Apparently Meltzer gave Punk-Cena 5 stars. First one in WWF/E since 1997 (HBK-Taker HIAC), first one in North America since 2005 (AJ Styles-Samoa Joe-Chris Daniels in TNA), and Punk's 2nd career 5 star match (Punk-Joe in ROH in 2005). Kinda surprised that there's not more recent HBK matches (first WM match vs. Taker or his match against Angle? And how in the hell did they never book a Punk-HBK match?), but whatever.
I'm assuming this came from his site, as it t'was posted here, hope it's not "premium" info or anything... Quote:

I was just about to post the rating myself.
That is premium info btw. But I won't tell if you don't. John Cena in a 5-star match. Maybe the world really is ending soon. |

I find it interesting what qualifies for premium stuff nowadays. Seems to me like that's just a move-by-move recap of the match with an opinion thrown in every couple sentences.
As much as I love Chris Jericho and think he's a wonderful wrestler, Cena now has more 5-star matches than he does. Granted, it's 1-0, but still..... |

And if this turns out to be "one great match/moment" before Punk goes back to the midcard upon his return, WWE is dumber than I thought. There's plenty of new fans and excitement over where the company can/will go from here and they'd be stupid not to cash in on Punk's popularity & talent. He needs to be a full-time main eventer, including a big match at WM 28. I've never had to ask this before, but do they have Blu Ray releases for anything other than Wrestlemania? Cause I'd love to have MITB in all its hi-def glory, at least until they get off their asses & release a CM Punk DVD... |

Colt is a funny bastard, his podcast is really good too (The Art of Wrestling). If you are looking for a good wrestling documentary, he was recently in one called "The Wrestling Road Diaries" that covers him, Bryan Danielson and Sal Rinauro on a ten day roadtrip back when they were all together in ROH right before Dragon left for WWE. It's a great look into their lives as indie wrestlers.

According to Wrestling Observer, this is the 5th straight summer where Vince has had some sort of a power struggle angle...
07: Vince's limo blows up, returns after Chris Benoit's death. 08: Raw stage collapses on him during that million dollar giveaway thing. 09: Sold Raw to Donald Trump, ended the angle after stock prices dropped. 10: Nexus attacks Vince, leaves him in a coma. 11: HHH relieves him of his duties. And on another note, Stone Cold wants WWE to sign Samoa Joe when his TNA contract is up. I have no idea when that's scheduled to happen, but I'd like to see it (assuming he doesn't get the Braden Walker treatment...). @steveaustinBSR Steve Austin WWE should sign @SamoaJoe as soon as his TNA contract is up. One of my favorite workers in today's game. Needs a full green light push. http://twitter.com/#!/steveaustinBSR...46646665330688 |

Yeah, my hope this time is that it's an angle they stick with, and they really are transitioning to HHH permanently on TV, the way they're supposedly beginning to transition behind the scenes (rumor is that HHH has been getting a lot of grooming this year). Vince can still make the occasional appearance, but let the authority Vince character rest in peace.
