8. CM Punk's Pipebomb
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsJi-nkQUsw Now let's not get all technical here, I'm including this because it happened in close enough proximity to the ring to be included! On the 27th June 2011, CM Punk cut arguably the greatest promo in years and unleashed an unbelievable verbal attack on Vince McMahon and the WWE. Punk came out with some absolute gems during this promo, stating such things as; 'this company will be better when Vince McMahon is dead' and stated he was leaving with the WWE Title at Money In The Bank and maybe he would 'go back to Ring OF Honor'. The internet blew up. CM Punk's mic was eventually cut off just before he was about to tell everybody the truth about 'the so called bully campaign'. The screen cut to black without showing the usual WWE logo at the end of the programme. Straight away the internet blew up as nobody could tell if it were real or a work. It is safe to say CM Punk shocked the world in a bigger way than most superstars have in a long time.
