Men of the future, Men of the present

Before I get to the King of the Ring and Backlash, I want to talk about something cool thats happen in the last two weeks. Last Tuesday on ECW, they had Kofi Kingston/CM Punk/Jimmy Yang Wang/Shannon Moore vs. Shelton Benjimen/Elijah Burke/Deuce/Domino. It was an explosive 8-man tag that showcased the future of pro wrestling. It was awesome. Four out of the six have the potential to be WWE or World Champion someday. Two of them already held the ECW Title (Punk and Morrison). Then last night on Raw, they had the men of the present. It was Undertaker/Kane/John Cena/Triple H vs. JBL/Randy Orton/Chavo Guerrero/Edge. A combined 31 World titles between them. I love when WWE showcases talent like that. I just that was kind of neat.

King of the Ring and the surprising winner was William Regal…no big thing. He’s just the Raw Commish. However I wonder if they will take him out of that role and into a wrestling role once again. The star of the night was CM Punk. He wound up wrestling three great matches against Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho and William Regal. He proved he can work any style. Good to see him get a push.

Backlash is this Sunday and it’s heating up. The card looks like this so far:
-World Heavyweight Championship Match: Undertaker vs. Edge
-WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Match: Randy Orton vs. JBL vs. John Cena vs. Triple H
-ECW Championship Match: Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero
-US Championship Match: MVP vs. Matt Hardy
-Batista vs. Shawn Michaels
Special Referee: Chris Jericho
-Big Show vs. The Great Khali

I can’t wait until this Sunday. WOOO. Have a wonderful week
