Lol, good luck trying to sell a PPV of Undertaker v Batista given the fail their last feud was.
Smackdown has three heels capable of challenging for any belt. One is Jericho who is off in tag land, another is Ziggler who is green and the last is Punk.
When you have a crowd who is clearly divided between supporting UT and supporting Punk as they were last night its laughable that he will face anything remotely resembling the MVP run.
Congrats WWE, you made a pathetic WHC match because the dude, who happens to be the hottest property in the company right now, dressed like he always has. You took one of the few matches that could have challenged Taker/HBK for match of the year and turned it into a punishment session, lol, i bet the shareholders love that.
I mean when it comes down to it they just dont have enough main event stars to get into a dick waiving contest. I mean its not like the dude will struggle to work if he decides he is sick of the BS.
Second City Saints reunion in TNA ftw?
Seriously though, its not going to take long for them to realise they need Punk more than Punk needs them.

Anyway, other than that i enjoyed HIAC, what i didnt skip through. The Orton/Cena match was the best of the night by far (id have NEVER guessed that), the triple threat for the US was fun and solid, same goes for the IC title. The DX/Legacy main event was predictable but meh, wasnt bad.
The crowd was hilarious though. The "Cena sucks" and "we want blood" chants were especially funny, plus the RKO and Punk love was not what they were expecting im sure.
Anyway, other than the lowlight of the Taker/Punk match (more for expectation than anything, was pretty one sided but i wouldnt call it a squash) the absolute low light was seeing Mickie James almost kill Alicia with her leaping DDT - that will be the last time we see that move im sure, and it wasnt a match for the ages to raise the reputation of the womens division either.
Skipped the R-Truth and the tag title matches. I just cant watch Batista and Big Slow try and work a match even with the always excellent Jericho and Rey (who should have never been on the PPV).
On that note, Punk says something about how he dresses and so he ends up in the doghouse, but Rey fails the wellness policy then goes and does an unsanctioned interview slamming the company and he gets to come back to a title match at a PPV. Really? Again, that right there sums the company up.
Anyway, im sure we will know more at tonights Raw but jesus they need to move away from Cena v Orton. It grew old 2 PPVs ago and they finally got a great match to end it on. I have no clue who they need to elevate but they need to find someone else to challenge Orton (HBK i guess is next in line and a nice change).
