The Summer of Punk (2011)

I did this because I wanted to relive the 2011 Summer of Punk, and I thought i'd share the journey I took in case anyone else had an hour or two to spare. Due to the nature of the WWE's storylines, there's no real cut-off point, so i've gone all the way to the Raw after Night of Champions. Hope you enjoy!

Busy this afternoon Marky? Cracking stuff though!

Fantastic all the videos are well worth watching

Have to say i diddnt really think that much of Punk until that shoot promo. I just thought of him as your basic wrestler e.g. Orton, Shaemuss, Christan etc

But now he is in a battle with the rock of my favrioute wwe superstar of all times !!!

CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK

nice one mate, didn't watch em all but certainly enjoyed going through them!

When you finish your work about half 12 and your boss is off, you skive.

Still not understanding why Punk didn't go over HHH at whatever PPV it was. I'd near bet my house he won't get the return win or if he does it'll be some throw away match on RAW or by some screwy means to protect the up and coming Hunter Hearst-Hemlsley.

One of my fave articles ever, tried to watch them all again just now, but most of the vids have been banned :/
