It’s obvious that Vince just wanted to bury cm punk which is why he lost in singles matches in his buildup to his match with taker at WM29. In fact Vince does this to anyone who disobeys, defies or disrespects him, he hurts you. He even did this to punk during his 400 day plus WWE title reign. He made punk lose a single non title match whilst he was champ. 🤦🏿♂️ You see that’s just embarrassing, furthermore punk got fired on his wedding day ouch. Imagine that. What’s more concerning is that punk developed a staff infection that was misdiagnosed several times by WWE’s medical doctors. However it turned out to be true that it indeed was a staff infection, that’s messed up. So basically Vince paid off the doctors 🥼 to keep punk down, make him suffer even more his sad.
You have to agree with Punk here. In kayfabe, why would four competitors want to compete just to fight a guy with a winning streak? Imagine if it was boxing: if you gave a boxer the chance to fight either the champion or some guy who has never lost in Kentucky, in Kentucky, he'd choose the champion. Now obviously outside of kayfabe it's a huge honour to face Taker, but they needed to build it so that Taker and Punk had a legitimate reason to want to fight each other. WWE wrestling is partly soap opera, so they should've just skipped the 4-way qualifier and went straight to Punk antagonising Taker, leading to a match. Pulling the great Paul Bearer into the story instantly gives Punk heat and Taker sympathy, so it would've been easy to lead with that and scrap all of the qualifying stuff.
I get why somebody would want to face the guy with the streak, as if you beat the streak, you'll become legendary, but why would you have to fight for the chance at going at one guy with a winning streak?

Qualifying for a streak in general? Sure. But the Undertakers streak of the time? Not the best idea but the honor of trying to beat that streak is different than just trying to fight an undefeated guy. So I can understand why you’d want to fight for it. But the better plan is of course having an issue to explain why you’re fighting him over just winning to qualify.
cm punk is right. if you think about it, it makes no sense to wrestle a match in order to determine who faces a guy who is undefeated at a ppv. what are the stakes? what's the story? wouldn't punk rather be in the main, wrestling for the championship?
Sorta takes the heat away from it. Takers WrestleMania rivalries (unless there's a title involved) need to start as someone making it their personal vendetta break the streak and staking their claim. Someone else fighting them for that claim just distracts from the actual story needing to be told.

