Heyman's promo was beautiful. When he does that with Cesaro, I'm going to mark out so hard.

As a gigantic Punk mark, I hate to agree, but you're right. If the rumors were true and Bryan was supposed to wrestle Sheamus last night, none of this is going on unless Punk walks out.
That said, I really would like to see him come back at some point before next year's Mania. He could have an awesome match/feud with a lot of guys on the roster, namely Bryan. I'm losing faith that he ever will with each passing week.

I'm so happy right now. Would have liked to see more of an actual match, but I won't argue with the result.

I thought the same thing. I'm imagining he's going to be a face, seeing as how the crowd freaking loves him. If they're going to feud him with Swagger for the time being, he's definitely going to be the face in that match.
Crowd singing his theme was fantastic.

I wasn't around for the 80s but from what I understand, it was very similar to what we just went through with Cena playing the part of Hogan. No matter how over Edge, Punk, Miz, etc. were, Cena was the focus all the damn time.
As for the Attitude Era, it depends on how you want to look at it. In terms of how over the company is to the public, I don't know if there's the Austin/Rock/Sting/Taker/etc character that's going to make kids wear the t-shirts to school the next day. And I think the PG thing hampers a bit of the excitement (WM 13 wouldn't have been the same if Austin passes out minus the blood). But in terms of potential match quality and depth of the roster, you might be on to something.
It certainly looks a lot better than it did a few months/years ago. The company seems to be more willing to let the younger guys take the spotlight than they used to be. Between Bryan, Cesaro, Wyatt, The Shield and my girl Paige (to say nothing of the guys in NXT that I'm not totally familiar with), there's a ton of good, young talent that's over with the fans. It's been a long damn time since we were able to say that.
