FEUDS 2009: CM PUNK VS. THE FANS

Despite going from what could've been a scorching hot feud with The Undertaker to feuding with K-Kwik and Dixie Dy-no-mite, CM Punk still managed to be hated by virtually everybody when he opened his mouth.

Punk already had the feud of the year with Jeff Hardy. So I guess it makes sense that to close 2009, he had the second best feud of the year, WITH THE FANS.

HATED BY ALL

THE FANS

I MEAN WWE UNIVERSE

Seriously, you could pick pretty much any promo of Punk's at random and it's guaranteed to be gold.

After his feud with the Undertaker never really happened, and he was dinking around with R-Truth, Scott Armstrong and Teddy Long, and generally nobody, Punk would just cut promos on the crowd. And it got serious heat. It's pretty amazing that a guy can be so good on the mic that he doesn't even need a face to oppose him to get the shit booed out of him.

And now in 2010, Punk has taken this feud a step further by bringing "actual" fan members out of the crowd to save them from the evils of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. And the heat is hotter than ever.

I tip my hat to you, CM Punk. I tip my hat (it's a lumberjack style toque).
