I like what they're doing with Punk and Johnny Ace, but this is two weeks in a row with absolutely horrendous finishes. First he breaks the Anaconda Vice when (logically) he could just hold it forever, and then he can't get back in the ring after a top-rop dive. Which makes him look stupid on one hand, and weak with the other. But it's nit-picking. Ziggler should be in the title picture, and Punk will eventually come out on top, and then somehow start mixing things up with Jericho. I just wish they would smarten-up with the booking.
But Cena, jesus god, enough already. The only hope for any of this is that they're turning him heel at Wrestlemania, where apparently, the plan according to Meltzer is to give him the win over the Rock. And there's no way in the world to do that in Miami without getting booed.

I agree with everything for the most part, except the annoying shit with Cena seems to be the point. Trying to make it obvious that he's not universally loved anymore & slowly turning him (or at least I ****ing hope so)... And I liked Kane's promo last week (although it shouldn't have ended the show and it went on too long) but the ZOMG HEZ UNDER TEH RING! thing is way too over the top.
I heard a few fans finally get smart & boo Jericho. But it's Memphis. When it comes to wrestling fans, it's pretty much a bigger Wichita. And I can tell you that Wichita wrestling fans SUCK. I'm willing to bet it'll all get cleared up by the Rumble.
And the booking wasn't great, but I can live with it. They have kinda made Punk look stupid the last few weeks but unless you want Ziggler to go over clean (they don't), it's about the only way to logically have Punk go down. I'm glad Ziggler's getting a main event shot and it wouldn't surprise me to see him in the Rumble match and be one of the final 4 or so, too.

Haha this is true. I love the way they've had him interact with Punk, but the rest of it is pretty crazy. I think the idea is that in his mind, he's giving the fans what they want while trying to screw over Punk...
