Raw Party: Punk or Ryback 2012? MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

[The Champ]

The time is near. In just six nights, the WWE Universe will have to decide who will carry the torch onwards as the WWE Champion. Tonight, the two candidates will get one final chance to make an impression, in the hopes of turning the campaign in their favor just in time for the big day.

First, we have...



WWE CHAMPION CM PUNK

In the lead-up to his first term as WWE Champion, Mr. Punk made grand speeches with sweeping promises of change. Mr. Punk inspired the WWE Universe, believing that this was their chance to finally see the company head in a new direction. However, many would argue that Mr. Punk has not delivered on his promises, and that they were mainly propaganda to get him in the seat. Indeed, Mr. Punk has taken on a new platform of "Respect" in recent months, and the Universe doesn't seem to be buying into what he says anymore.

If re-elected, Mr. Punk promises:

• Tax cuts on CM Punk merchandise
• Free health care, provided the patient says CM Punk is the Best in the World
• A renewed focus on foreign affairs, especially the countries who respect CM Punk the most
• Continuation of PBS funding, including a new show entitled "CM Punk Street," which would feature cartoon versions of Mr. Punk, Colt Cabana, and Paul Heyman, along with a character named "Vince the Grouch"
• Withdrawal of troops from various military bases, so that John Cena can't salute them anymore

And now onto our next candidate...



RYBACK

Mr. Ryback is a relative newcomer to the championship scene, but he has already brought his own brand of innovation to the campaign, adopting a unique food-based platform. He has implied that Mr. Punk will be "eaten alive" in this race, and has gotten crowds to feverishly chant "FEED ME MORE!" in support of their candidate.

If elected, Mr. Ryback promises to:

• Require all members of the WWE Universe to eat a minimum of five meals a day
• Open a Subway on every street corner
• Cut taxes for the middle class, so that they can continue to live without fear of going hungry
• Eliminate all the jobbers, thus increasing the number of available jobs
• Destroy CM Punk

Who will make the biggest impression in this last confrontation between the two candidates? Tune into the USA Network's coverage of WWE Monday Night Raw to find out!

CRAP!!! I got ninja'd!

[The Champ]

Why does this always happen?

[Darkmania]

Nice intro Champ.

The belt has to stay on Punk as he has to fulfill his destiny!.......................................... .............................;

Jobbing to the Rock!

[Matt]

And Champ sneaks in under the wire.

Support change. Support Ryback.

Spoiler

But seriously, I hope Punk wins

CM Punk had my full support in his last campaign. He portrayed himself as the Voice of the Voiceless. The man that would bring change to the WWE.

In the end, he became a victim of the system he vowed to upend. The John Cena Establishment Swallowed him up and the Stamford Structure kept Punk from doing a great number of the things he wanted to do. The Colt Cabana and Luke Gallows initiatives were put down. The Ryder Revolution was squashed.

And what has Punk done? Nestled up with Paul Heyman, noted economic bane, and said that those of us that expected Punk to live up to his words no longer respect him.

This time around...I'm voting with my conscience, and I'm going third party. My support is with this man.



As part of the 15 percent, I know Daniel Bryan is a man that will bring real change and not just great speeches and promos.

Yep, that's Champ's IMO........

But Vince's IMO is to be PISSED OFF , and this list of Television competition will do just that......

Game7+
Adam Levine(The Voice)+
''That DAMN'' Monday Night Football+
Presidential Debate= SmackDown Ratings for RAW(2.3-2.4)?
=Last RAW Party of Punk's Run as WWE Champion........

Looking good for the ''Big Hungry '' in ATL .......

It's MO, not IMO.

I think if you realize this, so does everybody else that works in the television business. Don't think the ratings tonight are going to mean a thing.

But Vince likes to react to ratings regardless, hence firing Brian Gerwitz.... taking the title off of Punk would fit the mold of reacting to ratings.........

Vince reacts to downward trends, not one night outliers. There's a big difference between the two.

It's always possible that they take the belt off Punk, but I don't think it will be because of tonight's ratings.

Daniel Bryan is not running for WWE Champion, though.

Mr. Bryan is running against Mr. Glen Jacobs for the position of...

THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS

[The Industry]

They'll probably do something stupid like make the match a Non-Title match

Typical independent voter. They don't even know what they're voting for.

Are you saying that firing of Brain was reaction to ''downward trends'' or since the move to Three Hours?
If either ''downward trends'' Three Hours then Punk has been Champion through both.

[mattsheliine]

punk isnt the same champ he was when his reign first started but i dont think they are taking the belt from him

[The Industry]

Just to see people commit a mass suicide on Youtube, I hope Ryback wins Sunday

Champ, stop it! I just repped you for that awesome party starter. I can't rep you again so soon!

I'm not arguing the merits of taking the title off of Punk (though it's kind of weird to use the "Your title reign has been overshadowed by everything!" angle on screen and blame him for the ratings drop off screen). I'm just saying if they do it, it won't be because of tonight's ratings.

I hate you........

[Matt]

Sin Cara's titantron video is tremendous.

Well it's all of it together....... besides CM Punk gets the WWE Championship back for The Rock at Royal Rumble at TLC by putting John Cena through a Table (in a Triple Threat Tables Match).

Plus the NFL season will be coming to an end at the timeframe of the TLC Pay-Per-View.

[Matt]

Whoa, look at JR picking up where JBL left off with CMLL references.

[Greywolf]

Fun Fact: Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel have bigger wins in their WWE resume than Ryback.

[The Industry]

Sandow was trained by Kowalski? He is A Triple H guy?

I get it

[PB]

This is fun. I don't care if it kills ratings or devalues ppvs, I love 3-hour Raws. The wrestling we get weekly now is much much better.
