L L, it could be worse. Replace CM Punk, who is well meaning half the time, with... say... Teddy Hart?

As far as the situation... Stupid. Let me enumerate.

1. If Tommy said it was ok and didn't tell other people about it, it's his fault, plain and simple.

2. Johnny Ace is scum of the earth. He got to where he is for two reasons: Being the brother of a Road Warrior and being really close to Giant Baba's wife in All Japan. He and fellow Dynamic Dude Shane Douglas both make me sick, but in completely different ways. At least Shane was talented, he was just an idiot.

3. Stealing popular moves from Japan? Let me guess, there's heat on Gregory Helms for the same reason, right? (Shining Wizard, anyone?) Or do they mean the running Enziguri that Tenzan uses (and Jericho also used)? The reality is: it's all about the Pepsi Plunge. Hell if he modified it just a smidge, it'd be a different move altogether. Let me guess, he should use the Overdrive, right? Then again, he could use the Anaconda Vice for a finish.

3. Arn could have been bigger if he wanted to. He was in the position politically, he just never used the clout he had. A shame really.

4. Hayes, well, if anyone got screwed over by Flair more than Foley, it was Hayes. Maybe the problems with Hayes and Arn have more to do with Lifestyle related (Aren't both Alcoholics?) and the ringwork is more nit-pickery than anything else. I'm not trying to Swiftboat or anything like that, it's a simple observation.

5. Shawn and HHH? heh, it looks like they've gone beyond cutting the legs out from under talent while they are starting on their televised rise (Candido, Douglas, Owen, Test, Jericho, RVD, Booker) and are starting to cut the legs out from under talent PRE-EMPTIVELY.

6. Is Punk an ass? Yeah, sure. But he's also perhaps the best wrestler they have in their developmental program. I was looking at the Punk/Albright promos, and it was painfully obvious that Albright was playing Malenko to Punk's Jericho.

7. His relationship with Maria is negative? Yeah, god forbid he should get involved with someone who is in the business. It can only be bad for his career. Right Shawn? Right Hunter?

In essence, like I said: Stupid.
