Dot Net reader Curt Bennett sent the following report on Jim Rome discussing the C.M. Punk promo from Monday's Raw on his radio show.

I don’t know if you are aware of this or not but Jim Rome did a whole radio segment around CM Punk’s "rant" on his nationally syndicated radio show today. I am a dedicated Jim Rome listener and he NEVER speaks about Professional Wrestling. In fact, during the WWE segment today, he mentioned numerous times that he is not into professional wrestling and never discusses it but Punk’s rant on Monday Night was worthy of discussion. It was very entertaining as Jim Rome played portions of Punk’s promo and added his own comments on how amazing it was.

Powell's POV: Thanks to all the other readers who sent in notes on the Rome show. I'm surprised the Punk promo got a non-wrestling guy like Rome talking about pro wrestling. So if this appealed to even a non-wrestling fan like Rome, is it safe to throw out any argument that Punk's promo went over the heads of most casual fans? I maintain that even if they didn't understand everything Punk was talking about, they still recognized it as something special.
