The Stomping Ground: I’m Thankful For… (CM Punk, The Rock)

Columns, Top Story

Everyone’s favorite Smackdown recapper is back with more witty goodness. I’m no gondolier but I think I’m a pretty damn good host, wouldn’t you say?

Considering the day this article gets posted is Thanksgiving, and we’ll all be gorging ourselves on turkey, I’m not expecting a huge turnout. It’s time for a fluff piece in a segment I like to call “What I’m Thankful For.”

*I’m thankful for CM Punk as WWE Champion.

*I’m thankful for guys like Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, and Wade Barrett finally getting a chance to shine.

*I’m thankful for AJ Lee. Hubba hubba!

*I’m thankful for Kelly Floyd forgiving me for that last remark. (Love ya, Kel!)

*I’m thankful for Widro, Glazer, and Matthew Michaels giving me the chance to spout my nonsense on a weekly basis.

*I’m thankful for Blair Douglas because the trolls all gravitate to him and not me.

*I’m thankful for getting the chance to see Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XXV.

*I’m thankful for getting the chance to see The Rock one more time at Survivor Series.

*I’m thankful for my brilliant sense of humor (as is everyone I know, obviously).

*I’m thankful for my modesty and sarcasm. But mostly sarcasm. And I’m not really all that modest. You know what, forget the modesty thing.

*I’m thankful for my patience with the world of professional wrestling. How else does one survive the birth of a hand, the Shockmaster, the Fingerpoke of Doom, and Katie Vick?

*I’m thankful for you, the readers. Without you guys and gals, I’d be nothing but some poor shlub wasting his time here at the Pulse.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll see you all this weekend as I recap Smackdown once again. The next time you hear from me, I’ll be 29!

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Since February of 2011, "The Master of Smarkasm" Mike Gojira has tickled the funny bones of Inside Pulse readers with his insightful comedy, timely wit, and irreverent musings on the world of professional wrestling. Catch his insanely popular column, The Stomping Ground, whenever he feels like posting a new edition (hey, I've earned the right). He is also totally modest and doesn't know the meaning of hyperbole.
