WWE: Why Only Kevin Nash Can Save CM Punk

CM Punk may be the voice of the voiceless, but he won’t continue with the momentum he has created if Kevin Nash can’t match him on the mic.

After one of the greatest shoot promos in WWE history all those weeks ago from CM Punk and the subsequent Money in the Bank PPV, the WWE has stomped all over that storyline's momentum by infusing too many bodies.

Now that Triple H and Kevin Nash, along with Johnny Ace, Stephanie McMahon, Alberto Del Rio and John Cena, are all involved on the storyline, it’s hard to tell where one starts and the next ends.

With the anarchy that is the CM Punk storyline, Kevin Nash feels like he needs to add more fuel to the fire by requesting that if Punk doesn’t have to follow a script, he shouldn’t have to.

Just when the WWE was getting away from the backstage politics, they prove that all of that talk was just garbage to appease the IWC.

Wrestling Observer is reporting about Nash’s promos being unscripted:

"

When Kevin Nash made an appearance on RAW two weeks ago, he told people backstage that he refused to read from a script and instead shoot from the hip. After more pressure, management allowed him to use bullet points but more of his own words. If you recall, that is the interview where Nash claimed that CM Punk was not a main eventer despite being on main events on several PPVs before Nash’s appearance. Many people raised their eyebrows at the comment, but it should be noted that Triple H, Nash’s real-life friend, backed Nash up on refusing to read from the script planned out from him.

"

This is the perfect example of backstage politics taking precedent over what’s right for the company, and while CM Punk is still over with the crowd, they should be using other current WWE stars to work with Punk instead of bringing an old name back.

Instead, the WWE is using a man who hasn’t wrestled effectively in over five years. They are depending on Nash's mic skills, which also haven’t been workable for at least five years, to keep the crowds appeased.

No matter what is right or wrong, the WWE will do what they want and ignore the wishes of the people that pay the money to see the shows live or order the PPVs.

Kevin Nash’s presence proves that.

The only hope now for CM Punk is that Kevin Nash regains the trash-talking from he had when he was younger, and that he can salvage the garbage storyline that the WWE has laid out for this angle.

While I know that Nash has the ability to do so, I don’t know if he still can be the one to pull it off.

CM Punk will be left out to dry when this storyline hits the fan, and he deserves better than that.
