'i'm sure Stephanie has my number'

CM Punk

[Gingawaria]

Definitely.

The thing was staged clearly for a future angle, from security allowing Punk to get in despite the long line of fans, the open mic and the WWE cameras.

I'm not even convinced he's 'gone'. I reckon he'll probably take a few months off but has probably already agreed a new contract. He's doing an awful lot of promoting the company by carrying that belt around everywhere.

OF COURSE he isn't gone. The whole thing is the most obvious work ever. I can't believe anyone would think otherwise even for a minute.

Its a good storyline though. A bit like something Heyman would have come up with;

I ended up drinking with a few wrestlers at the Sports Bar in Birmingham a few years back.

Don't ask me names (I went to the event with a few mates who are WWE fans, I haven't seen much since 2000 maybe). Good times, good laugh - I think two of them were Highlanders or something, Farque (sp) and a few others who's names have really escaped me.

Anyhoo, can't mock wrestling. It's just a soap opera, but with better actors. And the live show I went to see was really quite entertaining.

It has CM Punk's fingerprints all over it. Did you watch his Summer of Punk run in 2005?

Raw was fantastic last night...quality matches and the ending was insane.

Love the new music...
I thought Summerslam was due to be Cena v Del Rio?

[Jayesh87]

Rocky set for Survivor Series too :-)

[MrShawnMichaels]

Raw was good and helped put the blocks in for Summerslam, still no matches announced despite it being three weeks away. Rey was unbelievable in both matches and it was a brilliant example as to why not a lot like John Cena in the ring, incredibly robotic and stone like in movement.

Summerslam was meant to be Del Rio v Cena, unsurprisingly that idea got panned. Punk v Cena will be the main and don't be surprised if Cena wins.

WWE have hired soap opera writers, so it will be little surprise we start to see more endings like we have done over the past couple of weeks. Speaking of WWE Creative, they've just hired another writer with no experience of the business but has an authoritative position above Michael Hayes and Brian Gerwitz and is answerable to Stephanie.

Chris Hero and Claudio Castognoli are expected to bypass developmental and straight to TV. Good news.

[Jayesh87]

Anyone else think they bought Punk back too quickly?
No more Nexus i take it?

[Imy]

They are the Kings of Wrestling (ring of honour)

Bryan Danielson is talking berries

RAW had a great opening segment between CM Punk and HHH...
CM Punk v Cena at Summerslam to decide the 'true' champion was obvious (not sure why they try to work the whole one of them may get 'stripped' of the title angle) and they should have just announced it at the start.
I see they are potentially working the CM Punk & Vinnie O'Mac v HHH & Cena angle at the end.

The end was just rubbish.
