I actually watched a little when I was on my vacation as it's one of the few watchable things late night in Taiwan. Some of the women in the WWE are smoking now. They were all fugly when I was a kid. The story kind of sucks now but I thought that Miz was a pretty good character. Of course he'll be interesting for 3 or 4 months and then they'll destroy the character.
Actually Miz has been interesting for a long time now. He's a great heel. I don't watch regularly, but I watch. It's amusing to see the storylines, but I get bored with the matches. There is only so much you can see before it's all the same moves over and over. As for it being gay, whatever. I'll take wrestling over any "reality" show on tv. At least Vince McMahon admits it's all faked.
+1 for Alio... I used to really like Miz but I'm pretty sick of him now. Del Rio, Sheamus, Punk, Alex Riley, Christian..lot of good performers out there
I'm definitely getting this one, coming out June 28. I love the old matches, the real wrasslin' I grew up watching as a kid; its got plenty of that to go with the stuff from the 80s-today. http://www.amazon.com/WWE-Greatest-Cage-Matches-Time/dp/B004RBC5RO/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp WWE: The Greatest Cage Matches of All Time Disc 1 Introduction by Josh Mathews Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship Bob Backlund vs. Pat Patterson Madison Square Garden 24th September, 1979 Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship Bob Backlund vs. Jimmy `Superfly' Snuka Madison Square Garden 19th May, 1980 Steel Cage Match Bruno Sammartino vs. Larry Zbyszko Shea Stadium 9th August, 1980 World Class Mayhem Steel Cage Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship `Nature Boy' Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich Christmas Star Wars 25th December, 1982 Steel Cage Match for the NWA World Tag Team Championship Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs. Rock `N' Roll Express Starrcade 28th November, 1985 Steel Cage Match Road Warriors vs. Michael P.S.

Theres just no point in even hoping anymore. Hulk Cena and Super Orton aren't dropping their titles any time soon and you know Vince is having an orgasm at the thought of making CM Punk look like shit in front of his hometown next month.
Where is CM Punk gonna go? Back to ROH? TNA would waste him even more, look at what they did with Samoa Joe and AJ Styles. I agree however, Vince and the creative team suck major dicks.
Why is Punk out? I haven't watched in a couple of weeks. It really seems like the Attitude era was the absolute peak of wrestling, and it's never going to be replicated again.
Apperently his deal is up in July and he posted on like livejournal the same thing he did before he left ROH.
Until it happens, and all trace of Punk is erased from WWE, I'm not buying him being gone. I think there's a contract in place, and they're using the stories about the contract on the net the past few months as an angle. Build the next ppv as "Punks last match" in his home town for the WWE title. Its about selling tickets and buy rates, both of which are in the toilet lately. But if its really his last match, do you really think he couldn't beat the shit out of Cena enough to keep his shoulders down for 3 seconds if he wanted to? Screw job, anybody?
Punk would probably be happier back in RoH. Why bother sticking around in WWE? He knows hes the best they have yet they still treat him like hes a jobber.
I always thought it was just because I was young, but it really was much better. He's the best in the WWE imo so regardless of him a basic lock to lose, I'm still going to stream it and MAYBE buy it..but probably not lol. It's not an angle. Christian or I would have found this out by now. It's not like he hasn't been a main eventer a million times...
^ It honestly wouldn't shock me if it was a storyline. Theres so many possible outcomes but its more then likely Punk gets squashed by John Cena. I would love it if Punk ends up getting the victory and going back to being the straight edge savior only this time actually looking like a strong heel, not one that loses EVERY FUCKING WEEK.
Usually things get leaked though and all I have heard is that he's legitimately leaving. Also, I'm glad that he's been winning clean as of late. That's AWESOME.
Ok I missed RAW but will someone please tell me what happened with Punk? Everyone is saying the shoot promo he did is just beyond incredible. It seems to be a story as well, as soon as Raw went off the air Michael Cole announced that Punk had been suspended indefinetly.
There's no doubt in my mind that was a scripted shoot, but regardless of whether it was or not, that was AMAZING and done to perfection by Punk (totally believable).
