Saw MITB on Tuesday night, only just had chance to put a proper post on here. What a fantastic show, easily the most enjoyable WWE have put on since Mania. Nothing wrong at all with the pre-main event matches, but tbh for me it was all about the big match, and what an incredible one it was! Unfortunately main events like that are few and far between in WWE these days, but when they do happen they are an absolute joy. Cannot possibly praise both wrestlers enough for the effort they put in, as well as the psychology and story-telling - absolute first-class (as was the involvement of McMahon and Laurinitis (sp)). The twists, turns and build-up helped make it IMO one of the matches of the year so far, and the atmosphere was incredible and unique to say the very least.
Full marks to what Punk and Cena managed to produce on Sunday. When WWE gets everything right about a big match like this it really is the greatest form of entertainment in the world. I was absolutely gripped by the whole match (and what a long one it was for a Cena bout! ), for me it really did have everything, inc suspension of disbelief, as well as a huge element of doubt which again, WWE struggles to create these days.
A thoroughly enjoyable event, and WWE deserves a ton of credit for allowing Punk to run with the ball so much the last month or so. To sell out a 'B-level' PPV in your home state to the tune of 14,800+ and be over like no-one since Stone Cold (whilst doing this as a heel) shows just what a fantastic and talented guy Punk is.
He knows now that he is in an almost Jericho or Rock-like position where (I believe) he can use WWE like his personal playground, i.e. just turn up and leave whenever it suits him, because that guy has proven that he puts butts in seats. Speaking of which, will be interesting to hear the buy rate for MITB, I bet it performed very well for a PPV of that stature.
Big up WWE, hate to say it but TNA will not come close to achieving anything like that for at least 20 years.

Nah, unfortunately at 28 and a regular weekend drinker my time has passed I reckon.

Go have a look on a certain video sharing website for "CM Punk calls out HHH" for footage of Punk crashing the WWE Q&A section at Comic Con

Best storyline they've had in 10 years. Proves if there was any doubt that Punk is still part of WWE, its all just a very clever storyline.

In anticipating a possible interaction between Punk and HHH after Raw I knew there were be some sort of Stephanie reference and it came sooner than I thought.

Punk: You know where to find me, I'm sure Stephanie has my phone number.

HHH v Punk at Summerslam anyone??????

Hope HHH doesn't use the angle as a power trip and pushes himself to beat Punk, bring the title back to WWE and be the all powerful saviour of all things Vinnie Mac.

This has got the potential to be something people will talk about for years.

Gave my Straight Edge Society t-shirt a wear in Hull last night. Was after his latest one (exc the one he wore at MITB which looked very smart), but they appear to be sold out except for XS and XXL on Euroshop.

www.wweeuroshop.com/product.asp?code=98037 Same with that one too. Punk is simply The Man in pro wrestling right now.

Punk Tshirts going for hundreds of dollars on Ebay atm.

Jesus. If Euroshop has any sense they'll have all sizes been reeled off pronto.

It's insane of WWE to NOT try and capitalize on this. They're throwing away millions of dollars

Agree totally mate, if they don't milk this for every pound / dollar they can they must be mad.

Clearly Punk is under contract to WWE in some form. Hell, they signed a new marketing deal with him just before he "left".

Seems they're willing to lose some cash now on the chance of making much more down the line
