There is a lot to cover in this post; Ultimate Warrior's 'Karma Collects' video came out, the Capitol Punishment pay-per-view, and the second three hour edition of Monday Night Raw. So here we go, let's get down to business...
I sat with my mom and watched all eight parts of the 'Karma Collects' video. First off, I have never been more entertained in my entire life. Some serious allegations were made against Hogan by Warrior. He was/is a drug abuser, he was so afraid of other guys getting over that he would sabotage their careers, he is a hypocrite, and a plethora of others. It was a lot to take in and I sat riveted to my computer for almost an hour. Warrior made one statement that really stood out to me, "Hulkamania shows how to fuck up a life."
Utterly speechless.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is more than just mudslinging. You don't say those types of things without having some kind of truth to the rumors. I personally find it weird that Hogan hasn't really addressed these allegations. Most people would advise that the best thing to do is to keep your mouth shut, 100% wrong. I think that Hogan should come out and say a little more than what has been said. I'm looking forward to any other videos that Warrior is releasing but what I'd really like to see if these two men face to face. Now that would be entertainment...
As for the Capitol Punishment pay-per-view, it was a really solid card. What they could have done differently was get rid of that stupid Obama impersonator. It would have been impressive if the real president made a surprise appearance. Asking a lot, I know, but it would have been phenomenal. The highlight of the event for me was when that little kid threw the drink in R-Truth's face and celebrated in the ring with John Cena. My dad and I laughed so hard, it just goes to show that the superstars are all about the fans and giving them a fantastic show. There are two things that made me scratch my head during the show, one happened when Christian faced Randy Orton and when Kofi Kingston faced Dolph Ziggler.
We'll start with the Dolph Ziggler versus Kofi Kingston match. I'm sorry but Scott Armstrong needs to go back to FCW or something. Ziggler clearly used to bottom rope for leverage and his sleeper hold on Kofi should have been broken. I do realize that he probably made a judgement call and wanted to do what was best for Kofi but COME ON! Any other referee would have broken that hold.
And concerning Christian versus Randy Orton...HIS FOOT WAS CLEARLY UNDER THE ROPE! I saw it, the announcers saw it, everyone watching saw it. I have seen the officials reverse their decisions based on replays from matches before and I think that the same should be done here. Or there should at least be one more rematch. It's not like Christian is some Joe Blow going for the belt, this man earned it and deserves it. Hopefully this is all just part of the angle and not just another Montreal Screwjob.
I won't even discuss the results from Monday Night Raw: Power to the People because of all the problems that they had with the mobile voting system. The biggest disappointment of the night was that the problems caused Mason Ryan to face Evan Bourne. I so badly wanted Sin Cara to face Evan Bourne and found it extremely odd that the WWE Universe would pick Ryan over Sin Cara. At least the WWE acknowledged the snafu and is making it up to the fans, I for one will be glued to my seat Monday night to watch the two high flyers go at it. Another fun surprise for next week is that Shawn Michaels is the special guest, he'll be in attendance for the Raw Roulette and to promote his new outdoor themed television show. If anything, it should bring up the ratings and get a great reaction out of the fans who always go nuts whenever the Heartbreak Kid is around.
What I want to discuss the most is CM Punk's stunning announcement that on July 17th he will be wrestling his final WWE match. I was stunned. I heard rumors of it happening but didn't think that it would happen. I'm attending a taping of Monday Night Raw in Edmonton this August and very upset that I won't be able to see him. I'm hoping that he will remain in some capacity with an eventual return, that it's just a break like Chris Jericho takes periodically. Either way, it's a true loss to every wrestling fan. CM Punk had incredible in-ring ability and an even more incredible gift of gab. He could get the crowd going and make them laugh all in the same breath. He delivered world class entertainment each time he stepped in between those ropes and into the squared circle, as only the WWE superstars can do. We'll miss you Punk...
With two three hour editions of Raw complete and Raw Roulette coming up, let's sit back and see what the WWE creative team has to offer up to us next week.
