What do you think of this idea? CM Punk loses at Money In the Bank and leaves the WWE. However, CM Punk comes back to win the Royal Rumble and now is the challenger for the WWE title against Cena and the Rock. It gives CM time to rest and heal, adds to the storyline of calling out Dwayne and Cena for not being a part of Wrestlemania. It is obvious this whole thing is a work as much as some do not believe it is. CM will become the next Stone Cold and rule the WWE

I am not a big fan of Triple Threat WWE Title matches as I think the belt should be defended one on one.  The positive that would come out of your scenario is that Punk would come back to the company.  I would like to see that because he is so good. 

People talk about John Morrison doesn't have good mic skills. How is he going to get better when they don't even give him mic time to get better?

He can practice cutting promos outside of the ring and work on them that way, much like musicians and actors rehearse.  You can't really expect the company to send him out there and learn on the fly because they have a product that they are selling.  It's incumbent on him to put in the work on his own to improve if he wants to get promo time on TV. 

Just curious: how come you guys never seem to reference when Lance Storm makes updates to his Q and A section on his website, whereas you do so for JR, Xpac, etc?

Storm never sends us press releases for what he writes and X Pac and JR do.  It's that simple.

With the current era of wrestling, why does WWE insist on drastically affecting the history of champions by allowing mid-carders to gain the title for a short, useless, period of time, have them lose it, and to fall back into mid-card status as if they never competed for the big gold? 

I wish I knew.  I call it the yoyo.  They give guys brief pushes, then have them lose the belt, push them down the card and then they wonder why the fans don't take them seriously.  It blows my mind to be honest with you because instead of protecting the talent, they kill them.  It makes no sense.

Even though in the middle of a ratings war, why did the WWE insist on going into the PG direction when competing with TNA for ratings? My thoughts come from the war with WCW when they had the Attitude Era to cover them, but now, against the same management, they have gone in a different era.

1. They are not in the middle of a war with TNA.  TNA tried to compete head to head with them on Mondays and got creamed.  WWE doesn't take TNA into consideration when making moves.
2. WWE has signed deals with companies like Mattel which forced them to be less edgy.  Money talked.
