I'm so jealous you were at that one. That's probably my favorite 'Mania in the last 5 years. And I can't wait to see the Chicago crowd reaction, cause you know Punk's gunna do everything in his power to make them boo him (although it probably won't make a difference).

I think it's #2 more than #1. But I'm holding out hope that they can make it a good angle, maybe give Punk the belt for a month & let SuperCena or someone else (are there any other main event faces on Raw?) take it back at Summerslam. I'm not counting on it, but I hope it happens. Punk's the best thing WWE has right now and I hope they see that after last night.
