WrestleZone has learned exclusively that while CM Punk has been scheduled for several house shows in the midwest, his future as a wrestler for WWE is still "undecided."

WrestleZone was told by a key WWE insider, "Vince (McMahon) and (Executive Producer) Kevin Dunn really like Punk on commentary, and they're considering making him a fixture of the broadcast team."

We were also told, "Vince thinks Punk has a future as a wrestler, but it looks like he thinks Punk is far too valuable as a commentator right now, and likes Punk's personality as a commentator a lot more than the Straight Edge character as a wrestler. Remember, Vince thinks Straight Edge is a holier than thou mentality, so Vince takes the heel character to heart."

"On commentary," we were told, "Vince thinks Punk has great timing and thinks on his feet much better than Matt Striker, whose stock has totally dropped in Vince's eyes."

I love him on commentary, but they better get him back in the ring ASAP. Making him a permanent fixture on broadcast would be ridiculous.

lol it's Wrestlezone....gotta love dirtsheets.

He was the announcer for ROH shows, but he'd still wrestle his match and they'd have someone sub on announcing for him. I would love if WWE did that with him.

BTW, I love Striker too though.

Well, so much for that idea!

I would love if WWE did that with him.

BTW, I love Striker too though.

I fully approve this post. Striker is very good, and Punk could definitely do both roles without a hitch. They could have Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer do Punk's matches and just blather in Spanish for 10 minutes. :laugh:

Nearly two years later...

I know, right? Terrible mistake not following through with this.
