Interesting interview with Punk in GQ:
http://www.gq.com/sports/profiles/201107/cm-punk-wwe-wrestling-interview?currentPage=1
I'm fairly sure that this whole angle (which includes these types of interviews) is an elaborate work, and if so, it's brilliant.

Yeah that has become obvious in the past two weeks but hell, no-one still has any idea what happens tomorrow and Monday. SO EXCITED. He is also on Cabana's podcast this week, which is great for other reasons too (the match where Chris Hero gets hit by a cardboard box story is A+!)

It seems like he really does need to take some time out, so it's a shame he's probably going to end up disappearing for a bit in the middle of such a good angle (maybe via Del Rio or someone cashing in)
― MPx4A, Saturday, 16 July 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
If he just takes a few months, comes back and unleashes all kinds of hell then ends up finally getting his match with Steve Austin I guess I won't complain though

Quite like haha Scott Keith's idea of Punk winning and then having to fight both MITB winners one after the other, with him beating the Smackdown one then losing to the Raw one
A MITB guy needs to fuck up and lose at some point
― MPx4A, Saturday, 16 July 2011 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
The internet p much assumes that is why it is happening at MITB, which'll lead to Del Rio v. Cena at Summerslam
In fantasy land though I want Punk to leave with it, and leave until Survivor Series, with just a show here or there in New Japan or ROH

Smackdown MITB- Bryan Danielson went and fucking won it! Wooo! And a Ring Of Honor chant! Exciting! Don't see De Bryan being made to cash in tonight.

Currently: Piss break. (or the Diva match.)
FUCKING HELL I don't think i've ever heard a pop like that. The Rock returning was piss all compared.

ok I actually jumped up and down when the end happened. IM IN SMILE FUCKING COUNTRY. Best match of the decade.

* When it very suddenly sank in with the crowd that nobody could catch Danielson* The possibly unintentionally overegged "graveyard of careers" vibe with everyone getting injured; the Smackdown MITB spots seemed a bit toned down compared to what's gone in the past, except for the two absolutely fucking heinous bumps Sheamus was involved in, which overcompensated ridiculously* The return of the "if in trouble, just rip Mysterio's mask off and win for free" spot* John Cena doing 3/5 of the five moves of doom and then sort of looking really sheepish and apologetic to the crowd* John Cena Abdominal Stretch Heel Heat Segment* Cena and Orton both moroning themselves out of their titles in vastly differing ways* Johnny C chinning Jonny Ace* "CM Punk even taking time to high five his fans here" as Punk high fives Cabana while a thunderingly obvious "Colt Cabana" chant thunders around the arena* Teasing fucking the angle up at exactly every point where it might have been fucked up and then not fucking it up* STRONG STYLE~!
I hope the buyrate pops half a billion

Awesome main event. Great job WWE.
Christian vs Orton was also done well ... they've fought a million times already but now the storyline switches gears and you still want to see them fight some more.

I actually kind of wanted to see Danielson cash in on dead Christian so Christian would be like the most aggrieved two time world champion ever and then work a program with Danielson, but I don't blame them for not exhausting the crowd before their epochal 40 minute main event#
Also forgot looking at Bourne and thinking "you're gonna kill yourself" and then him hitting this immaculate SSP
― MPx4A, Monday, 18 July 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah he looked like he was about to trip off that, didn't he?
LOL at half the Raw match being about climbing the shorts ladder too.

They must have reinforced the fucker.
Yeah, the RAW MITB was kind of weirdly farcical and chaotic
Liked the impromptu Kane Doomsday Device spot getting an LOD chant in Chicago (and then Cena getting his only possible pop for the evening by punching Animal's brother out)

Oh, it was announced today. I was rigorously avoiding spoilers having casually glanced at the in-progress results at 2am last night and accidentally found out Danielson had won, then having trippy 4am American Dragon dreams
I gotta get away from the business for a while
This was free on Sky?! I thought that gravy train had sailed in like '02

Being on about four hours' sleep and flitting between the scarcely believable clusterfuck of the WWE main event scene and the scarcely believable clusterfuck of All of Britain is really fucking surreal, at this point I appear to be hallucinating Sabu hacking the Sun which is p. bad

As many of you saw on RAW this past week, John Laurinaitis was sporting a black eye. There was some speculation backstage that he had make-up applied to further the storyline but word is the black eye was legitimate. Cena apparently really connected with a punch at the Money in the Bank PPV. Also, part of the reason John Laurinaitis was with Vince McMahon at Money in the Bank for the run-in is because Vince has been told by his doctors not to take any bumps.
Speaking of Laurinaitis, there is lots of talk within WWE about his long-term future with the company. WWE has been looking for someone with a sports background to groom for a job in talent relations. It's no secret backstage that Triple H is not and has never been a big supporter of Laurinaitis. There has also been talk that Laurinaitis will become a full-time TV character, similar to how Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco were to Vince McMahon years ago.
lol
