CM Punk/WWE Update

Sorry about the time off between posts. I've been busy moving to a different state, then getting a nice back injury that kept me mostly watching BBC Top Gear, Pro Wrestling, and HGTV shows. Okay, maybe not the latter. But I do have an update about the CM Punk saga.

It's working. CM Punk has managed to convince the WWE heads that he's a breakout star (and should have been one years ago), and that it was internal WWE politics that kept guys like him down. The dialectic (yes, it is that) between Punk, Cena, and Triple H (the "COO" of the WWE) has been well thought out, compelling, and great in-ring action. Punk's managed to win the WWE title, and he's managed to shed light on the failure of the WWE's "status quo ante". It's a good thing, and we've gotten some great wrestling and storylines out of it. Because of Punk, they're pushing Christian, Alberto Del Rio, Evan Bourne, Daniel Bryan, and even Zack Ryder.  It's a refreshing change of pace. And we have CM Punk to thank for it.
