-- Loved C.M. Punk's "Alice in Wonderland" reference at the beginning of the show. I had forgotten that many people had looked up to that story and related it to taking LSD or other mind-altering drugs. Although people are not going to be taking "pain pills" if Undertaker taps out.

It's an intriguing question: who gets the victory here? A newly returning Undertaker isn't going to lose. And a loss by C.M. Punk means that Punk isn't in Undertaker's league. Here's the x factor: this feud is just starting. So right now it's very weak. Probably the safe bet would be for Punk to lose and this feud to continue. Or some ref incompetence/disagreement. Or Jeff to hop the rail, piss on Punk's face and gets pulled away by security. I wouldn't be allowed to say anything because I haven't walked a mile in Jeff's shoes. Look, it's not judging, it's worrying. However, one can question the credibility about how much I care about a wrestler's health when the first thing a wrestler hears when getting slammed is, "come on, get up wuss."

On the whole, the Breaking Point PPV is just so weak. One gets the sense that by the end of the night, people will be burned out of the whole "submission" novelty. While indeed DX vs. Legacy is a "falls count anywhere" brawl and Cena vs. Orton is an "I Quit" match, I have a bad feeling that when Taker vs. Punk rolls around, people will be sick of the submission novelty.

The Breaking Point card is so weak, WWE should have advertised this instead: "The PPV where we might show actual technical skill."

-Did you know that Punk has a submission hold? If you're new to the party, you didn't. Did you also know Lita, who is currently dating Punk, has "PUNK" tattooed on the inside of her bottom lip?

-Finlay and Knox was a brawl. A lot of times matches get labeled as "violent hell street fight" but are as dangerous as cottage cheese. What are they doing to my boy Knox? It's like Bam Neely all over again. Wah...

-Cryme Tyme looked very respectable in their tag team match.

-The whole Mr. Ziggles thing was vomit-inducing, but we get the point. John Morrison gets the Rey Mysterio rub by JoMo talking about how much he respects Rey blah blah blah. It seemed to me that JoMo was more natural in his environment than Dolph Ziggler, who seemed robotic. It's a good sign for the face status of JoMo, but Ziggler looks to be the man who can't think up a good comeback. Mr. Ziggles. At least it's not "Head Cheese."

-Mr. McMahon tells Teddy Long that Smackdown sucks and that Bob Barker talking about his book rules: "I've built my empire on excellence, not just 'good.'" There's such a disconnect here. Whatever point they're trying to make, hurry up and get to it.

-The Highlander Drew McInytre does what he does best: savagely beat somebody from behind. Pretty Ricky got his ass kicked by a guy with a ponytail. Finally, some sense in wrestling.