I think after watching this, you realize why things have gone the way they have in AEW. He left WWE due to hypocrisy and politics. Now he went to a company where you have wrestlers as EVPs(recipe for disaster historically) and people not being straight up and playing games. I think that also he had felt pressured into having a match early with Jon Moxley(the squash match or Rocky/Clubber Lang fight 1 lol) and it brought him back to how wrestling made him miserable to begin with. Hopefully him and Kenny Omega can work things out for a future match but I wouldnt hold my breath for The Young Bucks as they definitely act like children and have no regard for the history of pro wrestling. At least Kenny, from interviews I have seen, seems more like level-headed guy that you could possibly sit and have a civilized conversation with. As much as people dont like the brand split, I think it gives time for both parties to think about it and realize the potential storyline and match series they could have. It also allows Punk the creative freedom without any politics for a while. I think Punk, more than anything, wants things to make sense and that can be very frustrating in the world we live in and the different personalities we have to deal with.
He’s not difficult. He knows his abilities and his worth. If you have a guy who is out of touch and someone else who hates your presence in the company, you have to stick up for yourself. If you don’t stick up for yourself no one will. Punk isn’t some 6’6” 320 lb meathead. That’s all Vinny Mac understands.
I would have said that about a year and a half ago. Not now. He ruined his whole image with that little post match conference stunt with Tony Khan being present. He let his tough guy mask slip.
Really playing devil's advocate with this one. Yes Vince is out of touch and needs to step down as CEO. But losing every week can get you over if done right. Not like this and it definitely doesn't work for a heel. It can work great for an underdog baby face like Tommy Dreamer in ECW.
@@mikecabral2420 it just feels like that is Vince's only idea hes now because very repetitive with the same old trick. I mean there way to get Lana over is to put her through tables every week. I think she is supposed to be a babyface now but who the hell knows anymore. I just don't understand the logic to repeat beat downs over and over again to get people over. It worked for Danel Bryan that doesn't mean it will work for others.
@@stephenbayer09 agreed. I can't watch the product anymore because of how repetitive it's gotten. It feels like everyone is the same and things are just going through the motions. Every week it seems like champions fight number 1 contenders four weeks in a row, they fight again at the ppv, by which point you don't care cause you've seen it so much and if the contender wins you repeat it for another month and if the champion wins you do the same with the next guy on the list.
I’ve never been a big fan of ending the streak….however….if you had Punk cheat to beat Taker in the MAIN EVENT of mania 29 to end the streak….you have one of the hottest heels in wrestling history for the next decade.
@@bb-ballistics1706 Brock might not have "needed" the win, but neither did Punk. And Brock might have been a part timer, but he is also a huge draw. After all, The Undertaker was the one that ended Shawn Michaels' career, and after that, he started to appear even less than Brock. What I will say about it though is, if somebody had to beat the Streak (and I think the Streak was destined to be broken), that match should have been the Undertaker's last.
@@tafua_a well unluckily for you, Taker himself has said that Brock didnt need the win, but Brock's legitimate (and Vince told taker that he is losing on literally the day of the match). I forgot which interview it is, but its one of the interviews he did after his Boneyard match. Oh wait i think it might be during the broken skull sessions?
You can totally see why he signed with AEW, he's gonna have creative control on his character. Punk will be smart about it, I don't think he's gonna say, "that doesn't work for me, brother"
He made a list of who he'd like to work with in an AMA a few months back Darby, Starks, Hobbs, Pillman jr and Jungle boy all young upcoming talent I see Bryan coming in with a similar mindset.
Punk joined aew bc he's a cry baby bitch. He couldn't make it in wwe bc he's not that good!! Punk was never really all that great!! The dude barley made it in the minor leagues. Now he's back after losing one sided matches in ufc. How is he about to comeback and act badass when we all know he would get his ass kicked bad in a real fight
@@murrlandmac6340 I like him, but he is a little chip on the shoulder ish. Before i get attacked bret hart is in my top 3 list and he is the same way imo.

@@sunkid02lol if someone offered you a million dollar contract to fight wouldn't you. Yes most of us know we are going to get the shit beat out, some would do it for the money but some people would do it for passion too.
I knew Punk was going to ask "who says that?" And that the guy wasn't going to have the balls to give him a real answer, instead of jokingly say "People on Twitter" he should been straight and say "HHH has said so, Ryback has said so" etc.
You should hear Punk talk about either one of those people. He would’ve laughed at the guy, he doesn’t give a shit what RyBack or Triple H thinks. He’s said his peace about them.
Having heard everything from him in terms of what was going on with him and his health, I honestly don't know how people could not put some of the blame on Punk. If his health was as bad as he said it was (and I believe him) it's not worth it. He should have walked away far sooner if the negligence from the doctors and the pressure from Vince to work hurt really bothered him that much. Punk chose to stay despite his health getting worse. Both WWE and Punk are responsible for the bad blood.
@@pikkon899 Well, he did say Vince called as soon as he got wheeled out the hospital, and had already tweeted out the match-up. Which happened a lot in his career. Sure, both are to blame. At the same time, it's like what CM Punk said, it's more of just different philosophies, and perspectives of views. However, any of them felt towards each others it was their experience of perspectives that determined how they acted. Nothing you can do about it, expect negotiate, at that point. Which is what Punk did.
The problem with Punk is both Triple H and Vince respect the wrestlers that Alpha Male their way through shit. So that means fighting through injuries and suffering and going out every night and taking a beating. Punk just isn't wired that way and they always saw him as an outcast. It's a six of one half a dozen situation here.
You can't contribute to a mess if it was already messy. Sure punk couldn't cleam 'em up either but he wasn't the boss of the company, he doesn't have the control. Vince neglected a lot of potential superstars like punk because they weren't 6'4" or 250lbs. Vince is an excellent promoter but a terrible scouter
No fing kidding. No wonder Punk interrupted him early on. Dude just had to sit there and listen to Johnson ramble on, and basically insulting him on how difficult he was.
i cant speak too much because im not in the spot, but the interviewer is giving punk choices to answer. instead of asking the main question and then following up based on punks response do you like pickles? you seem to always remove them from your sandwich but never ask for them off. do you dislike the taste it leaves behind? or is it that you dont like pickles because of the texture.

