Used to be great, but Vince had really aged and lost his gusto. A wrestling site I frequent has two guys that do a live show right after raw and podcast. They both agree though that as good as Punk's promo was a week ago the Vince / Cena promo was horrible. I'm glad that we won't be seeing Cena anytime soon after Money in the Bank. Time to push Alex Riley.

I really liked Vince and Cena on this one. They got the point across.

Vince was interesting because he put himself in a position that nobody's used to seeing. He never plays the sort-of-pathetic self-pitying victim, but that's what he was doing Monday. I liked that, especially putting Cena in that "I don't believe you can beat CM Punk" position.

Blah, on Vince and Cena.

After seeing this, I think the only "real" thing is Punk leaving (TNA?).

Evereything else is swerve , per usual.

I don't think Punk is leaving. If he is leaving I could see Punk winning but having a money in the bank winner beat him to keep title in WWE. But Cena I believe is losing not matter what. No way Punk would go TNA. I can't believe they are still in business as their product is horrible and gets very little ratings wise.

It would be better for Punk to revive the old AWA than to try TNA. They are awful.

I don't think he's leaving, but I do think that they'll play it up as though he's leaving even after he wins the title on July 17th. At least, I'm predicting that he wins the title.

Both products are horrible.
TNA is low rent, just like pro wrestling is supposed to be.
Put Vince's product on Spike and TNA on USA Network and I think the ratings would be a wash.

I like to think that Cena is losing one way or another; however, there have been plenty of times in the past couple years where I couldn't believe they'd send that loser out to win another title defense, but yet it happens. There have been some good story lines that have come to an end because Mr. Fruit Loop wins.

By the way, whatever Vince is paying The Rock to linger around for the next year is way too much. I don't think he's been on RAW for a couple months now.

Also, firing Cena when he has a signed match for Wrestlemania 28 is a little confusing.

Punk was back tonight and again hit the ball out of the ballpark. Loved him calling Boston native Cena the NYY. Can't wait to see the ppv Sunday. Chi-town is going to going bonkers for Punk, heck he had the fans tonight in Boston on his side.

No, it's not. "Signed contracts" are as much of a swerve as any of the rest of it. Unless of course, you really think Punk was negotiating with Vince for a private jet that "didn't stink".

Just when CM Punk is hitting his stride and becomming a worthy villain, he's going to leave. The guy can entertain.

They need to keep pushing Alex Riley and Jack Swagger.

He's not leaving. Probably.

Thing is, he's been on his stride for a while. Most of the good memorable wrestling moments for me of the last 3-4 years involve CM Punk. It's not an accident that the best stuff happens when he's around.

So Erik, what are the slated matches for Sunday? They have a great job of building up this Cena/Punk matchup and the two ladder matches.....what else is going to happen?

Punk even got the crowd to pop for wwf/e ice cream bars. I had never heard of these till the other night.

I can't imagine Vince putting CM Punk on the big stage if he is really leaving, I would think he would be more likely to bury him a'la Jeff Jarrett losing the belt to Chyna at the ppv, unless he is going to give punk a Bret Hart style Montreal screw-job.
