MARK HENERY IS A SLOPPY EATER! NOT A SLOPPY WORKER. Mark henry has been jobbing for years its bout time he got hes title shot. Now for cmpunk hes a bunghole to the fans so i dont see how he would attarct younger fans. CM is a selfish guy who doesnt care bout the fans but pretends to. I also hate the cmpunk bangwagon now that he won the title so manyyyy sigs are poping up only a few of the people are true fans such as JCF and that guy with the cmpunk figs in his sig and the celtics sig. thats what i think. irey54! Explain how Punk doesn't care about the fans but pretends to. You can't just make a statement about that and not cite examples.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't think CM Punk will be much good, if any for WWE's PR. First off, they tried in the early 90's with the less defined, less roided looking performers at the helm of the company and business was real bad to put it nicely. I don't see it being that different today. Also, no disrespect to people with tattoos (seeing as how my wife has 3) but CM Punk looks like trash with his arms covered in them. Also, his most noticeable tatoos are really stupid. The Cobra Tattoo is stupid because it represents a ficticious terrorist organization from an 80's cartoon and the Pepsi logo is stupid because it looks like he's a corporate shill, I don't care what his reasons are for it. And he can be straight edgae and drug free all he wants, but he looks like he's on something with those bags underneath his eyes. Don't get me wrong, the last thing I want is for WWE to fail regardless of who is at the helm or not. However, if history has taught us anything it's that the smaller guys aren't exactly the best draws. I wish Punk luck, but to me he does not have the look of the person who you'd want to be the face of a publicly traded company.

People act like the average person even knows he is Straight Edge. Unless you get a close look at his stomach, you don't even know. The casual audience doesn't know or care that Punk is edge.

But having Triple H as Smackdown Champ...isn't Yet Raw is a bigger and much more marketable brand than SD is.

Tattoos don't have to be some deep meaningful crap, a LOT of people get crapthey like, for the simple fact that they LIKE THEM. How many people are walking around with the stupid Superman logo tattooed on them? Spiderman? Blah blah blah. I might one day get something on me to show love for my family, outside of that all I have now, and all I have planned to get is crapthat I think is badass, that I like.

It's people like you I'd love to knock the **** out of. Ooooh, internet threats! You must feel like a big man threatening someone who has an opinion that isn't yours. Tattoos don't have to be some deep meaningful crap, a LOT of people get **** they like, for the simple fact that they LIKE THEM. How many people are walking around with the stupid Superman logo tattooed on them? Spiderman? Blah blah blah. So what's your point? It still looks incredibly stupid. If you bothered reading my post I said his most noticable tattoos were stupid and that my wife has tattoos, but if it makes you feel better to take what I said and twist it so you can start something over the internet so be it. I might one day get something on me to show love for my family, outside of that all I have now, and all I have planned to get is **** that I think is badass, that I like. Good for you, but last I checked this thread was about CM Punk and whether or not he is good for WWE's PR.

No, I didn't say I'd knock the crapout of you, I said I'd like too. There is no threat in that. I know what the thread is about, I can ing read. What I did, was address what YOU said, conversations are built on that you know. Now, if you'd have said, 'in my opinion his tattoos are stupid' - that'd have been better. Instead, you said it like it was pure fact.

That's a little more serious of a statement than what I said, and you know that.

Punk being drug free is probably a good move. He seems like a hard worker and is really into his job which I think makes anyone a good candidate for your model employee. His outward image is something slightly different. It defies what most people think of the average wrestler physique wise. His image and lifestyle defy what people think of the average as well. I dont see being tattooed as a big deal in the work place. Lots of wrestlers are but for instance Ortons, Tomko, A- Train have tribal tattoos- what tribe do they belong to? Its not like theyre the Rock or Umaga but their tattoos look cool so theyre not out of place. Battista's show his pride in his heritage and that gay little one around his belly button... no one says a thing... Undertaker is covered in them on his arms...Anyone wanna go up to Undertaker and tell him he looks trashy with sleeves? I know I wouldnt mostly because when I was a little kid I idolized him to an extent and thought the tattoos looked very cool. The world is changing and like it or not people need to accept new looks and new ideas. Im not saying kids should run out and get them when theyre old enough. Only if its something they truly appreciate and are committed to should they get tattoos. On a personal note, Ive got several myself. My personal taste is to see your natural flesh between themed designs kinda like Punk has but I can see how some people might make the mistake that the ovelapping color witout any flesh showing through could look dirty or in a way too busy. Thats fine. I know my bosses probably wish I didnt have them but like everyone needs to remember or at the very least try to grasp, is that what is in the now is not exactly the future..like for isntance my lifes ambition isnt to work for someone else. Its something I and millions of people do on a daily basisis until they achieve their goal of whatever. If Punk can come this far achieving a life long dream while living and looking how he prefers. Then more power to him. He deserves every bit of success

Having a yellow teethed behind closed doors alcoholic jobber as your champion is never a good idea.

No, I didn't say I'd knock the **** out of you, I said I'd like too. There is no threat in that. Oh, I know you won't ever knock me the **** out. But saying you'd love to is still a threat, one you'll never carry out. I know what the thread is about, I can ing read. What I did, was address what YOU said, conversations are built on that you know. What you did was address a fragment of what I said, possibly the most insignificant part of the original point I was trying to make. Now, if you'd have said, 'in my opinion his tattoos are stupid' - that'd have been better. Instead, you said it like it was pure fact. I don't need to sit here and explain in every single post I make that it is my opinion. I know it's my opinion and the fact that I am making it on a message board should be blatantly obvious it is an opinion. In fact, in my initial response I mentioned it was my opnion. If you need it to be explained that it is an opinion, I suggest you find better things to do with your time than post on a message board.
