I doubt Punk won't get pushed after the match. Unlike Truth, WWE sees that there are fans for Punk....zychi said:
Don't mention Ryder! 
I didn't say he won't get a push/another title shot, I think his new gimmick is to bitch and moan like he used to do in SES. Even tho the internet likes Punk, he's still the heel here, just not as much of a bad guy as he was in SES. Besides Henry, and Del Rio there's really no big bad guy, and I think theyre developing Punk into a similar role like Austin against management/bitching on the mic at the beginning of every Raw.Shadowlink said:I doubt Punk won't get pushed after the match.

Well with the lack of any Summerslam for me tonight I might have to bust out one of my dvds of the event. I've got from 1998 to 2002 courtesy of the anthology, also 2004 and 2005. Any recommended matches? i'm thinking that there are some hidden gems in these events that I haven't seen in ages instead of just watching some of the usual suspects like HHH/HBK (man 2002 had a marvelous match lineup)

I was originally on Gail Kim's side but cry me a damn river. That is such a horrible attitude to have. People get jerked around all the time in the business, that is how the business works. Especially if you're just an expendable diva.
The Miz went from WWE Champion main eventing at Wrestlemania to not even being booked at Summerslam, and really at absolutely no fault of his own. I wish he'd throw a temper tantrum on Twitter and start acting all kinds of stupid.

That would make sense, but isn't that what The Miz is doing right now(or was doing)? I see that happening, but in the sense of Punk starting a new group of people who hate the new regime.zychi said:

Gail wasn't actually fired though. She quit. And in a really unprofessional (yet hilarious) way.
The Miz worked his way up to being one of the most marketable stars the WWE. Maybe Gail could have learned a thing or two.

Could it really be that great?DMczaf said:
Natalya and Beth are the best in ring women competitors. I guess they could both be the monster heels of their respective brands. No one else could hold a candle to them. AJ is great, but not at that level yet. Eve and Kelly Kelly are a step below AJ.
The rest of the females can do nothing.

So, I think there should be some decent matches tonight. It looks like they're going with a less is more approach, which means there will be some longer matches I hope. Probably a couple of impromptu ones I'm sure.

Noone gives a fuck about women wrestling. Tits and Ass can be on the show as backstage interviewers and valets. I don't see the appeal in watching two women fight.

so wwe is smart enough to let punk have the title and let John Cena have some time off right, the man doesnt need the title right now, and the WWE is RIPE for a reign of awesome/terror depending on your pov with punk leading the charge. Looking at the matches in this PPV its clear the wwe needs to build mid card matches find a way to work the US and intercontinental titles into some prime time matches.

There was a major argument between Hulk Hogan and TNA head writer Vince Russo at the Hardcore Justice pay-per-view last Sunday regarding the finish of the Kurt Angle vs. Sting main event. Hogan was frustrated enough that he was telling people that Russo doesn't know anything because he's never been a wrestler.
Hogan and Russo made up at the Impact Wrestling taping on Monday. However, there has been noticeable tension among some of the power players in the company at the three days of Impact Wrestling tapings that followed.
There was also a lot of grumbling backstage regarding Eric Bischoff. The feeling of some wrestlers within the company is that he's snobbish and arrogant, and some of his criticisms over the in-ring work are falling on deaf ears because some of the talent don't respect his opinion regarding in-ring work."

Well they used the same tired ass ref bump, run-in, swerve, heel turn, they do in every main event so I assume Russo won out.

My guess is Kofi / Del Rio, Cody / Zeke rematch, and Miz / Rey (unless Rey is hurt, in which case I have no idea) with an outside shot of Ziggler / Riley.
I agree Cena desperately needs time off, and they need Punk to carry a legit title reign for a few months. The problem becomes who could Punk possibly feud with if it isn't Cena? Del Rio I guess, but can that carry Raw for a month or two? Eh... unless Del Rio cashes in on Punk and turns out to be in cahoots with Mr. H's or something.
Damn, that set looks hot! I'm halfway excited for tonight I guess.
Rhodes vs. Zeke rematch makes sense - though I'm curious if half the audience at SS knows that Rhodes won it in the first place? :lol
Rey and Ziggler are both hurt still, right? So they probably won't be having a match.

They all don't know jack shit about booking. Whatever happened to the rumor that Russo was looking to move on from TNA at some point last year? Funny nothing ever came of that.

Here's a sneak previewEntropia said:
Miz gets constant TV time on RAW. Gail Kim had her matches last a minute, maybe 2-3 on RAW if they even decided to put her on the show. Instead we often seen her get some matches on Superstars, which had matches that were 10x better than what we commonly see on RAW. I can definitely see where she's coming from, and don't blame her at all for quitting. Vince and Co. killed any sense of a women's division they had -- despite having at least four women who could wrestle (Beth, Natalya, Gail, and Melina [Melina/Gail had entertaining matches on Superstars, check them out]).darkside31337 said:
