5 Incredible Moments That Made The WWE

1. CM Punk€™s Pipebomb

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ms0DFxpptk In more recent years Vince has chosen to adopt a more toned-down, family orientated approach for the WWE. An approach that whilst understandable, has been hindered by the fact that most of his big stars like The Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H have all been coming to the end of their careers simultaneously. By 2011, his missing stars and this P.G. rated approach meant the WWE had been lacking a certain spice; spice that was added by an out of contract CM Punk. CM Punk€™s notorious 2011 €˜Pipebomp€™ gave the organisation the shot in the arm it had needed for many years. On the verge of leaving the organisation, Punk took to the mic and told the audience how it really was regarding the behind the scenes activities of Vince, the McMahons and various other top stars. Whilst it was a pre-planned segment, what Punk said struck the same chord with the audience that Steve Austin had struck so successfully in 1996. The rant propelled Punk to the top of the business with a new €˜voice of the voiceless€™ gimmick, and with the WWE rewarding him with a new contract and lengthy title run(s) along the way too.
