That MITB entrance from Chicago was pretty cool. I didn't really watch WWE while he was around for the most part though I did see him live a few times for IWC when he was still doing indies before that. Is there much from his run that is worth checking out? I know people always pull out the 'pipe bomb' promo which was neat.

>that chicago entrance
Fucking hell

The only thing I can think of that can come close to that since then is Bryan turning on Bray

Heyman engineering his debut to be at the Hammerstein was perfect. Talk about the right place right time, he debuted a made guy;

In hindsight it was like a weird, mini microcosm of things to come; >>3106606
(also the Survivor Series a few months later in Philly where he outpopped DX and that was his undoing politically backstage)

Can we just stop talking about this Cuck?

he was never over and only smarks cheered him

While the summer of Punk may have been sunny for CM Punk fans and Internet message boards, it was more of a disappointing season at the box office. The WWE SummerSlam 2011 buyrate is in and let’s just say that the numbers aren’t too kind to CM Punk as a top guy.

Perception isn’t always reality in professional wrestling and it has never been more evident than this past summer. There was more buzz following CM Punk’s RAW Roulette promo than just about anything sans The Rock returning this year. Yet those seven days of buzz was not significant of overall WWE fan interest. Now that the dust has settled, it is fairly apparent that you need a lot more than one week of shock value to sell an angle to the mass WWE audience.

Mike Johnson has the numbers over at PWInsider.com and they aren’t pretty. According to Mike, SummerSlam saw a 14% decrease in buys as compared to last year’s show. The show did 301,000 buys, 127,000 domestic, and 174,000 international. 300,000 buys wouldn’t have been bad for Money in the Bank but not for one of the big four pay per views.

Last year’s SummerSlam headlined by the great Nexus vs. WWE angle did 350,000 buys. The year before, SummerSlam 2009 headlined John Cena vs. Randy Orton, the return of Degeneration X, and Punk vs. Jeff Hardy did 369,000 buys.

To look at the angle as a whole, you have to include the Money in the Bank 2011 buyrate which was 185,000 buys, 132,000 domestic as well as declining ratings over the course of the CM Punk angle. If you combine everything and look at the big picture, you would have to conclude that as much as you may have liked the angle, it was a failure in terms of business.

um...

dude... in this exact paragraph you posted, it literally says CM Punk headlined Summerslam 2009 and it did 369,000 buys - he's clearly able to draw if he gets the chance.

>>3106724

Summerslam 2009 was down 110,000 buys from 2008

It also had other important matches such as the return of DX

> he's clearly able to draw if he gets the chance.

Summerslam 2011 was all about Punk, he got to face the biggest draw in the company and it flopped

How much more of a chance does he need?

The buyrate was going down every year. Summerslam 2008 was less than 2007, which was less than 2006, which was less than 2005. The last time buyrates went up was 2004-2005.

MITB 2011 and WM30 were the hypest fucking things the WWE have done in the past 15 years.

>>3106770

The Summerslam buyrate went back up in 2012

2011 is the worst performing Summerslam since the mid 90s

>>3106777
only reason it went back up was Lesnar, take him out and it follows the exact same trend which it did from 2013 onwards.

I don't care, it was still entertaining.
I don't care if something draws or not, I only care if it entertains me.
It is hilarious that you are so gotten to by people liking Punk that you keep this on standby tho, ready to post it any time you see someone say they liked Punk and that whole angle.
