The headline of a memo sitting on the copier at work: CARROT AWARENESS.

Besides the obvious, what can that mean? Yes, I am aware of carrots. Should I be more so?



Now for sweet, sweet Punk and his cross-legged promo.

First off, I guess Steph has a new OTPCHATFICLOL rp buddy. YESDRIZELLA. Punk totally respects John Cena the most. Noone in teh back but him. It's just Cena being the best that makes him crazy, baby. The man pain and angst. Can Punk work through his jealousy or will it tear them apart.

I thought I was beyond caring, you know. I mean, I'M THE ONE WHO KEEPS WATCHING ALL THE DAMN TIME. I'm moar loyaler than everyone, Steph. Why must I always sit in this ditch with the rain and the bugs and loneliness. Geez.

Anyway, when Punk wasn't a puppet dancing for Steph and YesD, he was spewing some mighty fine Smark 101. Triple H and Steph rooned wrestling! Vince likes money! JOhnny Ace yells at people! Punk could live like a king in ROH. Colt Cabana is the most awesome thing ever.

(As a serious aside, Vince needs to get over his mortality issues. Vince dying doesn't make for compelling storytelling (see exploding limos, etc); Punk pondering a post-Vince WWE, only terrifies Vince)

Moe's one question during the promo: Why is he wearing a Stone Cold t-shirt?

Me: They're BFFs on Twitter!

I guess I'm too crabby and untrusting, and I know better than to give a damn so I didn't believe it was a shoot. Too scripted, too many of Vince's tics. But, Punk made it fun to watch. The dude can deliver serious cross-legged, pantless snark. And the mike cut-off followed by a black screen was an awesome closer.

Now, will it have a cool follow up?

Goodness, is it Carrot Awareness Day already?? I'm nowhere near ready.

I know, right. I'm still trying to use up all the leftovers from Parsnip Rememberance Day.

Oh I don't believe for a second it was a shoot. Too much breaking of the fourth wall. But as you said, it was totally fun to watch. My guess is that WWE made some back-door deal with ROH. If Punk and Stone Cold aren't a WM main event, I will be very surprised. And disappointed.

STEPH KNOWS ME SO WELL! I was flailing all over the place. I will somehow need to watch their final match. Swoon.

I was amused that so many of the chicks in my Tumblr stream think Punk's been legitimately suspended. It's endearing.

Massively wonderful promo on his part; I think this is the first big shoot since Brian Pillman's to make the entire industry stand up and take notice.

I was reminded more of Joey Styles promo from a few years back.

Wow, I didn't even think of Styles' promo - good call there!
