Four Qualities Of Cm Punk: Just Start Jumping on The Band Wagon

   Now this is a piggyback off Terrell Johnson's article but this was an article I wanted to work on for awhile. Now Mr. Johnson made some valid points about CM Punk's reign and stint in the WWE and his previous promotions.

 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/212843-the-development-of-a-megastar That's his article.

   There were some things that I did agree about. And some that I disagreed about.

   I've only watched maybe 10 episodes at most of ECW since joining WWE. I do remember the first one I caught featured CM Punk's debut promo. I thought it was really good and he had some potential I just didn't know if he would live out his potential, especially since that was my first time hearing of him.

   The few times I did catch ECW I noticed he would get quite some pops but I would never keep the TV on that show (no disrespect to WWE).

   I wasn't a big fan of him winning the Money in the Bank the first time and I wasn't really too big on him until he pinned Edge by cashing in his briefcase.

   That moment he hit that GTS on Edge and won the World Heavyweight Title I knew he was going to be a star. Not because he won the title but just by his whole character and the way he won it.

   You see to survive in the WWE you must have four quality things. Good promo skills, we all know that. You have to have a good theme song. All the legends of wrestling have classic theme songs and ring entrances. Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, The Undertaker, HBK, even Kurt Angle's old WWE theme.

   You must also have great charisma. Now some wrestlers have won the gold without too much charisma but its rare. And if they did I'm pretty sure they didn't win it multiple times like Edge or HHH.

   Last but not least at all, you need to have you a solid punishing finishing move. Taker's Tombstone, Sweet Chin Music, Stone Cold Stunner, Rock Bottom, all solid finishing moves.

   When I saw Punk hit that GTS on Edge, that was actually my first time actually seeing his finishing move. That goes to show I wasn't watching too much CM Punk on TV. I just knew that he would ALWAYS lose to Chris Jericho whenever they fought. But that finishing move is the X factor to Punk having a successful run in the WWE.

   The one thing I do disagree with Terrell Johnson about is what I also disagree with a lot of others about. CM Punk's first title reign was far from bad booking. Honestly, it was the perfect booking for Punk.

   Think about before Punk won that first heavyweight title, he was losing to Chris Jericho and other lames like Chavo Guerrero and the Miz, who I actually like.

   So having him win the World title then have him fight to survive was perfect booking. When you had guys like Kane, Batista and Cena going for your belt it's going to be hard for a guy who's still young and having a hard time with midcarders to hold onto that belt.
