[QUOTE="Black Machismo" Jay Lethal]You inspired me more than this world will ever know. Enjoy.Bret Hart said:I have no words to say. This one hits me hard. We lost one of the best.
You were a tower of power that was too sweet to be sour,
You were funky like a monkey every minute of every hour.
For you, space was the place and time distortion had to be,
And your fans here on earth wanted the madness for eternity.
You met every challenge with fists clinched and face to face,
You even fought and defeats dragons and snakes.
Flying off the ropes with an elbow drop,
There was no way you could ever be stopped.
Identifiable by your voice alone,
Even being Dubbed the macho king while you sat on your throne.
We hung on your words with interviews memorable and classic,
And we knew it was serious when you took off your glasses.
I promise not to lose you in the sands of time,
For you will always be that all time hero of mine.[/QUOTE]
CM Punk said:Fuck.
On RAW, the biggest change is likely that John Cena recaptured the WWE title from The Miz at Extreme Rules. Well, no, actually - the biggest change is probably R-Truth; having gone from dancing fool to setting little Jimmies free with the truth. Although the ever-reliable WrestleZone claimed that CM Punk was lined up to be Cena's next feud, Truth seems first in line to ensure that 'The Champ' gets got. Why, the feud's even 1-0 in Truth's favour right now.
As for CM Punk, everything seems kind of uncertain. Is he staying, is he going? Is he winning, is he losing? Punk began the month getting RKO'd until he couldn't stand up - literally. After learning of the Macho Man's death, he sported some Macho Punk attire in tribute in a tag match with R-Truth against John Cena and Rey Mysterio. Special referee Bret Hart apparently took offense to the attire and put Punk in the sharpshooter until Rey Mysterio leg dropped the back of his head. That's right - Raw ended with the babyfaces celebrating over the motionless body of a guy wearing Macho Man attire. Still, at least Punk got revenge over Mysterio the next week in the form of a televised win.
Kharma started the month smashing implants, nearly ended it in a ball crying, but pulled it back in time to turn face and promise to return in a year to beat up The
Elsewhere, Alex Riley is surprisingly over after turning face and attacking The Miz two weeks in a row. He even has some neat theme music.
Oh, and Evan Bourne is having something of a feud with Jack Swagger. That could turn out nicely.
Also, Alberto Del Rio ran over The Big Show's leg at, like, three miles an hour. "SHOWWWW!"
On SmackDown, the month started with Christian winning the world title in tribute to Edge's retirement. All was well with the world and I could sleep at night. As a matter of fact-- RKO!! What was that? Oh, it was a surprise RKO. Randy Orton is world champion now, huh? Great. Well, Christian just might turn heel, who knows?
Meanwhile, Sin Cara's been impressing everyone by botching the ending of a match against Chavo Guerrero live on pay-per-view. But, good news for him, the WWE's bringing in old lucha buddy Averno to make him look good. And teach him the WWE style, presumably.
Daniel Bryan and Cody Rhodes are embarking on what could be a promising feud. Now be quiet and BAG YOURSELVES.
On Impact Wrestling - formerly known as TNA iMPACT! or something - well, I'm not entirely sure what's been going on. They have a new mantra over there, Wrestling Matters, and they consider it of such importance that they discuss it for two hours every week between swerves.
