WWE and the CM Punk Storyline

Look at the last few posts on my blog.  They are all related to CM Punk and his promo somehow.  The reason? Because the promo he shot was the best thing to happen to WWE for a while now.  They brought us back into the company and wanted to find out what was going to happen with his contract and after he left.  Hell, it was the one reason I actually ordered the PPV last week and I never order them anymore.  Not with the internet giving me the same results for free.


But the story intrigued me.  Even better is that the story is continuing outside the ring with Punk.  He took the title to a Cubs game the Monday after he won it, the same night that Vince was fired.  He has made claims on his Twitter that the real champ is him and that bogus tournament they are running is not true.  The best thing he did was crash the WWE panel at San Diego Comic Con this week.  There are videos swirling around the internet and makes us see what he is doing now that he is not under contract with the WWE.

Or is he?  I have been wondering that since he won the title last Sunday.  Why would they give the title to him and then let him walk out?  Not only that, but let him go into the WWE panel at SDCC and talk to Hunter about WWE things with him and get an interaction.  WWE has been using the whole "CM Punk didn't exist" mantra, so why bother acknowledging him at your panel?  You could have kicked him out.

Even better was they posted the video on their site.  What does that matter?  First, that they were recording it and knew it would happen (which their footage is shit compared to the others on the net) and second that it is part of the story.  They could have let the independent youtubers of the world post it on their and let it game notoriety that way, instead you gave away the best part.  CM Punk is still under contract with the WWE and posting the video on your site was the worse thing you could have done to prolong the story.  Dumb move, WWE, dumb move.

That is all.  I just had to share this because WWE is showing that they don't know social media or youtube as well as they should.  Maybe they should talk to Zack Ryder, he seems to know what the hell he's doing.  Probably why CM Punk mentions him in his questions at the panel.
