The WHC was 50 shades of Eddie Guerrero, It doesn't have to be heel if its comical.

Great blog Savior. I won't lie, I woke up and hit up the ewn, coffee in hand, and read Coffee Talk. Now folks say what you will about last nights Rumble, I for one believe it was cleverly plotted out. I marked the hell out when Jericho came out as the number two entrant. I was glad to see the E' stuck to their roster and talent for this years' Rumble.

Fact of the matter still stands; Punk carried that whole damn match with Rock. Now I'm not preaching about the finish, or anything for that matter. I'm just stating facts. Rock took quite a few decent bumps, but barely was able to keep up with Punk. IMO, the match may have been better than watching Rock/Punk, but it still fell short. It was like watching any wrestler step up in the ring with Taker. Opponent doing all of the work, and superstar taking credit.

Either way, decent PPV, and as you stated, very predictable. Thanks for the read bud, you timed it right for my morning coffee. Hoping to see you write up a few special "Abdominal Stretch" blogs along the road to Mania. Take Care

I think that you missed the part where Daniel Bryan eliminated Kane and then Bryan was thrown over the top rope right into Kane's arms. After some begging from Bryan to toss him back into the ring as his feet hadn't touched the floor yet, Kane dropped Bryan on the floor to eliminate him. I thing that this might be the end of Team Hell No and there might be some more fallout from it on Raw. At least I hope so. They have had a good run but I think that both need to go back to singles competition. A short feud between the two wouldn't be a bad idea either.

NO WAY BIG SHOW WILL WIN THE RUMBLE AFTER LOSING TO DEL RIO!!!IF HE DOES IL WILL ADMIT ON THIS BLOG IN A WEEKS TIME THAT YOU ARE A WWE GOD FOR CALLING IT

I think the Big Show has a legitimate shot. The World Heavyweight Championship picture is really heating up. If you have Big Show win the rumble, Sheamus win the WHC at Elimination Chamber and then have Ziggler cash in the briefcase, you set up a fatal fourway match at WM between Ziggler, Show, Sheamus, and Del Rio. It's a perfect way to feature your more profile talent in a meaningful way w/o sacrificing time to Rock/Taker/Lesnar/Cena/Punk and it also has the benefit of rewarding a hardworking and loyal employee like Big Show.

Ya, the Paul reference was Paul Heyman. The "5 minutes" was a crack about how ECW was run.
On Velvet Sky, her new look straight-up reminds me of Rogue from X-Men.
I said on another thread that the crowds reaction to Taz taking off the jacket sold the moment better than anything that happened in ring.
Also, did you notice during the ending beatdown, Anderson was out and wearing a Nomads cut? Same as Taz's. I'm thinking that TNA guys who join A&8 will all be labeled as Nomads (travelers), which works for the biker theme.