Every single person that ever worked in WWE has a Vince, Michael Hayes and Johnny Ace impression. Punk's is among the best ones I've heard especially the Michael Hayes one lol
Just say it like it is , Triple H was the one saying that punk was a pain in the ass just not to work with, but to do what he was told to. Like he said if you work for IBM and they tell you to do something and you don't do it ,you get fired. This interview and the one from Triple H gives two sides of the story on how this guy was to work with.
Well in context of the Kane story it was the show after Paul Bearer died so I kinda get and he stole the urn after interrupted a tribute to Paul Bearer so I see Vince’s pov
@@LogamusPrime a "measly' loss on the build to a feud with the Undertaker? Would you have Roman Reigns get beat by Drew McIntyre on the road to Mania before his match with Taker?That makes no sense
I wonder who had the concussion. Vince of Punk! Making someone lose, week after week after week, before a big match, makes him look strong?! WTF?! Well on my planet that makes someone a loser. Because please help me out here and correct me if I am wrong. Wasn't Brock Lesnar the 1st choice to beat the streak because of his success in UFC and not because he was someone losing time and time again? No wonder people say Vince lost his touch for the product. Maybe the fact that he is in the business for so long is the problem and not what makes him have a better view on things.
The WWF did just fine without him during that time period... 🤣 It didn't matter if he could talk, Punk was straight edge and that wasn't going to fly in the Attitude Era where the top guy was drinking beer, the Godfather had hoes and made references to weed, Al Snow liked "head" etc.... Punk was a smaller guy and he would have flopped during that era.
@@pikkon899 I feel like him being straightedge actually would have been beneficial for him. Along with his ring ability and his well documented incredible mic skills, Punk could have taken his “I’m straightedge which means I’m better than you” schtick to a whole other level. Plus, it would have made him a more unique heel since straightedge wasn’t really a well known thing back than, He wouldn’t have been main event level because you still had guys like Rock, Austin, Taker and HHH there full time, but Punk absolutely would have been an upper mid carder with guys like Jericho, Benoit and Eddie
@@paulmoore5392 Jericho, Benoit, Eddie and even Steve Austin were physically bigger than CM Punk. He would have been in the lower card with guys like Essay Rios, Taka and Gillberg. Essay and Taka could work but who cared about work rate in the Attitude Era? X-Pac was over (before Kane) despite being a smaller guy but Pac was cool and was part of DX. Pac also couldn't cut a promo and that didn't stop him. Punk didn't look cool. No one cared about ring skills. The only thing he had was mic skills which I was never a fan of and everyone would have crapped all over "straight edge" and not in the heel way but in the "X-Pac heat" way. This was the 90's/early 2000's, not the 2010's/internet dirt sheet era. Punk would have been ok in ECW but no where else.
@@foosdontcry Lesnar was the WORST CHOICE. He didn’t need the rub. Punk could’ve been the biggest heel they ever had. Instead you got a guy who barely worked and had boring matches. But if that’s what floats your boat, that’s fine too. If Taker was a heel, then Maybe it could’ve worked for Lesnar as a face. But being that Punk is 6 foot 2 and about 60 plus pounds lighter, him winning by shady means would’ve been better for him and the streak. Instead of looking back on it saying Taker was dominated and concussed, they could say that Punk stole the streak.
@@turtlehead2 nope. Lesnar was the best. Will never change my mind. Don't care that this is scripted, believably thinking, Lesnar is the best threat to the streak. while Punk can't beat low level UFC fighters at 170.
@@foosdontcry lol ok pal. Punk took the WWE ratings with him too. Brock is pure ass. 2 moves of doom. Here’s Brock putting a match together: I’m gonna German you. Then I’ll German you 3 more times.

