Was it based or cringe?

Cringe

>to 18+ who saw it and remember the reign of terror: based
>to zoomers who learned about it through Yea Forums memes: cringe

based

That was cringe, but the promo is one of the GOATs

And they had the worst falling out ever lmao. Punk certainly overachieved in life given how much of a simp he turned out to be.

based when it happened
cringe now cause everyones doing it now

At the time? It was based..

As time has gone on, it has become cringe.. Because WWE has beat it into the ground like they normally do.

Cringe then. Cringe now.

They never mention that promo, you fucking brainlet

Of course, since they don't mention Punk anymore. But they certainly tried to do it again.

But even before he left they never "beat it into the ground", they used in a couple of promo packages and that's about it

>wrestlers now flat out talk about how it isn't real in promos

I'm gonna have to say cringe. It was the slippery slope that led to current terrible "reality" promos. It's a cheap tactic that's cool the first time but loses effectiveness quickly and overall devalues the product.

Yea Forums is boomer board

First time since the attitude era my normie friends started buzzing about wrestling and then Paul came in and ruined everything per the usual.

Based.

You just say cringe currently because of his UFC pwnage

There is no 4th wall in wrestling.

Cringe Forever

This.

There's a huge difference between acknowledging that Vince gives out opportunities and that other promotions might give out better ones and outright saying that wrestling is fake.

You missed the entire point of what user said...

You and your virgin friends got worked by the cerebral assasin, Triple H.

Happends to the best of us, pal

WWE Punk: Based
UFC Punk: Cringe
AEW Punk: ???

That promo was tame compared to some of the kayfabe breaking cringe in recent years

Punk was actually pissed though. It was real.

Worked into changing the channel.
Nonexistent

This... My friends never asked about me wrestling after the attitude Era, but they were very interested in this. If they had been smart they could have made a ton of money but instead hhh had to ruin it

based. until:

>hi Colt Cabana
gain height Punk

--->

worked

Why would he go on countless interviews after he left talking about how pissed he was his entire time with WWE then?

Fuck off, Paul.

Are you fucking kidding me... zoomers are the majority of people who were watching during the summer of punk

I didn't watch during that time because I was burnt out on wrestling by late 2006. Watched since 80s was a kid. I saw Punk wrestling in early 2000s and had no idea he has the run he did in WWE..

I thought it was good but in no way was it not scripted. He had the go from Vinny Mac

A lot of what Punk did at the time was cool but he did go overboard with the winkwinknudgenudge shit and this was one of those times
