Oh it's crazy and it's true

No one else can save me now but you"

-About "Breaking Point:" It's the PPV where WWE, who have their own brand of wrestling that focuses more on showmanship than true wrestling skill, dabs a tiny bit into technical wrestling and MMA. In fact Breaking Point is basically WWE injecting a little bit of that "MMA rush." (Rogen: "He's gonna knock him out! Oh no, he's gonna tap! He's in trouble! He needs to get out!")

In WWE, does this "rush" feel contrived? Yep. But I am glad that technical skill, which is not a huge part of WWE nowadays, is being teased to be showcased at the PPV. (I'm not at all expecting ROH goodness, mind you.)

-"Breaking Point" is going to be a weird monster. I'm not quite sold on it at all. The card has not been finalized, but here are the early impressions:

Somewhere in here there's going to be a ECW main event...wait, ECW PPV main events aren't considered main events anymore. They'll probably have Christian bust out the Sharpshooter to make all of those Canadians crap themselves due to their Bret Hart love. And some more "Regal's Roundtable" baloney.

Kane vs. Khali in a Singapore cane match. This is not considered a "main event," so it's a Singapore cane match. How long can two meatheads stand still and whack each other with sticks? Care to find out? "Here, Khali. We're not going to ask you to do rudimentary wrestling moves like Irish whips. Those are too complex. Just take this cane and hit the white bald man with it until your music plays. You'll do fine. Oh, and you're in 'Get Smart 2.' You're going to get paid more than Bono. Congrats!"

MVP/Mark Henry vs. Christina/Show is already over. They've built MVP and Henry up, but the match itself is a lame joke. Beauty and the Beast retain, while MVP and Henry do whatever the hell they do on Raw.

DX vs. Legacy, for all intents and purposes, is a "Falls Count Anywhere" match. It's inconceivable that either member of DX will tap, so like before, we're hoping for a "good performance" in Legacy's loss as they get hit with plastic garbage cans.

Cena vs. Orton is an "I Quit" match, which will feature Cena doing his comical war face and screaming, "NOOOOOOOO! I won't GIVE up! Nooooooo! Urgghhhh! Arggghhh! Mahhhhh! Urgghhhh some more!" Want to know my reaction? "No."

The really true straight-up technical submissions match will be Undertaker vs. C.M. Punk. Can Undertaker still pull it off even due to his age? We'll see.

For you youngins...

See y'all at Kurt Angle's trial (unless the thing's already been settled out of court), where the accuser will sing Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" as his defense.
