IamtheHBOMB Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 To the guys who went to Allstate, how big was the entrance pop and 3 count pop for Punk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I watched this at home & almost got chills due to how insane the crowd was for Punk. They made the right move giving him the belt. Now it's time to see how they play it from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entrance pop was very strong, but the booing for Cena was even louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 That was seriously f***in amazing. Pop for Punk and the heat for Cena was insane, surprised the roof didn't blow off. Side note, Mysterio had a ton of heat, kind of odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Kudos to Vince for not only not messing the angle up, but apparently making it pretty damn good! From the attempted screwjob to ordering del Rio to cash in the case, to Punk booting him and escaping before the case could be cashed in, it all makes sense and was well done! Now to see what VinnyMac does from here - so far, so good! Also, a big HELL YEAH for Christian winning the belt - even better IMO that he won it on a DQ! Furthers the chickens*** heel persona and gives him the shine he kind of needed to keep the character hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The SD MITB match was great. Bryan winning was shocking. So many people pulling for Sheamus. I can't stand that guy. I have to start DVRing SD again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox91403 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 All State was pro heel last night I thought. Punk of course was over but so was Sheamus, Bryan, Christian and probably Miz. Best show I've ever been too. I don't think anyone had any clue what was going to happen at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan's not a heel, is he? I think he gets cheered in Chicago at least partly because of his "indie hero" status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a face but ya he's been an IWC favorite for a long time and Chicago is quite smarky so that's why he gets cheered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have clarified that those were probably the 5 biggest pops of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That was a cool event to be at. I am not that into wrestling but my kids (10 & 7) are. The crowd was insane. The lines and parking at that joint suck BTW. The Punk Cena match was epic but the ending was kind of lame I thought. The MITB matches were really good as well. I think the Miz winning would have been good. Chciago loves the Santino (sp?) but s*** all over Rey Mysterio. I thought that was odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of hard to explain if you don't really follow it but storyline wise, the ending to Punk-Cena was pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Cena was right when he said people will be talking about this for years, but he has very little to do with it other than being the right "hated face" for Punk to vanquish. He's been a passenger - Punk's driving this car. I read that after the PPV went off the air, Vince waited around for Johnny Ace to be helped up the ramp, then decked him with (reportedly) a very stiff right and walked out. Even THAT is very satisfying. So far, there is nothing to complain about with the way creative has handled this. Oh, and that video of Punk and Cena's entrances was hilarious! That pop made him seem like Punk Hogan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was super pumped up, and he usually enters with that "devil may care" look on his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I haven't followed WWE since it stopped being good in the late 90's....but why is this such a big deal? I mean...it's all fake...Punk isn't really walking out with the belt. He wouldn't have won the match if he was really leaving, so I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
