In case you are wondering where have I been the last few weeks...no, I'm not dead yet. I've had a series of medical probs the last few weeks, thus why I haven't written any blogs or responded to any messages. So please be patient, this time of year is usually hard on me health wise. I'm still watching the WWE and loving ever moment of it. I hope to be well enough soon to be back to my usual 'ranting' self.

Shelton is the Gold Standard because his hair is gold and he's the US Champion. What more reasons does anyone need?

MVP is better than you. There's no point in trying to argue. He says he is and he is.

If Jeff Hardy becomes WWE Champion -- and I'm fall for it because I like the guy -- it'll be the best thing to happen to the Smackdown heels. They'll all line up to take a shot at Jeff: Big Show, Shelton, MVP, The Kendrick, Kozlov, Khali, and Edge and Umaga when they get back. It'll be a turkey shoot. Not to mention Triple H and Undertaker. So I'm 100% on Jeff's side at No Mercy. I hope he finally achieves his dream. Then he'll wake up the next morning and realize what he's up against. WWE Champion Jeff Hardy would be a great thing for Smackdown, though it'll be the opposite for his health and well-being.

Rebecca getting punched in the face was Shawn Michaels' fault. Not only should he not have brought his wife, a civilian, into the ring, if he were any kind of man he would have dived in front of the punch instead of letting his wife take it for him. Besides, Michaels got his revenge at Unforgiven and his wife is probably fine now. Whatever, it's ancient history.

I'd like to remind you that back in July, Chris Jericho beat Shawn Michaels so savagely he detached his retina. He was out for weeks. That beating should have ended his career. In fact, Michaels was going to retire until that wife of his got punched. At Unforgiven the worst beating Shawn Michaels could dish out -- has ever dished out to anyone -- still left a wounded Jericho able to enter the Scramble and win the World Title. And though still injured, Jericho hasn't missed a show, wrestled and has won every week since, and defended the title successfully in a cage. Jericho has every right to complain about not getting time off, but he still mans up and does what needs to be done. Give Jericho his due. Jericho is great.

Punk had his shot and he blew it. Jericho has his number, and now Punk gets a new number, which puts him at the back of the line of contenders. World's smallest violin for Punk. Can't cry over spilled milk. Them's the breaks. And so forth.

Jericho should get next week off. But I am also concerned he won't be 100% for Shawn Michaels. He should get the rest of the month off to make sure he's in tip top shape to embarass HBK in the ladder match Michaels made famous. Be fair to Jericho!
