It comes down to your definition of “real”. WWE is very concerned with making you think what they want you to think. If Kelly Kelly points at you and smiles as she’s trotting down to the ring, they want you to cheer for her. If someone says “each and every one of you” or “you people” into a microphone, you’re supposed to boo. This is supposed to translate into an emotional reaction that is hard to have if you aren’t five. That’s WWE’s reality.<br /><br />What Punk did was smash a hole in that reality using OUR reality, the reality of the jaded fan on the Internet who wants what you’ve never seen to be the focus of television, and when that happens, wants something else. They didn’t support Scotty Goldman when he was doing picture-in-picture jokes on Smackdown, but they get excited when Colt Cabana is mentioned by name. They get excited when Matt Hardy shows up and blurts out “Ring of Honor”, but give up on him when they realize he’s still just in the WWE, and he’s still just Matt Hardy. That’s how we work, for better or worse. Most of us, anyway.<br /><br />Punk took what we consider reality — held down wrestlers, pushes for guys who suck, “sports entertainment” replacing “wrestler” on TV, no promotion existing in the eyes of WWE except for WWE, Triple H, Stephanie, backstage WWE and basically everything Chavo Guerrero will be blogging about for the next six months — and used it as a tool to enhance WWE’s interpretation. That’s the genius of last night. Punk took a formula that doesn’t work (“everything else on the show is fake, but this part is real”), paired it with a few other things that don’t work (talking to the Internet on TV, mentioning backstage stuff 90% of your audience has no idea about), and willed them together into something that works by doing something nobody else who has tried has: being great.Brandon Stroudhttp://withleather.uproxx.com/2011/06/the-best-and-worst-of-wwe-raw-627/6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129142657535232200.post-13807885529275453942011-06-28T20:31:19.864-04:002011-06-28T20:31:19.864-04:00Great Promo.

The WWE know exactly what they are doing, and that is precisely what makes them the largest entertainment business in the world.<br /><br />Next week, mark my word, Vince will address the 'issue' and we will all see how this fits into the storyline. The signs have been there for a long time, and they have been building up to this for even longer.<br /><br />The 'Cena Years' can't go on for ever, and the WWE know that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129142657535232200.post-86284601332855249522011-06-28T13:21:45.950-04:002011-06-28T13:21:45.950-04:00Its about fucking time someone stepped up to the p...Its about fucking time someone stepped up to the plate and fucked the WWE. Thank god for good friends like you Brian who let me know about this, props to you.<br /><br />But punk clearly went off script, as you stated he broke all the rules, and said everything you're not supposed to say. Thats why he really is the best in the world, and thats why I will ALWAYS be a fan of his. I salute CM Punk for making a mockery of the WWE in one little 5 minute shoot.Ericnoreply@blogger.com
