Jim Ross posted his latest blog at jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:

The Rock and CM Punk's closing segment: "The closing segment involving @TheRock and Punk was the unofficial kickoff to the road to WrestleMania in my estimation which will be preceded by a stop in Phoenix for the Royal Rumble and in New Orleans for the Elimination Chamber. I felt the chemistry between the two stars and their verbal interaction had an Attitude Era feel.

"I find it somewhat humorous that some fans and pundits are actually keeping score as to who got the better of the other during their extended 'conversation' as I felt that the true winners of the 'debate' were the fans. How one can accurately judge such a subjective piece of business such as we heard is a head scratcher to me but I'm certainly not saying that folks don't have a right to their opinion. Bottom line, and the good news, is that people cared enough to have an opinion.

"Most resonating statement in the final segment, in my view, was Punk saying that he was "Going to kick your ass" to Rock. That's what it's still all about...kicking one's ass."

United States Champion Antonio Cesaro: "@AntonioCesaro delivering his finisher, the Neutralizer, to a behemoth the size of Khali was a jaw dropper. By the time that WrestleMania rolls around, I'm thinking that Cesaro will be a significant player on April 7. Cesaro is the type of in ring talent that would have been coveted in virtually any era and would never have had to look for work in the territory days."

Big Show as champion: "The seemingly, the newly minted Big Show is continuing to bring enhanced relevance to the World Title which subsequently will make all of Show's future opponents have more meaning. Meaningful titles are imperative to any promotion because if championships don't mean much then what does?"[/quote]

Lol at the last bit.

I did not see any part of Raw this week. So all that I know about the Punk segment was things that I have read on dirtsheets and OSR. And from what I can gather, it was rather typical heel heat. Of course Punk is going to critcise some of the best in the industry. Every bad guy has to present himself as the best that there ever will be, regardless of their actual skill level. And the best way for them to do that is to target the best fan favourites that there ever was.

But then again, was anyone other than Billy Graham bothered by what Punk said?

A lot of people hate the Big Show simply because he is the Big Show. It has nothing to do with his large weight, poor figure or poor win-loss record. Show regularly spends months at a time on the injury list or as enhancement talent, and then comes back to become one of the best heels in the company. You are not a main eventer until Big Show puts you over. After all, in 2006 he carried the ECW and SmackDown brands simultaneously, even though 2 knee injuries meant that he could barely walk.

Big Show still has what it takes to be a dominant World Champion. But seeing as his only opponent so far has been the man that he won the title from, it is far too early to say that Big Show has revitilised the World Title division yet.

Well, Currently He has a Rivality With Alberto Del Rio...

I didn't want to mention that yet as it potentially spoils a show being broadcast tomorrow night.

Well, What I said wasn't based On that but on The matches that were planned to happen before that, I predicted a Big Show Rivality with ADR And that's what happend
