PUNK & KOFI: Linked by Professional Adversity

It is a testament to one’s willpower to have everything you have ever hoped for taken from you in a single instant. The real test isn’t how you react at that very moment, but what you do afterwards. For C.M. Punk and Kofi Kingston, they have answered that call to the highest degree

By Dan Harrington

WHAT MAKES A TAG TEAM great? There are several answers to that question. It could be the technical brilliance The Steiners possessed. It could be the seamless teamwork of The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. It could be the pure ferocity of The Road Warriors. Or … it could be a much more subtle–but no less important–quality like the one shared by current WWE World tag team champions, C.M. Punk and Kofi Kingston: motivation. 

To be successful as a tag team, both members must be committed to the team concept. It’s a state of mind that says, “What we do as a team comes before what I accomplish individually.”

And if anybody is jaded with the hollow ring of individual achievement in WWE these days, it’s C.M. Punk and Kofi Kingston. Both men scored surprise title victories only to see circumstances conspire to unceremoniously take their respective titles from them after unsatisfying and undistinguished reigns. 

[Despite turning back several challenges to his World title, Punk was often left sprawled out in the ring (above). Getting revenge against Manu (below), who attacked Punk at Unforgiven, has restored some luster to his reputation.]

Now, linked by their individual misfortunes, Punk and Kingston are determined to prove to WWE and the rest of the world that their absorbed singles title reigns were not representative of their abilities. And both men are 100 percent committed to the team concept. 

“C.M. and me, we got somet’ing to prove,” Kingston explained. “We got some bad breaks. But the tag team t’ing is helping us turn it all around.”

To understand their commitment to dominating the tag ranks, it is important to understand exactly why each man is so motivated to prove himself. 

In Kingston’s case, he lost the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam in an intergender winner-takes-all match, when Santino Marella, who was teaming with Beth Phoenix, pinned Kofi’s partner, and then-WWE women’s champion, Mickie James. While it was hardly a fair way for Kingston to lose his title, the truth is his five-week reign was anything but special. 

Punk’s WWE World title stint was dubious at best. After leaving WrestleMania 24 with the “Money In The Bank” Briefcase and a guaranteed title shot of his choice, Punk cashed in on Raw after being sent to the red brand via the WWE draft.

In a move that was wildly described as dishonorable, Punk pinned then-World champion Edge after Batista had all but KO’d The “Rated R Superstar” with an impromptu beatdown. As Edge stumbled around the ring in a daze, Punk rushed in, nailed Edge with a GTS, and covered him for the pin.

Punk was certainly within his rights to pounce on Edge, but the victory felt tainted. And if there were any doubts about Punk’s qualifications as World champ, WWE created more questions than answers in the following weeks by having narrowly escaped challenges from Batista, Kane, JBL, and Chris Jericho. In many of these matches, Punk was left lying in the ring. In short, Punk hardly cut the figure of a worthy champ. 

The ultimate indignity came when Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr., and Manu attacked Punk prior to his Raw Championship Scramble match at Unforgiven. Unable to wrestle, WWE matchmakers nominated Jericho to substitute for Punk, and Y2J left the scramble with Punk’s World title. The next night on Raw, Punk never even came close to regaining the strap in a rematch with Jericho. 

[As I-C champion, Kingston often struggled against inferior wrestlers like Santino Marella (above), but he has looked much more comfortable as a tag team wrestler, as former tag team champ Cody Rhodes found out (right).]

Like Kingston, Punk was portrayed as a paper champion who never really deserved to wear the gold. From a historical perspective, both men will most likely be viewed as transitional champs, insignificant footnotes in WWE history.

Of course, most fans believe Punk and Kingston are too talented to be swept onto the scrapheap of history. More importantly, Punk and Kingston believe it with every fiber of their being. Hence, they are driven by something deeper than the desire for glory. They want to clear their names, redeem themselves, and advance their careers.

“Nothing motivates you quite like getting the shaft,” said former four-time champion, Batista. “Punk and Kingston are on a mission to show everyone they deserve better. But there’s really nothing they can do about it, aside from going out and winning. And that’s what they’re doing, so more power to ‘em.”

Raw announcer Michael Cole feels this necessity to prove themselves makes Punk and Kofi the most dangerous, if not potentially dominant, Raw tag team.

