If only this could go somewhere. It's clear that Punk just leapfrogged everyone currently, and is ready to be on a level with some of the icons..only none of them are around anymore.

Only can hope that this is the beginning of a new era as the possibility is there and ripe.

I think my friends and I are actually going to order Money in the Bank.

I'm trying not to go nuts by thinking about all the cool stuff they could be doing storywise with a Punk win, because I have a feeling the end result is:

I lost massive respect for both Angle and Rocky today, not because they're posting negative things about Punk, but because they somehow lack the ability to type the word "you". >:|

(...also because Angle has that facebook disease where you start writing about someone in the third person then switch over to first or second without missing a beat)

It's okay, because they're going to make it really really look like Cena will lose this time by having his opponent beat him up really badly for like 90% of the match! So it will be a total surprise when Cena suddenly gains the upper hand!

Another good read on Simmons site. Had never heard of the MaskedMan before. Not as smarmy or pandering as most wrestling journos are.

Yeah, I hope he has him on the BS Report for some wrasslin podcasts.

Punk and Cena are natural adversaries because they're two sides of the same coin. Cena is a cartoon, loved by kids and hated by adults; Punk is the counterculture, darling of the insiders who sneer at Cena's mainstream. Punk has added a brilliant wrinkle to Austin's anti-establishment character: he can attack the evil empire and still come off as a bad guy.

So true. It's like the writers went out of their way to fuck this up. Instead we get the epic rivalry of ORTON VS CENA for 4 years, so epic that when they met in the Rumble this year the crowd went completely silent even though Orton and Cena did the "Oh shit, this is epic. Right crowd?!" faces.

Pfft, when I finally start using twitter, I'm going to pipe my posts through "gzip -fc" first so they're stream compressed. As it turns out, "�LN���0Cw�����!1��S��]Z��I'[��\qk6���w��_"^���##q/�uD�Y�����#1��`�����,�\jNjqE���w�æ1��aє�-釡������N�" is only 134 characters!

But over the limit's "I Quit" match already had Cena getting severely beaten for around 95% of the match, so a mere 90% wont cut the mustard, Cena can win in a single move, now that would be truly heroic.

Maybe they can reform SES and have them team up with Nexus to hold Cena's limbs down during the match so his win will be even more shocking. I really think that if we make him more of an underdog during the match, then the fans will come over to his side, big time.

Also, give Punk
Del Rio
a gun. It would look for sure that Cena will lose that way.

His Dead Wrestler of the Week posts for Deadspin are amazing reads. Here's the most recent one he did on Brian "Crush" Adams: http://deadspin.com/5814362/dead-wrestler-of-the-week-brian-crush-adams
Click to expand...

After his first Grantland column, I read his Macho Man piece on his site. Really like his style. He goes over the basics, gives some baehind the scenes info, doesn't treat the reader like an idiot and manages to dissect the why and how things connect or don't. Not sure what the regularity of his postings will be but I'm always looking forward to his stuff.

What about a screwjob finish but in Punk's favor? What if Cena hits the AA and Punk kicks out, or Cena puts Punk in STF and Punk refuses to tap? Essentially Punk will "deviate from the script" and refuse to lose. Then, Punk puts a legitamte looking submission on Cena out of nowhere who is then "forced" to tap? Punk then takes the title and runs out of the building while everyone in the ring looks around confused and not knowing what to do. Punk can cut a promo from home shown on Raw the next night saying that due to Vince's mishandling of him "Vince McMahon screwed Vince McMahon."

WCW did this sort of thing in its dying days. It's never a good idea. It's one thing to throw in a few "insider" terms but its another to just scream at the audience that everything else they just watched in that show is fake. Yes everyone knows its fake but by doing that sort of thing you kill any possibility of the audience having any form of suspension of disbelief and therefor the ability to care.

UPDATE: As of Tuesday, June 28, WWE and CM Punk have reached an agreement that Punk will fulfill his non-televised live event obligations for the remainder of his contract, through July 17. Furthermore, both sides have mutually agreed not to disparage one another.

So he's still going to be on the international Tour I guess. WWE really doesn't like pissing off international fans.

It would be nice if the Rock would remember that people only still cheer for him out of nostalgia for the Attitude era and that the fans are siding with him against Cena. The Rock's response to Punk's promo is almost Hogan-esque and petty. I guess Punk's comments must have stung a bit for the Rock.

Plus, to steal one of the Rock's catchphrase, IT DOESN'T MATTER who is in the main event at WrestleMania at this point. The show will sell itself.

I just realized that Punk is not only in the signature at the start of the show. He is in it on five separate occasions, more than any other wrestler.

That proves it's fake guys.

Thanks you, goodbye

Oh right... and even Evan Bourne is in that. He has every right to be annoyed then.

This proves it is real.

Probably because her original gimmick was an exhibitionist and this was the next logical step, kind of like life imitating art or something, well almost.

Orton's new gimmick should be "Orton: True WWE Stories," where he comes out to the ring and tells a awesome backstage story every week

More fourth wall breaking! All wreslers should learn a lesson from Deadpool
