I do think somewhat that people ITT have unrealistic expectations. WWE just gave us the best 2 non-Mania PPV's that they have in over 5 years. If things regress to the mean then that's pretty much expected to happen. Punk might have to simmer in a ****ty angle against 52 year old Kevin Nash and be reduced to simply destroying him on the mic every week for a couple months before he becomes relevant in the title picture again.

I still feel more optimistic about the future right now than I have in quite some time.

I really honestly feel this CM Punk angle is heading somewhere amazing.

Sometimes, you just gotta keep the faith.

That is a lectern, right? I don’t know the difference between a lectern and a podium. Anyway, the Raw GM hasn’t been mentioned since Money in the Bank, but his whole set-up with the laptop and the microphones is still there every week to the immediate left of Cole. So what does that mean? If they were going to send him back to his home planet they would’ve just quietly removed it, but I think they’re keeping the airwaves quiet long enough for a really hot segment to get REALLY interrupted by that iPhone noise and piss people off SO HARD. It’s gonna be great, and Michael Cole’s “may I have your attention please” spiel will feel enraging and nostalgic at the same time.
This is just an absolutely epic idea. Just when you think the Anonymous GM is gone...HE (OR SHE) RETURNS!

Worst: OMG!

There is seriously a DVD coming out called “OMG! The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History”. “Incidents” is bad enough (The Top 50 Happenstance In WWE History!), but if they’re gonna use Internet jargon on their media from here on out they should go for the gold and do it for everything. I know I’d be at Best Buy on Tuesday morning to buy “BRB: The Chris Benoit Story”.
The piece just completely skull ****ed the shark at this point.

And finished, another awesome B&W and nothing to hate on in it at all imo.

IDK....me wants to believe that part of that was all the bashing the E took for giving Christian such a short reign.

The bit about Cena's crush on Punk was excellent.

One error on Brandon's part: Punk HAS mentioned Katie Vick. He just did it during the SES thing. But certainly they wouldn't stop him from doing it again here.

I guess the one thing to keep in perspective here is that WWE is pretty much in the process of resetting storylines, and they're going to take a while to build.

With as much screen time as he's gotten, it's easy to forget that Hunter only started as a suit personality a month ago, and they just gave Punk/Cena their blowoff match last night (which is why I don't really hate them kicking out of finishers because they won't be facing each other for a while). This is probably the beginning of storylines that will carry through potentially to WM, so I guess we have to bite the bullet and be patient.

They'll be facing others though. Their finishers have been reduced to moves that can beat jobbers but can't beat top guys. What a ****ty thing to do to the finishers of your biggest stars.

Unlike TNA, if you weren't on the show you weren't a value to the company... with WWE there is any number of things I could do, so we're just trying to find out what we want it to be and how big we want it to be.
Yes, he's certainly coming back. Not even trying to put up a smokescreen about it.

Punk needs a new finisher anyhow, he's like 3/7 on connects vs Cena alone. No way he can use it on Diesel based on his disaster vs Kane.

if he beats Nash it will be a rollup out of jackknife position a la Bret at SS95.

This, but I would so like to see him put Nash in the Anaconda Vice and make him tap like a little bitch.

Must admit, one of the things I have enjoyed about Punk/Nash so far is Punk not being afraid to just say "okay, I'm gonna kick your ass now" even though Nash is so much ridiculously bigger than him.

No way in hell can Nash move anymore. I am sure it will be more like outside interference which backfires and Punk gets the win.

the anaconda vice is wrestling's lost hold. cole thinks it's something that involves wrapping your legs around an opponent's torso (then just says "submission maneuver!" when the actual vice is put on). booker calls it a 'keylock', i don't know where he even came up with that. king gonna king. and JR calls it the 450 splash.

BTW, funniest Punk moment of late was him yelling "I'M FLYING" on his springboard clothesline against Cena last night.
