27/06/2011. That EPIC promo by Cm Punk. Today marks its 3 year anniversary. At that time, the WWE and pro wrestling in general was going downhill really fast. A lot of people were tuning out. I know some personally. Ever since, the WWE has changed its direction a lot. We got a hell of a ride with Punk, we got Daniel Bryan, the Shield, the Wyatts. Basically, the WWE moved on from the whole "big guys need to dominate everything" mentality and instead incorporated a lot of smaller and technical guys into that mix, sometimes even letting those smaller guys get on top of everyone else (Daniel Bryan).
It's been discussed a lot on here and on the internet, but I believe if it wasn't for this promo (scripted or not) and the reaction by the internet afterwards, the WWE wouldn't be at the state it is right now. I wouldn't say it would have been dethroned or anything, but we could be talking about TNA possibly threating to throw over WWE, depending on the direction it took. What we do know is that on this day, 3 years ago, the WWE took a BIG turn for the better. Its course was changed, something new came on the table, and I'd like to take this time to thank the WWE for the opportunity to give Punk that mic and of course Cm Punk for being so amazing to create such an amazing moment.
A question to you. How do you think the WWE would be right now, if Punk never cut that promo and just didn't renew his contract? At that time, Cena was the champ, Del Rio was involved in the title scene, and the Miz came off from being champ at WM. Orton was the WHC feuding with Christian and I dare say that everything else was pretty irrelevant. Would we have Bryan main event WM? Would the live crowds be as hot as they are today? Feel free to discuss.
