Great match, crappy finish, Del Rio beats Ziggler for the title.

Punk/Jericho up. Roof will be blown off, guaranteed.

I kinda guessed that that's where the name came from. I always felt the McGillicutty name was holding him back.

Epic match. Both Jericho & Punk are legends.

Not cool & Pissed
It was a much better PPV than it had any right to be. Hell, even the Diva's match was the best one I've seen in years. The only match that kinda bored me was Ambrose/Kane. Ambrose was game, but Kane just didn't seem all there last night.

The crowd was rabid for Punk. He could have shanked the Pope last night and violated his bloody corpse and they still would have cheered. They did start to plant the seeds for a possible turn against Heyman though.

Top to bottom, it was the best non Mania/Royal Rumble PPV I've seen in quite some time. I NEVER order PPV's other than the 2 mentioned, but I couldn't pass up Punk returning in Chicago. Chris Jericho is also a god. Couldn't have had a better opponent for this scenario. Classic "old school" rasslin' match for about 40 minutes. Just awesome.Deranged Hermit said:
Some random thoughts:
-Ambrose is a stud & The Shield gimmick is quickly winning me over.
-Daniel Bryan needs to be pushed big time.
-Ziggler could be this generation's 'Ric Flair'. He's got it all.
-LOVED the Goldberg chants at Ryback
My rasslin "insider" was over for the PPV as well. Don't quote me, but Sting is on his way to WWE and at Wrestlemania 30 will face.....The Undertaker.

15 years ago that might have been epic. Undertaker still can put on a show but not sure about an aged Sting.Top to bottom, it was the best non Mania/Royal Rumble PPV I've seen in quite some time.

Which one is Ambrose? The big one or the one with the two tone hair?

None of the above. Big guy=Raines, Two-tone=Rollins, other guy is Ambrose.15 years ago that might have been epic.

Flair might be the GOAT when you look at in-ring and out of ring ability. Ziggler would have to keep it up for two or three more generations to even been mentioned in the same sentence with Flair.Top to bottom, it was the best non Mania/Royal Rumble PPV I've seen in quite some time.

With the increased exposure, number of title changes, etc. I dont think we'll ever see anything like the Nature Boy again. Our flavor of the month society wont allow for anyone to be that popular (or well hated) for long periods of time.

Good point. These days a guy can win the title 5 or 6 times in a 2 year span. Makes Flair's 16 time (?) champion seem watered down using today's standard.

that's why they stopped counting. It got ridiculous and makes the title seem cheap when they say how many times guys have won the title...

Sad story on the Iron Shiek. We see the NFL guys reaching out to those who came before them. Would be nice to see WWE do the same. A lot tougher though because of the independent contractor aspect.

Bryan is too over with the crowd right now to turn him heel. Same reason why they turned Punk back; fans love him too much to boo him.
Jeremy

He's the one that looks like Squiggy from Lavern and Shirley. He seems to have a lot of potential.15 years ago that might have been epic.

I love the Daniel Bryan push. He's fun to watch.
Jericho is easily my favorite. He's equally good as a heal and a face. I wish he wasn't the one they always fed to guys like Punk and Ryback...and ugh...Fandango.

You are absolutely right. That doesn't mean it won't happen though. The McMahons are not known as the beacons of rationality.

I think Jericho gets all the jobs because he's a pro's pro. He can make anyone look good in the ring. He's been one of my favorites for years. Plus it seems that he is satisfied with a part time schedule. (Royal Rumble through Summerslam)He's the one that looks like Squiggy from Lavern and Shirley.

Unrelated to anything going on in wrestling today - my family has a lake place in Northern Minnesota and Mean Gene Okerlund has a place on the same lake. We ran into him again this past weekend while out to breakfast. He looked healthy which was good to see. There have been times when he didn't look very good.
One of my favorite memories of running into him up there is the first time it happened. I was eating dinner with family at a restaurant and we didn't see him walk in with his family. As we continued to converse I heard his voice - no one else has that voice - and immediately knew who it was. Throughout the entire dinner I just kept hearing him tell stories. The stories themselves weren't even that interesting (not wrestling related) but because it was THAT VOICE it was kind of mesmerizing.

My buddy thinks they are gonna push him as a "Cactus Jack" loon. I also heard he's related to Blackjack Mulligan.