@@turtlehead2 Brock was dominating most of the fight, he succeeded cuz he was a freak that knew real wrestling, he still went far enough to become heavyweight champ too, still a far believable ass kicker than Punk...

@@Spencerlayne Yes, during one Cody Rhodes interview, he revealed how Vince Triple H and Punk together wrote the promo adding "doofus son-in-law" and rolling the curtain a little bit. Punk delivered perfectly. Props to him too.

CM Punk is the best wrestler in the world and should be shown the utmost respect. The reason why he’s “difficult to work with” is because every wrestler from legend to Indy to amateur are all inferior to him.
It's pretty clear that you didn't watch this interview and probably have never listened to a single Punk interview and are just basing your opinion on what other commenters have said about Punk.
I mean that isn’t really accurate. You don’t end up wwe champion for over 400 days straight feuding with top guys like cena over the belt if no one is behind you.
Paul Heyman on RAW 2002 - "But you still did it....went against your father's promise to all the promoters in the united states that he will never turn on their backs only for his son to take them all out of business as the ruthless chairman of wwe...it was never wrestling for you was it...you wanted sports entertainment not wrestling...you wanted stars not wrestlers.That's how you captured wrestling to put your entertainment logo on it despite wrestling being the word preceding entertainment in your initials despite WrestleMania being the name of your best show" The forbidden wall is broken.....wrestling has come to life for the first time in 20 yrs since March 2001 for a rematch with the corporate sports entertainment.Mark Callaway can comeback out of retirement to save the product that's not bad because of his best friend's(vinnie) booking but coz of the young micromanaged talent with no creative control . Logan paul and other small celebrities can come on live shows to boost ratings and goldberg can win a few more championships until professional wrestling gets the 20 yr due redemption
Interviewer is talking such rubbish. This isn't a generational thing, it's ever-present. Of course there's still backstage politics today and people fighting, arguing for their spot.
And this here is why WWE is currently crap. Vince thinks he still knows how things should be and books to how he feels... even though he's a much older bloke than he used to be. 1) Why would someone go into a fatal four way just to fight Taker? Surely start with a storyline and build on it? 2) Why DOES it make sense for the fighter to lose clean to Kane? Even if they get their heat back with a sneak attack, you have just shown us that this guy can't even beat Taker's brother - and Taker has beaten him at Mania twice already. The booking makes no sense! Also, Vince was all 'I know how this goes pal, doing this will make you an even bigger heel'. And did it? No. People wanted CM Punk to be 'their voice' against 'the man'. Not a crap baddie who looses to The Rock, Taker and Kane. And falling ratings across the board just prove how out of touch or not caring Vince really is. That said, he doesn't sleep and they say you go crazy in older age if you don't sleep. So 🤷♂️
Piper did a shoot where he went on and on about why he was such a top heel. Sure his personality helped, but punk had a great personality, too. Piper SPECIFICALLY pointed out that he never lost clean. One time, and that was to drop the IC title to Brett. Every other time there were shenanigans. That's how you build a good heel, that people wanna see get beaten up.
@@iami3rian394 No, that's how carnie Piper protected his spot and which is why he never won a World title anywhere, because promoters knew they would have a hard time getting it off him. Ric Flair was one of the greatest heels of all time and lost clean all the time. What's the point of a heel who never gets his comeuppance?
@@iami3rian394 Yeah he feuded with Hogan...for like a year. And in that time they had like two televised singles matches. Flair was the NWA World Champion for most of the 80s when the title still meant something. You know were Piper was for most of the 80s wether in Mid-Atlantic or in WWF? In the midcard. Look, I'm not denying that Piper was a great heel who people paid good money to see get his ass beat. I'm just saying that his claim, that he was good as a heel because he never lost, is a bullshit carnie excuse for refusing to do the job for anyone throughout his career. That's the kind of bullshit that slowly killed the nWo over time, or led to Triple H's reign of terror. If fans have to wait for too long for a heel to get his comeuppance, they'll eventually give up and stop caring.
CM Punk, most wrestlers said he s a crybaby, that he was a hard worker, the pipe bomb, while it turned out good, it came from his crybaby frustrations. On his facebook page you can see him crying cursing and wishing Vince to die so wwe would be better. And I liked him, since he was in Ecw
@TBRHkyleHD Dude spent ages asking the question and as soon as Punk asked him for examples of who was talking about him like that, he deflected and spent another minute changing the question.
That wasn't an clean loss undertaker distracted cm punk leading to an win. ( kane won ) I can see vince logic. If cm punk loses than people would think he can beat the undertaker to get his payback. But he lost anyway. So I'm okay by it. But cm punk didn't lose clean. Distractions before ppvs have always been an thing. Especially in the attitude era.
Exactly. The entire story of the Taker/Punk feud was psychological warfare. And Undertaker's gong distracted Punk as a mind game, and that's what gave Kane the win.
First of all, gong or not, if you can't beat Kane how can you possibly beat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania of all places? Second of all, the payback thing works when the good guy's the one who gets screwed before the big match where he'll get his vengeance.
@@TheAazah Yes he was, that's why him getting screwed to make people think he'd get his payback at mania didn't make sense. You do that with babyfaces not heels.
@@DimaXer88 I geuss you never seen heels cash in money in the bank. After they lose 500 matches than cash in to win the title. It's no different to that instead of the title it's the streak.
Kevin Owens and various other wrestlers have mentioned how hard it is to work with him. Dudes a good performer and great character will be cool to see him in aew but there’s far too much evidence. Colt cabana, Corey graves story especially is very telling on how he treats people. What wwe did to him was messed up but it’s no secret he’s a diva. he earned his reputation

