Cheap heat is one thing... but that went a little too far. Crowd seemed to absolutely hate it. I'm a Punk fan, and he can make anything into gold, but that kind of pissed me off.
Making light of heart attacks hits a chord with me. Not just cause of losses in the family, but seeing things happen to Lawler or Fabrice Muamba or that Italian kid that died. Very poor taste

Personal means personal conflicts between characters. Characters. these are all characters, yes a event happened outside the world of wrestling. but the person who was the incident happened to seems to be damn fine with all of ths being taken in to a fictional world. where they all become charictaers Just because he's fine with it doesn't mean it should happen.

It's like Vince is still furious about last Tuesday, and so he went overboard by doing all the tasteless shit he couldn't do before then.
I expect bladejobs and references to abortion in the main event.

Three people just vomited on 2 Broke Girls, and it was a refreshing change of pace.

Lawler probably okayed all that anyway. Oooh, Maddox has his own camera man. Still, they shouldn't be joking around with a situation that could've very well ended with a man dying. Seems kinda skivvy to me.

That whole segment was so awesome. This whole show's been top-level so far, everything's felt like a big deal. That hasn't happened since Raw 1000. At first, I was so pissed. But Punk made it work. He really did. It crossed the line to awesomeness once the initial shock of "THEY WOULDN'T" wore off, for me. That being said, if you're offended, TOTALLY get it, I kind of am myself. But Lawler's old school as hell, so is Punk, and they evoked a lot of emotion out of people. Agreed overall this show has been really really good, great pace great crowd.

I can appreciate how Punk wants to be a performer who's respected as being capable of making anything work, but I'm kind of annoyed by how desperately he wants to be an 80s Crockett-style heel of old, who gets attacked by crowds on his way out of the building. It's like he wants to prove that those kinds of heels can still exist in the business, and so he and the WWE are going overboard. Almost irresponsibly so.

I can't wait for that Brad Maddox youtube show, is there any chance he'll win tonight? no??? Dean Ambrose run-in to give Braddox the win. Book it.

That was the best segment this company has done in months. I don't get why everyone is offended. King obviously agreed to it, hell, he probably pushed for it. Because you should have enough sense to turn a guy having a massive heart attack and almost dying on your show into an angle. It cheapens everything that happened in reality with the stench of a cheap angle. To me, if Jerry approved it or not is not really important, he's a good solider, and would do anything for the business.

Easily the worst 20 minutes in the history of this company. It went a bit too far, but I've seen far, far worse from this company.

That was great. In all honesty, it reminded me of the old battles that the Freebirds used to have with the Von Erichs and how real it was and how people in "real life" were really pissed off at Michael Hayes and wanted to kill him for the stuff he did to Fritz. It's how you get your ppv buys because now you want to see that guy get his a$$ whipped. Plus he has the title on top of it.
