CM Punk incident at RAW

So last night during the end of RAW, CM Punk was shown in the crowd being addressed by Vince McMahon. While that was going on, stuff ended up getting a little physical. Check the video then come back for commentary (sorry, the dude who posted it disabled embedding...asshat, I'm trying to get you hits.)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAniQ0L2S3U&feature=share&list=UUybO8GgOUYwcQvf0f8GtD7AU

So you might've noticed what I did -- Punk actually hit the wrong guy. The person that kept shoving him was some disrespectful little teenage prick. Granted, when Punk first got up there and was swatting peoples' hands away and doing the normal bad guy routine, he gave a little shove to the kid. But the kid gave him a shove back, and Punk did nothing. But the kid kept going and going and at some point I think Punk wasn't sure where it was coming from, and he finally hit his limit and took it out on the dude who (I think accidentally) bumped his head. It was just the final straw.

Here's the thing -- fans need to learn that this s**t is a show. It's entertainment. Yeah, Punk is a bad guy IN CHARACTER...so he's gonna get in your face. He's gonna swat your hands away. He's gonna talk smack. That's his CHARACTER, not Punk the man. I've met the dude and he's a chill, laid-back guy, not the kind that would go into a crowd and start beating the s**t out of people because he can. But picture being in his shoes -- you're in the crowd just doing your job, and you're getting pushed and poked from every which way, and after staying calm for a good 30 seconds (which doesn't sound like a long time, but YOU get pushed and poked and hit for 30 seconds and see how pissed off you get), he finally got pushed (literally) too far.

People are gonna call him out on that he should've been professional or bla bla bla -- I'm sorry, if you're at an NBA game and Kevin Garnett is sitting on the bench in front of you and you keep shoving him and hitting the back of his head, what do you expect him to do? Sit there and go, "I'm a professional, it's okay for fans to treat me like s**t." No, he'd lay your ass out the same way Punk laid that guy out.

Sure, it was the wrong guy, but at the end of the day, let's be real...if you're putting on sunglasses indoors at 11pm at night (which is what it looked like that dude was doing when he bumped Punk's head), you probably deserved to get punched in the face anyway. Doucheknuckle.

    1. They didn't actually show it on RAW -- either by pure coincidence or intentionally, the camera shot was on Vince/Cena/Ryback in the ring while all that went down.

      I'd kill to be a bug in the brain of Vince trying to cut a live promo and seeing that go down.
