June Wrasslin |OT| When you lose, you're a jobber, when you win, you're Cena.

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 Heat Killers Bellas. You know, after she's done giving birth and all that.

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.

I thought it would be fitting to have a real June OP. It's a year old but who cares.

it is amazing how similar wressle gaf is to gaming side. Complain about everything until they give you that somthing... that new generation Pikmin maybe but only to soon turn on it and say its not as good as it should be and that the product was so much better back in the day even when the good bad ratio is pretty much the same.

The WWE hasn't given me what I want.
 
Vince McMahon is gonna announce live on Raw that he joined twitter and he's going to post his first tweet live on air. Afterall, if some phoney UFC guy can do it he can too.

Gaming side... so that's where the big boys play, huh? Look at the adjective: play. We ain't here to play.
 
Punk's strength is his mic work, but he is floundering in this face run, primarily because he isn't being given much to work with and they seem to try to put him into the cookie cutter Cena role. You have 2 of the best in the world and they weren't even getting promo time to hype their match between each other and now it's a 3 way way with Kane added. The entire focus is on AJ. Instead they have Punk talking about how Cena is going to kick Laurinitis's ass and then hyping a videogame that doesn't come out for 6 months.

He's making Randy Orton money now, he doesn't have to do all the bs you've listed anymore.

The trouble is his anti authority persona gimmick doesn't hold up. Regardless of anything else, his character is inconsistent.

This comparison I don't even

WWE hasn't given us Pikmin 3.

WWE hasn't even given us Just Dance or cinematic cover shooter #457.

WWE gives us E.T. Atari 2600 every week.
 
Flavor of the week to Vince McMahon. Women turn off the tv in droves when he's on screen. Orton brings that female demographic. Only other guy above Orton is Cena.

So what you're saying is that if WWE gave Punk and Bryan more mic time during this feud that more women would tune in?
 
So you're saying that Punk hasn't taken Orton's spot yet?

He's never going to take Orton's spot or mainstream appeal. The only thing that has hurt Randy is he agreed to be moved to Smackdown last year. Worst decision the guy has made. Anyone on that show is looked at as below the top Raw guys.
