I'm not going to devote an entire column to this, but I did want to chime in on the CM Punk/Jack Perry controversy. If this were any other era in wrestling, this would have kickstarted a money program. Granted, I don't know that many people would tune in to see the former Jungle Boy wrestle, but clearly, this is a feud that would boost ratings. We have a situation where genuine heat backstage could steal eyeballs away from WWE, even if it's out of morbid curiosity. But it won't happen. Because Tony Khan isn't a real wrestling booker and Jack Perry isn't a real professional wrestler.
It's a shame, as Perry's heel work in recent months has impressed his naysayers (the Cornettes of the world). It can't be argued that he has improved on the mic from where he was a couple of years ago. Seems like a childish prick, but what can you do?
