    Why is Punk shafted a title reign in there? He and Cena were co-champs, thn at SummerSlam Cena won the unification match, Big Daddy Oz powerbomed Punk, Del Rio cashes in on Punk.

    (Not bitching at you KY, I know you're just quoting the website.)

    I don't know why they did it that way. I guess they're refusing to acknowledge Punk as champ for the time he was away last summer.

    You mean Punk won the unification match.

    Yeah, I think fans would get into "old-school" booking if they'd use it, if for no other reason that it's different than what they're used to.

    Whoops, yep, you're right. My bad.

    Watching SmackDown from last Friday (I know, but I DVR'd it) and I have to say I'm glad they're giving some different people like Tyson Kidd a chance to show what they've got. I know he can be a bit of a spot monkey, but he can wrestle (who's been trained by the Harts that can't?) and I'm glad to see new people getting some shine. Heck, I'm even interested to see what Damien Sandow can do.

    UPDATE: I'm also interested to see where they take the crazy AJ angleI know it's only a short-term thing, but it does have me wonder what's going to happen next. Also, I'm glad to see the possible seeds of a Ziggler-Vickie breakup when she slapped the crap out of him. Ziggler probably needs to be on his own if he's going to be as big as they want him to be and this was a good way to start in that direction.

    I honestly think we'll see Punk drop the belt this go around and maybe a Bryan-Cena feud going into the Slam.

    But then again, that would probably make too much sense.

    Punk drops the belt to Bryan at Money in the Bank. CM Punk gets his rematch at Summerslam in a 60 minutes Iron Man Match. That's what I want to happen.

    Would love to see that happen.

    Too bad it probably won't.

    Punk-Bryan in a 60-minute Iron Man match has Match of the Year written all over it. Too bad WWE would likely do something to screw it up.

    Never going to happen. That doesn't leave enough time for whatever Cena match The E has in mind, and you know The E is not going to short-change the Triple H/Lesnar bout.

    Sorry, but keep dreaming for the Ironman match at SS.
