Well, I think we can call Punk an official heel right now. And I'm really happy. Also the "bullsh##" chants that came from the fans of Hardy should be another wakeup call to WWE to drop this PG nonsense. Hardy's fans which are mostly kids, chanting that, and yet you cant even show them blood or swear that much anymore? Kids I'm sure have seen much more violent things in their life then the current WWE product. So WWE better wake up and take notice that kids dont give a sh## about this "PG" rating either.
