That initial "boo" was the loudest initial negative reaction I've heard. Incredible.

Sin Cara has to come back, theyre coming down here to Mexico City for a RAW/SD taping in Oct, ADR/RMJ are on RAW but I have to believe he would be part of the SD show

Having said that, something weird happened tonight. I live with work colleagues (work for a charity, we have to live together) and me and a buddy were watching the PPV tonight in the living room. Hungarian girl who works/lives with us asks why we're not watching something that everyone wants to watch rather than just us - we reply that no-one was using the screen anyway and go ahead watching the PPV.

Our boss, a girl from Romania, had never watched wrestling before but she was there for the first match and didn't seem to mind it (was impressed by the athleticism, thought some of the guys were hot, whatever, etc), but after like 20mins of sitting there the other girl goes "Guys, you are stupid, this is totally stupid. I believe that a person can just have their health and be happy, and..." and then pretty much storms out and doesn't come back down.

Can anyone offer any insight into how someone might be so offended by wrestling?!? I was totally stumped. It's obvious she's a little judgemental and humourless but I was honestly just sitting there for like 10 minutes afterwards trying to work out how someone could react so negatively. WWE airs on TV in Hungary so it's not like it's culturally incompatible or something. :S
Not sure really, but maybe something to do with the violence aspect? I dunno, seems pretty dumb, but it wouldn't be the first time a chick is offended by wrestling.

The other good one is "you know it's fake right?". It's like they can accept most other TV shows are scripted and go on about Gossip Girl or some other horrible show and that's alright, but when it comes to wrestling it is stupid because "it's fake". Zero logic, but I hear it all the time.

Goes the way of the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship imo.

Yeah. Rock was still leader of the Nation of Domination when he just sort of transitioned into a face turn when he started getting over huge. The NOD was just phased out.

Had to look up 2006 One Night Stand on youtube for Cena/RVD. Watching now (gotta do something till Raw); I think we definitely need to appreciate Cena's ability to draw absolutely sick levels of crowd heat when he needs to like this match and last night's. Would be amazing to see what he could draw as a genuine, full-fledged heel.

Bill Simmons confirmed that CM Punk will be on his ever popular B.S. Report. I'll assume it will be sometime this week.

That could be an amazing podcast and some mainstream love for CM Punk.

Anybody think we may see some cross promotion stuff with ROH, similar to what the WWE did with ECW in the late 90's? ROH really isn't a significant competitor, and the story possibilities would definitely be amazing.

CM Punk:Have Vince come out tonight and point out he had a brilliant plan B for last night's ME:A stip on the contract saying the winner last night is given an automatic binding contract for 3 months. CM Punk then defends the title every week and PPV. Can anyone take the belt before the time is up? Throw anyone and everyone at him. Have a match where he has to face Colt and Colt gets a contract if he wins, and Punk crushes him cause he only wants the belt. Even pull out legends who can't stand the thought of CM dissing the WWE. (Booker/Nash/HBK one time/HHH/Jericho) Maybe culminate it with Bryan somehow swapping cases with ADR and facing Punk.
