The speech and the Chicago PPV were his star-making performance, and his work in the meantime has put the crowd squarely behind him. He's clearly the most popular babyface on the card when they don't bring in the michaels and hhh's (which btw, is something that annoyed me - they once again had to say they were the end of an era, effectively burying the entire roster for about the thousanth time, but I digress). Obviously Cena gets bigger reactions, but they're always mixed, and they've become more boos than cheers. If the two of them, meaning Punk and Jericho, work a real classic match, and Punk gets his mania 'moment', it could propel him to that next level. He could be Cena going forward, the way the company wants Cena to be, the babyface star of the company. A lot has changed for Punk in the last 6th months, it's not just the hardcores shouting for him now. You see kids in his merch, you see women in his merch, and you of course see guys between 18 and 40 in his merch. He's the one guy on the roster right now who I think could be this decade's Steve Austin. And they need that right now, desperately. I expect to be let down. |

zack ryder embraced the pimp slap and also eve is a cold hearted bitch. John Cena broke the bro code. Finally R truth for president.

Not trying to brag, but I've been on the Punk train since his last few months of ROH (waits for one of you to say you were on him in the beginning of FIP or something ) and am excited that we're even talking about him in the WWE Title match of WrestleMania (I love you, but dammit Rocky....). I've also been a Jericho fan since I watched him punk Goldberg in WCW and can't wait to see this go down. I was psyched for Jericho-Edge a few years ago and although it was a decent/good match, it could have been amazing. I just really hope the same doesn't happen with Punk-Jericho. I had to laugh when HHH said that their era doesn't exist anymore. I guess I can see what he was trying to do, but I hope Punk (or anyone for that matter) takes him up on that for a feud this summer. HHH owes Punk a good match & feud after that crapfest leading up to Night of Champions last year... |

I've been a Punk fan since his work with Samoa Joe in, when was that?, 2004?
Randy Orton was apparently hurt during his match with big slow last night, so he's out of the Elimination Chamber. They're bringing Mark Henry back early (again) to take his slot, so now Daniel Bryan will be facing Henry, Show and Khali in that chamber, along with Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett (is that right?). I have a sinking feeling we're going to end up with Henry/Sheamus, as I originally predicted a few weeks back. |

Am I the only one that is dissapointed with R-Truth. I thought him as a heel was much funnier than he his now. |

This whole Smackdown situation sounds like a fustercluck. At this point, they'd probably just be smart to let DB keep the belt until Mania. |

Yeah, these injuries, sad as it is to say it, may be the best thing for Danielson since he joined the company. Although there's no guarantee at all that he'll be the beneficiary.

Need to get one at Jerryworld in Dallas before long... Punk being better than Cena at more & more things doesn't surprise me. I'd expect Ryder's merchandise to go down (at least among adult males) after this Eve storyline, but that's just me. |

Ryder's just getting killed by all this I'd imagine.
I've never liked the character to be honest, but I do respect that he was making a name for himself, had a successful youtube show going and was moving merch. Unfortunately in WWE, that kind of stuff will get you punished. There was a note on Funkasaurus in there too. Quote:

I feel that they are testing ryder on this angle see the reduced limelight does to him. If he handle this the right way he'll get a big push.

And I don't know that I was necessarily ever a huge fan of Ryder's character, but I respected the hell out of him & that made me like it more. I don't think I was ever going to buy a Zack Ryder shirt, headband or whatever, but I've turned into a fan of his. At least, before they made him look like a complete bitch in this Kane/Cena/Eve/Zack story... |

Brodus' problem probably doesn't have anything to do with the way he works. Too much jiggle and wiggle. (iow he's fat)
