Cena And The Rock, Face off against Miz and R Truth before Survivor Series

Ok The Rock got fuckin ginormous.  Hardly seems fair for The Awesome Truth, both Cena and Rock are bigger than houses.  I personally am very excited for this match.

Mason Ryan Getting A lot Of Backstage Criticism

A lot of you viewers may have noticed that the WWE is really getting behind rookie, Mason Ryan.  While it may seem like the whole creative team is behind Ryan, he is apparently getting a lot of heat from superstars and staff alike.  They believe that his ring skills are not up to par yet and that the only reason he is getting this push is due to his abnormally large physique.  A lot of people have even speculated that he is taking steroids or some other growth hormone and the WWE is intentionally turning a blind eye towards it.

While I can only add Ryan's steroid use to speculation, I happen to agree that his ring work is not up to par yet.  I have seen him in action a lot recently and all of his matches have been really sloppy or unimpressive.  He obviously has a lot more to learn.

Rock and Cena To Team Up Against Miz and Truth At Survivor Series

I am actually legitimately looking forward to this match.  I think that giving the fans a taste of The Rock and Cena together before Wrestlemania is a good idea.  Fans were already outraged when they said that The Rock Vs. Cena match would have to wait till April so this is a good way to appease them without giving away the main event too early.  Miz and R Truth are both great in ring competitors but I am really stoked to see all these new comers interact with the Rock since they never before have squared off against him.  This is also the Rock's first match in what seems like a decade.  I am flying out to New York just to see this and am very excited.

Triple H Relieved Of His Duties

Vince returned on last week's Raw to do what his son in law did a few weeks ago and relieved him of his duties.  Triple H was replaced by John Laurenitis and seems to have returned to the active roster!  I like seeing Triple H give another good run in the ring and I hope that he doesn't decide to hang up the boots too soon.

Alberto Del Rio Is Champion, But Could It Be Too Soon?

So Alberto Del Rio has achieved his "destiny" and is now the current WWE champion, but was the push given too soon?  Del Rio is certainly one of the best workers in the ring today and he is well known to be quickly adapting to the politics in the WWE faster than any of the new blood on the roster, but I think his character could be given a little more polishing before he was finally given the belt.  Del Rio hasn't even been on the roster for a year and I think giving him the belt already could be detrimental to his career as we have seen with the likes of Sheamus and Jack Swagger.  Both those characters were given the belt too early and their careers have been put on the back burner.  I like Alberto Del Rio's work and I believe he could be great but I just hope his career is being planned correctly.

CM Punk Vs. Triple H: Put Together Too Fast?

While I am extremely excited to see HHH and Punk go at it at Night of Champions, I worry that the buildup for such a great match was not as good as it should have been.  Both Punk and Triple H are excellent ring workers, which means that the match will probably be very good, but I don't think that the buildup and events leading to the match were written as well as they could have been.  For a while the angle was supposed to be Kevin Nash vs. Punk but that ended up not happening for whatever reason and HHH was thrown in last minute.  I don't know if this was done intentionally or something came up that required a last minute change, but I just feel that such an epic encounter doesn't seem like it is as big enough of a deal that it should be.

CM Punk Returns, WWE Has Two WWE Champions.

Let me just start off by saying that I applaud the WWE with the newest storylines and direction they are taking with their "real life" angles.  Wrestling hasnt been this interesting to me in a while and each week it just gets better and better.

Vince Is Relieved Of His Duties, Triple H Is Now In Charge

Does this mean we no longer are going to see Triple H in the ring?  Its an interesting new angle the WWE have given us and I am actually looking forward to see where this goes.  Only Vince would get fired in a pink suit.

CM Punk Wins WWE Title! Leaves WWE With The Belt! Cena Fired!

CM Punk defeated John Cena last night to win the WWE championship on his last night with the company.  After winning Vince tried to have Alberto Del Rio cash in his MIB title match but Del Rio was instantly stopped by Punk.  Afterwards Rio jumped the guard rail and escaped into the city of his hometown, Chicago, where he was seen partying (soberly of course) all night with the belt and the citizens of Chicago.
  I dont know what this means for John Cena and the future of the WWE title or Punk for that matter.  I can not wait to watch Raw tonight and find out!

Alberto Del Rio Wins Raw Money In The Bank

After winning the second ladder match last night, Alberto Del Rio has a guaranteed WWE Heavyweight title match whenever and wherever he wants for the next 12 months.

