It will have been a work.

I really can't see Charles Robinson getting fined $500K and Punk just paying it off for him.

Would be a strange work seeing as Punk is now heel.

I read the article and assumed pwtorch had added an extra zero or two.

Note to Matt Hardy.
If you are supposed to be a secret and not let anyone know that it is you as part of aces and eights then don't jump on the edge of the ring with your mast around your neck.

Haven't watched since No Way Out, any sign of any improvement?

At 24, its embarrassing enough watching WWE to start with, even worse if it feels like wasting hours.

Punk+Paul Hayman Vs Cena should be enough I guess.

I think pairing Punk with Heyman is a good call. Punk is still not getting a full on heel reaction and Heyman can get heat from an iceberg and not just because of an annoying voice (Vicky Guerrero I'm looking at you) but because he's able to work a crowd which is something that a lot of modern wrestlers lack the ability to do.

I've always preferred heel characters, but when you throw in guys like Heyman to back them up you simply can't lose.

In all honesty I'm not sure how much it will change.
Punk reasons for his 'respect' rants are right on the money that being the champ not getting main events due to super Cena hogging the limelight and the smarter fans know this to be true so the heel turn won't work.
Putting Punk and Hayman together is a great idea but if both of them keep telling the same 'truth's' then he still isn't going to get big heat for the exact same reason.

Found this amusing whilst reading JR's blog;

'Hope to hit El Paso this weekend to watch my Oklahoma Sooners kick off the 2012 season versus UTEP at the ridiculous starting time of 8:30 in El Paso and 9:30 in Oklahoma thanks to the TV folks who own the game and now call the shots in every league.'

Nice to see that we're not the only ones with this problem

This is not good right now. Michael Cole silent for nearly 10 minutes, Lawler is in serious condition backstage. Possibly a heart attack.

Taken to hospital and in a stable condition. Thoughts are with him and his family now.
