CM Punk is great! however he doesnt draw money!

Lets all be honest here, this is the first time in almost a decade where purchasing a third-tier pay-per-view seems like a good idea and it has nothing to do with the PPV's name matches. It has everything to do with CM Punk and the legitimate aspect of endless possibilities with the main event. The

But back to the real point at hand. If you do not think CM Punk is a draw then you are out of your fucking mind dude. He may not be a top merchandise seller but there is more to being a "draw" then just selling toy belts and t-shirts. Now of course, that's a huge part of it but CM Punk sells his fair share of merchandise and has helped to keep Nexus stuff moving at a decent rate. There have also been a few times where Punk stuff has been sold out on WWE.com, so...someone is buying. But more than just that, being a draw means you are able to draw people into the product for the benefit of the company. I'm pretty confident in the fact that Vince McMahon would gladly trade in $50,000 worth of t-shirt sales just to get more exposure and buzz that the CM Punk promo/angle has gotten him. That had EVERYONE talking, inside and outside the wrestling world. No one says a damn thing when Cena wins yet another match because no one cares. You also have to take into account demographics. John Cena is marketed to children and females. But if you ask any male over the age of 18, they are going to pick CM Punk over John Cena 9 times out of 10.

Lets all be honest here, this is the first time in almost a decade where purchasing a third-tier pay-per-view seems like a good idea and it has nothing to do with the PPV's name matches. It has everything to do with CM Punk and the legitimate aspect of endless possibilities with the main event. The reason for this; CM Punk. I know I will be buying this PPV - the first since Wrestlemania - and I know quite a few others personally that will be doing the same. Why? CM Punk. I can sure as hell tell you its not because of Kelly Kelly vs Brie Bella.

Not to mention that trying to pin a bad RAW rating on someone, anyone is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard and you are basically saying the Raw rating went down because of CM Punk's awesome promo? Are you serious, bro? (cheap Zack Ryder plug.) I mind as well say TNA's ratings are bad because the British Invasion doesn't drink tea mid-match. The logic just isn't there and you are way off base on that assumption.

You are saying that WWE Superstars need to sell out merchandise and arenas. Yet, you want to get rid of one of the very few people in WWE that has the potential to do so? Do you really think Primo, JTG or Vladimir Kozlov can step up and sell out arenas? That was sarcasm by the way, and if you really do think that then I'm sorry for even taking the effort to reply to your post. There are very few people that have the potential to sell out arenas right now and by the way you are talking and the points you are bringing up - you should be begging for CM Punk to stay. Did you HEAR and SEE the live crowd on RAW and their reactions to Punk? John Cena's HOMETOWN crowd?? That, if anything, should be a big enough indication that CM Punk is a draw and has even more crossover appeal than John Cena ever could. His own hometown was booing him, from the get-go.

Also, you want to know why CM Punk avoided the cheering and fan support in the past? Because he is supposed to play the role of the HEEL. He is supposed to be against the fans. It wasn't really until this Monday night on RAW that he finally started to push against the grain and use the support of the live crowd as leverage. But the fact remains the same, heels are meant to go against the crowd. When they do, it means they are doing their job properly.

I could honestly go on for about another half hour and 20 paragraphs about this topic but I think I should stop myself now before I go on to much of a rant.
