I feel like my first two wrestling posts gave me a false impression of being too pessimistic. While the match itself was a disappointment and this feud is a mean for a terrible end in terms of transitioning to Cena vs Rock II, there are some good things to say about it. The serious promos the wrestlers delivered to each other were pretty good and CM Punk is being treated as more of a main event player now than ever in 2012. His match against The Rock main evented The Royal Rumble, which is by the way the second main event in the entire history of the ppv that wasn't actual rumble (the first was Kurt Angle vs Mark Henry in 2006). Punk was in the main event instead of John Cena, and Cena actually did compete in the ppv. I'm sure Punk will main event The Elimination Chamber as well, after all the only chamber match will be for the World Heavyweight Championship currently held by Alberto Del Rio.
Best of all Technically Punk did defeat The Rock in the main event of a big four ppv, something Cena can't currently admit to doing. Granted this is before they restarted the match, but the history books cannot lie. If anything the rumors of a Punk vs Taker match sound more promising than ever now that Punk has solidified himself as main event material. By the way, fuck all these dirt sheets. Either most of them are bullshit, and/or their premature discovery cancels the original plan thus ruining it for everybody. The fact is that the internet is full of annoying snarky assholes that will stop at nothing to get niggas hype for nothing.
Who knows what's in store for the future of this product? The right word is product and not promotion because The WWE is just another corporate-liberal piece of crap that I'm sucked into, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just like the majority of people won't like the products that Disney puts out anymore, people won't like the majority of products The WWE puts out anymore too. That doesn't mean that when the next pixar film comes out that I'm going to save my money, that also doesn't mean that when Jericho decides to do something interesting that I'm going to save my money.

Cena vs Rock II
Everyone and their grandma predicted this, but not everyone has shown proper anger in regards to it. The Rock's victory over Cena at Wrestlemania 28 could not be their conclusive fight. The WWE will surely like to milk their successes last Wrestlemania and try to even Cena's record over The Rock, because god forbid you make Cena look inferior to The Rock in the pecking order. With Cena's victory at The Royal Rumble and The Rock picking up a victory over Punk at The Royal Rumble, their conflict is written in the stars. After all Cena already made up his mind on Raw who he's going to face and Punk clearly isn't going to win his rematch against Rocky.
Many Punk apologists say that Punk deserves better than to lose to a transitional champ like Dwayne. I'm pretty sure when Cena was making these grievances they weren't on his side, but now that Punk is the one that's losing his spotlight these Smart Marks are jumping to the other spectrum of the knee-jerk reaction. Hypocrisy is inevitable in a corrupted fanbase of fake-ass indie fanboys. Rock Fanboys are also on their bullshit talk, claiming that Rock being a bigger draw is better than having the 434 midcarder holding the title. While last raw did draw a 3.7 which didn't happen since perhaps Raw 1000, that's not an impressive draw, considering they were getting that in the late 2000's too and the company was on its Pg bullshit then too. Furthermore The Rock is another transitional champion anyway, he has to drop the title to Cena at the biggest show of them all because he needs to go back to his main gig.
I don't want to see this match again, granted I won't see this match again, because I'm not going to buy the ppv. I might get tickets to the show just for the experience of being in my second WWE show. Wrestlemania is not going to succeed from the main event, rather something needs to steal the show. Cue another Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, Rock vs Hogan, or any other non main-event match of that caliber. What I mean is that there needs to be a match on that card that's going to need to steal the show before the main event in order for this to work.
Cena and The Rock can't deliver. The Rock is much rustier than anyone involved in the product is willing to admit. These botches he makes keep fucking up the show, let's not forget these matches don't really deliver. John Cena's greatest match was against Lesnar at Extreme Rules for crying out loud. That's not in insult to Lesnar, but they didn't face off at a big four ppv; They faced off at a filler ppv for a filler matchup that was building up to nowhere for Cena. Rock fans are going to be pissed when they realize that Cena's walking out of this the winner, and if not: The third time is always the charm.
How fucked up can things get before the WWE decides to take some pride and control over their product? Nothing really has direction anymore, I can see what directions things are heading, but I can't see a properly woven plot anymore. Point A no longer connects to Point B, rather it crashes into it. Granted my pessimism should be considered a good thing. If I'm not pissed about what's happening it means that this company has fucked up to the point of disenfranchising me from it. This isn't the case at the moment, rather I'm getting dangerously close, moving to the point of having to rant my ass off about how badly they're building this road to Wrestlemania so far. I truly hope that the next eight weeks are moving to a prettier direction. It's come to me hoping again.

Politics is Pornographic
There's something I find disturbing in people using politics to satisfy their ego and id urges. The idea of a charismatic puppet like Barack Obama's words being sweet like nectar to a large demographic gives me the creeps. Back when I was a church goer many biblical verses and preachings described the word of god as being sweet like honey, or something delectable in some way, shape, or form. People really resonated and felt a comforting familiarity with the verses, but especially with the testimonies: Testimonies were described as being a shocker to other people in how they would understand what the speaker was going through.
Do people really look at Barack Obama's constant references to other people's life stories and feel like they're story is being told? I honestly can't wait for Obama to leave just because I'm tired of hearing these stories of a little transexual teen in Syracuse trying to pay for his estrogen dose; I honestly couldn't care less. Turns out everybody else is getting off to his words, while I'm growing more and more disgusted.
Perhaps they look at Obama like a father figure, a savior, maybe even a patriarch. I'll repeat, maybe even a patriarch. If you think about it that way, why wouldn't they look at him that way? He's promising "Affordable Healthcare" and pushing for more social programs that put food on their plate. The females will naturally love that; They'll also love his aloof personality. The kids will treat him like a father figure, especially if their father is a beta male, dead, imprisoned, divorced, or a no show. After all he does look like a man that has it all figured out, granted he has it all figured out with a full career in the public sector, but now I'm just hating.
In many ways Barack Obama is just like what John Cena has become! All that energy being delivered to appeasing maternalism, and none of it for the men in need of putting their testosterone to good use. It's kinda sad really, but Left and Right are really similar to Face and Heel. Forget slave morality, we're dealing with the ethics and the moral values of an audience watching a circus show! The only difference here is that we're not seeing a decline in a company with Barack Obama, we're seeing a decline with an entire nation.
I'm not concerned for the people that support Barack Obama, I'm concerned for people that have a crush on him. These are the mislead fools that need to be guided and saved. They could be admiring something so beautiful, yet their heart is set on something that doesn't love them back and probably never will. What they need is the presence of the divine, now if only Western Civilization was constructed out of a religion that worshiped something divine...
