    Is it Monday yet? - Raw 07/25/2011

    Early I know, but I'm so excited!

    - Aftermath of Triple H being put in charge, Vince being canned, and Cena not being fired.

    - Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz for the new WWE championship! (I'm hoping part of the postponing is so they can break out a new belt next week).

    - With Money in the Bank over, individual feuds will start to form for SummerFest.

    - Hopefully another Zack Ryder appearance.

    I'd like to see HHH say that the champion won't be decided on tonight, but instead whoever wins gets to face Cena (since he should have a "rematch clause") at Summerslam for the title.

    And then Punk runs out at Summerslam with the old belt, destroys both of them with shots to the head, goes and picks up the new belt and then runs away.

      As awesome as that would be, it would prove that they resigned Punk and I want to wonder as long as possible. I'm excited for this week too, I wonder how long they can keep these fresh ideas going for.

        The fact that Punk beat Cena proves that they resigned Punk... if his contract was even really up on July 17.

          I'm not going to believe he has been re-signed until I see some WWE Ice Cream Bars in my grocer's freezer.

            It was in the contract..

            I want to believe that a new champion won't be crowned UNTIL SummerSlam, but that's just me. And sadly, I have a feeling it's gonna be Rey.

              Miz = ratings so he'll win. All the lil Jimmies are gonna be behind Rey no matter what.

                Rey equals Latino ratings. So its a wash. If it was Vegas I would say it would be a pick em'

                  And they have episodes of Raw in San Diego and in Mexico in the next couple months.

                    And if you need someone to go on Jimmy Fallon etc. to promote Summerslam would you pick Rey or Miz?

                      I want to see Miz win it, and eventually work a program with Punk for bragging rights over who the real WWE champion is. Two of the best shooters in the WWE going off on each other would be awesome. I wrote during my "show" with Slymm on 3/19.

                      Who are two people you would love to see feud that haven’t?

                      Street’s Corner:
                      It’s no secret that I love heels. With the exception of Orton, all my favorite wrestlers are heels. I would really like to see more heels feuding (I mean faces get to do it, right?). I know the WWE hates confusing the crowd, but I’d have loved to see the Barrett and Punk feud play out with their crappy factions behind them. Unfortunately it never happened. Since that’s not an option anymore, I’d like to see the Miz and Punk feud just for the mic work alone (I believe they are the top two mic men in the WWE). I imagine these two would have a field day shooting on eachother and the promos alone would make it an amazing feud. In the ring, Miz is usually as good as his opponent and Punk is in the upper echelon of wrestlers, so no problem there. Overall, this would just be an absolute win. Don’t turn either guy or water them down either. Just have them try to out-heel eachother and let the crowd sort it out for once. The great thing about these two is that there doesn’t need to be a real good story in place. It could just be, Miz retains at Mania and Punk becomes number one contender. The wrestlers would take it from there and before you know it, they’ll make it personal.
                      Now there can be a story in place, and Punk would be the fan favorite (i.e. less "confusing"). More reason to make it happen!!

                        I'd definitely like to see that.

                          I would take the Miz in a heartbeat. But don't underestimate the little Jimmies and Latino love for Rey.

                            So would I man. off-topic, but looking that up I found something else I wrote back when we we were still writing our column (this one was written 3/11)

                            Which “young gun” is most ready for the big time?

                            Street’s Corner:
                            I’m going off the grid for this one. Woo Woo Woo. You know it! Zack Ryder, while definitely not ready for the main event, is a guy who the company could really benefit from giving a serious push. With the Jersey Shore craze going on right now, Zack Ryder fits right in! The WWE is missing the opportunity to capitalize on this character as he plays the douche you love to hate to a perfect T. If they put some legitimate wins behind him and toned down the cartoonish aspects of his character, Zach Ryder could be a real star in the mid card and could probably be effective there as a face or a heel. He’s talented in the ring, on the mic, and has a good gimmick.

                            The main event on both shows is pretty stacked, and it’s getting back logged as mid carders are being rushed into the main event on both sides. Zach is the one guy who could move up into a crumbling mid-card and really add some life to it. This man is far too talented to be used in the same manner as Khali, Masters, and Horswoggle. He needs to be pushed beyond “backstage skit wrestler” and is my pick of the week.
                            The only response I got to that was a negative one from 55. Crazy how month's later, and this is guy is a consensus pick from everyone! Ryder has really gained a cult following in a short amount of time.

                              My money's on the Miz, as much as I dislike him.