“Unlike Morrison and The Miz, Cryme Tyme, or Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr., Punk and Kofi have much more riding on the tag title,” he said. “They want validation, and I think that desperation gives them an edge no other teams can match right now.”

Cole has a point: Punk and Kingston have skills and athleticism aplenty, as do several other WWE tag teams. But what separates them from those other teams is their obsession with proving their mettle. After all, at this point, failing at the tag team level could prove catastrophic for both superstars.

Just how long Punk and Kingston will retain the title remains to be seen, as does their place among the all-time great tag teams, but having a pair of committed, motivated champions serving as the standard-bearers for an up-and-down tag team division bodes well for WWE as well as Punk and Kinston. Maybe by restoring glory to the tag team ranks, Punk and Kingston just might find the redemption they’re seeking. Heaven help the team that gets in their way.

[Punk and Kingston show off their new hardware after beating Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. for the World tag team title. Both men hope their title reign will help re-establish them as premiere WWE wrestlers.]

Remember John Cena vs Randy Orton for the WWE Championship match in No Way Out 2008? And the ending of the match?

I'm laughing about it because of these fools trying to hold their laugh, including Randy making that one expression.

Then Randy's two reactions from smirking to fear in disaster.

I mean, John, you DID DQ yourself back in Unforgiven 2007 when you didn't listen to the referee who told you to stop because you was attacking Randy with rage, yet you kept the belt and Randy won due to DQ.

Goodness gracious, these two are obsessed with each other, I swear.

Over the Edge: In Your House

May 31, 1998

Wisconsin Center Arena

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Dude Love compete for the WWE Championship in a No Disqualification Falls Count Anywhere Match with Mr. McMahon as special guest referee. The Nation faces D-Generation X in a six-man tag team match. The Rock defends the Intercontinental Championship against Faarooq. Kane faces Vader in a Mask vs. Mask match and more.

Video link,HD,SD & LQ.

News & Notes: Would Mr. McMahon fire Austin after the events of Unforgiven? No, that was too good for him. Vince wanted to teach Steve a lesson. He made Stone Cold defend his belt against Goldust with Brisco as the ref. If Austin touched Gerald, Vince would fire him. This annoyed Dude Love, so he interfered. In the chaos, McMahon hit Brisco with the title belt by mistake. The next week, a confused Mick Foley appeared as himself. If Dude wasn’t good enough for Vince, who could he be? Mr. McMahon motivated Foley by booking him against Terry Funk in a No Holds Barred fight. If Mick tore out the heart of his mentor, Vince would accept him back. Mick fought a hard battle and won. After the bout, Mick shared a moment with Stone Cold. However, Foley returned to McMahon with open arms and once again donned the Dude Love persona. What happened next? I’ll explain in the match notes.

Meanwhile, DX invaded an episode of WCW Nitro. They drove a jeep (not a tank) to WCW’s arena and approached the door. WCW security wouldn’t let them inside. DX claimed their friends were hostages. No matter how hard they knocked on the gate, they gained no entry. So they interviewed the fans on the street instead. Some claimed they received free tickets to the show. The following week, DX infiltrated the CNN Center. They wanted to speak with Ted Turner, but he wasn’t there. DX filmed as much footage inside as they could, but the security made them leave.

In other news, The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust had enough. McMahon using him as a pawn broke Goldust. He burned his gear and vowed to never use the disgusting gimmick again. He was now using his real name, Dustin Runnels. This led Vince to book him in a bout with Dude Love. If Runnels lost, he must work without pay for a month. Patterson screwed Dustin out of a victory. Next, Al Snow and Head arrived! Al’s on a mission to meet with McMahon and get a contract. Snow even convinced Lawler to sneak him into the building. Jerry promised him a meeting if Snow protected Lawler from wrestler attacks. (I’ll explain later.) Snow patrolled the audience until he realized Jerry lied to him. When he confronted The King, security threw Snow out. Then we have a new group in the WWF. Jackyl introduced his Human Oddities. Some of these were Howard Stern’s Wack Pack. He also had two wrestlers, Golga & Giant Silva. Golga is Earthquake under a mask. The Giant Silva is a large wrestler from Mexico. Jackyl also adds Kurrgan to the mix. Since Goldust kicked Luna to the curb, she joined The Oddities as a manager. Finally, the WWF aired vignettes for Edge. He’s a brooding man in a trench coat. Edge runs screaming through subway stations. A mysterious voice says, “You think you know me?” Who is this enigmatic man?
