll be watching. Captivating stuff.

Joey Styles:
@JoeyStyles Holy crap! I thought I was bad when I was shooting on Vince and the company. OMG! Holy crap!

Jim Ross:
@JRsBBQ Most compelling, controversial end of Raw in a long time. @cmpunk edgy, attitudinal & full of rage. Don't know what to think. Wow.

Taz:
@OfficialTaz Punk did a great job & I always liked him when we were in wwe together and his work! But I must say... There r many of us who were NEVER pushed to the level Punk was & were NEVER allowed to shoot like that, he's lucky he was allowed to do that

The Rock:
@TheRock CM Punk: it's simple business - The Rock is the main event at Wrestlemania cause it draws more money in one night, then u will in lifetime.

This could turn out to be something legendary if it hasn't already..... WWE.com has put CM Punk's promo on their website, and edited it like a pay per view promo (http://vids.wwe.com/12436/raw-rebound-june-27-2011) that doesn't sound like something they'd do if they didn't want Punk to be acknowledged for what he did lol...

From one of the dirt sheet websites I visit....

Sources report that CM Punk's entire promo at the end of RAW this week was improvised by Punk and not scripted. Nobody in the back knew what Punk was going to say until he said it live on RAW.

WWE officials told Punk to go out and say in his own words why he was leaving the company, why he wanted the WWE Title and why he wanted to leave with it in his possession. There was a discussion that when officials felt Punk was going too far, they would pull the plug on the segment and cut his mic.

It's said that Punk was upset months ago when Triple H came back to feud with The Undertaker and while some of his comments on RAW towards Vince McMahon were well thought out to appear not as a shoot to the average viewer, most believe that Punk's comments towards Triple H and John Laurinaitis were strictly a shoot.

Word also is that Punk had some notes for his speech jotted down on his wrist tape.

As far as his contract status, Punk's deal apparently expires the second week of July but he signed an extension to work through Money in the Bank. Still with last night's new storyline development, sources maintain that Punk is leaving at Money in the Bank.

Hot Rod Rowdy Piper:

@R_Roddy_Piper CM Punk in Piper's Pit!!! Lets really get radical..

That would awesome!

Please no.

I am tired of watching Piper destroy his legacy by coming out every six months or so with his chicken legs and fat gut hanging over hit kilt. I am also tired of seeing some heel then proceed to curb stomp him. Unless you are going to be the Hot Rod of old and go on a diet, stay at home.

CM Punk trash talking a fan during the WWE Australia tour.... Absolutely hilarious, Plus looks like Punk forgot to shave lol

<iframe width="640" height="390" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I've always liked Punks in ring work and his Mic skills. I personally hope he does not leave, but at this point who really knows. That amateur video above was pretty hilarious. Especially the fish hook at the end.

Nice faux-hawk, you homo!!!

Uh oh didn't cena get in trouble for calling the Rock a homo? Doubt anything becomes of it since it was in Australia...

Apparently Punk is getting a lot of heat from his comments & the video was posted on TMZ & other sites... he released a statement on his twitter page...

@CMPunk

I'm glad TMZ posted that video because everybody needs to be held accountable for their bullshit, me included. What I said was bullshit....I'm embarrassed. I own up to being a total douche in this situation and I offer a sincere apology to anybody I hurt with careless words.

Another good ending to RAW..... Cena tells Vince he'll drop the belt if Punk is not reinstated.... Vince reinstates Punk & tells Cena if he loses the title to Punk then he'll walk down to the ring and tell him personally that "YOU'RE FIRED"

WWE has done a great job at selling this MITB PPV..... CM Punk was awesome, He even got WWE Ice Cream Bars a Trending Topic on twitter lol

Why is that video inverted?

The crowd was awesome through the entire show.

Copyright issues.

So, will Punk be back? Will he be stripped of the title (for not defending against Del Rio)? Will they finally go back to recognizing just one "World" champion?

Off topic, but this was the only pro wrestling thread I could find...it saddens me to say that long time Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling owner and wrestler, JT Lightning passed away recently after a year and a half battle with cancer. He was 41.

Not a household name to everyone but JT was kind of a local legend in NE Ohio. Maybe some of you have caught a CAPW show or two on FoxSportsOhio or another local channel. His biggest claim to fame was probably working in a match against a completely drunk/stoned Jake Roberts that went viral on Youtube.

Didn't always see eye to eye with old JT but he went WAY too soon. RIP, brutha....

****ing RIPS Hogan in front of thousands of people.

Thought that wasn't a shoot during that Bash @ The Beach?

I figured while this was on the front page again I'd ask, Is anyone going to Monday Night RAW in Columbus on September 5th? I got 2 tickets 6 rows behind the RAW announcers table

If you're selling them, PM me - was gonna take my stepson to the one in Hampton, VA a couple weeks ago when we were there but couldn't find any close enough for my liking. If you were just bragging about having them, then have fun.
