RAw is now the B show, however, it seems RAw is building towards a younger audience. I'm not thrilled with Punk winning because I still think he sux in the ring and all the marks will feen for months now, buut it'llbe interesting to see if WWE develops Raw into a new generation platform

What I didn't like about it was that Punk had to win in some cheap way. He had to wait until someone was beaten up and then go for the belt. Edge did it but he's a major heel. RVD at least went through a complete match against Cena to earn it. In a way, Punk seems like a sneaky heel for doing it. But now that I think about it, it's like giving Edge a taste of his own medicine. So I guess it is justification. Yeah. Had he have cashed it in on anyone else in this way, it wouldn't have worked. But it works with Edge.

Fantastic!
Thanks to my dads uncanny ability to pay Sky TV bills (..ahem) I missed Raw. But I logged on to find out about the news just now. Absolutly amazing news! I marked out like a kid, I then Youtubed it and marked out even more.
Hopefully he gets a bit of a run now... Just brilliant.

I see Punk holding the title to atleast SummerSlam as Edge should get a rematch maybe at GAB with Punk going over in that match and then either Batista or Cena coming after the title for SummerSlam. I actually thought Edge would come down after Punk beat JBL and spear him and demand his rematch at GAB, I just figured since the made a point of right before the match showing that Edge had earlier left the building that he would show up and end the night suprising Punk from behind.

It seems like so many people here hated Punk up until last night. Looking around this thread I see people who said they hate him, but love him now that he is champion. For example: I hate Punk now with a passion. Very dry and bland superstar. Notice the username/his sig.

Im pretty happy to see him win. I've pretty much watch Punk's career from his warly days in St. Paul Championship Wrestling, to Steel Domain Wrestling, to ROH & OVW & now wwe. Its good to see him win the big gold belt. Good for him. Now we will see how long he can hold onto it

A day later, and I'm still having a hard time comprehending that he won the title. Hopefully it's a long reign.

I love how Punk, a face, used a heel tactic and everybody hates him. When other faces have used heel tactics and won their matches and people like them still.

I was so pissed off. I was at my friends house and all he wanted to watch was the intellectually- disabled Twins vs. Detroit baseball game. I took his remote and switched it to RAW half way through and seen a graphic of punk with the WHC on his shoulder vs. JBL and was just floored. I was speechless and ended up throwing the remote at him for making me miss it.

Well, I finally bought my first piece of wrestling merchandise (besides a figure) since I was... crap, a kid. I decided to screw waiting for someone else to buy it and post GOOD pictures of the details like the tattoos, and just do it myself.
I ordered the limited CM Punk bobblehead tonight. When it comes in, if anyone wants high quality, up close photos, say somethin' in this thread, and I'll post pics up the day it comes in. Hopefully the tattoos look better than what Jakks have done.

Well I never really marked out, I'm neither here nor there with Punk, I think he's a good wrestler, there's just something about him that doesn't seem to be a World's champion, he's just not ready yet.
That being said though the beginning of Raw was the best portion of Raw (maybe entire WWE) that I've seen in a long time, and it is nice to see them at least try, even though they may be throwing him in the deep end. It was a great bit of TV and pretty cool to see, even though I'm an Edge mark.
Still there were a couple of things I noticed/thought of when seeing this.
The reaction for Punk was a bit underwhelming, when his music hit there was very little reaction in fact (expecially compared to when Batista's & Cena's music hit) the crowd however did get pumped when he won, but I think some was that rebound cheer off of Edge's heat and him getting his. Comparing it with Edge's reaction he got when he cashed in as well (NYR 06) also makes it seem a bit underwhelming, really at least for me Edge's cash in was a much more memorable moment then Punk's cash in. Also the crowd were cheering "Cena Cena" in Punk's main event.
It would've been alot more satisfying (at least for me) if it would've been Jeff Hardy cashing in the briefcase, I think it would've been a more magical moment and the crowd would've given a bigger reaction, however I don't think that's how WWE would've done it with Hardy had he won.
I will give it some time, but really I just can't see Punk as a viable main eventer at this time and think that given added things we will see Cena with the belt before or at Unforgiven. It still was some great TV and it'll be fun watching how it unfolds.