What’s more concerning is that punk developed a staff infection that was misdiagnosed several times by WWE’s medical doctors. However it turned out to be true that it indeed was a staff infection, that’s messed up. So basically Vince paid off the doctors 🥼 to keep punk down, make him suffer even more his sad.
I think after watching this, you realize why things have gone the way they have in AEW. He left WWE due to hypocrisy and politics. Now he went to a company where you have wrestlers as EVPs(recipe for disaster historically) and people not being straight up and playing games. I think that also he had felt pressured into having a match early with Jon Moxley(the squash match or Rocky/Clubber Lang fight 1 lol) and it brought him back to how wrestling made him miserable to begin with. Hopefully him and Kenny Omega can work things out for a future match but I wouldnt hold my breath for The Young Bucks as they definitely act like children and have no regard for the history of pro wrestling. At least Kenny, from interviews I have seen, seems more like level-headed guy that you could possibly sit and have a civilized conversation with. As much as people dont like the brand split, I think it gives time for both parties to think about it and realize the potential storyline and match series they could have. It also allows Punk the creative freedom without any politics for a while. I think Punk, more than anything, wants things to make sense and that can be very frustrating in the world we live in and the different personalities we have to deal with.

Really playing devil's advocate with this one. Yes Vince is out of touch and needs to step down as CEO. But losing every week can get you over if done right. Not like this and it definitely doesn't work for a heel. It can work great for an underdog baby face like Tommy Dreamer in ECW.

