Two of the biggest names in wrestling are facing each other this Sunday in a match to determine the true champion. It's going to be outspoken CM Punk versus golden boy John Cena. I personally love both of them and look forward to seeing them face each other yet again.
Like their MITB match, this face-off is a definite game changer. Who really is the champion? Is it the man who won and then left? Or is it the man who won it from Rey Mysterio? It certainly has peaked the interest of wrestling and non-wrestling fans from all over, easily becoming one of the most popular angles of the last five or ten years.
Personally, I think that CM Punk is the true champ. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a true blue John Cena fan. I have a Cena snuggie for god sakes. He has been the number one guy for the company for quite some time and he deserves that title, there is no denying that he's a big draw. That being said, CM Punk is a breath of fresh air. There is a new sheriff in town with Triple H taking over the television leadership reigns from Vince and CM Punk is the perfect guy to, for lack of a better term, shake shit up. His off the cuff rants are the most compelling and exciting stuff to come out of WWE programming in a LONG time.
As I've said a million times before, there needs to be a change when it comes to the champion. There are the same guys winning it far too often and it seems as though someone has finally answered my prayers. I think Vince McMahon is one of the most brilliant men ever, and he knows that this recent 'Age of Punk' is peaking interest in his company and its superstars.
There is a shifting dynamic and CM Punk is at the forefront, it may not be a full fledged return to the Attitude Era, but it's a start.

Summerslam Blurb.
This entire Nexxus angle is paying off big time.
The match between Team WWE and Team Nexus was one of the most intense and anticipated matches I have ever watched. Although I am not a fan of the Nexus at all, they certainly held their own against some of the toughest wrestlers that the WWE has to offer. It was an exciting bout from start to finish and, to myself, there was one stand out performer.
Bret Hart.
Now I know I may catch some flack because there may be critics that say he didn't do much, but for a man in his fifties and a stroke survivor, he did amazing. I found the fact that he got disqualified for using a chair a little amusing as he did what he could to help his team out. The shocker of the match had to be Daniel Bryan coming out as the seventh member of team WWE. The Miz would have been a poor choice and I do not appreciate Michael Cole praising Miz one bit. Daniel Bryan was a far better choice, unexpected, and added the right amount of suspense to an already amazing match. It was also very shocking to see him back so soon after he had been let go.
A side note on this match, Michael Cole needs to not speak, ever again. I find his announcing annoying, frustrating, and downright horrible. I think he needs to bone up on his facts, learn the wrestlers names, and stop trying to be such a pain in the ass to everyone. He is really getting on my nerves and I wish that they would stick him backstage somewhere.
It was a pretty solid pay per view. The matches were all strong and very entertaining, with the exception of the ending of the first match. I get that the Nexus attacks people but I am getting really sick and tired of them doing it. Especially since I was actually looking forward to seeing Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler, but it had to be done to try and rattle the nerves of the WWE Universe.
The biggest moment of the entire pay per view was the return of the Undertaker. I jumped out of my seat when that casket lid was lifted and he sat up. He climbed out of that casket like nobodies business and immediately dominated the ring. Hopefully the Undertaker can come back and shake things up on Smackdown.
I decided to keep this short and sweet, with more coming up tomorrow after Monday Night Raw!
