Hello, folks! I’m not planning on reviewing the PPV in real-time tonight (WorldWrestlingInsanity‘s Aaron Wood will have you covered in that regard), though I will be trying to watch it. Since I got all but one match right at Night of Champions a few months back, I thought I’d try my hand at tonight’s Unforgiven PPV.
My picks, after the jump! (more…)
Championship Scramble Battle Royals and the contract signing between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho highlight RAW, emanating live taped Sunday night from St. Louis, MO, the hometown of former WWE Champion Randy Orton. Will the Legend Killer make an appearance?

Holy hell – I never expected the new RAW GM to be him! I’m not going to post it up here though, if you don’t know who it is already. I didn’t find out who the new RAW GM was until 7:30 this morning, and I’m going to make you wait just the same. Meanwhile, RAW was pretty… interesting last night. Michael Cole was in a match, was beaten up, replaced with Mike Adamle, and then later, JR joined Adamle and the King on commentary. Kane and JBL got into it a few times, Cena and Batista almost went at it, and CM Punk took on William Regal, among other things.
The results, and my analysis after the jump!

BWF Podcast 3 (Right Click, Save As)
I feel a lot better this week, and as such, this Podcast is probably going to sound a little better than last week. I actually recorded it at 1:30 this morning to make sure that I would have it up on time this week. I discuss the past week in professional wrestling, including WWE Night of Champions, and CM Punk winning the World Heavyweight Championship the next night on RAW.

It was bound to happen eventually, but I don’t think anybody expected it to happen last night. As I’m typing this, I’m looking over my shoulder because my girlfriend is standing directly behind me, hasn’t seen RAW yet, and doesn’t know what happened, so I don’t want to spoil it for her. She was with me at WrestleMania 24, she saw CM Punk win Money in the Bank live and in person, and we’ve watched him carry that briefcase around on television for the last three months, wondering when he’d cash it in. Well, Edge found out the hard way last night, as he showed up on RAW and walked out minus one World Championship. Even by the halfway point of the show, the WWE writers kept us guessing as to whether or not Punk would even leave with his newly won title in hand, but alas, he did. When my girlfriend does see it, I might ruin it ever so slightly for her though. See, she’s a Jeff Hardy fan – and if Jeff hadn’t violated the wellness policy and missed WrestleMania, he would be World Heavyweight Champion right now. Think about that for a second. Jeff Hardy could be World Champion. Lesson for you kids: Don’t do drugs!

This is not the official Monday Night RAW posting – that will come in the morning. I just wanted to throw up a quick post here in celebration of CM Punk cashing in Money In The Bank to bring the World Heavyweight Championship to RAW! Punk, taking advantage of a fallen Edge who was beaten down by Batista, cashed in his Money in the Bank title shot, hitting Edge with the Go To Sleep to take the World Heavyweight Championship!
Congrats, Punk!