I’ve never been a big fan of ending the streak….however….if you had Punk cheat to beat Taker in the MAIN EVENT of mania 29 to end the streak….you have one of the hottest heels in wrestling history for the next decade.
Brock Lesnar got kinda hot after Mania 30 though
@@bb-ballistics1706 Brock might not have "needed" the win, but neither did Punk. And Brock might have been a part timer, but he is also a huge draw. After all, The Undertaker was the one that ended Shawn Michaels' career, and after that, he started to appear even less than Brock. What I will say about it though is, if somebody had to beat the Streak (and I think the Streak was destined to be broken), that match should have been the Undertaker's last.
@@tafua_a well unluckily for you, Taker himself has said that Brock didnt need the win, but Brock's legitimate (and Vince told taker that he is losing on literally the day of the match). I forgot which interview it is, but its one of the interviews he did after his Boneyard match.
Oh wait i think it might be during the broken skull sessions?

I hate these interviewers who use their 'question' to spout their opinion and go on and on and on
CM Punk realizing that he cannot entirely blame HHH and Vince. He also contributed to the mess.
Having heard everything from him in terms of what was going on with him and his health, I honestly don't know how people could not put some of the blame on Punk. If his health was as bad as he said it was (and I believe him) it's not worth it. He should have walked away far sooner if the negligence from the doctors and the pressure from Vince to work hurt really bothered him that much. Punk chose to stay despite his health getting worse. Both WWE and Punk are responsible for the bad blood.
@@pikkon899 Well, he did say Vince called as soon as he got wheeled out the hospital, and had already tweeted out the match-up. Which happened a lot in his career. Sure, both are to blame. At the same time, it's like what CM Punk said, it's more of just different philosophies, and perspectives of views. However, any of them felt towards each others it was their experience of perspectives that determined how they acted. Nothing you can do about it, expect negotiate, at that point. Which is what Punk did.
The problem with Punk is both Triple H and Vince respect the wrestlers that Alpha Male their way through shit. So that means fighting through injuries and suffering and going out every night and taking a beating. Punk just isn't wired that way and they always saw him as an outcast. It's a six of one half a dozen situation here.
@Rik Michael you are obviously not a billionaire.
You can't contribute to a mess if it was already messy. Sure punk couldn't cleam 'em up either but he wasn't the boss of the company, he doesn't have the control. Vince neglected a lot of potential superstars like punk because they weren't 6'4" or 250lbs. Vince is an excellent promoter but a terrible scouter

I wonder who had the concussion. Vince of Punk! Making someone lose, week after week after week, before a big match, makes him look strong?! WTF?! Well on my planet that makes someone a loser.
Because please help me out here and correct me if I am wrong. Wasn't Brock Lesnar the 1st choice to beat the streak because of his success in UFC and not because he was someone losing time and time again?
No wonder people say Vince lost his touch for the product. Maybe the fact that he is in the business for so long is the problem and not what makes him have a better view on things.
We needed Cm punk in the attitude era
The WWF did just fine without him during that time period... 🤣 It didn't matter if he could talk, Punk was straight edge and that wasn't going to fly in the Attitude Era where the top guy was drinking beer, the Godfather had hoes and made references to weed, Al Snow liked "head" etc.... Punk was a smaller guy and he would have flopped during that era.
Punk would not have gotten a job and he would be mid carder at best instead of being a main event talent like he was in the WWE.
@@pikkon899 I feel like him being straightedge actually would have been beneficial for him. Along with his ring ability and his well documented incredible mic skills, Punk could have taken his “I’m straightedge which means I’m better than you” schtick to a whole other level. Plus, it would have made him a more unique heel since straightedge wasn’t really a well known thing back than, He wouldn’t have been main event level because you still had guys like Rock, Austin, Taker and HHH there full time, but Punk absolutely would have been an upper mid carder with guys like Jericho, Benoit and Eddie
@@paulmoore5392 Jericho, Benoit, Eddie and even Steve Austin were physically bigger than CM Punk. He would have been in the lower card with guys like Essay Rios, Taka and Gillberg. Essay and Taka could work but who cared about work rate in the Attitude Era? X-Pac was over (before Kane) despite being a smaller guy but Pac was cool and was part of DX. Pac also couldn't cut a promo and that didn't stop him. Punk didn't look cool. No one cared about ring skills. The only thing he had was mic skills which I was never a fan of and everyone would have crapped all over "straight edge" and not in the heel way but in the "X-Pac heat" way. This was the 90's/early 2000's, not the 2010's/internet dirt sheet era. Punk would have been ok in ECW but no where else.
cm punk, good guy Cena would get destroyed on the mic by likes of AUstin Rock
He would’ve been much more over as a heel if he BEAT UNDERTAKER at 29.
No he wouldn't and glad it didn't happen, Lesnar will always be the best choice to break the streak
@@foosdontcry Lesnar was the WORST CHOICE. He didn’t need the rub. Punk could’ve been the biggest heel they ever had. Instead you got a guy who barely worked and had boring matches. But if that’s what floats your boat, that’s fine too. If Taker was a heel, then Maybe it could’ve worked for Lesnar as a face. But being that Punk is 6 foot 2 and about 60 plus pounds lighter, him winning by shady means would’ve been better for him and the streak. Instead of looking back on it saying Taker was dominated and concussed, they could say that Punk stole the streak.
@@turtlehead2 nope. Lesnar was the best. Will never change my mind. Don't care that this is scripted, believably thinking, Lesnar is the best threat to the streak. while Punk can't beat low level UFC fighters at 170.
@@foosdontcry lol ok pal. Punk took the WWE ratings with him too. Brock is pure ass. 2 moves of doom.
Here’s Brock putting a match together: I’m gonna German you. Then I’ll German you 3 more times. And then we’ll go home. The crowd will eat it up. But that’s your hero and that’s fine. Brock lost his first UFC match too. By submission. But you didn’t know that 😂😂😂
@@turtlehead2 Brock was dominating most of the fight, he succeeded cuz he was a freak that knew real wrestling, he still went far enough to become heavyweight champ too, still a far believable ass kicker than Punk...

