Things I Missed Over The Weekend.

Starting to realise that work is really going to my kryptonite when it comes to blogging. Bartending six days a week is a bit of a bitch, but I'm gonna do a big chuck of updates today hopefully.

Too soon? WHO CARES! Source: wwe.com

- CM Punk returned to the WWE tonight, played out by classic CM Punk music, Cult of Personality. From the short little video I've seen, it seems like Punk got a pretty good reaction, and even got a bigger cheer when he raised the title after Cena. I really don't want to speculate where this is going to go, but Cena vs. Punk at Summerslam seems like a lock now. If not, I'm sure what ever way they go with it is going to be fantastic.

- Kevin Steen wrestled three times at PWG's eighth anniversary show, beat PAC, The Young Bucks (with his team mate CIMA) and then got rewarded with a title shot, beating Claudio Castagnoli to win the PWG World Championship! I'm very happy for Kevin, who over the past year and a half has really shown he can carry the ball for any company he works for. Plus he hit 5,000+ followers on Twitter. Pretty good couple of days for him.

- Impact Wrestling taped tonight, with Kurt Angle vs. Ken Anderson headlining the show in a cage match. These shows are really starting to get crowded, and I think it's time The Hulkster did some spring cleaning and trimmed some fat out of the company. Especially if they are bringing in more X-Division names, like Austin Aries, Kid Kash etc. If not, I'm sure that people like Chris Daniels, Samoa Joe and MCMG will continue to get swept under the rug.

- EVOLVE has it's 9th card tomorrow night, yet again at BB Kings Blues Club. The show is headlined by Chuck Taylor vs. Johnny Gargano, and also a bonus main event of Sami Callihan vs. Dave Finlay. Not to mention, Kevin Steen on a open mic. This should be an interesting one folks, and this is also an iPPV. Check it out if you can.

CM Punk, Voice of the Voiceless

Seriously? Could this be a greater angle? As most of you would have seen by now, CM Punk invaded San Diego's Comic Con, dropping in to see some of his 'former' co-workers, and their new boss, Triple H. A few back and forth zingers, a big call out to Zack Ryder later, and Punk leaves and rides off into the sunset.

At the moment, I really don't care about speculating where this is going, because jesus, the ride has only just begun guys. Would I love to see Punk interupt RAW next week? Hell yes! Do I care if he does or he doesn't? Not really.

For the first time in a long time, I'm actually back to trusting the judgement of the WWE. It's nearly been one month since the promo that changed everything, and they haven't dropped the CM Punk ball yet.

WWE Got The Memo...

So I've written nothing since Monday, due to a rather big event that happened yesterday. My 21st birthday! Honestly, I think someone at head office got the memo, and have given me my very own 3 days of birthday celebrations.

A lot of things have happened in the past 72 hours. We had the epicness that was Money In The Bank, leading into CM Punk posting some awesome Twitter photos, including this gem. Oh yeah, we had Scruffy the janitor forced to clean up the collection of the IWC sperm that was the Daniel Bryan "Money in The Bank" briefcase win. Honestly, I thought I was asleep still. I still can't believe they did it.

Skip forward after the PPV of the year, and we get to RAW. With such a buzz about this show, I was kind of certain we would be let down. What happened next, was for me, as great as Bryan & Punk escaping Money In The Bank as heroes. That's right, Triple H becoming Mr. Helmsley was the best thing that has happened in the past 72 hours. I was sitting at work, and did a spit take as I was reading the recap. I marked (whilst getting awkwardly stared at by elderly customers playing on the slot machines). I think this is a great move, and Triple H will be able to play the roll very well, especially if it's a weekly spot, trying to get things back in order.

Today, WWE gave me the best present of all. But come on, I'm not going to spoil that for any of you. Let's just say I'm sure that TH and myself need to save some big money to make it to Miami.

Mark-Out In The Bank: PUNK WINS!

Wow...

Just. Wow. That's all I can truly say right now. This is the reason I started the blog. For nights exactly like this. I was jumping up and down on the couch when Daniel Bryan grabbed the briefcase. When Christian's head games paid off, I had a smile across my face that I thought would not be replaced. And then, the second Michael Cole mentioned the Screwjob, my heart sunk. When Johnny Ace and Vince came out to no music, with time still left on the clock, I was begging them not to end it like that. When Vince called for the bell, I almost threw my phone at the television.