Without Punk, What's Next For The Nexus?

As we all know, Nexus Leader, CM Punk is close to finishing his tenure with the WWE and will most likely leave the company in two weeks.  While that is another story altogether, this post focuses on the rest of the Nexus members.  When their fearless leader leaves what will become of the up and coming superstars of the Nexus?  While each of the members have shown strengths in the squared circle on their own, none of them have made a huge impact on the WWE universe yet.  I sincerely hope that Punk's underlings aren't left out to dry when Punk leaves the WWE.

CM Punk: Possibly The Best Of This Generation...

Now, let me just state that I have always been a fan of CM Punk and his work inside and outside of the ring.  His matches are always exciting and his promo's are close to untouchable by other superstars.  In light of the recent rant he went on on the most recent Raw, I have developed a new sense of respect for Punk.  While we don't know a whole lot of what went on behind the scenes during this rant, we do know that no one other than Punk knew what was going to be said and even though his method of conveying his issues are controversial, Punk had a lot of points that I happen to agree with.  In my opinion, CM Punk is one of the top ring performers today on both the Smackdown and Raw rosters.  I love every match that he puts on and his promos are always extremely entertaining.  With his most recent promo, Punk brought us back to the days of the "attitude" era and gave us a sense of realism when there has been close to no realism as of late.  I have always felt that Punk was one of the most underrated superstars in the WWE and I agree that his talents have not been properly recognized.  CM Punk deserves to be in one of the main events at next year's wrestlemania, but instead The Rock will headline next year's 'Mania and probably will not wrestle a single match before that.  Regardless of the outcome of the next few weeks, I applaud Punk for taking a chance and voicing his opinion and I also believe that  this will do more good than bad in the future of Punk's career.

CM Punk Suspended Due To Rant On Raw

Due to the unscripted promo CM Punk delivered on the most recent Raw, WWE officials have suspended Punk from all television appearances for three weeks, which happens to be when his contract expires.  He will fulfill his house show obligations but will no longer be appearing on WWE television.  I'm not surprised this action was taken but I believe that Punk had a lot of truth to his promo.  He is probably one of the best in the locker room today and he has not been recognized in a way he deserves.  We will see where the Straight Edge Superstar does next...

CM Punk's Promo On Raw: A Thing Of Beauty

Despite the end results of what may have happened to him after Raw, CM Punk may have delivered possibly the best on air promo in the past few years in the history of the business.  CM Punk brought us back to the Attitude era with a sense of realism that has been missing from the WWE for a long time.  Regardless if it was scripted or not (which I don't think it was) Punk has been receiving tons of praise from both fans and peers alike.  It's a shame his mic was cut as I'm sure he had much more to say.

CM Punk To Leave WWE In July?

There have been many reports recently that CM Punk's contract with the WWE expires in July and he has yet to resign with the company.  As of last night's Raw, the WWE has started an angle where Punk publicly acknowledges that his contract does indeed expire in July and that he will win the title before he finishes and take the title with him.  Either Punk is indeed leaving or he has resigned with WWE and using these rumors to develop a new storyline with Punk.  Punk has always been one that connects well with the WWE universe in terms of online stories or social media.  This could be a great play on internet rumors.

Alex Riley Already Shining As A Babyface

This certainly surprised me to say the least.  Ever since Miz turned on his former apprentice, Alex Riley has really gotten over with the fans!  I figured he'd do at least ok with the fans when the inevitable breakup was going to happen, but the fans have been REALLY getting into the newcomer!  It take's a great heel to create a good babyface so credit must also go to The Miz as well.  Can't wait to see how WWE takes this new energy created by Riley's fan's

Kharma Out For Year, Reveals She Is Pregnant

Well the reason was revealed as to why Kharma already is taking time off from WWE television.  Apparently she is legitimately pregnant and has to take at least a year off as per doctor's orders.  It's a shame that all this buildup for her arrival in the WWE was for nothing.  Hopefully she has the same impact when she returns.

Who's "Genius" Idea Was This?

Miz Fires Riley, Riley Has Had Enough...

After weeks of pent up frustration, The Miz has fired his long time assistant, Alex Riley, and continued to belittle him in the middle of the ring.  After being "let go" by his former boss, Alex Riley finally had enough and attacked The Miz.  I am very interested to see where this angle goes.  Riley has a lot of talent and I am very interested to see what the WWE decides to do with him now that he is free from the Miz's shadow.
