CM Punk Is Power
An absolutely wonderful match. Compelling. Jaw-Dropping. It did what wrestling needed. WWE gets credit for such a compelling story. Only thing that would’ve made it better was Jim Ross calling it and if it was at Wrestlemania in Chicago. Still, five-star match.
I have not seen a match like this in years…
No matter the ending, thank you CM Punk and thank you John Cena. This is what every wrestling fan has been waiting for.
Also, I’ll leap at any opportunity to shine a spotlight on Michael Cole’s idiocy. Which, by the way, was like pre-recorded last night. Lawler and Cole were at ringside but they were not calling the play-by-play action. It must have been added later on. Which almost makes Cole’s presence there more insulting and hurtful. Because it was more deliberate. There was more of an effort involved in taking Cole’s words and matching them to picture. I just don’t know how anyone can listen to him on a regular basis and not be turned off by the product. He flips back and forth so much between running down and criticizing the product, and acting super-excited about the action we’re about to see, that there’s no way to latch on to any of it. How are we supposed to believe that he actually cares about anything he’s watching?

Also on Smackdown, Cole questioned Daniel Bryan’s desire to win a match because of…well…”What’s he gonna do, go home and sit on the couch? He has no TV, he doesn’t eat meat, what’s he gonna do?” This is all true. What is there to do after winning other than eating meat and watching TV? And if one doesn’t have either of those things, what’s the point of living, much less winning?

Keep checking in, for those of you interested in verified WWE accounts…the moment I figure out what a “cue” is…I’ll post some with pictures with the background. I’m also considering doing live RAW webcam stuff (with RAW on the TV or a picture of Michael Cole). I just have a lot of time Tuesday through Thursday, not the other days of the week.