But no emotion could top when Punk hit the GTS. I may be turning 21 tomorrow (19th of July), but jesus, I don't think I could be happier any time this week. It was the ultimate mark-out for me since I began watching, and that covers a lot of territory.

I'll probably do a full recap sometime later, whilst all my American readers are asleep, but I really don't think I'll be able to process what the hell just happened tonight. I was taken back to a time before the Internet, before I had to pay bills and before I had any idea about anything backstage. Tonight, I was back to being that 10 year old kid, screaming his ass off on the couch.

Predictions of A Mark: Cena over Punk? Oh dear god...

This weekend is more than likely, the most anticipated pay-per-view of 2011, because of one burning question... What the fuck is Punk gonna do? Win and leave? Win and re-sign? Win and the lose to the RAW Money In The Bank contract winner? Lose clean? Honestly, I think we all know that CM Punk is going to this as the number one good guy in the company. Cena, possibly going in as one of the more hated. But more on the main event later. I think as the new kid on the block, I need to throw my two cents in on the first non-Mania pay-per-view I've bought since 2006.

Big Show vs. Mark Henry

Who I want to win: Mark Henry

Somebody gonna get their wig split. Honestly, I can see no real logical reason behind making Big Show look tremendously weak compared to Mizark, other than they are really preparing "The World's Strongest Man" for the big run that has been put in front of him, but never truly run with. I think it's time they pull the trigger on Henry, and a dominating win, leading into a Summerslam program with Randall Keith, is starting to look like the best way to go.

Kelly Kelly (c) vs. Brie Bella, Divas Championship

Who I want to win: Kelly Kelly

Only in WWE, can a bleach blond ex-cheerleader with the "model" figure & the pearl white smile, be the victim of bullying. Nowhere else would that work. I'd rather KK keep the belt here, because she's kind of the divas version of John Cena.

Smackdown! Money In The Bank

Who I want to win: Cody Rhodes

In honest opinion, this is the match with the most potential when it comes to Money In The Bank matches. The two things I want to see out of this match are as follows... 1) Daniel Bryan hitting his hesitation missile dropkick of the top of a ladder. 2) Heath Slater taking the High Cross off the top of a ladder. I will be more than happy with my $25 purchase if either thing happens. I really thinks Rhodes deserves to win this, refresh his character again, maybe give him another layer onto the "Dashing" character, and take a run at the title. Plus, Rhodes vs. Orton does really appeal to me.

RAW Money In The Bank

Who I want to win: Kofi Kingston

I really want Kingston to win this. I want Kingston to pull of some kind of amazing stunt, knock Alberto Del Rio off the top of the ladder, and grab that briefcase. You move Evan Bourne onto Dolph Ziggler after making him look like a million bucks by letting him leap off of everything and crash into everyone. Riley takes out Miz in some type of spectacular move, stretching their feud out until SummerSlam. R-Truth, Swagger and Rey fill out the rest of the match, and you get the lesser of the two Money In The Bank matches filled out quite nicely.

Randy Orton (c) vs. Christian, World Heavyweight Championship Match

Who I want to win: Randy Orton

Sorry Razor (Okay, I doubt Razor reads this... if you're reading this Razor, please address all abuse towards the comment section), but it's time that Randy ends this. Some type of awesome, out-of-nowhere variation of the RKO, after a pretty solid match, would be the perfect end to this program. A clean end, to stop Christian's complaints. Move Randy onto the next feud (hopefully with Mark Henry) and put Christian into a feud with Daniel Bryan after he's done with Cody Rhodes (Come on TH, imagine that feud.)

John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk, WWE Championship

Who I want to win: John Cena

Wow, am I digging my own grave? Orton into Cena for championship retention...

The only way this could work is doing a double-turn. CM Punk, waiting to pounce for the GTS after having his hometown crowd behind him the whole night, goes to hoist Cena up onto his shoulders, Cena will slip out the front, look Punk square in the eyes... and punt for goal. I want to Cena to punt CM Punk so hard below the belt, that for the next three weeks he becomes CP Munk. The Chicago crowd will be whipped into a frenzy, Cena will celebrate like he's just won the World Series, and CM Punk then truly has his Austin 3:16 moment. He is turned into the guy who is the anti-establishment bad ass, who could only be beaten when the good old kiss-ass of the company couldn't do it fair.

Hey, but what do I know, I'm just a mark. I'm sure we'll all be shocked and marking out come the main event this Sunday (Monday technically for me.)
