The World Heavyweight Championship will not be satisfied with a simple tap out. I will not be justified with a simple victory over a man who makes a mockery of all the technical greats such as myself. CM Punk’s millions of fans around the world will not settle for a tired old veteran pleading ‘Please Punk! I quit! I quit!"
Undertaker, the only justification I can give to facing you at Breaking Point is the opportunity for complete and total decimation. I don’t want you to simply choose not to continue. I want you to be physically unable to.
That is why at Breaking Point, I don’t want to make the Undertaker want to submit. I want to make the Undertaker’s body HAVE to submit.
CM Punk WILL face the Undertaker. CM Punk WILL defeat the Undertaker. And CM Punk will do it in a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!"
The lights will go out and the trademark bell will toll.
The lights will come back on with the Undertaker staring down CM Punk, standing defiantly unafraid with his arms crossed.
The lights once again go out and the bell tolls. When they come back on, the Undertaker will be standing alone in the ring. He will turn around an look for CM Punk.
The Undertaker raises his hands and the lights go out again with the toll of the bell. When they come back on CM Punk will be standing behind the Undertaker with a baseball bat in hand.
Punk proceeds to beat the Undertaker with the bat until he goes down, then repeatedly pounds the Undertaker in the skull. He picks up the microphone for the final insult:
"One…two…ten. And it’s as simple as that."
As the Champion puts his foot on the deadman to hold up his title, the Undertaker rises and catches CM Punk by the throat. The lights go out again, the bell tolls, and when they come back up, CM Punk is lying motionless in the ring in a heap. The Undertaker is nowhere in sight.
The buildup can feature elements similar to the feud that Taz and Sabu had in ECW, as well as Shawn Michaels being upset with the Hulk Hogan myth.
The Last Man Standing Match could feature Punk winning the match by dropping some kind of huge lighting rig or production box on the Undertaker who will then be covered and out of sight. The referee will be forced to count to ten.
All of the debris will have to be cleared to get the Undertaker out, but he will be nowhere in sight. In classic "Wrestling Magic" fashion, the Undertaker will have "disappeared".
Punk could be so frightened, that after seeing that the Undertaker is nowhere to be found, he attempts to flee the arena. Josh Matthews attempts to catch up to him,
"CM Punk! You just won the match, where are you going??"
The Champion frantically responds,
"He wasn’t even there!! There’s no telling where that psycho could be! He believes his own ridiculous publicity about being the deadman and invincible, it’s like having to wrestle a schizophrenic!!"
CM Punk hurries without his bag or anything to his car, but finds that it won’t start. He tries over and over again. Then he tries to get out but finds that the doors won’t open. Frustrated to the point of tears and starts mumbling to himself:
"no…no…no…"
The Undertaker walks up to his window holding a set of keys.
The car will start without CM Punk turning the keys and suddenly take off screeching until it runs into a wall. The car’s alarm will sound and the Undertaker will slowly walk away to end the Pay Per View.
This finish will allow Punk to hang on to the title, it will allow the Undertaker to keep his mystique, and allow the program to continue with Punk repeatedly doubting the supernatural powers despite all the horrible things he will be tormented with.
This could also be the set up for an eventual face turn in which CM Punk will need the help of the Undertaker for one reason or another and have to admit that he must be real (most likely in a desperate panic of tears and begging).
It may not be a very "realistic" storyline, but both men are more than capable of telling an extremely convincing technical story in the ring.
Unfortunately I didn’t hear from any of you after last week’s article (perhaps it wasn’t well received?), but if you’re interested, let me know what you think of this week’s by emailing me at chrismariscal@gmail.com
As always I look forward to hearing from all of you. Thanks for reading.
