So, Punk is Twittering pics of his belt in the fridge, and hanging out with Colt Cabana.

And, as if he's a trusted news-source, X-Pac confirmed that Vince has indeed stepped down and HHH is in charge.

Cause, the co-star of 1 Night In Chyna is now a news-source.

I hope Punk turns up somewhere soon.

Lots of great stuff going on in WWE these days... really hope they keep moving in a positive direction building more and more new talent. Great to see the recent successes of C.M. Punk (you know this whole thing had to be planned yet they way they played it really got fans going and wondering - hope this leads to seeing more of Colt Cabana who was an awesome talent WWE let get away, be cool maybe if they've got something worked out with ROH or Japan and Punk does show up their with the WWE Championship, the one with the lineage stretching back to Bruno, Bob Backlund, Hogan, Savage, Graham and Rogers), Daniel Bryan (winning MITB), Alberto Del Rio (also winning MITB), Christian regaining the World Heavyweight Championship...lots of intriguing possibilities happening. It's been a long time since guys fan actually like started getting pushed this way...

Punk in New Japan is a possibility. Yuke's owns 55% of New Japan. Yuke's also works with THQ on the WWE series of video games. There's talk of ROH possibly being in a partnership with WWE, a pseudo farm league, so to speak.

I wouldn't exactly just call it a farm league.  It's been the top and most popular indy promotion for the last eight to nine years.


I'm not surprised WWE is going this direction.  Their stock is way way down literally.  Their PPV buyrates are atrocious.  They need to do something to get back their core demographic which is leaving in droves.  The 18 to 45 male.

Yeah.  I am a huge fan of ROH.  Going back to the days of them having a tv show on here in Philly waaaaayyyy back in '03 or so.  Back when they had Christopher Daniels, Bryan Danielson, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and CM Punk all in one building, along the likes of Mikey Whipwreck and Jerry Lynn.

When I say a 'pseudo farm league', I meant that only in a passing remark.  Kinda like how ECW was a farm league of sorts.  An independently run promotion, where WWE would essentially loan them money and talent in exchange for a gimmick and such.  I don't think it's happened yet, but I could see it happening.  Primarily due to HHH having more say.  Stephanie wants to do some entertainment style stuff, and HHH knows 'wrestling.'  Merging the two should work out.

They kind of rushed his return after I believe ratings dropped without him last week... it would have been neat if he had actually shown up in Japan with the title but anyways, I don't think he's ever been more over than he is right now.

Yeah.  I feel it's a bit rushed as well.

He is insanely popular right now.  I think they felt, in a way, they had to rush it.  Cena's getting more boo's everyday.  Cena/Mysterio could've sold SummerSlam, but with Punk getting the biggest reactions of his career, they probably want to capitalize as soon as possible.  I'm hoping they're in it for the long-term, barring any injuries to Punk or Cena.

Roughly, yes.  Unless they manage to screw it up.  It is the "PG" era after all.  But I think bringing in Jim Ross could help.

Undertaker Tribute.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWQjv4XOixQ

I've been a longtime fan of wrestling, going back to having wrestling toys at the age of 3 in '87.  Undertaker's been at the top of my list of all-time favorite wrestlers.  Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to see many live shows due to financial situations.  However, I did get to attend a couple back in '09.  Fortunately, one of those was a SmackDown taping that Undertaker was at, teaming with Kane against Jericho and Big Show.

Granted, the past few years he's been relatively retired with a limited schedule.  But to just see that entrance, even at a Smackdown, makes me happy.
