I've always been a fan of Austin Aries. Given that, I honestly have to say this past Thursday, it looked like he was ripping off CM Punk's character really hard. Maybe it was just just because I just saw Punk's documentary right before Impact, and saw a lot of similarities...who knows.

I see Cobra Commanders point. Think about it, Cena punches Kane off the side and down to the crates, drops to a knee to recoup, looks over the edge and you don't see Kane nor do you see broken crates. You are like, "Wtf...where is Kane", and then throughout the rest of the night you see him in the shadows stalking Ryder, and at the end chokeslamming Ryder off and choking out Cena. I think it would have actually made Kane seem more...what is the word I am looking for...invincible? It's like, you toss this guy down to the ground and he just vanishes...damn. Good blog cobra commander.

I definitely can see your point of view about the Family Dollar. It works much the same way with other products that are on the market. Not only does appealing to a wider audience and to entire households help make money, but if you can get the new generation of young viewers loyal to the product and mom and dad are okay with it because it's Cena Approved, then you are breeding new loyal customers for years to come. Why do you think McDonalds had the clown for such a long time? If the WWE markets to children now then when they grow up they will take their kids because of the fond memories they had when they were young of Cena beating up all the "bad guys" and instilling values that helped shape their morality, fun, etc., and so on and so on. It is a brilliant, yet underhanded, but brilliant marketing scheme indeed.

I do like your idea about Kane as well, that would add more mystery and suspense. Great job!

Well thought out blog. I like your Kane idea at the end there, that would have worked quite well I think.
