On A Positive Note for Punk vs Rock

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.
