THE MAN! THE MASTER! AND THE RULER... OF THE WORLD!

My first reaction was "oh, shit!"

Then, I felt bad that THAT was the first exclamation I came up with, given who it was.

Yes. And once, he used it A LOT in a short period of time. Around that time there seemed to be an influx of guys adding submissions to their moveset (such as Brock with the "Brock Lock" and 'Taker using that modified Dragon Sleeper that I think was called "TCB", etc.) He also used a step-over legdrop around then ("Hog Log", I think?)

Show was pretty damn fun in person. Was just ok on tv, a lot of the stuff didn't come off near as loud on tv as it did in the arena.

I think this is funny, my 4 year old nephew loves AJ:

We got Layla, AJ, and Vickie in bathing suits and bikinis as the last 3 in a battle royal. This is as close as we're going to get.

Vickie looks better than I would have thought dressed like that and not cheating her ass with those big, clunky heels she always wears. Also, AJ has put on some weight (in a good way). She's gotten some thickness to her as opposed to being closer to coke-whore thin as when she first appeared.

I thought Natty looked HOT

The diva battle royal was too short to be believable, it was actually pretty retarded!

oh yeah, AJ being in a bikini in that battle royal surprised me. But I would drink her bathwater so I am not complaining

So does this mean no more Kane-masked AJ?

Sid.
 

made my fucking night.

going to watch this now......PLEASE tell me he showed up with that hair

Unfortunately not. Was also disappointed he didn't climb the second rope as well.

His shins are still ridiculously skinny.

I know, it's so damn awesome.

Still... Punk losing again... that was kinda... dumb.

I hope Chris Masters returns for the 1,000th episode.

I hope Owen Hart returns for the 1,000th episode!

I still can't get into having the WWE Champion wrestle anywhere except the main event.

But of course, that's just me. Maybe I'm just resisting change.

Kinda goofy as long as there are two primary champions and Cena.

Calling in now whoever wins the Former WWE Champion RAW Money In the Bank winner just ends up jobbing to the current holder even if it is John Cena himself just so he can make history once again somehow.

I'm hoping for Big Show overcoming Cena's attempts to stop him and winning the Raw Money in the Bank.

Then he announces that he's a monster and the most dominant guy in the company right now and thus doesn't need to sneak up on Punk to win the title. He'd rather enjoy tearing him apart from scratch. So he tells him now that he's cashing in at SummerSlam. Throughout the weeks leading up to the match, Show constantly comes out after Punk matches to tease cashing it in early and torment him with the thought that with one WMD, that long title reign he's enjoyed can end any time Show wishes.

Finally SummerSlam comes along and Punk takes Show to this amazing dramatic match that we know he can and in the end, after failed GTS attempts, Punk makes Show tap out after like 2 minutes in the Anaconda Vice.

And THAT'S how you make Punk seem like a legit World Champion.

If #1-wwf-fan's dream comes true, can someone tell me how "legit" Punk became? Because it's not a match I want to watch.

That scenario would work if it was say, Lesnar or Triple H. But Big Show can go from beating Cena one week to losing to Yoshi Tatsu the next. Beating Show isn't a big deal.

He beat an actual solidified main eventer in a match that could actually make a claim to being THE main event on the card. A guy that just feuded with "Mr. WWE" John Cena and after 2 straight main events against him can still make the claim that Cena was unable to stop him as he ran roughshod over the company. And in the end, Punk makes him tap out.

Do I wish Show had been booked better for a while before this? Yes. Working with what we've got now though, Show currently has a legit claim that Cena couldn't really get the job done on his own at NWO and even then he won only by escaping the cage first. Then, Cena not only fails to get the job done again at MITB but Show beats him and two other guys to win the match.

And after Cena just can't get the job done, Punk is finally the one who not only beats Show but makes him tap out. I'd say that puts the champion who can't get in a match that gets the main event spot over Cena to save his life in a legit spot to where he can stake a claim to start headlining PPVs.

Well, Cena isn't really known for tapping out, so Punk tapping Cena may be the thing to make him more legit.

That would make Punk more legit. It would also make Cena look quite bitch-like though. Not good.

This way you can kinda drop the hint of Punk being better by doing something Cena couldn't do no matter how hard he tried and you don't have to give the crowd ammo to boo Cena more because his character looks weaker. I like the path they're on right now. The crowd has been slowly getting less anti-Cena. They need to keep working with that.

Just wondering, based on them mentioning how long Santino's held the belt, when we'll see the return of the Honk-a-Meter.

EDIT: <s>Greedo</s>Jericho shot first.

It wouldn't make sense with the US Title. He could however create the... *checks Wikipedia to find the longest reigning US Champion of all time*... the Luger-meter.

That reminds me, did anyone else notice that Cole said Santino had held the belt since January? He actually won it in March. I wasn't sure if Cole was just being an idiot or if they really are just saying "Fuck it. No one will notice." and trying to make his reign sound longer than it has been.

Whoops - got my mid-card belts mixed up. Sorry bout that. Altzheimer's kicking in...

SID!

Just had the chance to watch RAW.

I was totally impressed by Sid. I would not mind him coming back for a small run at all. Somehow, age has made him look like even more of a badass.

In that one squash match, he looked more threatening, menacing, and badass than Ryback has in his many months.

Seemed like he could still move too.

If he won then there would be no reason for Punk Bryan at MITB although I hope they have a stip for that match, like a submission match or something.

He doesn't need to win, but he doesn't need to be the one pinned all the time either. This only kills his Best Wrestler in the World reputation.
