just rewatched punk's entrance

his face is always obstructed but how the hell did i not notice colt's head?

is he visible during the match at all?

i remember punk high fiving somebody but i wasn't looking at the fan at all

colt has a few cameos!

i was hoping it would be him standing right in front of a "welcome to chicago" sign

Would that really beat the fridge belt?

Is that beer in the bottom of Punk's fridge?

I thought that about the beer myself. Not the cans (although I did think them at first) but the bottles at the very bottom in the tray thingy.

It's lager coloured and is the shape of generic lager bottles and even looks to have a cap on rather than a screwtop like most non-alcoholic drinks. Not 100% sure on what bottles look like there but it looks something like Miller or Coors Lite.

Could be wrong but I've put my body through a hell of a lot of abuse over the years and that would be my first guess as to what it is.

It's not terrible though. It could be his friends house or he could have some friends over celebrating.

In real life, Punk has never seemed to have a problem with any of his friends not being straight-edge. Maybe Beth likes to have a drink occasionally.

Oh god that was the most injuriest PPV ever. After the Mark Henry/Big Show match were they discussing the angle and how it was botched on the cart out or was that planned out as well? And oh but wait Miz wasn't really destroyed even though it looked another in a long line of big injuries.

I'm obviously not as into the storyline as everyone else because I hardly watch current wrestling, but holy crap that match had some crazy pops and heat. I wouldn't put it as high as five stars, either 4 or 4 and a half after a couple botches and several long lull moments.

That was a sweet promo video before the main match too.

Also poor Sin Cara. Why do all the cool new wrestlers I start to like die and get snapped in half?

This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

So, do you guys think miz was supposed to win? It might just be the way I'm thinking back to it and biasing it, but I think del rio was kinda upset in the interview, and was clearly supposed to say it was his destiny. I mean, he had no problem with the rumble being his stepping stone, so I don't see why his character would suddenly not care. Miz obviously wouldn't work at the end of the show with his knee though, so it got shifted to del rio

No, Miz even had his miraculous dash. If he was supposed to win, he would have done it. I think Del rio was supposed to win it from the start.

Miz is gonna turn face really soon though. That was one hell of a face pop he got.

well, we're in need of some top faces, Riley's momentum is really starting to burn out.

that's the thing haguile, miz wouldn't have worked anyway due to needing to run after punk.

--
Boring and mundane signature informing you I'm on a Droid
Now with more bold! Less italics due to bold.

If Miz was in condition for one more miracle spot trying to climb the ladder, I think he would still be able to run after Punk with some painkillers in between. I don't think he'd not win the briefcase just because of his injury. He seems like he would be able to power through it fairly well.

If it was supposed to end with Miz winning, they wouldn't have had Del Rio win via removing Rey's mask, and they likely wouldn't have had a promo prepared for him.

And Del Rio's character was upset with being in Money in the Bank the RAW before for the same reason he said at the PPV.

You could tell from the get-go that Del Rio was gonna win with how everyone ganged up on him at the start. It allowed him to stay out of a lot of the craziness everyone else was involved in so he wouldn't be as dead at the end and he could win.

I still want to see that handshake into cross armbreaker spot.

I guess I have a thing for heels saving the day without turning face. Which never ****ing happens.

Other than The Rock bit getting editted out of Punk's promo video, they editted something else (other than shortening it)

It used to say 'You're one of the biggest bullies I have ever met in my entire life and you will apologise' Then on the PPV it said 'Vince you will apologise for suspending me' instead. Wonder if the bullying people kicked up a fuss too.

Can Sunday's show live up to expectations? Of course not. It's impossible, because somewhere on the Internet, a better idea exists. That doesn't mean, however, that it can't be great on its own terms.

Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

I pose a question: What would be the worst (realistically) possible thing for WWE to do tonight on RAW regarding Punk and Cena? Alternatively (and realistically), what would be the best?

--
http://img.imgcake.com/Ainoxi/zazigifed.gif

Cena invokes his rematch clause and somehow gets Punk to show up, beats him clean.

The best realistically....I'm personally hoping for a "well s***" kinda angle with Cena and Punk and the belt actually gone for at least a bit.

--

I imagine the worst thing they could do is just vacate the title and pretend Punk doesn't exist

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

Tweets from other stars...

Steve Austin: "@CMPunk and @JohnCena had a big time pro wrestling match. I loved it. And I loved the finish. Congrats to both guys. Great stuff."

"WOW!!! What a Tremendous reception for @CMPunk! That was a 10 out of 10. Hell Yeah!"

Trish Stratus: "What's so wrong w/ leaving the company as champion, right @wweuniverse? Hehe! Great match-the 'to be continued' is what's got me #mustseetv"

Sean Waltman: "That was ****ing unbelievable. Glad I decided on a later flight in order to see that. Hats off to both guys and to WWE for doing it right. Now I can get on my flight a happy man. Thanks @CMPunk and @JohnCena . Thanks to Chicago for making that so electric. Best bldg in world."

Kevin Nash: "MITB better than any mma ppv I've watched. Punk continues to gain my respect and Jay is the ******' man,WWE at it's best"

Mick Foley: "I don't think I've ever been jealous of a wrestler's character before. Money, yes, character, no. @cmpunk has changed that. Damn. Damn!"

Howard Finkel: "I've seen just about everything possible in my 36 yrs.in this industry, but nothing like I witnessed 2nite! I love this business so much!"

Zack Ryder: "Congrats to my first ever Broski of the Week @CMPunk!"

Seth Rollins: "We're still a wrestling company and that was how professional wrestling is done."

Joey Styles: "I can't believe this. Our WWE Champion doesn't work for WWE and John Cena is or will be fired. OMG! Holy Crap!"

The photograph reflects, every streetlight a reminder; nightswimming deserves a quiet night

the worst they could do is not even vacate it and claim cena never lost and punk got DQd somehow

Best is declare Dolph is main champion of Raw, and immediately throw him up against some main eventers to see if he's worthy of the title or something

or maybe even have vince have zero faith in him, begin the show by vacating it, then holding a like 20 man battle royale for it. That'd be pretty cool (yes I stole the 20 man battle royale from some dude earlier in the topic "suck it')

gotta make Punk care enough to come back. thinking something along the lines of hiring Colt Cobana and then abusing him for a few weeks. could be HHH's last big angle, and he'd be the next logical step for Punk I think.

a wealth of possibility going forward. let's just hope we're not seeing some uneasy alliance between Cena and Punk as they take on ADR and Jack Swagger in a few weeks.

So like

Last night solidified something that has been percolating in my brain for a few months now. More and more so, I am realizing that wrestling is about the only thing left that inspires any significant amount of passion in me. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life, and the usual mantra is to go with what you love....but I don't know what career paths are open. There's pretty much less than zero chance of my ever being an actual wrestler, as even with all the training and discipline and sacrifice the best I could hope for with my body is being the vanilla-est midget-est indy jobber to ever live IF my exercise-induced asthma doesn't preclude that.

Writing....requires a lot of pedigree that I am unlikely to get, and anybody who follows FWA can tell you how little booking talent I have. Music could be a possibility, but I feel like banking on TNA or Jim Johnston keeling over is a poor career choice. I could be a ref, but I don't know how one goes about training for that. Manager or interviewer is a possibility I suppose, but those are a dying breed, and again, I have no clue how to get my foot in the door. I could start an indy fed maybe? That takes startup money I don't have, as well as a business skill I may or may not have. I could write for WWE.com maybe?

I dunno, I am hoping somebody has random insight and a lightbulb goes off over my head and angels descend from the heavens to inform me that I have found my path.
