    Very doubtful.

    I wish they'd give the Funkman an actual match.

    Speaking of rusty on the mic ... I guess Wrestlemania has been pushed back to April 21st, according to the Undertaker.

    Prediction ... Lauranitis doesn't give Miz a spot in Wrestlemania. Long either doesn't fill his entire roster or needs a last-minute sub ... enter Miz, leading Long to victory and spiting Johnny Ace, and leading to a face turn.

    I like that idea, and I think Miz is long overdue for a face run.

    And the WWE title storyline has turned into one about alcohol.

    I don't know if the story about Punk's father is true, but if it is, it'd also be interesting to see if Punk brings up Jericho's DUI.

    According to WikiQuote, it's true:

    "I grew up with an alcoholic father. He never beat me, he never raised a hand against my mother or anything like that, but I'd seen enough stupid and ridiculous things between that, my mother and her prescription pills, and just hanging out with an older crowd when I was a kid, that I didn't understand a lot of the fun to what partying was, so I just never did it. I didn't understand waking up next to somebody you don't remember going to bed with; I didn't understand getting, you know, blackout drunk and not remembering the good times you have with your buddies; and I feel so strongly about it that I've just always been this way—it just made sense."

    Then this makes this feud even better, in my opinion. Real life issues can enhance a storyline, although sometimes, it can backfire (the Angle/Jarrett/Karen feud frankly sucked).

    Jericho can bring out Punk's dad, to make it personal. Punk can counter by bringing out Jericho's wife to talk about the DUI. It steps everything up a notch.

    And they can justify it pretty well ... that under Lauranitis, Miz has dropped down the totem pole and he has been overlooked.

    Freddie Mercury just rolled over in his grave, and he knows exactly why.

    John Holmes' corpse showed up?

    Yep, that went on one song too long. Should've listened to Costanza ... always leave on a high note.
