Wrestling Observer Live: Is Randy Orton more over than CM Punk?
Wrestling Observer Live Saturday with Jim Valley is back.
Did CM Punk have a pipebomb promo on SmackDown or just a plain ol’ bomb? For whatever reason, it didn’t feel like the crowd reacted to his big line about punching people backstage.
