CM Punk vs Kane SMACKDOWN 6/1/12

So after the great Daniel Bryan/CM Punk match at the ppv, there was a lot of caterwauling about Kane being added to the match. With two complaints

"Triple Threat matches suck"

"Kane sucks"

Now neither statement is really true. I have never understood the hate of Triple Threat matches. At worst they are generally fun and with a good build they are great. As long as you go by the Rock,Paper,Scissors format.

Kane is as good as he wants to be. If he is motivated, he is as good as anybody in wrestling. But if he feels like dogging it, nobody can get anything out of him.

This match proves me right. Kane and Punk put out a very good match.

Punk goes in trying to weaken Kane's arm and keep him from building momentum. He does a good job of picking his spots. Slowly the match builds in intensity, until the fans are buying the near falls.

Close to the end Bryan makes his inevitable run in. It makes sense though since he would rather Punk be champion than a monster like Kane.

Show ends with Punk and Bryan double chokeslammed with an intriguing Triple Threat set up at the PPV.

Kurt Angle vs Sgt. Slaughter 3/2/2000

This is a fun TV match. Sarge did not look like an old retired guy, he just seemed like a brutish older wrestler.

It is the same match Sarge always has with younger guys, but it is a damn good formula. Angle's escape from the Cobra Clutch looked painful. With Angle snapmaring Sarge on top of his head. Then Sarge took that crazy corner bump to the floor, he always did.
