Wrestling Wrap Up: 10/19 - 10/25

Punk vs. Bryan begins! Plus, Mickie fights on Impact, Vince wants you to stand up and Bragging Rights results!

Did anyone from Smackdown ever actually brag about their Bragging Rights win last year? Before, say, three weeks ago? I doesn't matter I guess. What does matter is that you check out my Bragging Rights Recap immediately. I'm not going to lie to you. If you don't, you might die. And that's not something I want to brag about. Even though I will.

It's Halloween time, biznatches! The best time of the entire freakin' year. Why? Because there's demons and Twix n' s@#$! That's why! Everything you buy comes with blood on it. All girl's costumes are "Slutty [Fill in the Blank]." You're allowed to terrify old people, even if it means breaking into their homes to do so. No one is allowed, under penalty of law, to say "too soon" if you tell a joke about someone who's recently died! And everyone, without exception, is allowed one murder! It's truly a night to let your freak flag fly. Or in the very least, walk around without deodorant. LIBERATION!

Also, the wife and I will be celebrating 10 years of wedded bliss on that night. And by "bliss," I mean bliss. Because I love her. Awww!

So, welcome to this special spooktacular edition of the Wrap Up. All of my random meme pictures will be 'Ween themed and have to do with death and chaos. Oh, Samhain, I honor thee. And just when you thought this week couldn't get any better, the WWE begins, ever so slightly, to deliver on a Punk vs. Bryan feud on RAW.

They haven't come to blows yet, but the anticipation for this one is a killer! And on top of this new feud that's starting, we got to see Bryan/Ziggler II last night. Yes, a top-notch rematch of the best bout from Bragging Rights. And I was so sure that Bryan would lose in order to even things out, but they didn't do it. Punk was right there. He could have easily, you know, cost Bryan the match. The ending was actually pretty damn clever. I loved Vickie putting Ziggler's leg under the rope and then having the ref still refuse to acknowledge it because he didn't see it in time. Very well done. Bravo. There wasn't much "new" stuff going on last night, but this whole beginning of the show made up for it.

Punk doesn't know this, but I did a slow, sarcastic clap at his slow, sarcastic clap from home.

Now it seems as though Punk and Bryan will probably meet at Survivor Series. Are they going to run the usual Elimination Team matches this year? They dropped that whole concept for a while in the past. Plus, they just had three big Elimination Team Matches over the past four PPVs. It might be time to give that a rest. But still, I wouldn't mind seeing a Team Bryan face Team Punk. Throw Ziggler and Kaval in there and you've got an effin' bacchanal! They could do the team thing and then eventually work it into some one-on-one matches in December. Either way, I'm excited as balls. Plus, Bryan almost out "straight-edge"s Punk because he's a vegan. Cole used to always knock Bryan because he doesn't eat meat, but that's the least difficult part of being a vegan. You can't eat anything. You can hardly breathe in and out since most of our air has, like, animal by-product in it. Our entire country is like a giant carnivore minefield. Anyways, I don't think they'll be able to run, fully, the "Bryan is a nerd" thing here because Punk's character is also supposed to be sort of a killjoy "square." But who cares! It's Halloween time!

It's probably best if you brought the spectral hounds with you inside the store.

Impact was super-packed filled with stuff. Not much of it was wrestling, but that's to be expected these days I suppose. By the way, Dixie's still trying to get the whole "takeover" angle over via Twitter. She says she's talking to her lawyers to try and fight this invasion and so on. I miss the days when she would just post pictures of all the things she killed while hunting.
