CM Punk diss on WWE


This rant against WWE is brilliant. It pretty sums up the problems with WWE currently. CM Punk disses Hulk Hogan and The Rock in the same rant. This is also shades of the Brett Hart screw job that happened years ago. Insiders say Vince approved everything he said during the rant above.
“He's a millionaire who should be a billionaire.”
“And, the rest of his stupid family.”
I also like that he's wearing a Stone Cold shirt. I read that Stone Cold and he had a twitter battle (sigh).
I am not a big fan of Vince, but he knows how to promote his events. This thing seems to be a throwback to the good old (olde?) days of the Attitude Era. I'm sure CM Punk actually feels this way on the state of WWE, and Vince just let him go out there and diss the entire company.
The kicker is WWE took the staged drama a step further by staging a suspension and removing his name from their web site profile page. Now, there's even more.
From Cageside Seats, ((UPDATE:  As of Tuesday, June 28, WWE and CM Punk have reached an agreement that Punk will fulfill his non-televised live event obligations for the remainder of his contract, through July 17.  Furthermore, both sides have mutually agreed not to disparage one another. ))

The essence of the best promos are an element of truth (or perceived truth).

When Jericho went heel during his most recent stint in the WWE, he was doing a lot of promo work like that. Of course, he was never allowed to fly that close to the flame.

I think that is probably something Vince brought to wrestling (during the Attitude Era) mixing reality with fiction

Yeah, CM goes over the top with his rant and it is brilliant
