Ryback is already tired? I DVR'd RAW this week but seeing how dead the crowd was I don't think I'll bother watching it.

[krulmichael]

The endings of the last three weeks of Raw has been absolutely brutal to watch.

[JayDizzle]

Punk ate all that offense so you know he's winning at the PPV.

And Ziggler's gonna get buried because of Vickie not having the stones to face up to Vince.

[JimLeavy59]

I hope USA drops RAW.

I hope USA drops RAW.

Why?

Again as people told you 9 pages ago, you don't HAVE to watch it.

I put a new article up on Voices of Wrestling talking missed opportunity of the WWE Hall of Fame.

http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2012/12/04/wwe-hall-of-fame-missed-opportunity/

It may be late November, but the radio airwaves and sports sites across the internet are filled with discussion about America’s pastime, baseball. Why is everyone discussing a sport that ended months ago? The 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot was released and on it were a number of suspected steroid users including Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. This has elicited numerous discussions on the merits of Hall of Fame candidacy, character clauses, if they were stars before steroids and so on. On a lesser scale players like Alan Trammell and Tim Raines get their respective Baseball Reference pages buzzing again with people looking up stats, compared them to the game’s greats and clamoring for their enshrinement in Cooperstown. As a baseball fan, all of it is great. As a wrestling fan, I cannot help but be a little bit jealous.

Here is the New Jersey indy dude who uses the gimmick. Just awesome.

He doesn't look 6'3" 220lbs.

Does anyone use the Kin Corn Karn or The Amazon gimmicks?

Whenever Starman wins, they should say A WINNER IS YOU!

Punk had a knee surgery? Or is he working the IWC?

[FedEx227]

No, it sounds 100% legit. Haven't heard any details on how serious but the whole "immediate surgery with Dr. James Andrews" is usually not a good thing.

[Warner2BruceTD]

WWE.com reported that C.M. Punk is currently undergoing knee surgery in Pensacola, FL.

Punk flew to Florida after Raw last night in Greensboro to be examined by Dr. James Andrews for a knee injury that dates back at least a few weeks. After the examination, the decision was made for immediate surgery.

The surgery was expected beforehand to be minor and he would spend a minimal amount of time out of action, but the expectation right now is he won't be wrestling on the TLC PPV.

We'll update more if we get details as to the exact injury and severity of the surgery.

[JimLeavy59]

John Cena gets injured on day 380.
CM Punk has knee surgery on day 380.

Clearly Randy Orton is behind it, and will trade the title with Triple H three times at TLC.

[FedEx227]

We're okay.

WWE.com confirms trimming cartilage tear. Athletes in past have returned to practice 1-2 weeks after this surgery
