He came. He saw. He conquered CM Punk.

Even though still feeling the lingering effects of being attacked by Kane, The Undertaker summoned from within to get the job done against the leader of The Straight Edge Society. After downing Punk with a chokeslam, it looked like it was over, but Punk managed to kick out of an attempted pinfall. Next, The Deadman went for a Tombstone, but Punk countered with the GTS. Finally, using his lethal Hell’s Gate submission hold, The Phenom forced Punk to tap out.

In a 2-on-1 Handicap Match, Big Show reigned supreme by making Luke Gallows tap-out to the Colossal Clutch. After the bell, CM Punk stunned the WWE Universe by executing the GTS on the war-torn “first disciple” of his Straight Edge Society.

Against Me! have grown up quite a bit in the last decade, and while their songs may have gotten a bit catchier, they are as passionate, energetic, and louder than ever. With the release of the anthemic new album, White Crosses, the band has proven to be one of the most earnest punk rock bands around today.

Against Me! are toning it down a notch for a special acoustic performance here at the JBTV HD sound stage, followed by an in…terview with JBTV host Brendan Kelly. Chicago’s own Alkaline Trio have returned to their Midwestern roots with their latest album, This Addiction. Eschewing the major labels, the band instead employed some DIY ethos and self-released the new tunes. JBTV host Toby Jeg catches up with the band on this week’s episode as they rock the sun-soaked crowd at Vans Warped Tour in Chicago. For a little change of pace, host Ryan Manno interviews WWE superstar CM Punk, or “The Second City Saint”. He’s known for his corkscrew diving neckbreaker, inverted frankensteiner and suicide slam. Needless to say, this is a guy you want to keep on your good side. To round out this episode of rabble-rousers, we’ve got a classic Jerry Bryant interview with the late legendary Joey Ramone.

I will be adding screen captures soon.

Thanks to Katy for sending in scans of Punk in the WWE Yearbook magazine.

CM Punk got his televangelist on again, much to the dismay of the WWE Universe. The preachy Superstar, along with his disciple Luke Gallows, railed against Monday Night Raw and its 900 episodes, blaming the show for everything short of locusts and floods.

While Punk spat ire and brimstone, Big Show descended to the ring like an avenging angel. The World’s Largest Athlete not only silenced Punk, he slapped him across the chest with his meaty paw. As the S.E.S. high priest high-tailed it out of the ring and looked on, Show punished his brainwashed devotee, Gallows.

The Straight Edge Society followers are in the dressing room and Luke says that he cannot forgive Punk for walking out on them at SummerSlam. Joseph asks aloud if any of them would walk away like Punk did. Serena says that Luke and Joseph don’t understand. She says that Punk was trying to teach them a lesson. They need to prove that they are strong. Serena says that tonight is their chance because they will beat Kelly Kelly and Big Show. Joseph says that Serena isn’t ready to be in a match, but Serena says that she has been training for months and that she is ready and that they will show that they deserve Punk’s admiration.

Punk enters and he wonders what they mean by his admiration. Punk says that none of them deserve anything, least of all their admiration. Punk says that he watched Raw and what Nexus did peaked his interest. Punk says that if they don’t win their match, they are out of the Straight Edge Society. Punk leaves and we go to commercial.

After the match, Punk is on the stage and he applauds their performance. Punk gives Serena a hug to celebrate her first win.

In a 3-on-1 Handicap Match, one might expect the larger number to come out on top. But by chokeslamming Joseph Mercury onto a prone Luke Gallows, Big Show proved that just because CM Punk’s group of cronies are straight edge, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better than you – in the squared circle.

For weeks, CM Punk and the Straight Edge Society have been at odds with The World’s Largest Athlete, most recently attacking the Superstar’s hand in a brutal steel step assault, damaging tendons.

During parts of the match, The Straight Edge Society seemed to have the upper hand. Outside the ring, the group pummeled Big Show after smartly grounding him, trying to wear down the giant and give their team a better chance at pulling off the victory. But their overzealousness and cockiness in the numbers game backfired.

Never one to back down, Big Show used his anger in the bout, manhandling the bald-headed Luke Gallows and Joseph Mercury to The Second City Savior’s dismay. Though the odds may have been stacked against Show, the Knucklehead star stood firm.

Before the WWE Official finished the three-count, Punk was finished, too. The leader walked out, disgusted with the dismal performance he had just seen from his followers. With Serena falling off the wagon, and The Straight Edge Superstar continually reprimanding his devoted cohorts, the foundation of The S.E.S. appears to be on shaky ground.

What’s next for The S.E.S.? CM Punk has always been intent on saving everyone else, but can he save his own society?

Suffering an absolute onslaught by The Straight Edge Society two weeks ago, in which his right hand was continuously stomped upon, the furious World’s Largest Athlete returned to make a powerful statement. As The S.E.S. looked on, Big Show took out three local athletes with overwhelming force in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. The final blow came when Big Show unleashed his devastating knockout punch, using the very arm that CM Punk and his disciplines had attacked.

Will The S.E.S be able to conquer the angry giant in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match at SummerSlam?
