http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdRo9JsfBZM A little bit of the old school CM Punk from his days with IWA: Mid-South in 2001 or thereabouts, before he joined Ring Of Honor and became their head trainer this is a classic bit of crowd-baiting that would only ever work at an independent show of that size and attendance. William Regal, that master of heel psychology and drama, always used to say that whether youre working a big show or a small show, its all about connecting with the one person there wholl agitate and rile up everyone around them: making eye contact with someone with a chip on their shoulder, or badmouthing the idiot who wont shut up. In this case, Punks cannily checked out the loudest, most obnoxious fan in the crowd and hilariously embarrassed her in front of everyone around her, thereby ensuring that hopefully shell be all over him throughout the match, encouraging everyone around her to follow suit. This clip has been viewed well over a quarter of a million times since being uploaded six and a half years ago, and we guarantee barely anyone recalls the match, the outcome or even the card: but you google CM Punk invisible microphone and youll find a few dozen talk boards cackling about his total ownership of this poor redneck girl one night somewhere in Indiana.
