This blogy-thingy will be mostly stuff that I think is awesome and occasionally the delusions of grandeur and realities of mediocrity that is my life.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I thought Wrestlemania was pretty average. The beginning of tonight’s Raw made me think about taking a hiatus from the WWE until Cena retires. But Dolph Ziggler finally successfully cashing in his MITB briefcase was fantastic.
I am pretty lukewarm on WrestleMania this year, but holy crap Punk and Heyman are magnificent bastards.
“Oh you are not aware of this? Your posterior better contact someone at once!”
CM Punk’s road to Wrestlemania does not stop for birthday parties.
“I chose honest arrogance over hypocritical humility.”
Congrats to Kaitlyn for not only winning her 1st title last night in her hometown but for also using an Anchorman reference in her promo afterwards.
“Unlike a lot of people, I’m glad you’re back. I don’t care what your schedule is. I don’t care if you work here 16 days a year, 365 days a year, you can be Santa Claus and have his schedule, you could 1 day a year, I’ll still kick your ass. I don’t care how many movies you film every year, I know how hard that schedule probably is. But every time you come back, whenever you decide to grace us with your presence, I’m gonna kick your ass.
Because this isn’t Candyland, I’m like nobody you’ve ever faced before. You can make fun of the color of my t-shirt and you can talk about pie and you can sing songs and you can rhyme and you can do your tired lame-ass schtick. I just want you to know that come Royal Rumble, and you have about 3 weeks to realize this, I’m gonna kick your ass cause I’m the best in the world. I’m the best thing going today, I’m the best guy you’ve ever stepped foot in the ring with.
And you need to understand, congratulations Rock you just graduated from the kiddie table, but you’ve just bit off more than you can chew. You’re playing little league with your little insults and your rhymes and your millions and millions and your finallys, and I’m in the big leagues and I’m swinging for the fence. You need to understand that your little jabs and your insults it’s all kid games, you can’t leave a mark on the champ’s face. Come Royal Rumble, understand when you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with god.”
I’ve been waiting for the promo that ended last night’s show since the 1000th episode of RAW ended. It felt like CM Punk had been waiting for that opportunity even longer than that. If the best we can hope for is Rocky’s promos being half serious and half middle school jokes, that is still so much better than anything feuding with Cena or Ryback has offered Punk and the WWE title in the last 5 months. I hope the promos stay intense and I hope the build to the Rumble is epic.
CM Punk has been WWE Champion for 414 days and will defend that title against “The Ryback” tonight on RAW. I have not watched the WWE in 2 weeks but will tonight as the build for the Royal Rumble is sure to heat up with The Rock also set to appear.
Punk’s reactions to everything during and after the main event were great but him “abandoning ship” was probably my favorite part of RAW.
