They don't want to put Jericho against Punk right now. Jericho's red-hot, Punk needs a big win. JBL can afford to lose, Jericho can't.

I wish that Jericho had found his way into the title match, because this setup is a bit too obvious. JBL does all he can to discredit Punk, gets shut up at Summerslam. (And he might not get a lot of offense.)
My fantasy outcome involves JBL rolling Punk up and hooking the tights to become champion for 24 hours, then dropping it back to Punk the next Raw- just to give the casual and diehard fans a brief scare.
It's just not suspenseful enough, especially considering the fact that JBL isn't in the best condition.

Man, I don't think a dude with this amount of talent has been booked this badly as World Champion, yeah maybe Rey but that was different. It kind of sucks honestly I just hope they turn him heel eventually and become "I'm straight edge which means I'm better than you!" CM Punk from ROH or at least the Punk in OVW feuding with Brent Albright. where did you get bad booking from this? I told him so .

He's probably got some big thing to do with the Michaels segment. Point being that Punk needs this win more than Jericho needs a match.

I could see them having JBL win it, then dumping Punk down to feud with Jericho, and having JBL feud with either Tista or Cena. I hope that doesn't happen, but I am afraid it will. Would MUCH rather see Punk/Jericho go to a time limit draw than to have JBL crush Punk.

Do you think the WWE might have Jericho pull an Austin to HBK's Pillman, and invade Shawn's house as he's making his climactic announcement?

Would be interesting and perhaps something to talk about, but I believe they said HBK would be in attendance at the PPV and besides I don't think with his beliefs would not take part in a storyline like that.

I missed that part of RAW then. Had no clue HBK was going to be in the house @ SS. Huh. Well, I do hope you are right, and Punk does retain, and this frees him up to do a program with Jericho. Maybe Bradshaw will re-evaluate himself after a title loss, and try and recapture HIS lost glory by giving up the yuppie lifestyle that has made him "soft" and "weak"?
