I think Punk may be coming to the libertarian side of Kane, unfortunately.Kane wanted to embrace Cena, but Cena didn't want to.
So I would say that Kane and Punk and better friends.

I think I'm actually going to record Raw tonight, see what happens.

That's such a friendly embrace from Kane, so much so that CM Punkane is crying... overwhelmed with emotions.
hahahahaha god this is so hilarious

I don't understand why Ricardo isn't an active wrestler, he's got more personality than practically anyone else on the show.
And I mean, if you look at the other joke characters (Ryder, Santino, Kane, Brodus, etc.) it's not like there's a high watermark for wrestling ability.

I'm in a pattern having stayed up to watch the NBA Playoffs, so I think I'll stay up and punish myself tonight.
As much as you hate or thing that Kane's character is a joke, he's been cemented high on the mid-card and as a main-eventer that helps with feuds and puts people over. Meanwhile none of those other joke characters are worth a crap or will have done anything remarkable in a few years.
And looking how things are going, Ziggler might take Kane's place as a main-eventer jobber.

If there was anything wrong with my examples it was that Santino is a far more competent wrestler than he has any reason to be. He gets to wrestle roughly one real match per year and has never lost the ability he has.
Ziggler will always have a job forever* because he can make anyone look like a champion but he needs to win a feud, any feud, at some point in time.

Until he breaks his neck doing a triple backflip in a Ryback match, then he'll just take over whatever position Droz has

3 hour Raw tonight. Gotta tune in to see what Vince does. I'm going to guess nothing happens until next week.
The biggest news here is new PWG music! Also, the reason for the early title matches were due to Steen having a concussion and steen/SSB having to catch a flight
Going back to your previous examples of joke characters, and not specifically talking about joke characters but about main-event jobbers, Kane is the position he is right now (WHC 2 years ago, feuding with Cena, Orton, Punk, Bryan now, etc) because he's been always a threat, he was a credible monster heel and a capable big man that wouldn't pull a hamstring 2 minutes into a match.
But Ziggler isn't a threat to anyone, he wasn't a threat to Edge, he wasn't to Punk, or to Sheamus. Comparing him to Kane, Kane only got a 1 day title run, maybe Ziggler needs those extra 23 hours, or maybe he just needs to win matches against credible opponents, even if he doesn't wins a title.

Half tempted to put a 'Vince McMahon Return Sweepstake':
1. Fires Someone
2. Kiss My Ass Club gains a new member
3. Tears his quads
4. In-Joke about his 'Son-in-Law'

I'm going to guess he comes out and says he will make his decision by the end of the night. Laurinitis tries to impress him all night long. At the end of the night McMahon calls him out to the ring, is about to fire him, and then Cena interrupts. The firing is forgotten. Kiss my ass won't happen in an election year for his wife. I'm almost tempted not to watch Raw again, since I don't want to ruin the good feelings I have about wrestling after being at the TNA ppv last night. TNA is just so much better than WWE right now.

Absolutely.
Deep down inside, you're just as huge a mark for Brodus as I am.
Which is a shame.

Tears, man. Tears of laughter streamed from my eyeballs. It was such a brilliant snowball of realization.

To each their own. All I know is I've been entertained by TNA lately, everyone has a storyline for the most part, the titles matter, and they treat the fans with respect. WWE does embarassing shit like Hornswoggle as JR, Cole in bbq sauce, etc, 90% of the roster doesn't have a storyline, and nothing matters. If you enjoy that more than TNA than more power to you. But WWE is garbage right now.

Pay no mind to the "lol TNA" responses. Those opinions will never be changed. To them TNA is always bad and the most horrible episode of Raw is still more entertaining because "oh mah gah look at dah pyro and dat crowd and AJ and Kane lolololol @ the brilliant comedy take what you can get Michael Cole said a funny"
HHH Bury someone? NEVER
*facepalm* at the Senator McMahon shit :|
Also, I really enjoyed Slammiversary last night.
Oh, and I'm glad HHH kept Vince in check, but it's still pathetic that they're just going to have HHH go over Bork.

Linda is probably just gonna get stomped again isn't she, why do they let her stupid hobbies influence business decisions?
This is actually very good news. Aces is a perfectly cromulent on screen character, but lousy at his "real" job. Mr. H's at least has shown some interest in going after real talent in his pursuits of Mistico and the KOW.

TNA's PPV was decent.

TNA has been really good recently but they just seem to have no idea how to end shows, which isn't the end of the world.
Also AJ seems incredibly cool and down to earth. I'm on board.

It was that bad huh? I wasn't watching but heard about it then. I thought they would be more hokey about it. Did they really air a memorial type episode?
Well I've had to stay up late to be on call for when servers go online so it doesn't affect other parts of the company, so - Newcastle-broskis representing.
Oh god, it's really been 5 years? Wow
