Kofi and Y2J had an awkward match that Jericho lost by a pretty weak DQ. He said to Rey Rey "anyone who a wears a mask eesa either incredibly ugly, incredibly stupid or.eesa the batman!" Man, if this guy could only wrestle he'd be King Korn Karn by now. Santino continued his tradition of coming down to the ring, being ten times funnier and more interesting than the other guy, and then getting his ass beat. Mickie, now the only good girl on the show, defeated Jillian. On RAW, Edge came out and mouthed off at the fans and then got beat up by Batista and then got "Money in the Bank'd" by Punk. Maybe I should actually re-read my words sometimes. I don't even read my own column, much less think that anyone important in the industry reads it. Of course, he brings up the old "Drive-Thru Vegas" storyline, and not the real life story that involves him as one of the heir-apparents to the entire WWE empire, but still. And in my brilliant deductive mind I can surmise that TRIPLE H reads my illustrious column! I mean, just last week I mentioned the fact that both he and Edge "slept" their way to the top, and.now look at what Hunter does.

And friends, when all the nine-year-old girls of the world are complacently swooning over sweaty, scruffy hobo-like entertainers, we can all sleep the sleep of angels. There was one right in front of me at the ECW/Smackdown show I went to last month, and she loooooved her some Punk. I know one thing.little nine-year-old girls all over the world are happy. He's a better wrestler than they let him be most of the time. Punk will make a great champ during the next few nano-seconds that they allow him to hold the belt. Not once did that cheesedick Michael Cole call Punk any kind of "opportunist" whatsoever. And of course, in the old tradition of the face/heel double standard.Punk is seen as a hero. Now, I happened to have been looking forward to seeing both Triple H and Edge back on Smackdown with the major world titles, but I guess the panic around RAW not having a champion was just too much to endure. But we need to make a little sample deli-tray out of these workers. Hey, as much as I think it isn't, it might just be Kennedy. They've been trying with them for almost a decade. We scold TNA for failing to build up their stars of the future all the time, but the WWE will never hit their next stride without that cross-over media sensation superstar, and we'll never know who that is until they try someone new. Give Jeff Hardy a World Title of some kind. Sure he's rotten on the mic, but he'll never get better if we don't let him. We all remember the last time the ratings spiked with a new world was back when Edge won his first WWE Championship. And not only did Punk shock the world, he brought in some decent numbers, ratings wise.