Talk to Vince 🤪
It wasn’t “used” cat litter 😂😂😂
Actually he spilled the cat liter on Undertaker not himself lol
And this here is why WWE is currently crap. Vince thinks he still knows how things should be and books to how he feels... even though he's a much older bloke than he used to be.
1) Why would someone go into a fatal four way just to fight Taker? Surely start with a storyline and build on it?
2) Why DOES it make sense for the fighter to lose clean to Kane? Even if they get their heat back with a sneak attack, you have just shown us that this guy can't even beat Taker's brother - and Taker has beaten him at Mania twice already. The booking makes no sense!
Also, Vince was all 'I know how this goes pal, doing this will make you an even bigger heel'. And did it? No. People wanted CM Punk to be 'their voice' against 'the man'. Not a crap baddie who looses to The Rock, Taker and Kane.
And falling ratings across the board just prove how out of touch or not caring Vince really is. That said, he doesn't sleep and they say you go crazy in older age if you don't sleep. So 🤷♂️

@@iami3rian394 No, that's how carnie Piper protected his spot and which is why he never won a World title anywhere, because promoters knew they would have a hard time getting it off him.

Look, I'm not denying that Piper was a great heel who people paid good money to see get his ass beat. I'm just saying that his claim, that he was good as a heel because he never lost, is a bullshit carnie excuse for refusing to do the job for anyone throughout his career. That's the kind of bullshit that slowly killed the nWo over time, or led to Triple H's reign of terror.
If fans have to wait for too long for a heel to get his comeuppance, they'll eventually give up and stop caring.
@@Wurzelknecht Piper constantly got his ass kicked, mate. He just didn't lose clean. That's not the same thing at all.

If cm punk loses than people would think he can beat the undertaker to get his payback. But he lost anyway.
So I'm okay by it. But cm punk didn't lose clean.
Distractions before ppvs have always been an thing. Especially in the attitude era.
Exactly. The entire story of the Taker/Punk feud was psychological warfare. And Undertaker's gong distracted Punk as a mind game, and that's what gave Kane the win.
First of all, gong or not, if you can't beat Kane how can you possibly beat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania of all places? Second of all, the payback thing works when the good guy's the one who gets screwed before the big match where he'll get his vengeance.
