Finally, they are presenting a feud I care about. The only other one I care about in WWE is The Rock vs. John Cena.

Where does this "Punk's contract actually ends in September" stuff come from?

A REALLY good promo is one that is both pertinent to the story, but also works within the confines of the 'universe'. As a nerdy internet fan, I did enjoy Punk's promo. It was poignant and it was delivered with a beautiful conviction, but let's not pretend that it took a tremendous amount of talent (which he definitely does have) to do it.

The Rock did the same thing and people here ate it up. Different rules for different fools?
