That shoot promo from Punk was amazing. I seriously think Punk could be the best talker the WWE has ever had.

Rock was great back in the day, but he just didn't have it tonight. Really good promo overall though.

If you want to get technical, it's a work-shoot. All his promos come straight from the heart, but Vinny Mac isn't stupid, he knows what he's letting Punk do. Plus, Punk knows the buttons to push because he's that good.

Not taking anything away from how good he was because this is exactly what has been missing — captivating, meaningful promos.

that wasn't a shoot.
he said some real, 4th-wall-breaking shit in the beginning with like the persona he has created and how some talent is being buried, but it just developed into a normal heel promo in my eyes. albeit a good one though.

also the crowd looked fucking stupid when he said Tampa, Florida and they cheered

It was a worked shoot, as previously stated.

"shoot promo" just sounds better than "worked shoot promo"

Too much money for the WWE to run Raw and Smackdown live every week.

[/quote]get rid of that saturday slam and main event shit. smackdown not being live is what ruins that shows ratings. i read about smackdown every week rather than watch.

Slam and Main event provides them with more income because 2 different TV stations are paying them to run it. Slam is mainly for the kids, so you know the $$$$$ are rolling in for that every saturday morning. Smackdown live happens once every 3 or 4 months or even a holiday and they still get poor ratings, and with the current Smackdown roster, you would prefer it taped than live lol.

they need to really clarify the roster. either split it up again or just officially say thete is no more divided roster.

I think they just let it be, but it more mostly Raw trying to get it ratings up with bring in the Smackdown stars, while Smackdown just have the Smackdown stars and maybe Raw stars when a supershow happens.
