Not so good times that Punk was a main event jobber for the third straight PPV. They are just taking away every bit of momentum and push he was getting. With the focus on Miz/R-Truth, looks like he's about to fade back into the woodwork like before.
Could be worse, Hulk Cena could still be champ. He'll get a rematch now, though. This WAS Punk's rematch. What is with having a new champion at EVERY PPV? Was surprised (happily) Henry retained.
Oh, LOVED the return of old school Intercontinental Title. The prestige is back! Reminds me of when the likes of Macho Man, Honkey Tonk Man, Rick Rude, Curt Henning, Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart held it. Best thing to happen to the title since Ric Flair held it
Let's attack aggressively, kupo! :D

There is talk of them airing some of their PPV's live on that channel.
The big 4 only at this point. Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Survivor Series & Royal Rumble all for free with WWE Network for just $10-$20 a month, as they are saying at this point in time.
The only thing I dont like about the WWE Network is that they will probably bundled in with a bunch of other channels that I dont want or watch instead of adding it to a current bundle and the fact that I will probably have to pay more to upgrade the package I already have just for one channel.

Sounds like The Great Khali might be done with WWE and I for one hope it's true. He is easily my least favorite wrestler and one of the worst in ring workers I have ever seen.

The thing with the Great Khali was that they put him on top waaaay to fast instead of building him up. I mean he made his debut in a feud with the Undertaker and shortly after that he was World Heavyweight Champion. After that though they just didnt know what to do with him I mean that Kiss cam angle just made him look like a joke. Now it seemed that they were going to start using him more with a whole Khali/Mark Henry feud which personally I would have loved but now it appears that that will be another phantom oh it never happened storyline due to Khali's departure.

I agree that Khali is horrible in-ring, but i think he could have a place with the company in some sort of role, such as an enforcer for a competant in-ring worker, or as a "special attraction" of some sort. While i don't think the two are truly comparable, Andre was also extremely limited in-ring, but the way he was used and booked worked perfectly for his limited ability back in the day.
I actually really liked his World championship run, but that's almost exclusively because of how flawlessly it was booked.
also, I know Daniel Bryan is supposed to be an underdog and not win all the time or suddenly be a big deal but it isn't like him winning a lot and even winning against upper midcard/main eventers would convince me, or anyone else, that it's more likely he'll actually win the World title at Wrestlemania, so I fail to see the point of not having him win matches. At least have the guy who is gonna be in the World championship match at Wrestlemania look somewhat like an equal to a Christian or a Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus btw, as much as I desperately don't want any more world title changes before Wrestlemania (as world title changes completely stopped mattering when Orton and Cena were trading the belt every month a couple of years ago), I could somewhat forgive it if it means we get that Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan match we never got last time.
Even tho the match will end up being a train wreak I still like the Show and Henry feud. At the very least it gets Orton out of the title picture for a week or two. Also AJ Lee not having a match tonight makes me sad... I'm so in love with her. I know she had a match on Superstars and actually won for change but still.
